its fine to watch a show and then complain, what's wierd was your reaction this is all very stupid now so im not going to engage with you anymore, and instead return to discussing how stunningly bad this season was. it's very funny how bad it ended up being.

Were you pissed as hell while watching Death Wish 3 because it wasn't Die Hard as well? you should've just chillaxed and enjoyed an elderly Charles Bronson mindlessly mowing down stereotypical 80s street punks.

Death Wish 3 was much, much better than night country. Charles Bronson would have shot every single named character in the show. Edit: and all the characters without names would cheer.

The danger lab is hidden in the basement of the first lab. It is thus deeper and darker. Much like night country.

Is Death Wish 3 the one where the old dude pulls a fuckin MG42 out of his closet and then Bronson point-blank blasts the main bad guy with a bazooka at the end lmao

Legit curious about where Issa Lopez’s career goes from here. As mentioned previously, critics seems to like TD4 but audiences mostly hate-watched it through to the end. MAX doesn’t care whether you liked it or not as long as it got eyes so I’m guessing she gets a DC movie next since Marvel is probably out of the question.

Brain Curry posted:It has a machine gun. https://youtu.be/H1Bk1IsaWm0 Yeah that’s the one. That’s the second machine gun though. There’s an earlier scene where the elderly vet tries to use another one but it’s too much for him to handle. Lol forever at the bazooka scene though. Never gets old. E: I looked it up. The old guy uses an MG42, Bronson uses a Browning M1919. BAGS FLY AT NOON fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Feb 20, 2024 |

Sign me up for the second season of Night Country to feature the Ghostbusters original DVD during the musical montage, looping on "Bustin makes me feel good". And then later a slow morose piano version of Who Ya Gonna Call.

Have you motherfuckers ever heard of a thing called network television? this poo poo is high art in comparison Attaching it to TD is what rubs everyone the wrong way. It’s like putting Young Sheldon into the Wire.

Chicken Butt posted:Instead of network TV, a better comparison would be with the other recent expensive-looking cable-channel Arctic noir, “A Murder at the End of the World”. It was … also not very good, but still miles better than Night Country. Now that's two shows I've learned about that seem pretty good thanks to Night Country related threads. That's makes Night Country an overall positive. The fact that they both star Clive Owen is really fuckin weird though.

If the central thesis of the haters is that season 1 of this show is some sort of elevated high art and not in the same tier of trash TV shot well that this season is then I really don't know what to say. Literally every line of dialogue a female character has that first season sounds like it was written by a 13 year old boy lmao

Watched an episode of this with my partner, I think ep2 and had to nope out Jodie Foster and a rookie cop were on gym bleachers looking at photos and the back and forth "hard boiled detective" dialogue while they're trying to deduce things about the crime made me laugh and snort several times to the point where I could recognize I was being disruptive and getting the side eye Sorry! It was bad!

TheAgent posted:honestly they could have just done a sharper focus on fred ward/colin farrell's relationship and cut just about everything else there are many issues with Season 2, but the one that kind of sticks out to me the most is the weird gravitas around the casino gangsters. I recall Vince Vaughn being hyped up as being the next big serious actor, hes looking to take his career to a new level, etc. It didnt pan out. I feel like Season 2 could easily be reworked into a violent tragedy/farce thing with a focus on over the top performances, but that would undermine the great deal of WHY of Season 2 has to exist in a big hurry after Season 1 in the first place.
