Latifah & actors/music artists like her aren't committed enough to do a show for long periods of time, yeah when she first came on the seen with "Living Single" it was her big break and it did well, but now she's just doing it as a steady income until the Hollywood covid conditions are lifted.

I was surprised that Taraji stayed on "Person Of Interest" as long as she did before getting the role on "Empire"; and I still think Angela Bassett will quit "9-1-1" when the whole covid-19 protocol is lifted in California.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

It’s good, I’m on episode 3.

The Americans- people rave about this show, don’t they? it’s pretty good but I don’t love it, on Season 2 now.


30 Coins- Super over the top horror, in Spanish. I feel like the show had potential but it’s way too ridiculous. First episode felt like a season finale.

Just finished rewatching Sopranos, so good.

I wouldn't put it past 45, Mcconnell, Hawley, or any of those mfs


There were a couple parts that felt over the top, but I saw an interview where Bush + Renz remind us that what they depicted is not even a fraction of how fucked up white supremacy actually is, particularly during that era. Can't really argue that.

I tried posting here abt it after I watched it and used the word great, but wild is a much more accurate/appropriate word choice. Agreed.

*Spoilers within*

I know they may have been trying to highlight that folks should be attentive at all times, but... Why would she not even check to make sure she was getting in the Uber she ordered? Where in the entire hell did the little girl come from in the hotel elevator (and dressed like THAT) no adult supervison or anything? The guy she tried to escape with, as strong as he was, just suddenly became useless to point of getting killed quite quickly and easily, and she had to kill the slaver herself. I know the story is about a female hero and all, but damn. The agendas here were more important than good storytelling at some key spots in this movie... mostly the transitional spots, which can really ruin a story.

Concept was cool tho. It's a shame, because if it didn't seem so slapped together, it would probably be one of my favorite movies right now.

This isn't that uncommon, is it? And given the psycho couple were intent on kidnapping her due to their father's/father-ILs obsession w/ Monae's character... would that even have made a difference? They could've just lied, no? Like:

"Hey, are you Abigail?"

"Yes Ma'am "

etc.

Where in the entire hell did the little girl come
>from in the hotel elevator (and dressed like THAT) no adult
>supervison or anything?

Well I mean, where did the creepy flower delivery guy come from (who obv worked for Denton as he was wearing one of those BD pins)?? And psycho red-head girl i.e. Denton's daughter, when she got into Monae's character's room (and was also wearing a BD pin)? The little girl/psycho red-head girl's daughter was dressed the same as how she was earlier in the movie when she was "in character" at the family's plantation, so maybe she'd just come from there or was about to go there etc. I actually think the Denton family might've even owned that hotel or something, bc that would make sense of why the flower guy and psycho red-head girl and the little girl/psycho red-head girl's daughter were able to gain such easy access. Additionally, if the Denton family owned that hotel it would help explain how they knew Monae's character would be in town for that specific conference and at that specific restaurant that night in order to abduct her (eg. remember her creepy interaction with the front desk, which she just assumed was bad customer service?). Denton was a racist wealthy election-rigging POS whose name was plastered all over (eg. the huge re-election ad the ubers drove past when Monae's character was being abducted) and had a huge following. It'd actually make total sense that the plantation and re-enactment park were not his only properties in the area. He was like a Trump.


The guy she tried to escape with, as
>strong as he was, just suddenly became useless to point of

>the slaver herself. I know the story is about a female hero
>and all, but damn.

Hmm... I think useless is a little harsh on dude. Denton intentionally went ham on him first (which they also did at the start of the film when they were trying to subdue/recapture he and his wife... so maybe neutralizing the Black man first was/is the actual tactic). And also we have to remember he was enslaved at that point... who knows what kind of injuries he might have been fighting with? Even that shit they did to his back earlier in the film could have rendered him a weaker fighter still by the time of that later escape attempt. It's not like they were being taken care of/had access to healthcare or anything.

If your issue is with the idea that little Monae could have taken out Denton tho, then I donno... I don't think we should put anything past a woman trying to fight her way back to her child/family. And maybe that was a point Bush + Renz were trying to make intentionally? Denton's confederate thugs brutally murdered that guy's wife right in front of him, which must have been excruciatingly traumatic and emasculating etc. Maybe not only brutalizing the Black man but taking away all he had to fight for (and rubbing it in his face, by making him clean up her remains in that death shed) made him a weaker fighter and more susceptible to Denton's intent to kill him once and for all. In contrast, throughout Monae's time at that plantation we see her reminding herself of her family (eg. running her hands over the replica of her daughter's picture she carved into the wood) and her motivation to escape. And perhaps that made her a more desperate and ruthless fighter.

The agendas here were more important than

Lol, I'm just glad to get a chance to talk about it. No one I know in real life has bothered to check it out. I def think it's worth watching tho.

But here's the thing. When you take an Uber, there's not only a description of the car picking you up but also a headshot of the driver. Maybe I'm different, but I always look at those things to make sure I get in the right car. Perhaps I'm giving humans too much credit again lol.

The theory that Denton owned the hotel does make a lot of sense. But then, I think if the movie wasn't lazy, that wouldn't have to be a theory. It would be revealed at the end of the movie... or sometime during. The reveal would make a for a great moment. And I still don't get why they little girl would be running around the hotel in her plantation clothes by herself... other than for a creepy movie moment. Maybe if someone had commented on her outfit, and she said "I'm part of a reenactment" or some shit. Gimme something. Did her mama lose her? Idk, just weird to me lol.





