Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 7 hours ago, Astromech said: Alien Covenant was just ok for me. Entertaining enough to not be a waste of two hours, but repetitive, as this franchise can be. Didn't buy the actors in their roles, especially Danny McBride, and the twist was obvious. I really like McBride, but he can only play one role: Danny McBride. It's why Eastbound & Down and Vice Principles were so great while some of his other projects have been less than I had hoped for. I am curious to see what he does with Halloween though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I am about to give the hottest take ever given in these movie threads. The last three movies I've watched are Three Billboards, Lady Bird, and Wet Hot American Summer. I liked the last one the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed... this flick was a pleasant surprise... Right now Hulu has three really good shows running.... The Path, The Looming Tower, and Hard Sun... Right now, we're really into Counterpart, The Alienist, & McMafia,... The Magicians is always fun... the Assassination of Gianni Versace is really well done... Biggie & Tupac is shaping up nicely Homeland is a trainwreck this season... Bellvue is a real disappointment... Jury is still out on Shoot the Messenger...

WarGalley Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Didn't realize Wind River just came on Netflix (which I'm surprised of for some reason). I thought there had been a lot of people watching it lately. Gonna save that one for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Sheridan’s name attached to something pretty much guarantees quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing though how little discussion of it there is online...like several sites that I regularly visit that talk about all kinds of TV have never mentioned it as far as I can tell which seems crazy for an hour long Sunday night HBO drama. I suppose that's better than being Vinyl where people talk about how bad it is. I’m a big fan of Alan Ball, at least for Six Feet Under and American Beauty, but I just can’t be bothered to try Here and Now. Doesn’t look interesting to me at all.

dbunting Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Watched Everything Sucks this week. Not the best High School series ever but not the worst either. It caught my attention enough that I finished it in two days. Spoiler Have to say they put those child actors in some pretty risque scenes that most movies and tv series wouldn't do, or I just am not thinking of. Liked most of the characters and with the exception of one kid they all did a good acting job, IMO. Also watched Game Night at the movies this week. Good enough for a matinee, not good enough for full price movie! Typical expected situations and "twists" but still good for a few laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a snow day tonight so I just watched Blade Runner 2049 for the first time since the theatres, and still love it. I attemped to watch The Lost City of Z but it froze up for whatever reason. I'm about to give it another go. Anyone ever see Z for Zachariah? Was just curious to see if it's worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I've been watching BBC's Fall of Troy: My feelings so far: Episode 1: Man this is dull. Will I even continue? Episode 2: Oh this is a lot better. Lots of important characters are introduced, lots of things happening, we are seeing Agamemnon, Odysseus. Episode 3: We're back to plodding storytelling and a great lack of interesting material again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Altered Carbon was the last I saw him in before starting s3 of Hap and Leonard. I much prefer Purefoy as Hap Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that hurts it for me was the hype. It was over promised and under delivered, but that's in part to me hearing so many people say it was a perfect movie. Also, Quote Danny McBride was the least of Alien Covenants problem. I'm not saying that he was. It's just whenever you see him he's always play the same character, and while I really like it in some settings, it doesn't play well in others.

I usually just buy movies off of Itunes for my cloud(which makes it even weirder that it froze up). I started watching it last night but fell asleep like a half hour in. It wasn't boring I was just tired. I'll finish it tonight hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it in IMAX3D in the theater and absolutely loved the look of it. Roger Deakins deserved that Oscar so hard for this film. It wasn't just a "gimme" for his past work. Z for Zachariah was just okay in my book. The cast is great, but the story didn't really live up to its potential. It was meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
