loving kenobi just two episodes in

the boys is back for season three so i’ll start that this week

finished 1883 and meh…the sequel to that is 1932 but unsure of release date

New season of stranger things is way more violent and dark than previous ones, which I don’t mind. I would question letting kids watch it though.

Yep, wife stopped watching after the first episode, lol.

I'm getting sick of it. It's the same story just retold every season.

I love Star Wars. Mandalorian was great. Boba fett entertaining….but obi kenobi is straight trash. I so wanted it to be good but You could drive a truck through the plot holes. Never been so disappointed in a series.

i didn’t dislike kenobi…what it did for me is only reinforce the fact that vader needs to happen…it’s a compelling story that can include so many characters and subplots.

and i’d prefer a series rather than a film.

Saw Lightyear with the family today. Pretty solid and a little nostalgic because of Toy Story connection. 8/10

 

[heelmanwilm]

Top gun was awesome. Saw it in an imax. Highly recommend.

 

[blazers]

“Don’t look up”.
Astronomers discover impending apocalyptic event but it becomes politicized and makes it difficult to do anything about it or prepare for it. Political satire at its best. And both cons and libs get ridiculed. Hilarious and dark.

 

[dadika13]

White Lotus is weird and there isn't enough of Daddario and Sydney Sweeney nudity. Wasting 4 of the best tits on earth.

Just watched my octopus teacher for the second time. I can’t say enough how incredible it is. Man befriends an octopus and visits her every day for a year. Even if you don’t like nature documentaries you’ll like this. You’ll never look at octopi the same again.

There's a funny thing on this and The Boys (prime). If you haven't seen season three, maybe skip this.

Spoiler: kinda spoils part of Season 3

https://news.yahoo.com/news/boys-cast-explain-bizarre-influence-204108863.html :
""No spoilers for the season, but the thing about My Octopus Teacher when I watched it… I watched that whole thing and the whole time I'm like, 'Is he gonna f--- that octopus?!'" Kripke says, immediately breaking into laughter. "And then in the writer's room, we just kept laughing about that documentary. And it's a great documentary… but it's weirdly sexual.""

The documentary was great, and yeah, no more eating octopus for me.

@blazers the boys is phenomenal…it’s totally my wheelhouse at this point…every freaking character has been great in every season.

Right! I keep fearing there is going to be a drop-off from season 1, but they've been awesome

Yes this past season was the best imo. The dude from supernatural made a great captain america

 

[WhatTheHeel?]

I know this is a theater movie but I couldn't find that thread and didn't want to start a new one. My childhood nerd is excited to see what looks like a good D&D movie (finally!)

keep sweet: pray and obey

pretty much how it sounds, creepy af.

Yea it’s creepy af for sure. Never underestimate peoples ability to reject reason and common sense in favor of religious idolatry. See it every day.

 

[heelmanwilm]

Just started “black bird” about a prisoner recruited to befriend a serial killer behind bars to get info. Very good. I think it’s ray liottas last gig as well.

 

[tarheel0910]

Watched The Gray Man on Netflix. Decent enough spy movie with some big names attached to it. Solid 6/10.

i didn’t even know the depth of this…obviously i was aware of the religion and the way of life, but jfc there are a lot layers.

So a documentary about Oompa Loompas' relationship with Willy Wonka?

 

[dadika13]

I really hope Nolan doesn't screw this one up. It's a great story and a great cast.

I'm more interested in Blonde. Not because of the story, but because we get to see some Ana de Armas sans clothes.

Amen. That movie she did with Ben Affleck she’s basically just naked getting banged all movie. 5 stars.

 

[jbradsh1]

The Old Man on FX was very solid. Reading the book now and it’s even better

This one got a NC-17 rating, so that should mean good things.

help me out, i have only seen four episodes of game of thrones…do i need to watch that series before house of the dragon?

I haven't watched House of Dragon because of how bad they screwed up GofT at the end. The way they ended most of the character arcs was horrible. It completely turned me off to anything GofT related.

now i don’t even want to try finishing it…i’m also one of few that felt the sopranos ending was appropriate.

The Sopranos ending was probably a top 5 worst ending in TV history, but it didn't have an impact on the character's story or the show itself. So, it didn't hurt the overall story. GofT basically just decided to shit on the characters arcs and added some stuff that didn't match the rest of the series.

If you want to see a great show with a great ending, watch Six Feet Under. Probably the best ending to a show that I've ever seen. @heelmanwilm can back me on that one.

i can’t imagine chase ending it any other way considering the clues leading up to the final scene.

True. Vastly underrated show and the ending was one of the best episodes of any show I’ve seen.

I would have flashed forward much like “six feet under” and show meadow as the boss exacting revenge on those resp for Tony’s death while dealing with drama from Tony’s surviving crew. Show Tony’s wife as a brutal real estate tycoon, the kid as a heroin addict

Def gonna check this out

Lol. I'd be lying if I said I'm not gonna watch it. But, it will take a moment to get used to seeing Harry Potter as Weird Al and Dwight as his manager.

 

[heelmanwilm]

Just finished “sandman”. The god of dreams has to go in search of his power. I thought it would be teeny bopper but not so. Not bad.

 

[heelmanwilm]

He actually looks very similar to weird al

So there a huge amount of buzz about a movie called “the whale” starring, of all people, brandan fraser. At its premiere at a festival in Venice people were openly sobbing at the end and gave a 6 min standing ovation. They’re saying Fraser is a shoe in for an Oscar in portraying an obese man trying to reconnect with his daughter. Many of the critics there saying it’s the best movie they’ve ever seen. Sounds interesting.
