OT: TV and Movies (with spoilers)

“One of the all-time greatest directors should have made his universally lauded film a miniseries” is a take I wasn’t expecting to see today.

Ha yeah I see how that sounded. I guess I was just trying to say had I went to a theater and sat through 3 1/2 hours I would have came out thinking it was too damn long.

I can't imagine a normal studio making this for a full theater run would have been cool with this. But hey Netflix gave him the runway and money so it's cool he got to do what he wanted.

Still wish he would have just cast a different actor for the flashbacks instead of deniro playing down like 50 years in age with weird CGI.

I'm an hour into The Irishman and the de-aging thing is throwing me off. Deniro looks like an old ass man doing young man sh^t. What was wrong with going The Godfather route and casting a younger guy to play a younger version of the character? And like The Godfather and Brando, the aged up stuff works but I don't think you can really de-age a 75 year old guy.

Yeah the biggest problem is you can't de-age the way he moves. Super distracting.

It's still a great movie.

Captain Marvel suffered from the same affliction re: Sam Jackson's character.

I was blown away by whatever special effects they used for Sarah and John Connor in the Dark Fate prologue.

It made the CGI Leia and Tarkin in Rogue One look like MS Paint.

Does anybody have a good system for choosing what movie to watch next especially with a significant other? Not that we're fighting all the time, just that that we get overloaded with so many options and we end up browsing for an hour and a lot of the time end up watching nothing.

Do your research on the internet before turning on the TV. Much faster, IMO.

Watched The Irishman last night. I enjoyed it but like others I felt it was sort of a drag in the middle. I also thought the soundtrack was lacking...I understand why it went "silent" towards the end during the reflective part but on the whole I didn't think Marty used music as well as he typically does.

Also, did anyone notice that the woman that played Hoffa's wife was also in Goodfellas? I was so happy to make that connection I high fived my imaginary friend.

I'm basically on a never ending quest to find new great horror movies. It's a tough tourney these days, but I'm finding some pretty good ones that dance on the line of being comedies. I really enjoyed Little Monsters especially considering I don't always love zombie movies. Lupita Nyong'o is fantastic in it IMO, so you might like it if you liked her performance in Us.

Have you seen one cut of the dead? I'm not sure where you can see it right now besides shudder but it is very good. Know the first 20 minutes or so are rough to get through but just push on. I too am on a constant quest for good horror movies. Maybe I'll post an exhaustive list for fun. Usually I scour Netflix, Hulu, prime and now j have shudder.

Also saw knives out and it was awesome.

Watchmen is the best show on television. Ridiculous stuff.

I kept a trello board (www.trello.com) with a gf for awhile - it worked really well. We'd both put movies on the list, then had a column of "I really want to watch with you" or something, with 3-5 movies, and we'd pick one.

I agree. Never decide on the spot. You will end up discussing for an hour after watching a dozen of trailers and never decide.
I keep one queue with films I haven't seen but I know my wife will not want to watch, and one with films that she will like.
At night when the kids are sleeping we will pick one of these (and usually she will fall asleep after 30' and I get to pick one on my list or play xbox )

Holy **** that last Silicon Valley episode

Russ Hanneman needs a spin-off series.

David Harbour!

[ReasonablySober]

Pugh, Harbour, and Weicz. Now way I won't be seeing this one.

[Turk Nowitzki]

Knives Out - Very good and very fun, as expected the cast is great and the movie is in on the joke poking fun at the whodunit murder mystery genre while simultaneously participating in it.

Ford v Ferrari - Good in a vanilla, broad appeal sort of way but sometimes a well executed by the numbers movie is satisfying too. The material was certainly elevated by having Matt Damon and Christian Bale.

[ReasonablySober]

I've barely been able to hang with See, but the first 15 minutes of the 4th episode were really **** intense and excellent.

[HaroldinGMinor]

Reading the fan reviews of Watchmen on Rotten Tomatoes and it seems there are three types of people that have watched the show: People that love it, people that thought it was a remake of Watchmen the comic and are furious that it's nothing like the source material, and people that want to join the 7th Cavalry.
