Highly recommend Jean Claude Van Johnson on Amazon and Future Man on Hulu. The first episode of Future Man isn't great but it hits its stride in episode 2 and stays pretty hilarious. JCVJ is great from the jump and it's a pretty quick watch to boot.

Man I hate to say it, but you're not wrong. I had this feeling while watching season 4, and I think so much time passes between seasons that I didn't catch onto it before. Also I thought Adrian Brody was hilariously terrible this season.

its like the writers have an episode outline that is like, "In the first three episodes, bad things happen, on the third episode we will hint at a betrayal, on the fourth episode we will have the betrayal, on the sixth episode we will reveal that the betrayal was part of the plan and on the seventh episode we will reveal that EVERYTHING was part of the secret off screen plan the entire time, booya good writing pals!" *everyone high fives and puts on their news boy caps*

Holy poo poo the young Johnny Depp CGI monstrosity from the recent Pirates movie is the worst I've seen yet. Waaaaay worse than the stuff in Star Wars. Anyway it's on Netflix now, but it's pretty much complete poo poo outside of a few scenes.

The first movie was great, and every single sequel has been worse than the last. By a lot.

2 needed an hour cut, and it got worse from there.

I finished Travelers season 2 and I think it's as good as the first. I find I enjoy it more when I treat it like Looper: the story makes sense enough if you take it by it's own rules rather than how you think time travel should actually work. It's a show about consequences, but the blowback from following the Grand Plan is pretty loving severe at times. Also, the show doesn't try to maintain a status quo: things happen, storylines begin and end, and the world changes drastically in the present and future.

Goon is a legit good hockey movie, and Seann William Scott is just so charming as a slightly-slow scrappy rear end in a top hat.

Goon also does a great job of establishing stakes and conflict without making any of the opposing characters villainous, which more sports movies should do because sports are a construct where people who like and respect each other can dedicate themselves to defeating one another without compromising that connection.

I know that there are stories of people binging through entire shows on weekends but that never really happened to me. After watching the first episode of Patriot, i binged the entire thing that day, holy poo poo, I fuckin' love this show. It's like a really dark comedy spy thriller mixed in with parts Jackie Brown.

Save yourself the waste of time. Watched the sequel last night. Felt unnecessary; and Wyatt Russell was twigging me out because he kept making me think of his dad’s role in The Thing. It just felt like a retread of the first one, all the characters making the same kind of jokes they made in the original.

Funny story, I watched Goon on an international flight. It was like a ‘edited for tv’ version. LaFlamme’s drug-use and manwhoring was cut out so he just seemed depressed, the Russian brothers practically didn’t exist, and Jay Baruchel showed up considerably less than in the non-edited version.

In the mood for a bad but brutal Vince Vaughan flick? Brawl in Cell Block 99 is on Amazon Prime and fits the bill.

The plot was pretty silly with lots of holes and bad decisions but the fight scenes, which weren't great, were entertaining enough even with really bad effects Bradley stomping on heads and the final shot especially...
almost papier-mâché quality
.

Vince was good enough- I liked him in this more than anything I've seen him in recently, but Don Johnson.... poor ol' Don needed a much larger role to ham it up. Jennifer Carpenter was just there.

Overall the film felt both rushed and way too slow at the same time; not sure how they managed that.

Now that I've typed all this I can't really say I recommend it unless you're just bored to tears as I was.

Edit:
VVVV I hadn't thought of the grindhouse homage thing and that makes sense though it doesn't change my overall opinion. Maybe if there were more of those scenes I would have caught on. I think there were only 3 where I noticed and they just felt so jarring. I really wanted more fights from the get go so that may be a source of my disappointment with it overall

I enjoyed it a lot more than you seemed to, I can give it a full endorsement. It's extremely entertaining from start to finish and I thought it moved at a great pace. And Vaughn is great in it, he's huge and the "action" scenes are extremely brutal and fit his talents perfectly. Having seen it, I really can't think of any other working actor that I'd rather have seen in the role.

The effects are purposely artificial looking as a nod to exploitation/grindhouse films that the entire movie is an homage to.

The dudes start using time travel and then cause a paradox in which there are dopplegangers of themselves walking around getting up to god knows what, compounding the paradox even further, while they themselves start to deteriorate cognitively.