>Hmm... I think useless is a little harsh on dude. Denton
>intentionally went ham on him first (which they also did at

The idea of neutralizing the Black man first is worth mentioning. I can't help but think it's either intentional or just... lazy that it wasn't. We do hear a good speech about the empowerment of the Black woman from Janelle's character however, which was a nice movie moment imo.



>And also we have to
>remember he was enslaved at that point... who knows what kind

These are legit considerations. Imo, the movie fails in that they have to be assumptions rather than things we can confirm.



>If your issue is with the idea that little Monae could have

>put anything past a woman trying to fight her way back to her

I don't have a problem with women winning/beating up dudes. I just hate that there was a Black man present who was pretty useless in the fight. It wouldn't have ruined the movie in the slightest had they escaped together.

Yaknow, I'd think he'd have that much more rage inside him to kill the guy after what he did to his wife. Like... I can't even imagine. That's actually another level that just turned me all the way off. If some racist mufucka did that shit to any Black man I know, that Black man would rip him apart with his bare hands. Don't get me wrong, grief affects people different. However, he was even saying all this shit under his breath while picking cotton, like he was just WAITING for the chance to get at dude. The ease with which he was killed just didn't add up. Seems like there should've been more fire and determination on his part as well.



>Lol, I'm just glad to get a chance to talk about it. No one I
>know in real life has bothered to check it out. I def think
>it's worth watching tho.


Lol, yeah I hate when that happens. I actually watched this with a lady friend. I fell asleep (because I was tired) and woke up to her saying she didn't like it, because it wasn't the horror film she expected. I thought it was probably good and her expectations ruined it for her. I was actually glad it wasn't a horror film and liked the actual concept better. Just had other issues with it.

Stories focused more on 'underworld' power brokers like Big U, Hatian Jack, Supreme Team, crew, etc.. and how they shaped hip hop

Some great footage and stories so far, and a fresh take just in the sense that these are people you see pop up in other docs and stories as behind the scenes, but are never the focus

at least that i've ever seen

the buildings are all occupied, and DTLA is weird in the sense that there's also so much construction going on and money going into it, but in the sense that these people are corralled into this area and how it's pretty much it's own world reminds me a lot of it.

there are mini skid rows and tent communities all over LA now though

here's a 15 year veteran homicide detective.
here's a cop who worked skid row for over a decade.
here's a forensic pathologist who's done over 1000 atuopsies.

here's gary. middle aged neckbeard who lives with his mom and has a youtube channel. he says the way the elevator door closes is hard evidence of an lapd conspiracy. i mean, he's watched the video 200 times.

now let's hear from six more people just like Gary

i thought they brought it around with that poor death metal guy, and it showed even though these people could be well meaning, bored busybodies trying to find purpose, that outside the Dark Water thing, they turned out to be ultimately useless. to their credit, at the very least, they seemed to admit most of the shit they said was wrong.

Dropped off a couple months ago and didn't pick it back up, but I was impressed by all the worlds they were bringing together (although Justin Long's American character drove me crazy.)

I left off at ep 5, and the ending seemed to be hinting at the start of a love affair that I wasn't too excited about.

At first I wasn't feeling it because there is no story line, but after watch for a while it was actually good.

Google describes it as "Intimate and personal moments from the lives of the black community of Hale County, Alabama, forming an emotive impression of the historic South and consequences of racism while upholding the beauty of life."

I ended up liking it.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Goddamn if it's slow, my wife tapped out about 15 minutes in.

I almost tapped out halfway through ep.1

But by the end of the first and the whole second eps I realized sometimes that slow start / slow burn whether a book or a show or a movie, is rewarded.

Definitely feel like it picked up in the second and looking forward to finishing

Finishing strong is a whole other issue with these series

A 70's NYC PBS music/talk show. Season 1 is on Amazon. It's awesome. Ali, James Baldwin, Nikki Giovanni, Al Green, Mandrill, Bill Withers, McCoy Tyner...etc...etc. Long form interviews, spoken word, musical performances.

I just watched an episode with LaBelle. Awesome!

In response to Reply # 45


  

          

so interesting to me on several levels. One being the way James Baldwin refers to Nikki Giovanni as "Baby" so often when he disagrees with her or is trying to impart another point of view. I think of her as the person who would talk to me like that and it amazes me to hear someone talking to her that way. Of course the content of the conversation are also interesting. So many things they say can apply to today.

49. "The Sopranos, season 1"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Watching it for the very first time.

I like to immerse myself into a show when I watch it by reading posts and listening to episode-by-episode podcasts. But that's hard to do with The Sopranos without stumbling onto spoilers. I've tried listening to a couple of episodes of the "Talking Sopranos" podcast, and while they're reviewing the show episode by episode, they're also talking about the show as a whole very fluidly. So Imperioli and Schirripa will occasionally just casually reference things that happen in later seasons and then I get annoyed with myself for listening. But then I go back and listen again because I really like hearing them talk about it.

What I'm saying is, I'm enjoying The Sopranos. That Bokeem Woodbine character in that one episode was overwritten though.

It's such a good show. It triggers a lot of nostalgia for me as I was basically AJ's age with an older sister at the time the show aired and grew up in NJ. Definitely more rewatchable for me than The Wire, the "other" GOAT HBO series.

Pod Yourself A Gun is another fun podcast where each episode is loosely based around an episode of the show. I think they may drop little spoilers once in a while though.

