Ozark is really good. Jason Bateman plays a great and subtle scumbag.

morestuff posted:Watched the pilot for the new The Tick and it was really bad. Peter Serafinowicz does a great Adam West impression, as you might expect, but it's offputtingly grim and looks ugly as sin The tone didn't really bother me at all; it's much more in line with the comics. Serafinowicz is much better in the second episode, though, and the costume looks light-years better. quote:Wally Pfister directed it so I was expecting something competent I don't know, did you ever see-- quote:I never saw Transcendence Oh. It was bad. It was really bad.

Transcendence is fantastic if you're on a bunch of drugs. Other than that pass.

So it sounds like I'll like Death Note considering I've never heard of nor cared about the anime? Dope.

Death Note was bad and I love it. Willam Dafoe was a master stroke of casting.

I finally got around to watching Innerspace on Netflix. I haven't seen it in a very long time. How come this movie never got the same sort of fanbase and following similar to what something like Ghostbusters has? It's similar in that it pairs great comedy with scifi and action. It has an amazing cast. Yeah you could probably swap out Dennis Quaid with someone else, but holy poo poo Martin Short is great in it. It'd be a totally different movie with someone else in it. Lots of other smaller parts and cameos as well. Plus it has Dick Miller, which GB doesn't have.

Because Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd were huge. Like, mind-blowingly huge. This is coming right off the heels of Blues Brothers, Caddyshack, Stripes, and Trading Places. Just a career peak at the time.

I'd put it more on the idea of being a Ghostbuster, a clever and triumphant underdog, being a popular power fantasy while nobody fantasizes about flying around inside Martin Short other than the person who's going to respond to this post saying how much they've always wanted to do that.

Death Note - Very entertaining. It made me think of Final Destination except Death is a bored demon and the main characters are power-hungry little shits. Ozarks - It's good! Makes me think of Breaking Bad but, uh, darker.

The deuce pilot was really entertaining. It's so scummy and gross it's a little hard to watch lol. The sets are incredible though. It's probably one of the most convincing looking period pieces I've seen.

precision posted:Yeah it's fantastic and surprisingly way more than just a joke. Its a parody that could have very easily turned into a Will Ferrel type show, but just the fact that they used Romanian actors in a fake-dubbed series gives it so much nuance... That premise alone makes it very cool and very worth watching. Also 80ies nostalgia lol.

Ozark - I don't know if it's because of Arrested Development, but I often found myself wanting Marty to be a tiny bit more humourous.

I still think the anime is more fun but this version's alright. I think the live-action Japanese movies failed because they were so slavish to the original, which is a problem this movie definitely does not have.

The throwaway bit in the very beginning where one of Franco's characters says 'Hi' to a prostitute blowing a guy in a phone booth absolutly sells the tone of the series.

It's a fun watch and captures a slice of life in a place I would have never known about otherwise. Does remind me of my parents place on the Tennessee river back home a lot and the whole "lake life" aesthetic definitely applies to a lot of the south, including my home town. For reference I'm from a part of Appalachia that looks a lot like the ozarks apparently i.e. rolling hills tons of kudzu and deciduous trees bordering waterfront. so it carried some nostalgia since I've been living in LA and haven't been home in a while It didn't seem to take itself too seriously either which I appreciated.

Warning everyone, please don't watch Disjointed. It's just Big Bang Theory, except stoners. I thought the opening gag was just a joke, but the laugh track didn't end  I had to shut it off after 5 mins.

Sometimes I let mawkish sitcom poo poo wash over me like a stupefying wave after work and it really helps dull the pain of existence.

If you can tolerate those, then sure. I personally can't tolerate them enough to even have on in the background, so I won't be checking out Disjointed, despite my love of Kathy Bates.
