All of season 2 of The Lake is up on Amazon Prime. Not a superb show, but definitely the definition of cozy, trying to go for a Schitt's Creek vibe. Starring Jordan Gervaris from Orphan Black, Julia Stiles from Julia Stiles fame, and Terry Chen from The Expanse. It's about a gay man who tries to reconnect with his daughter, who was conceived from a high school relationship, at his family's lakehouse in Ontario that he discovers was left to his step sister after his parents deaths.

Yeah the first season of this was really fun. Basically just a small town comedy with summer camp vibes in the vein of a loooot of Canadian sitcoms, but good stuff. Keen to start the second season after I finish exams.

Renfield was shockingly sloppy. The scene inside the weirdo mob torture chamber struck me as odd because I saw the set up and the execution didn’t even attempt it, because there’s this guy being tortured and they barely acknowledge it Then I saw this deleted scene and it was exactly what it should’ve been so I’m not sure what happened with the movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGG34rA5ang On mobile so go to the second scene

Is it just me or does the voice acting on Netflix movies with English dubs sound weird. Like it always sounds "off" or something?

My favorite part was when Aquafina was looking for clues and she says off screen she’s looking for clues. Or when they go into the gearing up montage for the final battle and she says she needs to gear up for the final battle

I'm like a year late on this, but Pachinko is *so good*. I loved the book, but this is like the perfect adaptation and as a standalone product it's just fantastic. I can't believe it didn't win a boatload of awards.

It's even more fun bad than the first one For real if you're a James Cameron fan at all I feel like it's a must watch, it's like he took all the technical skills learned from each of his movies and crammed them all into this 3.5 hour cartoon, it's wild

Renfield was dumb fun. My partner and I liked it anyway. Nice to see over-the-top action that isn’t self-serious John Wick tactical realism poo poo IMO.

The action in renfield was so bad. It was all shaky cam and quick cuts. Should’ve been more John Wick and less Fox action series

For me Renfield was worth it just for Hoult and Cage’s performances but it’s clearly not half as good as it could have been.

The Way of Water is loving terrible and it’s really only pretty if there aren’t any actual humans onscreen. Every time it had some kind of composited shot with real actors it looked like a mid-tier video game. There’s way better ways to spend 3.5 hours of your time.

The length of Avatar 2 is by far the worst part. That final battle + aftermath is interminable. I liked it better than the first one but that’s not a great feat. I begrudgingly will admit some aspects of it are OK but that’s mainly an indictment of other movies. “Being able to follow the action” shouldn’t be the drat exception.

There is a version of The Idol with more interesting leads that could be good but it’s not this one.

Both Idol episodes have followed the structure of 'mildly interesting management team drama that goes on a little too long' for the first half and then 'the weeknd and the depp daughter in the shittiest music video you've ever seen that never ends' for the second half

The kind of "veep but if she's a pop star" could be an interesting show. The rest of the show is completely unwatchable. Way worse than anything in Euphoria.

Overall, I enjoyed Way of Water, warts and all, with the single glaring exception being the roided out literal 14 year old running around in a diaper and gasmask for the majority of the film (this is not an insult to the actor, I'm sure it was a grueling process, but it was a terrible creative decision).
