Reacher's hunches were often shown to be wrong in funny or surprising ways, and he's not very charming or good at communicating. It's corny as hell but he's definitely not just "perfect at everything." I liked that he's some weird combo of Sherlock Holmes and like, Paul Bunyan or something, and if he has some superpower it's just being a tank who can shrug off every injury. He seemed pretty flawed in lots of other ways.

Class Warcraft posted:Too Old to Die Young is basically a 30 hour music video about Nicolas Winding Refns unending horniness for absurd violence. I guess I'd just say, watch Only God Forgives and/or The Neon Demon and you will get a pretty good sense of whether his poo poo works for you, and Too Old to Die Young is a very long and weird experience that is very much in line with how his movies work. I think Miles Teller is really well cast in it, because he is extremely off-putting and unlikeable and it actually takes advantage of that

I'm amazed that Big Mouth has managed to inspire a spin-off series (Human Resources), and it seems... I dunno, it seems fine, if you loved Big Mouth I think it'll be worth watching. Mostly I wanted to open up a can of worms because it had a hilarious but potentially problematic background joke. One of the characters, Pete the Logic Rock, has an autographed photo of a big muscly brown bald man that says "Pete, you're MY Rock", signed obviously "Dwayne" although it's scribbled. Is The Rock being gay such an open secret these days that it's just part of the conversation of shows and stuff? I've always heard rumors and as a "blink and you'll miss it" gag I found that hilarious, but then I was like "hmm..."

I think I've just been around some friends who have been 100% convinced that he's gay for a long time so maybe I am too accustomed to jokes like that. Saying someone is "your rock" would be pretty intense platonically though lol

Barry's kind of like American Psycho imo, it's about a super hosed up character but then the horror comes from the culture around him that completely enables and rewards insanity Also it's very funny

I thought The Bear was goofy and cliched and full of really obvious telegraphing of all its character development... also it was great. It built up the kind of energy and tension that let me enjoy all the silliness, I didn't only like the show despite all of that stuff.

Halfway through the first season I find myself just very annoyed by the main villain in Evil (and how comfortable they are having the plot contort itself to allow him to do whatever he wants), but the actual episode mysteries are really fun so far.

holy poo poo... I cannot believe how fun RRR was the entire way through. I was expecting more runtime devoted to action just for the sake of schlocky explosions or whatever, but it felt paced perfectly to me. I'm absolutely interested in reading about critiques of its politics, how it should be interpreted in the modern political climate, etc., but I still think it's worth watching the movie and then thinking about this stuff for yourself. Just absolutely wildly enjoyable from start to finish.

Gonz posted:Oh poo poo, Netflix’s Sandman show just dropped, too. Gonna be a busy weekend. I had forgotten about that. Prey was indeed very enjoyable. I think these movies work the best when they have basically zero "meta" commentary to them. Each one is a Predator movie, and there doesn't really need to be a cohesive Predator universe. They just need to work as a self-contained movie with a badass idea for an alien species. This one would particularly work as a great intro to the franchise, so I'm loving the idea of someone watching Prey and getting inspired to watch 1 and 2.

This reminds me, The Bear (1988) was one of my favorite movies as a kid and now I wanna go back and give it a rewatch. Looking at random clips it seems like they may have pulled off some pretty wild stuff with the trained bears and also it probably just, wasn't as safe as they imagined, but drat those bears are impressive.

I haven't watched it, but I got the impression that the characters not being actually connected to any legitimate Italian heritage was a big joke of the show and that it presents their lifestyles as a kind of pathetic imitation that has no place in the modern world.

Memnaelar posted:What form, exactly? There's no sex, there's virtually no thematic overlap with the first two (the only good) movies, the worldbuilding is flat, you have no characters you can actually like, the writing is tortured (not in a fun hellraiser way), and the entire point of the lament configuration (you actively make the choice to call the cenobites and face the consequences) is replaced by just making it a pokey box of doom that sends innocent bystanders to their doom with a quick jab.
