Moana was loving phenomenal, and was definitely better than Zootopia, which took the Oscar for Best Animated Film.

Alterian posted:I wish Moana came out when I was a kid. I would have loved to have a kids movie with a female protagonist that does actual courageous things and absolutely no love interest subplot. Yeah, I really don't get the complaints that it's the same ol' Disney movie all over again. When was the last time there was a Disney Princess movie without a romantic interest? Hell, when was the last Disney movie (outside of Pixar) that lacked a true villain? There are a couple antagonists in the movie, but no true villain.

A MIRACLE posted:never seen anyone post about it here but Mozart in the Jungle is a fun show to watch It won the Golden Globe for best comedy series. I love the cast, but I watched the first 2 episodes and just could not get into it. Is it one of those shows that don't get good until like episode 8? Or is it just not for me?

nate fisher posted:Amazon? Nothing. I have yet seen an Amazon show I found amazing. While I liked Goliath, it felt like too much like a network television series that was edited to be uncensored. I will be watching season 2 , but it is a pure David Kelley show (which is not too bad of a thing). I really like Catastrophe. And Carrie Fisher was just nominated for an Emmy for her role on the show.

A MIRACLE posted:I wonder how 3rd Rock from the Sun holds up Very well. It had a phenomenal cast, and the premise is a classic fish out of water scenario. It didn't rely on pop culture references, which is the quickest way to ensure that a piece of comedy will not age well (ie The Big Bang Theory).

If you want to watch a story of two narcissistic drunks destroying their lives, the lives of innocent people around them and suffering no consequences for their stupidity, then this is the show for you. How the hell does anybody watch this show and come away thinking, "hey that was pretty good". It was bad, really bad. I really liked it.

david_a posted:I watched the Matrix Trilogy this week (Netflix). If you're wondering if the movies improve if you have a fever, they do not. Yeah, I think your assessments are pretty apt. I also rewatched the first one recently, and while it is still a fun movie, the technology and edgy fashion do date it. It's not the mind-blowing movie I thought it was in high school where I could watch it on repeat over and over. i think I rented it from Blockbuster a good 10 times before my parents finally let me buy it. Reloaded is definitely the weakest of the three. There are some cool fight scenes, and the highway chase is still pretty great, it was too much like the first one. And Revolutions I actually think is pretty great, precisely because they spend so little time in the Matrix. They could have explained things better, I still don't understand why Neo had some powers outside of the Matrix, but it's I think a legit good movie. I never understood all the hate for it. I'm curious to see what they're going to do with this new movie. I think they said it's neither a remake nor a sequel.

If you can tolerate those, then sure. I personally can't tolerate them enough to even have on in the background, so I won't be checking out Disjointed, despite my love of Kathy Bates.

Punkin Spunkin posted:I watched the first episode of this high with a friend and it was just weird. I don't know a lot about Lorre and I never watched Big Bang Theory, but wtf. I think it got one laugh out of me and I was really high, so that should tell you that it mostly provoked anxiety and bafflement Just keep in mind that Chuck Lorre and CBS in general caters to the lowest of the lowest common denominator. I seem to remember one time Lorre ranting in an interview that he didn't understand why Arrested Development gets so much praise, when really it's just like his own sitcoms.

fishtobaskets posted:I'm a little surprised nobody's posted about The Good Place yet. It's light, enjoyable fluff and Ted Danson is great in it. I've been surprised by all the sensible chuckles. Everything Disjointed fucks up horribly from a sitcom perspective, The Good Place gets right. I'm actually rewatching it now as we speak. What started as a cute dismissable show, turned into one of the most brilliant shows of the last decade.

air- posted:Holy shirt The Good Place was worth binging, phenomenal finale and I can't wait for more Yeah, it's one of those shows that seem cute but kind of dumb on concept. It's hard to sell people on it, because you can't really convince people without spoiling anything for them. It's more of one of those shows where somebody has to trust your taste, and take your word on it. I'm excited for season 2.

The new version of the Hulu app on the PS4 is really just absolute crap. Sure, it's pretty, but the UI makes zero sense. And it crashes all the time. And every time it crashes, it doesn't remember where I was in the middle of the episode, and when I reload it, it wants to start at the very start of the episode.

Teenage Fansub posted:Noah Baumbach's Netflix movie, The Meyerowitz Stories, is fantastic. I watched it too. Based on the way it was presented, I thought it would be a series of shorts. And he kind of films it that way, but it's still the same story, and same characters. Great movie. I also watched Gerald's Game, a Netflix original movie based on a Stephen King story about a husband and wife who go to an isolated lake house to try and kink up their sex life. It was, enh. Watchable, but enh.

I'm rewatching Twin Peaks on Netflix for the first time in 12 years, and after having watched the incredible new season. While there are certainly some moments of brilliance in the series, there are definitely some aspects that have aged really poorly. Of course all the silliness the show descended to in the middle of season 2, like Nadine gaining super strength and thinking she is 16, or everything with James. But what really sticks out to me now if how they feel the need to actively use every single cast member in every single episode. Nobody can take a week off. So a lot of the time they just randomly pair townies with Agent Cooper on his stakeouts. Need to take a hike in the woods to investigate some creepy poo poo? Well, why not bring local fisherman Pete Martell. An undercover sting at the local brothel? Well, let's get the gas station owner involved for no apparent reason. Also, they use the exact same 2 backing tracks in every single episode: Laura's theme, or Audrey Horne's theme.

Warm und Fuzzy posted:I put it down halfway into the first episode because it was really starting to feel like a buzzfeed article about, "remember Oingo Boingo and video arcades." I'll pick it up again eventually, but right now it feels a little too inorganic, like a consumer product I'm instructed by the media to enjoy. Yea, there are definitely a lot of winks and nods to the audience to criticisms from the first season.
