I am eyeing this bad boy:
Costco Wholesale
I think considering the size, the price is pretty good. I'm still holding out until Black Friday but there is about a 75% of me getting this model.
OT: Let's talk about movies (and TV shows)... Part XX

Interstellar & Arrival are on my Top 10 worst hyped movies off all time. Thanks for the heads up on Annihilation, will give that a miss

See I loved Arrival and Interstellar. They told powerful human stories while balancing space/time and the sciences in a unique fashion. I felt Annihilation tried way too hard to do the same.
With Halloween coming, what are some people’s favourite scary movies? Last year I watched Robert Eggers’ The Witch. Absolutely amazing. It won’t be for everyone, but what an ambiance.

The witch was pretty good.
I liked Malevolent, The Forest, The invitation and Heredetary.

Interstellar was so fin bad. I was so, so, so hyped for it and I was pretty angry at the movie.
Well, there was kind of an interesting story in there, IMO. But the movie was littered with so much bull****, it was hard to give them a pass every time.
But yeah, let's not go there too much. Geeks are lurking around here.
The Night Comes For Us: 7.4/10
A good blood bath movie with over the top violence that will sometimes make you laugh and sometimes make you want to throw up.

I had a lot of heated arguments back then ITT. People were sucking on Nolans nipples hardcore, but a lot also agreed it was bad.Well, there was kind of an interesting story in there, IMO. But the movie was littered with so much bull****, it was hard to give them a pass every time.

I hadn't been paying attention to what's new on HBO.
And sure enough, another season of Ray Donovan is upon us.
They began with the dreaded "previously on Ray Donovan" -- a retrospective of last year's atrocious season in what has otherwise been a gripping show that has long caused GoodKiwi's dial meter to explode.
The good news: barely a peep about his wife in this season's first offering. The better news: without giving away too much, they go back to hitting a few high notes with a formula that has worked for the show.
Is there still a reason for the this show? People continue to f*** up and still need a fixer. And guess who is still around to mop things up. The theme has gotten long in the tooth and tired. Something else will have to give.
I like Liev Schreiber's acting and have grown to like some of the regulars. I'm just looking to be surprised at this point even if I can't help but think they're just laying down the same formula that has worked for the show early on. Fan backlash must have been through the roof when they dropped the ball last season. I hope they didn't take that to mean that they just needed to go back to what worked in prior seasons, to make this right. It's been done, take it in a different direction. We'll see.

Obligatory shout out for people to check out The Wailing (2016) for a great exorcism style horror jam.
It's a very good movie. Definitely recommended.

Wasn't a fan of Dunkirk either tbh, but I didn't mind Arrival.

I couldn’t get into Dunkirk either, tried a few times to watch it on an overseas flight but kept falling asleep and haven’t tried since

If you don't mind subtitles or you understand Eller's mother tongue, a fantastic flick to catch is THE GUILTY. It's a thriller about a Danish 9-1-1 call operator (or 1-1-2 in Denmark) and it takes place in one office. Well, two offices actually but it's an emotional roller coaster with twists and turns that will leave you out of breath and stunned by all the surprises.
Watched an exclusive screening of Bohemian Rhapsody on Friday and found it was rather average. I thought and expected so much more but I found the movie didn’t focus enough on the people. Music was great but the story left me wanting more.
In contrast, I watched A Star is Born Saturday and was incredibly impressed. I basically forgot I was watching a movie. I was shocked how well Lady Gaga acted and her and Cooper had fantastic chemistry. I know it’s a remake of a remake and the story itself isn’t anything new, but the delivery and the portrayal of characters as people really engaged me.
Bohemian Rhapsody 6/10 (honestly felt it was a 5 but gave it 1 more for the music)
A Star is Born 8.5/10 (this should clean up at the Oscars)

I agree about Interstellar but I thought Arrival was Ok, like 3 stars.
The casting of McConaughey in Interstellar was not a good fit, after a while my arse started to hurt, that is usually a good sign that I don't like a movie.

In other news, Ive started Bodyguard. Pretty good. Loved that second episode and the intrigue just keeps me going.
Also is Richard Madden a manlet? He looks like one.
Keeley Hawes is absolutely smoking, too. Sophie Rundle, too.

Bow down to Da Best city.
Seriously even though Le Vieux Québec looks good cause of the old architecture, I always thought Québec was a weirdly "arranged" city. I wish it was a proper city, like a US city where there's a clear view that this is the city, there's a clearer demarcation where the city start and ends. This what I found shocking when I went to Ottawa by hitchiking as a teenager where the highway would end when you were entering the city. I was like "now this is a proper city!". Although it was a little boring. Maybe you need to be a mess to be exciting? lol
Read somewhere that Madden is in consideration for the next Bond.
