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

[Deebs]

Just got around to watch Cobra Kai (easier since it's on netflix now) and I didn't expect to like it at all.....but hell, even if it's not worth any awards, it was surprisingly entertaining (especially if you liked the old Karate Kid movies).

My wife and I just finished watching it the other night. Yeah there's the cheesy kid stuff but man, the Johnny Lawrence character kills me lol. Some great one liners. The soundtrack is classic as well

Russian is beautiful to listen to. Definitely agree. Which language is the worst to listen to?

Hard to say, not a big fan of german, I guess it depends on whos tongue it rolls off. Some of these sound good.

Come with a free jazzy jeff though. Might be a bit of a deal breaker.

You get to throw him out, though.

This looks kinda interesting to me so I think I'll give this a watch once all 3 episodes air. I usually enjoy crime dramas out of the UK so I'll see how this goes later.

I think it's all super cheesy (80's nostalgia, Kids stuff, rip off from the movies) but they don't even try to hide it which makes it more acceptable. They kind of own it.

That's the best part. Like a throwback show where you didn't have to watch super carefully or can't miss a part, fun show

I wished he would work on his French accent cause Batrock doesn't come from Quebec, dammit.

It really depends who speaks it like pretty much all languages. I remember watching a Russian movie couple of years ago. It was about a young guy from Moskva stuck on an island with an old communist guy or something close to it. They sounded very very different

Really liking Raised by Wolves

I am with you. The Scandinavian languages, German and Dutch are all hard for the ear to accept.

Nurse Ratchet is a secretary in a Perry Mason episode.

You must've liked Mrs Nguyen in Better Call Saul?

RIP, only knew her from her role as Olenna, but it was a great performance.

DisneyPlus? How many of these streaming channels are we supposed to subscribe to?

It's getting to the point where we have to willfully ignore some interesting new offerings. I tend to find them elsewhere over time but I wish I didn't have to do that, it's annoying.

Maybe all of these services can team up and offer some kind of one fee for access to all, package. It's going to be overdue. Paying for all of them is pure insanity. Netflix happened and they were all late to the party.

I loved both seasons, really macabre but funny show -- tough to pull off but there enough of a dysfunctional backdrop to create tension throughout while remaining comically brilliant. Enjoy.

Really liking Raised by Wolves

Where are you watching that? Google says "HBO Max". What in God's world is that? I "only" have HBO.

It's gonna take time, because as of right now, streaming services are in expansion, new ones popping left and right and all are competing against each other for membership. It's gonna take a few of them failing and/or getting bought out before we start to see package deals. Although, cable distributors have started to offer free membership to certain streaming services like Netflix, so it's a starting point.

They all think they can get a big piece of the pie just by throwing money at streaming but eventually, they're just not going to have enough quality content to justify their existence.

I watched a really solid movie last night... The Father. Anthony Hopkins is F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. He’s so winning a 2nd Oscar for this. He plays a guy with dementia.

I also really loved Nomadland. The less you know about that film, the better.

I found One Night in Miami and Concrete Cowboy to be very boring. I liked the acting and that’s pretty much it. Also, Shadow in the Cloud is horrible, barring 2 unintentional hilarious scenes that almost make up for it (you have to see it to believe it).
