OT: Let's talk about movies and TV - Part XXIII

[Runner77]

Just another day at the office for James, another 90 k.+

Yup.

Went into the Final question with $55,695 vs. $9,600 and $2,600 for his opponents.

He bet $35,117 and won a total of $90,812 for the episode.

His 16-day total now at: $1,225,987.

He's a robot.
or
A reptilian.
or
Another alien race.

(well maybe I should start stocking up and memorize stuff so I can win a bit of money on the side too)

So..... when can we start talking about End Game?

Sandviper has already led the charge a few pages ago ...

Sorry to interrupt the Jeopardy and GoT thread, but early buzz is out on Endgame and the early consensus is it is epic.

I see the movie Saturday, so I have to refrain from going to any entertainment related websites.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

My fantasy was shouting about what happened when I got out and saw all those people waiting to go in. But I decided I still treasure my life.

 

[sandviper]

I will see it tomorrow but I’ll talk minimally about it until maybe next weekend when more see the movie.

I’ll just post who died and how

Somebody failed evolutionary biology

Reptilian humanoid - Wikipedia



I have an uncle who really believes that thing (and other weird stuff too)

Don't forget to tell people about the whale and the Star Trek cameo.

I know the myth and anybody who knows rudimentary evolutionary biology knows this is just ridiculous.

Reptiles are cold blooded and do not move a lot. One key component of intellectual evolution is movement and interaction.

It's a square peg trying to be fit into a triangle hole.

Your friend should read some science instead of David Icke and other charlatans of his ilk.

He probably reads some weird stuff from other doubtful sources. Anyhow, since it's movie stuff, I can tell a small story.

At one dinner, the same he told us about reptilians, he said that the Zombie apocalypse would soon come, like before 2020. He told that the virus would come from a beauty product that is meant to make people younger (or look younger). But there would be problems and they would actually die (and become zombies)

While he was telling his story, I thought.. isn't that the story of Resident Evil :thinking:

Yeah he took it from the RE movies.

More plausible scenarios were in Last of Us with the actual corticep fungus and 28 Days (or the Palahniuk novel Rant) which were based on rabies.

Something that knocks off the frontal cortex would have similar effects, or something that excites the amygdala.

Liking "Tin Star" so far. It's been on my to-watch list for too long, but I'm glad I finally gave it a try.

Think Fargo season 1 vibe here. To those that know what I'm talking about, this is pretty rare in TV.

The "big three" here all do a great job.




P.S. It's a terrible trailer by the way, that does a bad job at capturing the spirit of the series.

P.P.S. Oh, and the soundtrack really stands out. It's so "psycho" and unnerving.

Wow the first episode started with a bang . Thanks for the recommendation.

We already know the ending of Endgame ...

 

[LaP]

Oh, boy, are you in for a treat!

I can probably count on fingers of one hand the amount of TV series that feature dialogues as vibrant and clever as Justified does. The series is a classic everyone has to watch IMO.


Trying Amazon Prime is very cheap for QC residents. But there's isn't a free trial like for the rest of Canadians. After that, the service is by far the cheapest when compared to other streaming platforms, costing around $6.50 per month when paid annually.

With prime you also get 2 days shipping, Twitch Prime and the free games/dlc coming with it every month and also the basic package of Amazon Music. It's a good deal imo specially if you buy on Amazon a lot.

You are assuming the reptiles, which control our world as we know it, were participating in our “evolutionary biology”? How quaint...
Big HP Lovecraft fan here. Couldn’t help myself LOL!

Champ James got none of the daily doubles in today's Jeopardy.

He entered the Final Question with only $29,600 vs. $4600 and $1,600 for his opponents.

He bet $20,000, taking his episode total to $49,600.

His 17-day grand total now stands at $1,275,587.

His wife was in the audience for the first time.

He was lucky his opponents sucked, he was beatable today.

Alright the plan for Sunday is for my Scoobee Doo gang to go see Avengers Endgame and then come home, eat some chicken wings and watch Game of Thrones. I believe I'm gonna fed up with epic battles and deaths for a long time after this.

 

[Runner77]

If a stronger opponent had been successful on the two daily doubles in the Double Jeopardy round, this would have been the end all right.

Anybody got the Criterion channel? I've been watching a film a day since the 8 of April.

Anybody got the Criterion channel? I've been watching a film a day since the 8 of April.

Didn't even realize it had launched.

Looked it up and it sounds a lot like the Turner classic movies channel:

The Criterion Channel, a new streaming service focused on classic films, has launched in Canada. The service offers a constantly refreshed catalogue of older films from both major and indie studios, such as Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM), Lionsgate, Oscilloscope, Cinema Guild and Strand Releasing. ...

A 14-day free trial is available, with a monthly subscription costing $10.99 USD ($14.63 CAD) and an annual membership priced at $99.99 USD ($133.10 CAD).

MobileSyrup.com: The Criterion Channel launches in Canada, streams more than 1000 classic films

Criterion is entering a crowded field that's about to get even more crowded. A decade late and several dollars short.

It's not really competing with any other services. No other film streaming service has répertoire films and Criterion does restauration of old films with special features like shorts films, interviews, analysis, film history documentaries and auteur commentary. It's really a thing of its own, as either you want it or not : I don't see someone wavers between prime video and Criterion.

Also they used to lend their catalog to film struck - the turner classic channel - wich closed last year and they got most of their clients.

So, I saw Endgame this evening. Solid flick and I thought a satisfying payoff to 22 movies. Personally liked Infinity War more, but for different reasons.

Ending was incredible though. Getting both Batman and Superman to show up was cool
