Ramsay B. Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 I saw The Northman. Spoiler I liked it but wished they got to the farm a little later. I was expecting more viking wildness throughout. My expectations were probably a little too high for this one. I watched the first 2 episodes of Outer Range. I’m intrigued with the mystery and the cast is good. I’m in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one berserker raid we did get was pretty good though. It definitely wasn’t what I expected out of a Viking movie, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Ramsay B. Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Ha, I just recommended The 13th Warrior to a youngin at work who saw and loved The Northman. Such a great movie. I wish I could learn an entire language from one drunken night of listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Winning time is excellent. Also nice that it's the first thing I've seen Avon Barksdale in since The Wire finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is in Justified he and his brother - Steve Harris of The Practice fame - play a brother duo of low level drug dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvinus85 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The 13th Warrior is a superb action movie with a bit of mystery thriller. The Northman is something else. The Northman also has a funeral ritual scene and it doesn't shy away from the gruesome part. (Though it wisely not include the rape part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I watched Stop Making Sense. Amazon Prime's blurb for it described it as the great concert movie ever made and I don't think I've really seen enough concert movies to judge the accuracy of that but David Byrne definitely has a unique stage presence and there's a lot of energy throughout the performance.

Well, it was during the fifth season, which otherwise was easily the worst and most forgettable season. Having the brothers be the main villains instead of the cliched Crowes woulda made it a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 The only drawback of making the brothers the main villains is potentially screwing up one of my favorite things about Justified. Not only is it totally ridiculous and unrealistic how many people Raylan kills in a relatively short period of time (the timeframe is very unclear, but Winona is pregnant for two full seasons). The best part is he's the only LEO in US history that almost exclusively kills white males. Of the 29 victims listed on Raylan's wiki, I count only four POC (Ernesto, Jody Adair, Elvis Machado, and - of course - Choo Choo) and one woman (the adorable Layla). That's a sparkling 82.8% white male kill rate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'd gladly pay for it every time. It's a shame the film wasn't a bigger hit. My mom used to watch it and The Ghost and the Darkness all the time when I was a kid. The only thing I recall her watching more was Alien/Aliens, Jaws and the X-Files. Probably explains why Jurassic Park is my favorite movie.
