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

[aresknights]

Started the Wire again, hadn't seen it in a long while. I love that show, it's so good.

Really enjoyed that show. Maybe time to revisit it also.

Any1 see Yellowstone? Watched episode 1 today and I am thinking poor mans Sons of Anarchy on horses instead of bikes. Definitely going to give it a go. Thoughts without spoilers?

Liked the movie The Gentleman as well and watched it 2x in the last week. But a big fan of Snatch and those similar type movies also. Any thought on it?

I wonder if the surperhero movie craze is ever going to end. For every good one, there's three bad movies that come out, and yet Marvel and DC alike keep raking up the cash.

AFAIMC, Endgame marked the end of the golden age for superhero movies.

Cobra Kai season 3: 8/10 fun and entertaining.

I'm only about halfway through......but it's extra-cheese, lots of hearts with a high dose of nostalgia and despite being at their 3rd season, it's still compelling. They still don't pretend to make a work of art and simply make it simple, easy going, fun and entertaining. Loving it. Lawrence's character is really driving the show.

Honestly, from a strictly creative and market saturation standpoint, the pandemic delays for movies I think is a slight blessing in disguise. No Marvel Studio movies were released last year, and while Black Widow was done, the time off should help the creative teams properly plan out phase 4 and 5, especially with the passing of Chadwick Boseman.

It's not bad, gets better, unlike SoA .

Umbrella academy season 1
6/10, somewhat boring minus the last couple episodes.

I've started some Marvel series with some less known"superheroes"

Daredevil season 1
8.5/10, didn't know a lot about Daredevil. Really good.

Jessica Jones season 1
8/10, keeps you on edge.

Daredevil was awesome. Of the Netflix shows, if they decide to continue on Disney+ or bring into the movies, I'd like them to bring in Daredevil and The Punisher. The Punisher was also a very good series.

If you want something anti-Marvel, you should check out The Boys.

How to Watch the Marvel Netflix Shows in Order in 2020 - What's on Netflix

I'll probably watch all those series in that order.

I had a very hard time going through the 1st season of Umbrella Academy.....but the 2nd was much better in my opinion.

I’m thinking of watching The Gentleman this week. I too am a huge fan of Snatch and Lock, Stock so I’m looking forward to the Gentleman

 

[ForeverHabs97]

My favorite comedy show ever

 

[sheed36]

Watched the final 10 new episodes of Vikings over the weekend and for the most part I quite enjoyed how they finished this series up.

I wonder if Brent Burns will be fully healed from injuries he sustained during his Vikings acting stint and be ready for training camp.

No country for old men: Amazing through and through. Don't know why I kept putting off this movie. I think I unconsciously simply really hated Javier Bardem's dickhead haircut. Watch this if you haven't already.

Starting to watch the series Billions. After the pilot, I like the premise, but there's an underlying corniness with some of the script. Hopefully it doesn't go down the road of the later seasons of Suits.

Ya it's weird how they made it but it works. Super cheesy moments but they make it look like they are fully aware it. Like even the fights, they don't make them perfect or impressive, just more cheesy fights that are awkward. It's like shameless cheesiness. But then they throw in a ''f***ing p***y'' from the sensei to the kids and it's also hilarious.

Daredevil S1 and the Punisher are the best of the Marvel series. Daredevil S2 and Jessica Jones are also worthwhile.

Luke Cage, Iron Fist and the Defenders are probably not worth your time, in my opinion.

The first half of season one of Luke Cage was dope. Cottonmouth was a cool bad guy but then they pivot to Juice from SoA and it’s not interesting anymore

I agree with Iron Fist though, I didn’t really enjoy it. The worst part for me was how bad the martial art stunts were. For a show based around them they were extremely disappointing.

It was not bad but it's no lstsb though. To be fair, that movie was likely guy richie's magnum opus. It was enjoyable but forgettable.

Top Guy Ritchie movies for me:
- Snatch
- RocknRolla
- Lock Stock
- The Gentlemen
- Revolver (not for everyone, but I got a soft spot for it)

Could watch any of these at any given moment at any time of day and enjoy the shit out of it

Tonight was the final Jeopardy episode with Alex Trebec. The end of an era.

This was worth seeing. The best Hitchcock film Hitchcock never made
Grant and Hepburn are pretty funny.

Really enjoyed No country for old men.Haven't seen many film with Brolin,but he's pretty good in the films I've seen him in. Hail Cesar was not bad,made better with Ralph Fiennes cameos.

What's wrong with Bardens hair in the movie? I got an old toupee just like it

Speaking of Hitchcock, anyone have a list of favorite movies of his?