In response to Reply # 57


  

          

I powered through the first episode and got pulled into by the 3rd and really want to solve the mystery about what was going on and by episode 5 I was firmly hooked.

But episode 6 has been messing with my head and got me down right angry.

I think it was worth watching and maybe I would even describe it as a good watch, but I've never been left more frustrated by and ending (and that might even be in a good way).

I don't know if I can recommend it, but I want more people to watch it so I can talk about this series.

It was straight. They definitely maintained a really creepy vibe. We got a few good character development set ups right off the bat.

*SPOILER*


I was a little caught off guard that they caught the killer in the same episode. I was expecting the story to play out over at least a couple of episodes. I hope they don't make catching killers easy like Jessica Fletcher.

I've been watching this, still into it. Where they've ended up going after that quick first find of the killer ends up working I think, its a bigger idea but feels relevant to current pharma stuff. People who were expecting serial killer stuff might be let down though. I enjoy it though, hopefully they can manage and do justice to the ardelia plotline/black coalition and the accountant.

Showing everyone’s real name kinda felt like reading liner notes mixed with trading cards. I liked that they didn’t go too heavy into the Pac/East-West shit. Just a story about a guy.

Was the concert footage offbeat for anyone else? Like, his rhythm was way off.

years ago I binged Breaking Bad and loved it.

now my wife and I are doing Ozark...well, we were, she finished, I'm lagging.

I was thinking of trying BCS but I'm not sure if its a good fit for a binge worthy show. I tried the first episode years ago and it didn't catch.

thoughts?

i think i enjoyed the latest two seasons the most but all of them have been really good. there are some story lines that are kind of a rough watch for me at least. not because they are poor quality but the content kind of triggers me for some reason lol

But the first three seasons aren’t necessarily for everyone, I get that. It all comes together beautifully though IMO and Rhea Seehorn is the most underrated actress out.

In response to Reply # 0


          

It was good until the ending. It had that Sundance ending where it just... ends. Like a documentation of life. No punctuation on the conclusion, exactly. We just see that things are progressing in a certain direction. Both Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson did some really good acting in it.

emotional dynamic (generally speaking) so accurately that women would side with the wife and men would side with the man. I actually thought he handled things poorly prior and she was handling them poorly in the present, for the most part. She made reconciliation rather impossible because she couldn't let go of previous hurt and came across vindictive to me... yet it was due to him being careless with her feelings and desires during the marriage.

For some people I know this was easy to gloss over, but if somebody told me the movie's emotional stakes were COMPLETELY ruined for them when it turns out that the husband DID DO what for most of the movie he's only suspected of doing on the part of the audience, I'd let them hold that. Again, I really, really hold Marriage Story in high regard, but that was hard to reconcile with this one thing that honestly still nags at me about it.

I get why you want to pull what Adam Driver's character did out of the realm of speculation into fact for the benefit of ScarJo's character, but to that point a lot of the movie's tension rests on who you believe in a given scene or who's being the / a bigger asshole, but once you know what he did it's kind of like...she's right, y'know? At the end of the day she's right, and as a child of divorce whose parents separated because they just plain aged apart from each other in every way from hobbies to politics, I kind of wanted to see a movie that accepted sometimes that's all a divorce is about, not some big betrayal but a series of small, unintentional ones.

It also retroactively raises questions about Adam's behavior in scenes prior to that reveal and whether he's truly emotionally abusive while ScarJo is just kind of going through it, and you can tell those aren't things Baumbach intended for Marriage Story to be about.

Somewhere in here there's a good movie, but i thought it was ultimately kinda bad.
No one in this movie feels like they'd be an actual person. it's Weird.

Beautifully shot. A bit too long perhaps but ultimately just a beautiful piece of documentary art.

Finally getting around to this after a pod I like raving about it for weeks and...yea, this is some good shit. The HBO production of Angels in America still lingers around in my subconscious and this is a perfect modernization of that play/story.

It's got the same penchant for creative flourishes and turning normal conversations into metaphors and allegories, but since it's from the UK perspective it has the interesting perspective of the AIDS crisis being a mostly U.S. (New York) borne illness that the rest of the world struggles to take totally seriously...which also makes it probably the best COVID-related thing to come out so far.

watched up to the middle of season 6 and lost interest. also this was maybe half a year ago so my thoughts on the show will be hazy and half-remembered. i was sucked into the show in a way that hadn't happened in years (my tv and film viewing cratered over the past decade or so) and that was a very enjoyable feeling

the best thing about this show is that it never stops moving since you're following like 4 storylines in any given episode. there are always new characters to meet and old ones to revisit. it is a fantatically paced show. it also looks amazing. the production value is off the charts. this seems academic but it matters to me beceause my suspension of disbelief with TV and film is kind of weak; i often end up thinking about the logistics of making the scene (where the cameras and mics are, where the actors are keeping their sides, how the people being filmed are the actors vs them being the characters, etc.) rather just going with it. due to the presentation and brisk pacing i was unusually immersed in GoT and remembered how engaging a well-made film or tv series can be. great stuff!

