And it turns out that Endeavour's final season is very very good. I wasn't expecting that. Edited June 28, 2023 by Zorral Isis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Asteroid City Meh. I need to rewatch before I make a final judgment. Not my favorite Wes Anderson film. His films usually have a comedic energy that was strangely missing from this one. Star Trek: Prodigy episode 1 was really good. The art style reminds me a little of Clone Wars.

polishgenius Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Finally watched the Mario movie. Good fun. Nothing deep or complicated or in any way pushing any boundary whatsoever, but it managed to be an entertaining tribute to the games without trying to make the premise into something it's not, while still functioning for the needs of a movie. Isn't gonna live hugely long in the memory, but I enjoyed it. Plus it's very pretty to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 So the final season of Jack Ryan came out today? Caught me completely by surprise. I don't remember seeing any trailers for it and I feel like I watched the last season a few weeks ago. dbunting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that this show has been on a downhill slope since season 1. But I'm watching it since it's the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CityApache Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) Bugger, I didn't know the last season of Yellowstone was divided into two parts. Just finished what is available of it and was shocked by the ending. And there's not even a date set for the second part yet? Also, apart from the spin-offs, there is also going to be a sequel, but without Costner? Edited June 30, 2023 by 3CityApache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhaenysBee Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) I’m watching The Idol and contrary to expectations, I don’t hate it. The male lead is atrocious and pretty much weighs down the entire series. But Lily Rose Depp is actually excellent which was a pleasant surprise for me. The writing has a lot of potential even though it’s also balancing on the same edge of depth and commercialization the story is about. It was an intriguing watch.

Well episode 4 was definitely a slide downward the slope. But I do think it had something before it was suffocated with shock value and superficial tropes.

Mindwalker Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I've been very pleased with Silo. And the season finale made sure to answer the biggest or at least most urgent question, while opening up many more. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess ... JR got back to D.C. all right then? Instead of the second ep of Witcher, which is what I'd planned to watch, I watched the first ep. of this season 4. Alas, I know we are going to get some prolonged torture scenes in the future. But we also get Mexico, always a plus. And, maybe? that same Asian casino with the Komodo dragons in Skyfall.

Mentat Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I saw 'This world won't bring me down' (Questo mondo non mi rendera cattivo) on Netflix. It's a series about a 39 year old comic artist living in a poor neighbourhood in the outskirts of Rome. For a 6 episode cartoon series, I thought it had far more complexity and depth than it had any right to. Much recommended (and, if possible, I recommend the original Italian dubbing with subtitles).

Heartofice Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Emily the Criminal , definitely worth watching , Aubrey Plaza is watchable in anything so that’s why I took a chance on this movie. It’s a nice story that touches on modern working practices and the way the economy totally fucks people over to the point where the only option is to break the law. It’s nothing game changing and I’ll probably forget I ever watched it but I liked it. dbunting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Black Mirror: Joan is Awful Yeah this confirmed my feelings about Black Mirror post Netflix. It was entertaining, fun, pretty enjoyable, famous faces… .. but it’s insight and commentary on technology were not that deep or interesting. It was mainly just going for the entertainment vibe.. which is fine but that’s kind of how I feeling about most of these episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Finished Black Mirror tonight. Loved every minute, plot holes be damned. For me, this is the best ever season, but I am a big horror fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Jaws, a holiday weekend tradition. The Mayor really is an all-time villain. Also an example of the movie being a lot better than the book. Spockydog, dbunting and Isis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also finally met someone from the film (I go to a lot of horror conventions, Comic-Con’s, etc) in Richard Dreyfuss. Unfortunately he was a bit of a dick. One of the only bad interactions I’ve ever had with a celebrity tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoy hearing the good and bad stories from my friends and family who work in the industry. Now if one of them can just meet Jeff Goldblum god damnit! I want to know what he's like because I'm guessing weirder than Nic Cage, but financially more responsible. Anyways, I'd love to see Jaws in IMAX. Fuck, I'd love to see the very shitty Jaws 4 in IMAX. However, don't waste your time with The Black Demon. I wanted it to be good, but it sucks.

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Nimona What a cool movie. Great humor. Great voice cast, really appealing visual style. Good story. Some really emotional moments. Definitely one of the better animated films I’ve seen this year. Recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
