FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
End of the loving World is really good. Seems more of a long movie than a series, but I enjoyed it. Some really unexpected stuff.

Took me a while to realize where I knew Alyssa from, she was in Penny Dreadful. drat actresses in their 20s playing teens gets me every time.

Any takes on Hulu’s other time travel show 11.22.63? I want to like it one episode in, but haven’t heard much about it either way.

I enjoyed it. Fairly faithful to the book, nothing groundbreaking but a cool theme.

Powered through American Vandal last night and I really enjoyed it. Funny, charming, and just a little bit of actual tension there. Anyone have suggestions for something else on Netflix or Amazon up the same alley? Movies or shows work for me

It's quite good, though as with most King adaptations the ending is the weakest part.

I'm a 22 year old baby and Letterman is the only late night interviewer I've ever liked. His three interviews with Harmony Korine are masterpieces.

So I watched all of GLOW. I didn’t love it, but it was pretty good. I’ve never seen Orange Is the New Black or anything else by the creators, so I don’t know how this compares. I did like how the relationship between Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin’s characters progressed, but overall I wasn’t super hot on it. I think I liked Marc Maron the best, which is almost kind of disappointing considering nearly all the cast are women and it looks like a good deal of the people making it are as well. Usually I like when shows keep it short, but I think this one could have used a little more time to flesh some things out. I’ll definitely watch the next season though.

But watching it reminded me of that guy a while back who kept complaining about how gross it was that you heard a woman peeing in the first episode, which is pretty hilarious now that I actually know the scene he was talking about.

Edit: Also The End of the loving World should definitely not have a second season. I loved it, but the ending was perfect and I think making more would probably just end up diluting it.

I watched that this morning; I liked it, even though given the Netflix Original branding I was expecting it to be mediocre at best.

Ah, dang, that’s the one I was thinking of, yeah. They were trying to break into a super-fortified diamond vault in The Trust, my mind mixed it up.

I'd been meaning to watch Bright for a while. Finally watched it.

I thought it was pretty fun. I heard it's getting a sequel and I'm looking forward to that. Kinda disappointed with all the critics making GBS threads all over it.

Then again being a COLOSSAL science-fiction and fantasy nerd I kinda knew going in that I'd probably enjoy it, so I'm biased. I felt some Shadowrun vibes while watching it. I would happily watch it again, but I'd love to see more in that world.

This pretty much sums it up. I went in cold because my wife and I were just looking for something random to watch, and the premise was goofy enough we thought it'd be good fun. It kinda was, but yeah, it's not like it'll be a cult classic or something. I also agree that the ending was trash.

The robbery was just so damned frustrating. Yeah, competence in criminals is probably unrealistic and they were trying to show family dynamics, but the sheer level of poor decisions made it hard to watch. Then the supernatural part was unremarkable.

I had no idea what a great movie Thelma and Louise is! Every scene is packed with detail and character development. I loved that the dirt bag husband walks out of his house with coupons pinned all over the bulletin boards and steps right up to a Porsche. I love in the beginning when the girls are totally on their own and paranoid, and all the shots are framed with creepy guys out of focus in the background. Buying nips instead of bottles. Harvey Keitel laughing as he's running out of the rain. The symbolism of big rigs. Even all the mid-century diners, which are just cool, and, is this the movie that connected those diners to outlaws, like we see in pulp fiction?

Pretty much every other Fox animated show not named The Simpsons is on Hulu, so I imagine King of the Hill will wind up there at some point.

I’ve probably watched Dredd more than any other movie outside of stuff I or my siblings watched when we were young, it just thoroughly kicks rear end while filing out some interesting ideas on the police state. But mostly you’re watching it for Karl Urban scowling and blowing off kneecaps.

It was my go-to movie action movie for like 6 months, probably watched it like ten times during that span, then it was replaced by The Raid, then John Wick and now John Wick 2. Basically at all times I have some flashy action eye candy to go to when I'm itching for it and then after a while something comes along to replace it. Was hoping Atomic Blonde would be the successor to JW2 but it turned out to be a completely different beast(in a good way, it just wasn't John Wick 3).