there is simply too much to get into with the breadth of charcters and storylines in the show. i can't even get my head around it as i type this. i liked the lannisters, i found the starks to be overly earnest, and it took me a long time to buy into the stannis story arc. jon snow eventually won me over. it was easy to root for arya. the show's portrayal of evil as something both high concept (joffery, the boltons) and very grounded (random acts of malice) was interesting. the violence was often jarring and the results gruesome. i thought the show presented a pragmatic view of life. if you want something enough you just make an effort to get it and do whatever you need to make it happen. i also enjoyed that there were lot of times throughout the seasons where women were at least as powerful, important, and pivotal as the men in the show and historically that has not been the case with TV and film


some random thoughts about the show that have stuck with me over the months:

• my favorite bits in the show were the two-handers between jaime and brienne and arya and the hound. sometimes nothing is better than two characters getting to know each other

• emilia clarke is not a great actor or daenerys was underwritten. i thought daenerys was a cool character who did a lot really amazing things and wanted to enjoy her scenes more than i did

• lena headey is unbelievable. her motions and line deliveries as cersei are so subtle, practiced, and convincing. masterful stuff

• the red wedding legitimately surprised me even though i had awareness of it due to its impact on the social media and media criticism cycles. i didn't know what was going to happen — or when — but i knew *something* was going to happen. it was a genuinely shocking scene and i'm glad i got to experience something similar to what the makers of the show intended despite "knowing" about it beforehand

• tommy carcetti's haircut in that era always killed me every time i saw it. i never got over it and i think it affected how i viewed littlefinger and aidan gillen's portrayal of him. i think gillen is not the best actor and is just a super charismatic person whom the camera loves

• peter dinklage's acting was great. his accent was not. i'm not sure how carcetti was able to away with a misplaced accent but dinklage couldn't

• i started skipping the torture porn scenes pretty quickly into that story thread. it became masturbatory at a point and no longer served the story. i didn't particularly care for theon but they didn't have to do him like that

• jonathan price is such a good actor. i knew his ass was jonathan price the actor when he first appeared and i still bought into his weird passive-aggressive cult leader. however the church/cult storyline is one of the reasons i started to lose interest in the show


there is way more but i might be too far removed to recall it fully. i did genuinely enjoy most of what i watched and enjoyed enjoying a TV series for the first time in ages. at some point i might revisit and finish it. i do feel like i got a lot from it even with my incomplete viewing. most series tend to peter out no matter how good they are and the ending is generally disppointing because it's impossible for it to live up to the highs that the series achieved. closure generally doesn't interest me so getting back in might be a challenge

I started the show back at the beginning of quarantine and wasn't really feeling the first few episodes. Went back to it in January and I'm enjoying it now.
Franklin is funny to me because he's what 19? 20? And the most confident, cocksure muhfucker on the planet. In 3 seasons, he's expressed doubt exactly 1 time. He always knows exactly what to do (even when he's wrong). That's what's most unbelievable about him.

I'm also amused at how much they try to make the black characters look like they're in the 80s, but don't do the same with the white characters (Teddy) or even the Mexican characters. They could all be in 2021.

I jumped into this and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I finished Wandavision after catching up on Doom Patrol so it was time.

I think I'm gonna wait until Falcon/Winter Soldier is done to binge it all the way.

season 3 is hit and miss so far, im 3 episodes in. i really enjoyed episode 1, seemed like the show got more confident. episode 2 was just weird. i had seen a youtube video that mentioned the cgi scene so i wasnt surprised but i do think it was bad and pointless. not horrible considering when it was made but weird. the first half of that episode was completely off to me. felt real forced. the second half got back on track. episode 3 was fine. i just really dislike janice lol

153. "Deadly Illusions (2021, Netflix0"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I've never read a trashy romance novel, but now I can say I've definitely seen one on tape!


Kristin Davis is ON ONE here, and the kid/teen/adult(????!) being played by Kelsey Grammer's daughter (she's 29 in real life, but the movie is VERY fast and loose with her character's age) just had me picturing a disapproving Frasier Crane in the background of most scenes.


Anyway, there's some good WTF type laughs to be had but it sounds like it hit Netflix's Top Ten due to the queer romance at the center, only for the LGBTQ community to be deeply offended by the portrayal. So! It's a very Lifetime type movie otherwise. Grab a bottle of wine and you're good to go...if you want. Which you might not.

My favorite Letterboxd review so far:


"wanted gone girl for gay people, got split for straight people? pass"

Kristin Davis literally shouted "yippee!" when her character rode a bicycle for the first time in years. It's too high budget for Best of the Worst, but it's damn close.

It's interesting, good, and weird.
I'm halfway into episode two and the structure is just strange to me.
There are some dramatized moments, some archival footage, and a lot of Peck talking... not necessarily as an "expert" though.

Anyone else seem this yet?

In response to Reply # 176


  

          

I made a post in PTP and got crickets. I can see why one would think the vignettes odd. I'm thinking that it might gain some context with multiple viewings. Anyway, I think it goes a long way towards introducing concepts of white supremacy that many like to hide from. I've talked to "white men" and they love to go on and on about civilizing the savages and how Africans and Native Americans are "lucky". This series blows all that up.

Couple scenes that stood out to me were: white boy saying "don't make me call the cops" in regards to the truck; the asshole dog walker (fuck you mean it aint a big deal!?); the blood seeping up from the concrete as that white bitch says "as long as I don't live in a crack house;" Mike...Mike's mother in the rain; the way the prison visit scene played out; white guy, "911" <--lol; dude moaning like a hippo.

It's so stupid. Like all the actors involved are like... on the spectrum. You know exactly who these people were in high school.
And the rest of these dumb-dumbs who followed along with it have spent way too many time watching sci-fi and super hero movies. They think the real world functions like the fucking Avengers.

