RedEyedGhost Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 34 minutes ago, WarGalley said: Have you seen Patriot? I would recommend checking out the pilot. I've been meaning to watch Goliath with Billy Bob Thornton too at some point. I watched the pilot after work the day it was released and fell asleep - I don't think that had anything to do with the show's quality, but it is coloring my opinion of it and I haven't worked up to trying it again yet. I keep meaning to try Goliath too, and now I'm wondering if I ever finished season 2 of Hand of God. I keep hearing good things about The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but haven't had the time to try it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its a slowburner but its a show I reserved for when my wife was late or nightshift and I was off the next day, and could watch it with a bottle of wine, the lights off and candles lit. I really like Taboo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it another take on SyFy's The Dresden Files, except set in LA and with Will Smith, so, then, Dresden Files lite? Well, Dresden was wizard who helped the police, and this cop buddy duo are, well, cops . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 The initial conceit - modern race relations in a fantasy world - sounds intriguing. I can't imagine it being something the general populace would ever be interested in. Even Smith, whose face guaranteed a hundred million dollar movie for a long stretch of his career, couldn't make the trailer look anything less than dreadful. I've already seen several very negative reviews, including a few putting it on the shortlist of worst films of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarGalley Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Very disappointed to hear that about Bright. It looked gorgeous visually and the premise seemed like it had a lot of potential. I'll probably still check it out to be sure but going to set my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martell Spy Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Peaky Blinders off to a good new season it appears. I tried Quarry after I saw people talking about it on here. Definitely was a good suggestion. Good visuals and surprising story choices. Has a real No Country for Old Men vibe to it. Also makes good use of the era. I'm a couple eps into season 1. Mr. Robot completely killed it in season 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I watched Curse of the Black Pearl for the first time since it came out. Enjoyed it as much as I did when i was a kid aside from one or two moments. Quality blockbuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawkcabi Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Two parts in on SFDebris' "Hermit's Journey". Holy Shit. It's the best defense of George Lucas I've ever heard. And he's doing it not by defending the merits of the prequels but by putting Lucas in a position of not deliberately ruining Star Wars for ego or for whatever reasons, but as a competent writer/director that along with some serious but understandable miscalculations had to make the least worst of decisions as his only option many times. Doesn't change that the prequels were still very bad. But it makes them more of a regrettable tragedy than a reckless disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 The problem is Lucas is that when making the OT he had people not afraid to criticise. With the PT he surrounded himself with people who didn't. He wasnt a huge fan of Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was the last stopgap that failed the prequels. What SF Debris is doing is showing what he thinks Lucas' mindset was and backing it up with examples. It's not trying to say the prequels were good just "here's what happened", how Lucas was capable but just totally messed up. I don't buy all of it. But i do find it all interesting.

Martini Sigil Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 We went to see The Shape of Water, mainly because Neil Gaiman said it was the best movie he'd seen in years.... I liked it more than my wife did... Poor Michael Shannon has been type cast as the uptight asshole....lol.... I love Octavia Spencer... Richard Jenkins was fantastic..... But ultimately this film was carried by Sally Hawkins, who, I thought, was a really strong lead... Guillermo del Toro really knows how to tell a story....

DireWolfSpirit Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 So I finally finished Godless. This Western worked for me, especially scenery wise, it was exactly what youd hope for, really good job with the settings and vista shots which really can be so important overall.
