OT: Spoiler Alert [Spoiler Alert ((Spoiler Alert))] (The Newly Annual Non-Pens Media Thread)

PLEASE GET A SPOILER TAG UP!

Hadn't seen it, but knew of it, and didn't realize it was a spoiler til your post just now.

Can't wait for JoJo rabbit.

So. I watched the GG Allin documentary yesterday.

There's a show on Netflix called Another Life with Katee Sackhoff in it. Sort of a knockoff of Interstellar. Don't watch it, it's bad. Third degree chemical burn bad. It's not the type of bad that you can laugh at, unfortunately. It's the type of bad that leaves you mystified that someone allocated a lot of money to some incompetent person, so that they could earnestly film incompetent nonsense.

I'm having trouble remembering anything as poorly written as this show with similar high dollar production values. Something like that might exist, but I'm drawing a complete blank. Maybe Alien vs Predator 2? That still probably comes up short.

So. I watched the GG Allin documentary yesterday.

And?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

And?

It was only like 55-minutes long. I watched it because I've heard about him, saw brief clips of him, and the director was the same guy that did The Hangover and Joker.

Yeah, he did some gross messed up stuff. And, I'm not a psychologist and I know this was in the late 80s/early 90s, but he should have gotten help while in his teens. I guess it's good he overdosed before he did his final stage act? Because I feel like he would've shot up some of the audience as well.

Also, his brother has a Hitler 'stache and that was unexpected.

Probably should not have watched it on my work phone.

In the least surprising news of recent memory, Disney and Sony agree that they both like printing money

Spider-Man Will Stay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Joker was amazing. That's all I really have to say about it.

If DC ever wants to compete with Disney in the comic book movie industry, they need to make this the standard.

 

[Jacob]

Midsommar is quite an experience.

 

[Rakell67]

Good list. Totally agree about Hateful 8.

My ranking, though the top 8 are totally interchangeable except for the #1 spot:
Pulp Fiction
... and a four way tie for second place-
Jackie Brown
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Reservoir Dogs
Inglorious Basterds
...at #6 Django
Kill Bill (1&2)
True Romance (as writer)
From Dusk to Dawn (as writer)
Hateful 8
* EDIT: Dang, nearly forgot, forgive me for not giving some cred for his original screenplay "Natural Born Killers"...

I always thought Four Rooms was entertaining but it’s been so long since i’ve watched it (20 years?).

Glad you mentioned it, I've seen it but don't remember a thing. I will re-watch, and to that point, it's probably time to give Death Proof another shot.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Just watched El Camino. Definitely unnecessary, but I liked it.

 

[dogthateats]

Dang, today’s Succession was very good

If it was unnecessary what does that make Better Call Saul lolz

Fair point. What a great show though. Also, I would say there was more story to tell about Jimmy and Mike compared to Jesse. I'd say I've come out of BCS (it's not over yet, but still) with a different opinion of those characters than I had purely from BB. El Camino left me feeling pretty much exactly the same about Jesse as I did at the end of BB.

 

[dogthateats]

I started watching Letterkenny. I had never heard of it. Pretty funny.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I just finished Fleabag earlier today and it is fantastic.

just saw it last night, and I agree

 

[Ogrezilla]

Anyone else watching the HBO watchmen series? I like it a lot so far.

 

[Tender Rip]

Midsommar is quite an experience.

Accurate depiction of Sweden. Very beautiful, but so repressed and messed up!

 

[Randy Butternubs]

The Mandalorian should be a good time.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Currently watching The House That Jack Built. I do not care for it, but I'm almost all the way through it.

 

[HandshakeLine]

The Mandalorian should be a good time.

That's what they also said about Andrei Rublov, and only ONE horse got set on fire. I oughta get a refund.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I hope this turns out to be good

I read the Czech translations of the novels a few years ago, and I gotta say, I honestly thought the video games were better.

On a related note, anyone see the new His Dark Materials? How does it stack up to the books/the film?