And I can't be the only person who noticed... Ron Watkins clearly thinks of himself as being L from Death Note. Right down to his hair styling and use of a single-letter pseudonym.

Watched all of these recently and would recommend them (highly)

Zero: “ A teenager with the power of invisibility is dragged into a criminal's quest to rule the neighborhood.“ (Italy, 2021)

Snabba Cash: “The lives of an ambitious businesswoman, a troubled teenager, and a charming gang enforcer collide during a desperate, and sinister, pursuit of wealth” (Sweden, 2021)

not sure how you feel about dramas but all their original series are pretty dope.

I was intrigued by the preview. I usually don’t watch shows that only release an episode at a time, but there were 3 episodes on there and I started Ep. 1 and got pulled in.

has become a part of our lives is very interesting. Dare I say that I like this show more now?

I stopped watching around season two. Maybe early three. Hated the way Madison treated Chris. Was over it when Travis left. Didn't understand how they just show up on someones ranch and become the leaders.

But I am giving it another go...

Let it ride for a bit and just binged the first five episodes last night/this evening.


It's got bits of a lot of genre stuff - Broadchurch, Prisoners, The Outsider (before it got all supernatural) but the cast is wildly good and the northwest Philly setting is so hyper specific in every detail. Plus for a mostly dramatic show they really do a good job balancing with some levity - the Jean Smart renaissance continues! And Evan Peters clearly watched a LOT of Colin Hanks-as-a-cop footage and is awesome at that role.


There's a chance the broad strokes of the plot are gonna try a little hard for a dramatic twist at the end but at this point if they go goofy they've earned it from me. At least there's definitely not a Cthulu monster waiting at the end of the tunnel.

some of the personalities especially that boy with the baby. The way he treated his child's mother burned me up and you could clearly see what was coming at the end of that episode.

I might watch another episode but I also might not given what I said about the knowing that I didn't like the show "Them" but continuing to watch because of FOMO. Gotta let that go!!

Ultimately we’re overdosing on drugs and kidnapping teens here so there’s not a lot of sunshine in this series lol

246. "I really, really appreciate what this show's overall theme was"
In response to Reply # 234


  

          

Pretty refreshing for this type of show in general but also just coming out of this whole weird year and seeing most people didn't learn anything about empathy for other people but actually got worse...despite all the darkness of this show, it weirdly left me feeling good about people and community in a weird way.


That said, there DID wind up being a LOT of red herrings and lplot points that felt big and revelatory at the time that this show actually had no interest in other than hitting a dramatic beat in a given episode. So as a murder mystery/kidnapping show it's not in the upper upper echelon, but it's a great example of how TV can just tell you a good, novel-like story and really put you in another world for a few hours without trying to upend the entire medium the way so many post-Sopranos/Wire shows do.

256. "Anyone watching Superman & Lois or Batwoman S2?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

I watched the first season of Batwoman, was invested but understood the complaints, the change of the lead has only really lead to good things. It is also a very black lead show as a result while still just being a Superhero show, mid-season finale just happened though and the ending was a pretty dramatic cliffhanger.

Superman & Lois feels good to me. First 5 episodes were a while ago, it's started up again recently. It's a 'spinoff' from the recurring characters in the Supergirl/Arrowverse series but it feels different from those shows in a good way. The teen sons' plot lines can end up feeling a bit angsty but it all ties together well overall and I think it's an interesting spin on the typical Supes character/story.

I hate the logic of "if someone says something stupid, we laugh at them, not intellectualize it."
Like, if that's how you handle it, that's cool. Not everyone is you. There are multiple ways to approach a situation and the intellectualizing is just as valuable (or even moreso, imo) as the just laughing and shaming.

And goddamn she says nigga a lot. And I say it a lot. But she's just fucking egregious talking to these white people.

Just watched Raiders and it's BY FAR the best I've ever seen it look - and I've seen it in the theater on multiple releases and on every other medium from beta to, laserdisc, and Blu-ray.

Watching Temple now - but it's such a bad movie I paused it until tonight. (Willie and Short Round just yell, the dinner scene with snakes and monkey brains, etc. etc.)

Gives me a little bit of an "In the Heights" vibe but that's mostly because I just recently watched that too.

"Riders of Justice" is a good Danish revenge flick but that doesn't entirely sum it up. Stars the homie Mads Mikkelsen.

O and this Brazilian series "Dom" is pretty good too. Narco cop who's son falls into drug addiction.

It kept popping up so I assumed it was new, only to discover it was a Crackle show that came to netflix and there are already 3 seasons.

Anyway, halfway through the first season I'm enjoying it.

a good salesman?
Every time he tries to pitch to an investor it sounds painfully generic. like just a tad above someone trying to sell me MLM

and I legit can't tell if the show is trying to relay if he's talented at this or awful.

In response to Reply # 0


          

The style is jarring and makes it kind of difficult to watch. It is part corny, basic, laugh track sitcom; part gritty and dark drama. The transitions between the two are done pretty well, but the sitcom part is so (intentionally) bad, that it is hard to watch.

I'm interested to see where they are going with the concept, so I'll try to stick with it for a bit.

It was better than the book, which isn't saying much. The racism, sexism, and weird gatekeeping weren't so prevalent, and I guess a kid would have found it appealing.

It feels like a Black Sex and the City (I never watched that show).

