Seanny One Ball 11-23-2021 10:12 AM

I’ll start it soon. Need to watch Fargo season 4 too, new Curb Your Enthusiasm and I’m currently rewatching every James Bond film...

drave 11-23-2021 11:33 AM

Need to get caught up on the last to Daniel Craig 007 films. Did not care for Tim Dalton.

Seanny One Ball 11-23-2021 12:16 PM

Timothy Dalton is my favourite Bond...

I must have seen “The Living Daylights” twenty times. I actually started my marathon with it, I’ll be ending with “License To Kill” just to bookend it with greatness.

Moonraker is actually a comedy spy film IMO. I just watched it again today and it has all the elements of a great Pink Panther film. “A Shot Into Space” or something...

drave 11-23-2021 12:20 PM

LOL - Moonraker definitely felt like a Spoof. 100% was waiting to see Leslie Nielsen pop up in there somewhere.

Watched a few full episodes of "Who's The Boss" on YouTube.

slik 11-23-2021 05:40 PM

Mona

Mona was the real boss

Seanny One Ball 11-24-2021 03:15 PM

They should do a game show called “Who’s The Bus?” where they line up say ten coaches and a contestant has to figure out which one is actually a bus.

That’s a show where the Netflix 2 seasons theory would make a lot of sense.

Watching “Bill Burr Presents Immoral Compass”, a series of shorts presented in an anthology with episodes containing skits that reflect the theme Burr’s character “Ricky” is bitching about.

The skits are pretty funny so far, not as shocking as they could be but they are well played however the monologues by Ricky are excellent.

The Fraze 11-24-2021 05:03 PM

Honestly crazy to me how famous Bill Burr has become. It's no longer "cool" or "unique" to say he's my favorite comedian.

Seanny One Ball 11-25-2021 01:17 PM

That’s the price of popularity.

Fignuts 11-27-2021 08:02 PM

Arcane on Netflix.

3 episodes in. Very impressed so far. And I had zero experience or interest in league of legends going in.

Speaking of Bill Burr, we finished F is for Family on Netflix today. Tremendous.

Been watching the final season of Supergirl. This show is just soooooooo preachy sometimes.

drave 11-29-2021 09:16 AM

sometimes?




Go watch more Westworld and question your existence instead.

drave 11-29-2021 10:20 AM

Netflix's Cowboy Bebop thoroughly enjoyable thus far :D

Been watching Tom Lasso (via illicit means). It's a fucking shame it's on Apple+, because this deserves more recognition while simultaneously not giving Apple more goddamn money.

Much like Brockmire, it took a one-off sports joke and became an entire universe unto itself. It's written well, the song choices are very deliberate, and *nearly* every character is a whole person (except maybe Rupert) with their flaws and charms.

And Roy Kent is the fucking best.

Also, a joke that isn't really a joke unless you know about it, the series starts with a Division 2 championship win by the Wichita State football team. Problem is, Wichita State hasn't had a football team in decades. And with both the influx of alumni money (read: Koch Brothers) and how much they usually rake in from both basketball and, surprisingly, baseball, that's not likely to change anytime soon. They're like to polar opposite of Marshall with that decision.

Fignuts 11-30-2021 06:16 AM

Finished watching Arcane

Write me down for a Dave Meltzer 7 out of 5 stars. So well done.

drave 11-30-2021 08:54 AM

Dude, I started that last night. Watched the first 4 episodes and WOW!!! I know nothing of the game, but this show is fantastic. Well written, fast-paced and man, lots of unexpected and sudden moments!


Will be watching more.

Season 2 sucked after 3 episodes.... are you telling me to watch it again, Tom?

I feel like Sudeikis is having a mid-life crisis with this show. It’s like tea with ten sugars

ive started this based on your recommendation. so far i hate the art style but like it overall. one ep in though so the plot hasnt really started yet

drave 12-01-2021 09:48 AM

By ep 3 the plot has moved TONS.




