MacheteZombie posted:no clue but bonestorms my fav segment of viral I like the other things I’ve seen from Benson and Moorehead, but Bonestorm was rough. I thought the characters were obnoxious, the action repetitive/nonsensical, and the camera work too frantic. To each their own, though. I don’t have Shudder so I guess I’m stuck on my attempt to catch up with the franchise for now.

The Patient better really knock it out of the park next week with the finale because this is really dragging. This should have been 6 episodes maximum.

I can't figure out if it's actually dragging or if it just feels like it due to the 30 minute episodes. I bet it would be a much better binge watch than weekly. It is a frustrating show. Every week feels like something is about to happen and then it doesn't

The final line in the new episode was amazing lol. I dunno I think it’s a good show but it’s segmented and paced in this way that it’s just sort of frustrating. But the performances and writing are great.

So that's a definite negative response on the 30 minute episode suspense format from the survey group e I like it and I wish I'd find more of these shows way after they were done, like Severance. It just looked like it was going to be some dumb office thing so I never watched it

I actually have really come to appreciate 30 minute episodes in general lately, but I don't know how well it works for glacially paced drama thrillers. On one hand I really enjoy the characters. Steve Carrel and Domhnall Gleeson are fantastic in it. I look forward to it every week just for their interactions, which tbh is mostly the point of the show. But at the same time literally every episode is like, Steve Carrel thinking about getting out of the basement>Steve Carrel does not get out of the basement. As far story goes it's pretty much at square one and nothing has happened since the first episode. Every escape attempt either fails miserably or he wusses out. Which is fine, but there's really no new developments in the story. He's still in the basement, no one knows he's there, and I have no idea how or if he will get out. If you go in expecting to watch two actors chew scenery it's good, but as a thriller it's very uneventful.

I understand The Sopranos was considered great television back in the day. But God drat this poo poo sucks. Every character is a fat Italian-American caricature and it’s directed like absolute poo poo. It’s looks terrible.

I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning for disliking it, but I didn't watch it until like a decade after it went off the air, and struggled to get through it. I probably would have given up had the guy I was dating at the time not continuously pressured me to keep watching it, as he watched me eagerly just waiting for the moment when I would finally fall in love with it. I never did, but I recognize that it's a big part of the reason for the new golden age of television.

I haven't watched it, but I got the impression that the characters not being actually connected to any legitimate Italian heritage was a big joke of the show and that it presents their lifestyles as a kind of pathetic imitation that has no place in the modern world.

I generally don't like mafia poo poo at all. I think it's usually corny and glorifies dumb irredeemable assholes and I'm not gonna go  but I really don't like some of the most beloved mafia films. Sopranos was a hard sell for me. I tried to watch it and was put off by it multiple times within the first couple episodes back when it started gaining some buzz. But around the time HBO streaming became a thing, I decided I'd force myself to see what all the hubub was about, which was also when the show had just wrapped up, so I binged the whole thing. It's easily the best show ever made and entirely warrants it's reputation. Just rewatched it again recently and it's still unbeatable.

In the way of euro-drama TV, I'm digging Kleo - a part-time Stasi agent gets burnt by her controllers and thrown in jail, then the Berlin Wall falls and she's released and goes looking for an explanation and revenge. It's a light quirky comedy that gets a lot of mileage from trashy 80s fashion, awkward grotesque characters and the occasional well timed twist. Surprisingly fun. I enjoyed The Longest Night - an isolated psychiatric prison is put under siege by forces looking to rescue a prisoner, that the authorities are unable to give up. It does seem to just end with about an episode of unresolved plot threads, which I fear may be stretched into a whole other season.

Yeah, that's an ongoing subtext that eventually becomes outright text when they actually fly over to Italy to meet with some mafia people from the old country, and obviously some conflicts ensue. But yeah, it can be a bit tough to watch. I eventually fell off after season 3 or thereabouts, because as entertaining as it was, you're still watching absolutely terrible people do horrible things all the time and that can just get a bit depressing after a while.

The sopranos is absolutely dripping with that early 2000s funk so it might be a little off putting if you don’t get any nostalgia for that era I think Janice is my favorite

I ended up deciding to watch the new Hellraiser last night without going back and watching the originals. While it was visually impressive, it was not a movie for me. I didn't find it particularly scary, but I watched the whole thing with my face all scrunched up. They almost went the route of the kill your gays trope, but only halfway in the end.