I dig seeing all this Blackness on screen but its a bit goofy.

but I do wonder if anyone else on this show gets sex scenes or is it just the girl with no body.. lol.

In response to Reply # 321


  

          

I just watched it for the second time a few months back

Not sure if i'd compare it to SOA which eventually became a fun hate watch. Banshee never became that for me because I feel like it was always more comfortable in its own skin and felt so natural in all its over-the-topness.

SOA was always a second tier show that believed it was a top tier show. But god I loved to hate watch it.

i always enjoy this show. its like light reading or something.

The final season is airing now, I started watching at mid season 2 and had to go back and watch it all. . It's a slept on show, well acted and really good plots. The lead is also the creator and writer.

I'd heard of it before, but was shocked to see there were 11 seasons. Amazingly funny...it's a nice palette cleanser after watching some of the more serious TV shows/documentaries.

A short cut to describe it is think of it as an spinoff epilogue for Devil in the Blue Dress and we revisit Mousy after 20 years.

Probably due to the era but i already like it more than Book of Ghost.

That said you got some characters looking like it's 91 and some looking like it's 88, but at this point you gotta know what to expect from the Powerverse

I tend to put something on when I'm putting my kid to sleep.

Started this series over the course of last week and found it pretty engaging. Way too long but I'm a sucker for Irish accents so I stuck with it.

If you liked "Call Me By Your Name" this film gave me a similar vibe, just darker.

CJ Hunt (Roy Wood Jr. was a producer) goes to New Orleans and Charlottesville to cover the confederate statue removal. They also review the history of the statues and the attempts to rewrite slavery as a good time had by most.

It's a comedian's take on the whole thing. I really enjoyed it.

Back when "Good Wife" was on, it was the best show on TV IMO. But I got about 5-6 seasons in and then fell off.

I've heard nothing but good things about "Good Fight."

We binged it in about a week and I'm already anxious for the nest season.

Great characters and some really tough moments. I know it's a Native American story but I think it's underrated for how relatable it is.

finished season 1 by sunday night lol felt like the last few episodes dragged a bit but as a whole a great first season.

im like 4 episodes into season 2 and so far its a step down. still a lot better than most shows but i find myself drifting more. i should probably slow down some.

watching the skyzoo interview with talib prompted me to finally check it out.

season 2 definitely picked up i think it finished pretty strong.

im like 3 episodes into season 4 now. season 3 was pretty good, i didnt quite expect it to go down like that at the end. it had me wondering if i would care to watch going forward. so far i still do.

I hate the way her father was like "I can't live your life for you" when confronted with the fact that his daughter was being abused, but then wanted to kill the guy after her stabbed and shot her, Why didn't he try to help her BEFORE it go that far!?

I won't even give her mother the dignity of commenting on her.

In response to Reply # 389


          

and it def exceeded our expectations. What seemed like a goofy idea turned out to be pretty entertaining.

and its a bit annoying when people always look for holes in the plot to try to convince you a show isn’t good/entertaining.


everyone is a director/critic these days.

I’m all about these chef table and cooking shows that show different cultures making good ass food.

Now I want to visit all these places simply to try street food or hit up a restaurant.

I should’ve been a food critic. What an awesome job.

In response to Reply # 414


          

I've only watched the first 4, but the Christmas episode was enough for me to realize the show needs a stronger direction.

That being said, I'm sure I'll watch it when I get bored - it's not bad - its just not season 1.

I didn't feel this way about The Wire.

Wire S2 got disrespect but it's fucking great. Most people came around on it, either by season's end or on rewatch.

Lasso S2 doesn't seem like something that's gonna be looked back upon as super underrated, but maybe i'm the wrong person to evaluate or compare these since I liked Wire S2 on first run

this season of TL is starting to feel like a chore. like, well I came this far

I think that is why people don’t fuck with it.

When I rewatch I have no problem with season 2. I actually appreciated how they showed the drugs coming in and the other illegal shit that THEY do.

starting on S2 - it's not amazing or anything, and some of the character motivations don't make much sense, but it's a fun enough watch, and BillyBob is great in everything.

In response to Reply # 0


          

almost turned it off because it mostly plays out like a typical wan/blumhouse type horror flick to start (im not the biggest fan of the modern horror genre). i was confused as to how/why it got a good critic score on rotten tomatoes.

but this shit gets insaaaaaaane if you stick with it. the last act is absolutely bonkers.

It wasn't a masterpiece by any means but they did a good job of keeping you hanging on to get the answers to your questions.

You're right, Kidman really was nuts in this.

But I think Michael Shannon (Napoleon) stole the show. I think he played his role perfectly and was really able to nail his character's grief in a realistic way.

It didn't end anywhere close to how I thought it was gonna end. But it was still fine.

I have become to really not like mutli-episode documentaries but this one was worth six episodes.

Shows how terrible Texas legal system is. Also hurts because you know there must be tons of cases like this and they don't get the attention because its not a good looking football player with white support.

What a fiendishly clever plot, and a perfect illustration of just how dangerous religious fanaticism can be.

Last episode was almost laughably bad as they tried to tie it all up but still, highly recommended.

It's horror but hardly any jump scares and very little gore.

To a bunch of super religious people, its highly plausible that they don't believe in vampires. So as far as they are concerned the only logical conclusion is that the creature is an angel (complete with bible verses to prove it)

For stories like this, and ones on Dateline, I’m constantly screaming at my TV “JUST GET A FUCKING DIVORCE!” Like, there aren’t that many crimes that police aren’t solving, at some point. They may not immediately figure shit out, but if they press the right people hard enough, the truth comes out.

