WarGalley Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I re-watched the 2010 version of True Grit by the Coens Brothers. I really love this movie. The dialogue and characters (especially Barry pepper playing Ned Pepper) are top notch and it's just a beautiful western all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowKnight Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I watched the latest episode of The Expanse and it was great. I absolutely love this show. I haven't read the books though so I can't participate in the dedicated thread for it. Spoiler Although I am sad to see Miller go as he was easily my favourite character. And the one with the most glorious haircut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First of My Name Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 On 25-2-2017 at 4:25 PM, HelenaExMachina said: Ha, you went into Downton with the wrong expectations then I liked it but it was quite often more like a period soap. There are always some questionable storylines, but there is one in particular (I think in season 4-6?) which i felt well handled. I'm half hoping they actually lose possession of Downton because that may be the most interesting direction the story can go, force the Crawleys out of their comfort zone and into the real world, but given the name of the show I doubt it's going to happen.

To my recollection the first episode Reveal hidden contents featured Anna and Mary shuffling the corpse of a visiting aristocrat across the landing after he tried to have sex with Mary. I think it was always soap-y absurdness and the first episode set the expectations in that regard That's the fourth episode, but yeah, I get your point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromech Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 The Shallows. I don't really have anything really good to say about this other than Blake Lively being awfully easy on the eyes. I guess the seagull was cool, for a seagull, anyways. Just watched the second episode of HBO's Big Little Lies. What a guilty pleasure. Every aspect of this show I would normally hate from the precocious kids, to the extreme helicopter moms and the whole bubble in which they live. However, it just works so well for this series. And Reese Witherspoon giving me flashbacks to her Tracy Flick from Election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isis Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Have been watching the (badly aged) Anthony Bourdain series on Netflix (I'm blanking on the name of the show). It's the first series but the shows seem to jump all over the place in time (2003-1999, back and forth). The episode when he happily watched ducks being force fed corn to make foie gras, and then just went on about how good it tastes was really difficult to watch. But it is interesting to see how some things, e.g. nose to tail eating seem so 'out there' to this chef who has a restaurant in NYC. I guess the US doesn't know everything there is to know about cooking after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really like that film as well, whenever it's on I feel compelled to watch it. I watched Brooklyn last week. Very good film, really nice atmospheric setting and a good story. 4 stars out of 5.

I changed the title to indicate book spoilers only for what is current with the TV show, but yes early parts of that thread violates that. You can join it safely if you do not page back to earlier parts of the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm really enjoying this season of Homeland. I have no freaking idea what's going on, but it's really fun. I blame it all on Dar Adal. I've always thought he was shady as fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I finished season 1 of The Missing and really enjoyed it. Top notch acting all around. The last episode was really well done and an emotional roller coaster. Looking forward to season 2. My only gripe: Spoiler No way a fox would approach a group of loud and drunk humans.

Mark Antony Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Rewatched season four of The Americans in preparation for season 5 next week. Probably the show im most hype to see coming back and there are a few good ones these next couple months. Think im going to watch season one of the Italian series Gomorrah next as its on Netflix now or I just never noticed it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh boy. They must have just put that up because I would've noticed that. The movie's been on my Saved list for some time now and I've just been waiting for the right time for it. Anyone know if there's any preference in watching the movie or the TV show first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can watch the series or film in any order. They aren't really related other than both dealing with the mob in Naples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 2 was frustrating, especially the Court stuff because i just kept thinking "no, no no no no no!" From what I unserstand season 3 is an entirely new case though, which is a welcome change to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
