Hap and Leonard are in usual form. "Sorry, I never finished my degree in bear dicks" "Oh, now you're just being modest, Hap." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 It's going to bother me all weekend I can't watch the just released seasons of Sneaky Pete or Jessica Jones yet. At least I can make time to watch the new episode of Atlanta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I have a hard time remembering his name and everytime I see him, all I can think of is his small role in A Knight's Tale.

I've only read about recs on this board. I enjoyed The Lost City of Z. Great story. It also reminded me I'm long overdue for a Raiders of the Lost Ark rewatch.

"Take a knee" One of my favorite Purefoy roles was Solomon Kane. His performance elevates that movie way above the sum of its parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Sneaky Pete is just going to edge it for me too. I can’t binge watch at the minute and that is my preferred method for Marvel shows (otherwise I tend to get bored and drop them around Episode 5 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same boat. 2 episodes left of Altered Carbon but then my list of shows is long (and I didn't even finish Manhunt: Unabomber which was getting interesting). I think Sneaky Pete wins over JJ and Manhunter... and also want to see Lady Bird, Shape of Water and Black Panther before they leave theaters. And I know I'm going to love Wind River which is on netflix now. Way too much cinema to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Jessica Jones's second season is much more interesting than the first one. It has substituted depth for the suspense and terror of the Big Bad Kilgrave. It's also like an origin story -- though not quite. And there is a Big Bad, though its not immediately revealed, and it's really not what one suspects, though by the time it is revealed one has been provided with enough plausible clues to have suspicion. This arc is tightly and admirably plotted. There are other story threads though that aren't quite so seamless or with outcomes that aren't so plausible. Have three more episodes to go. This is binge watching and I've never been compelled to do that before, except, maybe with The Last Kingdom -- and even then three eps in a row were the most I could handle. IOW, this season of JJ moves very fast and keeps pulling the viewer along to the next thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hmm starting the first episode of Sneaky Pete but the Season 1 re-cap reminds me that there was a lot of plotlines I don't remember and seem to be important in S2. Not sure if I should do a S1 re-watch first.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished the first episode and they put a good punch in there. I couldn't remember how serious the show gets, but they definitely reminded me. I've also forgotten all of the plotlines involving each of the family members so really considering doing a S1 re-watch or finding a more detailed recap some where. Also forgot that Bryan Cranston, Graham Yost and Adam Arkin (for the season 2 opening at least) are all involved in the production of this show. And yeah, Giovanni Ribisi should get more acclaim for this role. Amazon is absolutely terrible at marketing their shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I'm not even halfway through the first season and this 'Sneaky Pete' is some real shit. I feel so silly that I considered watching it a few weeks ago and just kinda shrugged at the title. Bryan Cranston is doing some fucking incredible blend of Don Corleone and Al Capone and it is RIVETING. I doubted. I really did. I took a glance at the summary and thought 'eh, Cryanston doing the Gangster thing?' I apologize. I'm gonna make like Anthony Hopkins and send this man a letter about how he's inspired me to perfect my craft. That dude sent me into a goddamn emotional tailspin. This show is awesome! They don't subvert expectations, they ramp them into a confirmational orgasm of cinematic bliss. I legit sat there spellbound as Cranston told a story that went on WAY too long for an outcome I'd sorta expected while constantly flicking my eyes to my computer clock because SNL was due to start at any moment. But I dared not pause, because Cranston is a genius. And the people writing for him are brilliant beyond compare. Imagine Tarantino letting a character own the room with a more subtle touch. That's highest praise to both, of course. Tarantino uses tension and extended focus on a single subject to great effect, it's just interesting to see it happen in a more muted scene.

Mexal Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Cranston is the best part of Sneaky Pete. Super compelling villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
