Section 9 posted:Just watched Tall Men on Amazon Prime. From the cover it looked like a Slenderman knock-off movie, so I had low expectations, but it had a couple good reviews so why not. At first I thought you were talking about The Tall Man, which is legitimately a great movie.

Sand Monster posted:The entire series is basically just "segregation was bad and you should feel terrible about it" intermixed with fawning over the Red Sox and Yankees. That said, the first half of it is really good. Back half is dogshit, really highlights Burns' stupid biases and blindspots.

business hammocks posted:Ew. It’s shocking how the not-actually-about-slavery narrative was legitimated as the sophisticated, intellectual take on the civil war over the course of the 80s and 90s. In retrospect, there had to have been some Koch money or something behind that. It was even taught to me in (northern) high school. I remember reading a bit about it, and the thing that made the most sense to me was that the people who were most knuckle deep on Civil War stuff scholarship-wise were all pretty much Lost Causers, so naturally they set the agenda without necessarily intending to advance their own bias.

fishtobaskets posted:I would watch the poo poo out of that. Jordan was a titan of my youth, bigger than Tyson, and the Tyson doc was loving amazing. Thing is, I honestly don't think Jordan is that interesting to sustain a 10 hour documentary unless it's just a 10 hour doc of him playing ball.

If it was a solid 10 hour block of Jordan being a shrewd, thorny rear end in a top hat (which he was and is), I'm in. If it tries to present him as someone not contentious in any way, hard pass.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:The emotional climax of that movie is actually extremely good and the framing and scene transitions are something you don't see in any other comic book movies. Which is extra funny considering how much people bag on the MCU for being bland and uninteresting. No comic book movie villain has ever been as inspired as Nick Nolte in Hulk.

DeimosRising posted:Cause that's bull. We had a reason, and we backed exactly the horse that furthered American interests. The US didn't stay out of "stubbornness" and the continued, highly lucrative involvement of US "contractors" and intelligence agencies after official withdrawal is the template for later US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Vietnam wasn't a mistake. US imperialism just lost. Yeah, it tries to put a weird veneer of respectability on a pretty dirty war.

married but discreet posted:Miami Vice (2006) is on Prime. What a strange, strange movie it is. It's got a very distinct look that I can't quite describe, grainy digital fakereal? It doesn't quite look like a movie or a TV show or real life footage, one could say it looks like rear end but it's very deliberately looking like that. Perhaps trying to invent an early 2000s aesthetic like the TV show did for the 80s? The story is downright incomprehensible with everyone mumbling their lines, so don't try to follow that, just look at the moving pictures. Miami Vice was Cocaine: The Series, and diligent researcher that he is, Mann decided to update it in a way that seems to anticipate vibing on Molly at an EDM concert.

I don't know if it directly refers to The Twilight Zone episode, but that should tell you how hoary and obvious the twist is. I don't even think they're that cute about it, though the show is pretty clever.