Good show, on ep 6

Destor 12-01-2021 09:54 AM

im def not judging its plot yet let it get out of the 1st act at least. i like the characters

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-01-2021 01:46 PM

Finished rewatching the two seasons of Rome. A marvellous show, which would have been much better if they had allowed it to run for the 4-5 seasons as originally intended. The second season is a bit of a mess and rushed, as they tried to cram in stories from the other seasons that didn't go ahead. Shame.

I'm into the second half of Foundation, as suggested by Seanny of the One True Ball. I'm enjoying it, but the show is fairly run of the mill; it's no The Expanse.

Seanny One Ball 12-01-2021 09:14 PM

Funnily enough I gave up on Foundation for being a bit too soap-opera-in-space for my liking. It looked tits after the opening episode but it went a bit too heavy on the extra plot lines.
Asimov reads like an encyclopaedia entry, even in dialogue. The show should have presented it as such. It should be like a serious “Hitchhiker’s Guide”, that’s the only way to do it.

Seanny One Ball 12-01-2021 09:17 PM

I am going to give The Expanse a proper go someday. I just need to find something to matinee it with. Seems like a lot to get through...

Seanny One Ball 12-01-2021 09:53 PM

The only really weak thing in this new season of Dexter is the presence of Ghost-Deb.
That fucking face just ruins everything. Always getting angry and never twenty seconds away from crying like a fuckwit. She was never a great addition so I have no idea why they decided that a dead and somehow even more neurotic version was necessary...

Lock Jaw 12-03-2021 01:51 AM

Want to watch Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas..... but alas it is on "The Roku Channel" (where it will fail miserably because who has that?).... can't even find it anywhere online....

Lock Jaw 12-03-2021 01:14 PM

Just finished watching it.... shame at not being able to see some of these stories play out over the course of a season 3 instead of jammed into a movie.... was still enjoyable and good to see them back at all. Too bad that very few people will get to see it....

Seanny One Ball 12-03-2021 07:17 PM

Started watching “Channel Zero” because I was in the mood for a more legitimate horror and I can’t keep going back to AHS when all it does is lead me to disappointment.
First episode is good...very tense and seemingly has roots in rational fears. Hopefully if it gets weird it goes big.

Seanny One Ball 12-03-2021 07:26 PM

This is going to be fucked up isn’t it...

Paul Schneider was a great choice for this.

Seanny One Ball 12-03-2021 08:28 PM

Yeah this is pretty messed up stuff, I like it. Nice early twists and turns!

Seanny One Ball 12-03-2021 08:30 PM

Not sure about the tooth thing though...

Fignuts 12-04-2021 11:36 PM

Channel Zero >>>>>>>>AHS

The first season is good, but probably the weakest of the bunch.

Fignuts 12-04-2021 11:38 PM

Also, I've watched a few episodes of creepshow on shudder and it's pretty great. One off episodes, like tales from the crypt.

Seanny One Ball 12-05-2021 03:40 AM

Second season of Channel Zero reminds me a of AHS in some ways. The music is very similar...

El Vaquero de Infierno 12-06-2021 04:42 PM

Finished watching the short-lived BBC series, Banished, which is a drama set at the Botany Bay penal colony. I don't tend to be the biggest fan of BBC dramas, though I've watched a number of them as of late, but I found it rather watchable. Sadly, it was cancelled after 1 season.

I've been occasionally watching episodes from another BBC series, Ripper Street, which is a Victorian detective series set in Whitechapel (London), and centres around a detective haunted by his inability to catch Jack the Ripper. I can't decide whether I like it or not; waiting for it to grab me.

I need to find something to watch that will tide me over until the new series of The Witcher and The Expanse are out.

Lock Jaw 12-06-2021 11:59 PM

Started the final five episodes of Casa de Papel/Money Heist. Two down, and enjoying it... things moving on....
