Finished Godless on Netflix the other day and it was... OK. I felt it was let down by the final gunfight - kind of a disappointing mess of action cliches. I guess everything can’t be Unforgiven but it really took me out of it; I think a modern series needs to be a bit more grounded to rise to the top. The cast being primarily female was refreshing for a Western. Finished up Ash vs Evil Dead yesterday after being stalled for months halfway though season 2. The last two episodes were worth it but I probably won’t bother watching season 3 when it hits Netflix. Working on finishing Black Mirror S4 now after also abandoning it for a while (trying to wrap up things before I switch to another service for a while) and I really, really hate episode 3. The tech hook is lame nonsense and the main character is utterly unsympathetic. Not sure I’m going to bother with the rest of it after that; the only episode I’ve really heard mentioned in this season was the first one. Has this show run its course at this point?

veni veni veni posted:Yeah Godless was pretty mediocre imo. I did like some of the characters and there were moments I thought worked well (particularly Whitey’s unglamorous demise) but overall... do better next time.

Queen Combat posted:Hang the DJ (episode 4, series 4) is one of my favorites, and while I didn't like the tech hook of metalhead (s4e5), I REALLY liked the execution. I still like black mirror despite a few duds. San Junipero, White Bear are the two best episodes of TV for me in their respective years. Does Hulu have Fargo S3 and Legion S2 yet?

Shudder app works perfectly fine on my Apple TV. Even the Joe Bob Briggs stream was fine. The only recent problems I’ve ever had with streaming have been with HBO Now.

Timby posted:I feel like Hulu has steadily gotten better than Netflix, but I will fully admit I'm very cool or cold on most of the so-called "Netflix Originals." Honestly, the only reason I keep Netflix is because they have Cheers, Frasier and the Star Treks commercial-free; their movie library is garbage nowadays.

You guys need to specify what device you’re using. Netflix & Shudder seem comparable on an Apple TV, Hulu is maybe a bit worse, HBO Now is terrible.

Frog Act posted:I enjoyed westworld and it's 70s protocg a ton, I'm really looking forward to Logans Run and Soylent Green, both of which I've never seen Nimoy is a creepy new age guru dude that’s totally different than Spock. Jeff Goldblum is at the peak of his skittish neuroticism and Veronica Cartwright puts in another epic freak out performance. Keep an eye out for Kevin McCarthy’s (star of the ‘56 version) cameo too! david_a fucked around with this message at 02:55 on Nov 4, 2018 |

I thought the first half of King Fury was amusing but the last half drags too much. Making it even shorter and more condensed would have probably improved it. There was some horrible talk about making it into a full-length Hollywood movie but surely that idea has di- ”Wikipedia” posted:In February 2018, Michael Fassbender and Arnold Schwarzenegger were confirmed to star alongside Hasselhoff in the upcoming film.

Queen Combat posted:Snark aside, I really, really loved San Junipero. More so after initially thinking it had a good ending, but hitting the fridge horror of, "Oh no, wait. That's bad," about a day later. Black Mirror is a show I have to be a bit careful about when I watch because the “good” episodes make you feel pretty horrible afterwards.

Enos Cabell posted:Speaking of Seth MacFarlane on Hulu, I'm not really a fan but caught a bit of The Orville after a football game and thought it was decent. I'm about halfway through s1 now and am really enjoying this. If you really wanted a TNG Season 8, here you go. McFarlane really seems like a genuine fan.

Take advantage of how easy it is to cancel/restart Netflix. They’ll keep your watch list and everything. I hop around from one streaming service to the next because I figure I shouldn’t be watching so much that I need multiple ones at a time anyway.

nate fisher posted:(The Shield) My only complaint is that awful Kid Rock song in the first episode made it feel so dated, but that is my fault since I am watching it 17 years later. Glenn Close, Forest Whitaker, Laura Harring, Franka Potente, Laurie Holden... The guest stars really were top notch on that show. When it ended I was sad I wouldn’t get to see the continuing adventures of Dutch & Claudette.

Class Warcraft posted:Nightcrawler is worth the price of admission. I’m not really equipped with the right vocabulary to describe it but it’s one of the most bonkers and engrossing movies I’ve seen in years The fact that there exists, much like Scarface, people who think he’s some kind of a role model is amazing and a pretty damning indictment of our species

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I have such mixed feelings about that movie. It came out when I was in college in the late '90s and even then, I wanted to love it, but it features the worst, most obnoxious performance from a kid actor ever. But otherwise, it's loving rad, and I still love the soundtrack by the Red Elvises, a real band I've seen live twice. (They also appear in the movie.) We watched it at a work movie night and I would get random calls days later from a coworker going MAAH! and hanging up

Wiggles Von Huggins posted:i just finished, and i have to disagree. all 2.5 hours seemed to be just in the service of christian good/evil symbolism. the first half was fine and then i just got super bored. im pretty mad at all these recs i got from horror fans. it was barely a horror movie. more of a who dunnit but with zombies occasionally. usually i like the over long korean horror hybrid type films ive seen. but this one just wasnt worth it.
