So, talk to me a little about The Killing and Happy Valley. I'm about 10 episodes into S1 of The Killing and I like it though I find the political poo poo to be boring. I like the cast just fine, I just hope it pays off big in some way down the line. Do the later seasons improve or drop in quality? I've only seen the first 2 episodes of Happy Valley and I quite like it. In this thread or another I saw a pretty strong positive non-spoiler reaction to the end of S1 so I guess that's a good sign. I think it was something like "FUuuuuuuuUUUUUUCK" e: at least I hope that was a positive isaboo fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jun 8, 2016 |

Slandible posted:Is Prison Break worth sticking all the way through? First season was good, but it's gone far south after starting season three. It's dumb but it's a fun kind of dumb. Plus you may want to finish to get prepared for the revival that will air sometime in 2017 I think.

Deliverance fun fact: Billy Redden, the actor that played Lonnie the Banjo Kid, works at the WalMart in Clayton, GA. I often pass through there on my way to go backpacking and have stopped at the store hoping to meet him. I haven't had any luck with that, but one of my hiking buddies has and said Billy is very nice and willing to sign autographs and answer questions about his experiences on the set. From what I've read he has no idea how to play the banjo, and the scenes with him "playing" the banjo were actually done with a real banjo player reaching around from behind Redden to play the instrument.

Oh drat, I'm definitely going to watch I'm Not There. I'm completely, totally, 10000% in love with Cate Blanchett and I especially like it when she plays notable figures.... Hepburn, Queen Elizabeth, etc so I'm sure I'll love her take on Dylan.

Really digging Hulu's original series Chance with Hugh Laurie. Ethan Suplee does really good work given the right material and he fits well here, and it's nice to see Paul Adelstein (Agent Kellerman from Prison Break) again. That dude plays a smarmy rear end in a top hat very well. Like another poster said, go into it blind and don't expect anything like House. The 3rd season of the Netflix original The Fall starts at 12:01AM Saturday, and even though I think it's a bit weak for the serial killer genre I do quite enjoy looking at Gillian Anderson. isaboo fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Oct 28, 2016 |

Angel Heart has been a favorite of mine since I saw it in the theater in '87 and it does indeed kick rear end. My favorite experience about that film was when one night at Blockbuster I convinced one of my super duper exceedingly evangelical Christian friends (I've been an atheist all my life) that it was a rom-com and that she would love it. She flipped out at the first sight of Louis Cypher and didn't speak to me for a month. She still brings it up almost 30 years later but laughs about it now. Yes I So yeah, watch that poo poo. Lisa Bonet so hot. Seriously though, it is a really good film and Mickey Rourke is exceptional. In my English class in college I brought up the fan motif that is prevalent throughout the film and we all spent a couple of days talking about it. I'm totally going to read that 11000 word essay about it that someone linked earlier in the thread. isaboo fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Oct 31, 2016 |

precision posted:I met a lot of SHARPS and Actual Racist Skinheads in the 90s and seriously "red laces, black boots" just meant you were racist. Red and white laces for Boneheads, Purple laces for gay SHARPS, black laces for regular "I'm not racist" SHARPs, green laces for "I'm really into the environment" SHARPs, etc. I think yellow was meant to signify general hatred in the hardcore racist skinhead crowd (i.e. The Dentists, The Ventz, White Boss, Skrewdriver) And let's not even get started on the color of suspenders. I hated having to deal with those shitheads- I was a bouncer for many years at some pretty gnarly venues.

Just finished Green Room. The wife and I loved it... she played some Minor Threat after we were done watching it, the crazy bitch. Jeremy Saulnier is 2 for 2 in my book after this and Blue Ruin- can't wait to see what he does next. Gonna miss seeing what Anton Yelchin would have become. I really took notice of him in Alpha Dog along with Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, and loving Justin Timberlake. Goddamn I love that movie. Hell, even Odd Thomas (still on Netflix afaik) was watchable thanks to Anton... and after smoking a couple of bowls. The CG and voiceover sucked though. isaboo fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Nov 27, 2016 |

I enjoyed Ben Foster in Pandorum and he is in the new Inferno flick with Tom Hanks so at least he's in a big title though the reviews haven't been great and I haven't seen it anyway. Bully and Hell or High Water look cool, gonna give those a look.

Just binged through The OA which premiered on Netflix today. Really gripping in some parts but off the wall silly in others and I can see the ending pissing lots of people off. Go into it blind i guess. Not sure yet if i hated the whole of it overall but it certainly was a thing.

Inspector Hound posted:I want to like The OA but i can't shake the feeling it was written by someone whose kid is an iredeemable piece of poo poo I thought the first episode was really good but about around episode 4 it really started to weaken and just got more and more corny from there. There's very little development for a couple of what should be more important characters and some really unnecessary scenes The second scientist researching the NDEs. Wtf?! Came out of nowhere and added nothing. I watched it through to the end because I'm a glutton for punishment and I can't help but feel a really good premise was just totally wasted and the ending was just bleh, really? . isaboo fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Dec 17, 2016 |

After initially barely making it through the first episode and not really caring to see any more, I gave Travelers another chance and I really like it. Just watched the episode featuring the team's primary mission and was surprised to see a pretty exciting concept there. All of the team members are drat cool but Marcy and Trevor are the best. It's no Continuum or 12 Monkeys but I'm enjoying it overall.

ChickenMedium posted:Encino Man holds up because it's not a Pauly Shore movie, he's just in it. Go down a Brendan Fraser or Sean Astin rabbit hole instead. Brendan Fraser has had such a frustrating (for me) career. I liked The Mummy and he was great in Gods And Monsters and The Quiet American. Monkeybone , Bedazzled (Elizabeth Hurley  ) and Blast From the Past were fun but everything else he has done has just been kinda bleh.

^^ that scene was the one that made my wife and I decide we needed to binge Patriot and with 3 episodes left we've loved every second so far. The entire cast is good but Kurtwood Smith is just killing it, and John's songs are brilliant Also the episode in which John puts the guy in the backpack was gold

So Okja is directed by Joon-ho Bong and stars the bewilderingly and oddly attractive Tilda Swinton?! Sign me up right the gently caress now. Gonna watch the hell out of this one. My wife does not understand my attraction to Swinton but goddamn I have been in love with her since The Beach and of course Michael Clayton.

Netflix related- does anyone else absolutely love The Finder? This is one of those cancelled shows like Terriers that deserved another season at least imo. I really like Geoff Stults and of course Michael Clarke Duncan (RIP) and it's got just the right amount of quirky. Much like Stults' other cancelled-too-soon show Enlisted. Goddammit stop cancelling shows like this!

Ha, I've been meaning to ask you fuckers about The Stanford Prison Experiment. Definitely gonna watch that one if it has your endorsement. As for Patriot, Michael Dorman is absolutely perfect as "sad man in a suit". Dude can sing pretty well too. He's also up there as one of the best to deliver a simple "gently caress.", which he does quite a lot. Also, Cool Rick owns. Goddamn what a fantastic show. If any of you haven't seen it, binge that poo poo posthaste. Also the theme song introduced me to Vashti Bunyan's music. Love it. isaboo fucked around with this message at 04:04 on Jul 9, 2017 |

I finished Goliath last night and really dug it all. While I didn't care much for the Patti character at first, she really grew on me and the actress really nailed the role. Looking forward to season 2... there will be another, right? With this one and Patriot Amazon is really starting to compete with Netflix for good original content. Working my way through Bosch season 1 now.
