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

[overlords]

Yeah in that case, I agree, comedy in movies is a wasteland in the last decade. Does Knives Out count? Really liked that one, but I guess it's not a bonafide 100% comedy. But aside from that, can't remember the last comedy I really liked.

Knives out is really good.

Thanks for the suggestion! Knives Out was pretty good, though it's far from being a comedy, IMO. It's got about as much funny in it as a Jordan Peele horror movie has nuance or atmosphere.

I'm mostly glad to have discovered Ana de Armas

Ooh right, that was her! True babe.

I watched 2049 but like most I think I forgot 99% of it. Never understood the hype outside the visuals.

Shameless

Should have been called ''shamefull''

 

[Milhouse40]

Don't expect anymore Black Widow.....

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Space jam 2 - they really had no new ideas except the video game route... great animation etc

 

[Redux91]

Eh, it was over anyway lol
Shes lucky she got a whole film outta it on top of everything else, i mean shes been playing the character for 11 years lol

Kingdom: Ashin of the North, pretty solid movie/TV special. Netflix should stop slacking off and confirm season 3 already.

It brings a new reality for the actors and thr streaming services.

No longer just a matter of x $ per tics

Can't wait for this, budget is insane

Should be epic for a serie, they better not screw this up.

 

[angusyoung]

Saw this for the first time since the cinema,not as good as I remember,but JB is still very memorable

Should be GoT-ish, as it covers the period where the necromancer (Sauron) seduced the kings of men and Elves and created the rings to enslave them.

It should......I really hope they stay true to the 2nd age. There's a lot of ground to cover but with 3 seasons already confrimed, should be enough to stay as faithful as possible.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Which book covers that era of LOtR?

There's not really any book actually.
Many parts of the Silmarillion can give you a lot of infos.

There's tons of references all over the books. From LOTR, Appendices and some in the unfinished tales...but there's no books which is only about the 2nd age. It leaves a lot of freedom to those who wrote the series but there's still a timeline and events that needs to fit. So many things said between Gandalf and Elrond are about that age.

The Father really hit hard. What an interesting take on Alzheimer’s. Extremely well edited and the set construction was superb. Anthony Hopkins best performance in decades, which is saying something. No wonder he got the award over Chadwick Boseman.

Yup, and I have 0 faith in Amazon not f***ing it up. People were blind to GOT being garbo after season 3 so I doubt this'll be any different. McLOTR, here we come.

Going to see Stillwater today

Looks intriguing, hope it's as good as it appears.
