Maybe it's on me since I at first thought the series was like Planet Earth but for food, given how the first episode was shot and directed. But the second episode (Water) abandoned the "this is how different people cook using this method" and went whole hog into "fast food is bad, industrial production is bad, slow cooking is awesome, ....oh and water can be used for cooking." I even agree with most of his points but get back to the food porn. Maybe I'll start up the other two before Daredevil comes back later this week.

I haven't kept up with it in the off season so I was like  when I found out Shane from The Walking Dead is The new Punisher when I started watching again. Great casting choice imho

Does this season still have boring characters whose stories go nowhere and add nothing? That and the iffy acting made me really really regret watching the first season.

If it wasn't for the amazing Punisher scenes in the first two episodes I would have probably not continued watching season 2. The side-actors (as in, not the main characters) are incredibly loving terrible in those episodes. I'm glad I stuck with it because 3 on are pretty legit and the side actors decided to actually try acting (except the DA lady she is continually horrible). Jon Bernthal is loving perfect as Frank Castle, though.

The predicted rating can also be pretty inaccurate if you haven't rated much. It's usually right on the money for me, but I went out of my way to rate a bunch of stuff.

Is Daredevil better than Jessica Jones? I found JJ to be possibly good at times, but mostly 5 episodes too long, lovely side characters, and many missed opportunities (for example the hospital scene towards the end of season). So given the praise that tricked me into watching JJ, I am a little hesitant about the praise given to Daredevil. I have the tendency to judge television harsher than movies (for example I feel like House of Cards has been poo poo since the start of season 2). Still I am tempted to give Daredevil a spin. Is there really that much of difference between JJ and DD?

Is there really that much of difference between JJ and DD? I enjoyed the first season of Daredevil (haven't started the second yet) and couldn't stand Jessica Jones for more than three episodes. I thought the dialog was super clunky and was put off by story inconsistencies (Jessica's powers only ever seem to come in to play at super convenient times). The writing in Daredevil isn't perfect, but it's on a better level overall than JJ. The characters are more likable, the story moves pretty well (aside from some of the ninja stuff) and they've got a unique take on their villain. It's also just a pretty show to look at and has some surprisingly strong fight choreography.

Oh my god hahaha I love it when people learn this to contribute, the new Mitchell Hurwitz / Will Arnett vehicle Flaked is pretty watchable. There's only 8 episodes so it's not a huge commitment A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Mar 20, 2016 |

Holy poo poo I didn't know this either, I've been skipping over so many things. Also finally watched Mad Max Fury Road on HBO GO and as someone who was never a fan of the previous movies it really impressed me. Everyone should give it a try.

NESguerilla posted:I've rated hundreds upon hundreds of movies and it still seems like a crapshoot. I do get the occasional movie or show where it says I'll rate it 2 or 3 stars but it looks like my kind of thing so I watch it and I'm feeling more like 4 stars. I think that happens when there's that one movie that's not "tied" to any other movie, or else nobody's heard of or watched it so there's no basis for comparison to the rest of the catalog. Or it's new and never been on Netflix before. Or... it's divisive and people either love or hate it so they put your predicted rating right in the center. Also everybody should get a Criticker account if they really want accurate predictions for stuff they'd like.

Finally quit dragging my feet on Charlie Countryman and it was really pretty excellent. I had no idea what to expect (for some reason the title made me figure it was some kind of IRA-era piece of something,) and I was super stoked to see one of my favorite actors, Mads Mikkelson, in it. A really fun movie, great music, and Bucharest was a most excellent setting. Also the guy who played Darko reminds me a whole lot of Michael Rooker. One scary motherfucker. morestuff posted:They're both like six episodes too long and end on wet farts Casting the dude who was Shane in TWD was a great choice for Punisher, he looks good in bruises. Lots of bruises. All the time, beaten to a pulp.. And the Punisher in prison scene was just as satisfying as it was from the comics. And frankly even though the ninjas are kinda silly, Vincent Dinofrio as Kingpin was inspired, and the ninja guys are way, way less obnoxious than the League of Assassins poo poo from Arrow.

Just watched Room 237 on Netflix and it was a pretty eye-opening experience and a must-see if you're a Kubrick fan. A lot of the theories seemed to hold a lot of weight, in particular the labyrinth/Minotaur allegory and the Native American/Nazi genocidal imagery, but I have to say a lot of the theories seemed pretty disjointed when compared to each other and I was rolling my eyes pretty hard when they devoted a not insignificant portion of the documentary to explaining how the moon landing was definitely faked. I guess that's an occupational hazard when you're giving symbologists and conspiracy theorists a box to preach on, but I did really enjoy the idea that Kubrick was using his genius to "shine" the tragedy of the human condition into our brains through the use of horror and subliminal imagery. One more complaint: there was sort of an off-hand comment made during the beginning that suggested Danny Torrance was using his abilities to deteriorate his father mentally and compel him toward his own death, and I wish they spent more time on that thread because that was definitely an intriguing interpretation coyo7e posted:Finally quit dragging my feet on Charlie Countryman and it was really pretty excellent.

This has been on my list for a while, I had no idea Mads was in it so I'm definitely gonna pull the trigger on this, thanks!

The fight scene when the punisher is in prison is brutal and really well done. I hope whoever is making those fight sequences gets a lot more work in the future. And room 237 was really good except for the moon landing bit mentioned above.

Justice League, Unlimited, Young Justice, are all pretty good. "The Batman" is pretty freaking bad yet netflix thinks ill give it 5 stars. They threw out the Mike Mignola design of mr freeze ben 10ed it up and made him a diamond thief rather then a scientist. Its whole style is pretty dang bad.

There's a Henry Rollins vampire movie up now that is awesome. HE NEVER DIED. Imagine if Henry Rollins made a movie about being a vampire. That pretty much sums it up. Seriously. Go watch the movie. Or don't. gently caress you I don't care if you watch it or not. That's the movie.
