The Night Comes for Us is an all time fav and I am happy that Netflix is giving him money to make these crazy, violent films. I've only gotten around to seeing part of it before being interrupted today, but it had a weird yet intriguing mix of Jackie Chan-style action comedy and their trademark hyperviolence.

The Big 4 IMDb summary, and also the literal exact plot of The Night Comes For Us posted:Tells the story of an elite assassin that is targeted by murderous gangsters after sparing a girl's life during a massacre. soooo Timo remade The Night Comes For Us as a comedy? I'm with it

City Slickers on Netflix is much more serious than I remember. Three middle aged guys go on vacation at a working ranch to drive a herd of cattle to Colorado and find themselves somewhere along the way. It's like a Hallmark movie for guys, with a few jokes. I liked it though; as on the nose as it is, Billy Crystal keeps it watchable. As I get older, a lot of movies are starting to become relevant to my life in a way they weren't when I was 7, 15, 20, etc. It's obviously to be expected, but it's interesting to experience. The Quick and the Dead, also on Netflix, is still as awesome as it was when I was 7, 15, and 20. A gunslinger with a mysterious past rides into a dilapidated town and enters a quick draw contest--but there's more than prize money on her mind. Somehow I had forgotten it was directed by Sam Raimi. If you haven't seen it, cancel your plans, call out sick, get a divorce, stay in and watch it, whether or not you like westerns. Netflix and the other streaming services still have a lot of great movies available, they just don't put them on the front page.

I love the Quick and the Dead, it has an insane cast; some great character actors too, and some yet to be big actors like Russel Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio, and it was all Sharon Stone's doing, she was a producer: quote:"“I had so much resistance on that movie. I wanted Leo DiCaprio: ‘Pay him out of your own money.’ I wanted Russell Crowe: ‘Why do you want this guy who has only played a skinhead before?’ I wanted Sam Raimi to direct: ‘Sharon, why do you always shoot yourself in the foot?’ They banned me from the studio for eight years after that,” she said."

If you like food competition shows, Amazon's Freevee has America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation. There is nothing original about it in any way whatsoever, Top Chef is the pinnacle of this genre, and HBO's The Big Brunch was better, but ATK: TNG is perfectly adequate to watch.

If you like home makeover shows and drag, HBO max now has Trixie Motel, which was previously exclusively on Discovery+. Trixie Mattel, alum of RuPaul's Drag Race season 7, and winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 3, bought a motel in Palm Springs and brought in various celebrity friends like Nicole Beyer, Orville Peck, and Lisa Vanderpump to assist with renovating each room into very kitschy themes. It's fun.

I was so loving mad at The Old Man. I didn't want a character study, I wanted Jeff Bridges doing Jason Bourne stuff.

Wow, I didn't realize Big Brunch was a competition show, I figured it was like one of those "celebrities sit around and talk and eat" things.

Nope, it's a group of 10 or so chefs who compete each week cooking various brunch themed challenges. One might be a hair of the dog challenge, another like a high end cuisine brunch. Dan Levy and two food journalists are the head judges, with an occasional guest judge.

Black Adam is on HBO Max now. It's, uh, real bad. It feels like The Rock wrote it.

Glottis posted:Black Adam is on HBO Max now. It's, uh, real bad. It feels like The Rock wrote it. That comment paints the appropriate picture for sure. The character is presented right off the bat as being almost invulnerable other than one weakness that really never gets exploited ever again. Despite repeated comments regarding how everything has changed since his time, he has a near-perfect understanding of idiomatic language, because the writers didn't bother to find a way to differentiate his speech. The ending is completely non-sensical, as the time-criticality that leads to character sacrifice ... is then undermined and retroactively makes the sacrifice idiotic. Yeah, it was real bad.

Plot aside I don't expect to ever be emotionally moved or intellectually provoked by a super hero film...is it at least like an entertaining spectacle with fun action scenes?

Punkin Spunkin posted:Plot aside I don't expect to ever be emotionally moved or intellectually provoked by a super hero film...is it at least like an entertaining spectacle with fun action scenes? It's a lot of super people slamming each other into walls, where you aren't really sure if they're all invincible or not. It's very hard to care about any of the stakes at any point. I didn't find the action to be satisfying 80% of the time. It's probably the worst superhero movie I've seen in quite a while. If you think it's cool when super people catch a bullet or missile or whatever, then this is the movie for you! It happens like 20 times.

Thanks to whoever recommended Emily the Criminal. Odd way to deal with student loans but at least it keeps the conversation alive, even if the supreme court is going to nix Biden's suggestion.

I thought Emily was good except for Theo Rossi’s accent good lord. Don’t think the movie would have lost anything by just letting him speak in his normal voice.

It is time for the annual Mythic Quest flashback episode and like the other two it was great. The girl who plays the younger Poppy is so good that if you told me it really was Charlotte Nicdao playing the younger version of Poppy via some computer trick I would believe you. The younger actress perfected Poppy’s mannerism and had her look down, plus she sounded so much like Poppy that at first I thought it was dubbed.

Black Adam is a pretty cool character. The Rock is very funny. Black Adam manages to be neither It's basically a bad version of Oscar Isaac's moon knight show, which was itself a bad version of a good character

I thought the first half was kinda crazy but the last half was predictable and dumb. Falling in love with the crime ring leader with a heart of gold is going to end with his tragic death, obviously.

The rest of this relatively lackluster series is worth watching for the annua serious episodes. Young Poppy was very good.
