OT: TV and Movies

[MickeyDavis]

Just finished the book Pines and I’m starting Wayward, I like them so far and wondered how the show Wayward Pines was?

I really liked the first season. I had not read the books so i went in not knowing anything. Season 2 wasn't as good.

How was it predictable if one page ago you wrote you were going into the finale with no guess as to where it was heading?

I agree that episode 6 wasn’t as good as the first 5. It didn’t have as many laughs as it wound down. I wonder how they will do season 2. Is it all new guests at the resort? That is a big risk, because the hotel staff, minus Armand, don’t really carry the show. And most of the guests, who are the entertainment of the show, don’t have reason to come back to the resort, unless they pull some plot twist to get them back. So do you follow those characters back home?

The first 5 featured some twists and surprises and the finale had neither. The fact that it was telegraphed the whole season that Shane would kill Armond I thought there's no way that's what would actually happen. That would be predictable. And then that's exactly what happened. Meh.

I thought it was telegraphed that the wife would die (she isn’t at the airport in the beginning with Shane; Shane knows there is a body on the plane, like it might be her). As she is becoming unhinged in 1-5, I thought she was going to drown herself in the ocean.

As soon as Plop grabbed the “pineapple knife” I told my wife exactly what would happened, pretty much blow for blow.

Bound.

The only answer.

Never saw this, and honestly probably won’t. But images search is pretty good.

Finally started Yellowstone. It’s awesome.

I’ve been to Montana 8 times and it never gets old seeing it.

Watched that GTA movie with ryan Reynolds.

Interesting concept. Bad script. Bad casting.

Enjoy it now because it's already been cancelled. Pretty cool season, though.

Spider-man: No Way Home sorta-trailer has leaked. Obviously contains a good amount of special effects that aren't ready, but it does give a healthy amount of plot. I've seen it, it looks dope.

I watched the trailer with my wife and kids and then I laughed realizing that there's a tiny, tiny part of me that's pissed that I'm not in it, since I was in Homecoming. For some reason, a little voice inside me is saying, "How dare they film any more of these without bringing me back!" like I meant anything to the production.

I think all the Marvel movies are great. Even the worst ones (I'm looking at you, first two Thors) are still entertaining. I haven't seen the TV series, though, since I don't have Disney+. I'm going to have to bite the bullet and subscribe at some point because I can only keep my ears shut for so long.

He directed a movie called “The Book of Henry” that is absolutely preposterous. An 11 year old child prodigy makes a detailed plan for his mom to kill their neighbor (Dean Norris) and get away with it. I took my grandma to the theater thinking it was one of those standard feel good movies and I couldn’t believe that was the plot. Just absurd lol.

A second season actually somehow came out after it had been canceled, no clue how. But there is a second season somehow.

Pretty sure that's the UK version.

Finally got around to watching the season finale of Dave. It was terrific.

Clickbait on Netflix was worth the watch.

Agree, it was padded out a bit with the constant red herrings, but that's a minor gripe. Overall an enjoyable show and worth a watch.

Heels (Starz) is pretty good.

While I was laid up with back spasms, I breezed through the HBO docu-series "The 100 Foot Wave." Directed by Chris Smith, the same dude who chronicled Milwaukee's Mark Borchardt in the absolutely canon "American Movie," the 6-parter explores the surfing subset of big wave surfing. The two stars are big wave pioneer Garrett McNamara and an unlikely big surf spot in Portugal of all places. The big wave surfers are not a Mountain Dew version of XXXtreeeeem sportz. Instead, the practitioners are powered by grim resolve and the unshakeable impulse to tackle skyscrapers of water, all participants plagued with a lurking sense of fatalism. The cinematography is predictably stunning and the mfin gawd, Phil Glass, supplies the soundtrack. Until "Night Court" is fully available to stream, this will have to do.