I’ll never understand the level of dumbassery that leads to thinking “I’m gonna kill this person so we can be together!” or “I’m gonna kill for this $100K insurance policy” that can’t even afford a whole house, in most states.

I really thought I wasn't going to like it but definitely gave me new thoughts on what DV could look like. Could have been easy to caricature but every character felt real....Also my sister in law is in it.

494. "Promising Young Woman"
In response to Reply # 0
Tue Oct-12-21 04:21 PM by Nodima

  

          

I totally get why this movie was so divisive. I thought it had some really good ideas, and some really bad ones, never getting the tone fully right to wind up where it ultimately did.



------

2.5/5

Ultimately glad I waited to see this at home.

The romantic comedy portion is pretty boilerplate, in a way that feels intended to be subversive for audiences but instead feels subversive to the material itself.

Meanwhile, the thriller aspects are also intensely indebted to the message they want to sell, b-movie grade nose candy for audiences clamoring for this sort of thing.

And I was that audience! Remained so for months and months, in fact. Not even The Ringer's Amanda Dobbins' outright dismissal of this film could curtail my interest in it.

Here's where I say, from the moment I saw Clancy Brown and Jennifer Coolidge next to each other, I couldn't help but want for this to turn into an Easy A for the adults in the room. They deserved a couple Clarkson/Tucci moments.

There's plenty to dig into, too. The artificial technicolor presentation of Cassie's world plays like crazy, and asking Mulligan to do this schtick off the likes of Mintz-Plasse, Brody, Brie, Burnham (b-b-b) and so on is a strong stroke of casting. To their credit, they all know what they're doing here and don't hold back.

The trouble for me, ultimately, is that the core competency of Cassie is so far removed from a truly horrific villain - the gene therapy of The Fly, the damned id of Halloween - that one has trouble removing parody from true societal pain. Promising Young Woman is so wanting of its importance that it often misses the opportunities it has to be one of two really, really emotionally engaging trips. Whether crushing a trashcan with her foot or lipsyncing to Paris Hilton, Mulligan sells this character. It's just that the movie can't help but be confused by her.

There's a gleeful malevolence to this film that cuts through the schlock and admits what the best version of Promising Young Woman is - particularly when Cassie is interacting with other women - but all too often Fennell's script just can't help itself and strains to explain what it's doing. This level of contrast is on its fullest display when considering the Brie and Molina scenes on equal footing. Neither find their full voice, but only one feels lived in.

And then there's 15 minutes of this movie that are both impeccably acted yet morally reprehensible in a way that's, well, considerable if not defensible.

There's a dream of a movie here. It's just buried in desperate ambition, a mindstate fully understandable given the state of the reality in which it was produced.

The little lady wanted to see this based on the hype so I watched it with her.

Man, I really enjoyed this. It's goofy & corny but it's a solid little mystery show. It ended up being a fun take on true crime podcasts.

I didn't think they were going to talk about race when it started off with two black actors I don't associate with black stories.

Not bad - some episodes are really good - some are blah.

But the amount of characters you get to know is handled in a great way.

539. "Only thing I didn’t like was the early gang scenes"
In response to Reply # 532


  

          

That made me look up info on the screenwriter who, as I suspected, was white. You don’t roll up on people like that unless you expect ALL the smoke.

More realistic is they get back in the car and go home

And TF gang members hang out at the tennis court and heckle people who play tennis? Compton is a largely middle class city. Venus and Serena wouldn’t have been the only people playing there.

The Williams family as a whole was portrayed with no connection to the rest of Compton. No family friends, no cousins/uncles/aunts. It’s like an inversion of Akeelah and the Bee.

Once you get past that first 20-30 minutes or so, the movie is pretty good, consistently.

I did find the bangers periodically racing onto the scene of the tennis court hilarious throughout the movie

“He with you?” LOL

Peace,

542. "the gang stuff has been documented and written about repeatedly."
In response to Reply # 539


          

theres nothing to not believe. its all been out there way before this movie.

richard wrote about it. serena wrote about it. local journalists wrote about it. national media wrote about it when they first started getting wind of the sisters. local compton politicians told the same story. and so on.

richard had some teeth knocked out during one of those fights with gang members. they eventually did start protecting the girls during practice (there were pics of this back in the day).

i was a big tennis player and fan and remember most of this vividly.

im not sure why you wouldnt believe they were getting harassed. i grew up playing tennis in a non-gang-affiliated rough part of a majority black city. and yes niggas would fuck with people at the park for no reason. thats what some niggas do. ive seen people get heckled, rocks thrown at em, get mushed, get jumped, get robbed, etc.

if you think none of that was taking place in 90s COMPTON…i dont know what to tell you. i mean…their sister was killed by a crip in the early 00s so that was clearly the environment.

585. "I found them convincing"
In response to Reply # 539


  

          

I'm from South Central & Compton from the late 80s, early 90s

They felt real up to the point of them having direct dialog with each other.

The look, the cars, the vibe of them just sitting around talking shit...I remember that. The only thing that felt off was the blueline tracks by the court. Depending on the year that was supposed to be, that's either off by some years or correct.

the 6 after the 1st episode are only 30 mins long.

its worth it just for the silliness of the last episode lol.

in general...kevin harts dramatic acting is always good for a few laughs. cuz dude really be serious like he isnt just playing kevin hart lmao.

(1st episode spoiler)



i couldnt stop laughing at the way his little legs were shuffling when he was strangling ari from behind the chair. he *really* tried to sell that shit lol.

It mostly comes off like he's trying to sell himself. I work hard, i grind out here. i take care of my people. I'm self made. Y'all just don't know what goes into this.

In response to Reply # 553


  

          

the twist was super obvious.

every time KH did some action hero shit made for good unintentional comedy.

the Billie character was either pointless or wasted.

Wesley was solid.

fun enough for a background watch on a quiet work day lol.

the dialogue is weak as fuck

3 eps in
Opener is really strong, and now it feels slightly disjointed.
Like i feel like i walked into season 2 and not 1. I don't really understand why the "Mayor" has this kind of juice, but i assume it will be explained in time. Def gonna keep going though

First episode was okay. The next three move at a breakneck speed. I can't imagine they can keep this pace up, but episodes 2-3-4 are fire!

And, it's a fantasy show that prominently features people of color! I love the casting except for that the darkest person on the show thus far is a villain. But, that aside we've got poc all throughout the cast. Almost unheard of in fantasy adaptations.

ted lasso, the tom hanks movies, the banker, coda, palmer, for all mankind…

those are the ones i’d recommend. the 1st seasons of morning show and servant were an ok watch if you have time to waste.

606. "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power"
In response to Reply # 0


          

I like it for what it is, warts and all. I just started season 2. My favorite characters so far are Glimmer and Swift Wind. I love that there are all kinds of girls and women show that they can be:

warriors/fighters
heroes
brave
villians
intelligent
stupid
kind
friends
in relationship
loyal
ethical
virtuous
fallen
evil
etc

However you are a girl or a woman, is accepted in this show's universe--shape, size, body type, orientation, interests, family background etc.

I especially like how pretty some of the powers and clothes and hair are! The glitter, shimmer, glimmer, and colors totally lured me in! Glimmer's outfits and hair are so amazing to me!

I love the technology angle of the show, too.

Adora/She-Ra is a little annoying to me. But. I let it go, for the most part. Whenever Adora changes into She-Ra, I think how much better it would be if She-Ra had ginormous 4c hair.

It's refreshing to see girls and women taking the journey and having experiences that seem to be male-centric in the world of the superhero imaginary.

In response to Reply # 610
Thu Dec-30-21 09:11 PM by jane eyre

          

Sort Of's story telling is sincere and heartwarming.

The main character, Sebi, is a first generation, Pakistani-Canadian, nonbinary, transfeminine (I think), Muslim that's a manny for a mixed race family, somewhere in Canada. There's a lot of depth to unpack. The show's creator, Bilal Baig, who also plays Sebi, manages to do a lot in 8 episodes. They've created something specific and special and good.

The show dishes out the typical "life your life and be yourself" fare, but the journey to get there is shaped by Sebi's family, culture, and set of experiences. And it's not super preachy. I liked getting to watch somebody telling a familiar type of story from a very different angle (different to me).

618. "The Great"
In response to Reply # 0


          

I had ZERO interest in The Great but I watched 2 episodes on Hulu out of boredom one night. I'm hooked! The show is a funny, witty, dramatic, absurd, and soap opera-ish look at the rise and reign of Catherine the Great. The Great plays fast and loose with history, so if historical accuracy is your thing, this show might not be your cup of tea.

Also, just because of the time of year...but also because it's nice to have some uplift, my family and I have been looking for feel good, wholesome, family viewing. That's hard to do because all of our viewing tastes are pretty different!

We all liked:
Atypical
Friday Night Lights (which none of us had ever watched---I know!)

My mom and I liked (and binged):
Anne with an E

I liked:
Lily and Dash

I'm thinking of watching Orphan Black again and seeing if the family will watch it with me. They'll probably hate it, though. Some will think it's too dark and not wholesome enough, some will hate the sci-fi storyline, on and on. Oh well.

I went to the Evel Knievel museum in November, and that sparked my interest.

Wasn't what I was expecting from the movie going in. Now I want to see the original.

very good, very funny. Loved the writing. When he did the A.I. "Practice" scene, I was dying.

638. "Grand Crew, American Auto, Abbott Elementary…"
In response to Reply # 0


          

wife and I added these to our DVR and binged all the eps, recently…like 4 eps each.
Grand Crew was a lot better than I expected. The chunky dude is kind of annoying, but there’s some good writing and Nicole Byer is funny.

American Auto is really clever. It feels like The Office and that familiarity is probably why I like it. Wife was like, eh.

Abbott Elementary is flat out hilarious. We were legit cackling, on numerous occasions. Quinta Brunson, who plays the main character, also the executive producer and a writer on the show.

that damn principal has to win an award for her character.

I tried Grand Crew and it felt like the show has white writers. Not sure what it is but I couldn’t get into it. Maybe I’ll circle back and try again.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Im a sucker for a good western, and this series is GREAT! I never watched Yellowstone so I dont know what the connection is. (I know its supposed to be a prequel) But this is amazing as a stand alone.

never watched even an ep, before. I always knew it was a show I wanted to watch and would eventually get around to. It's not perfect. There's some things about it that made me want to pull my hair out. I almost bailed mid-Season 4, but I was too invested. I like some of the subtle and obvious nods to The Office. Good show. I'd definitely throw it in my "laying around doing nothing" repeat box with The Office, Parks and Rec, King of Queens, etc.
