I'll watch Clipped. Anything that takes me back to my youth and 1980's NBA.

That said, Winning Time was just epic. Both seasons.

Clipped is going to take you back to your prime days of 2013.

I watched the first two episodes. It’s not awful, but we were spoiled with Winning Time…and I feel like that’s coloring my opinion of this show. The events feel a bit too recent to be relevant somehow, and seeing our current coach become a dramatized TV character is something :lol:

Had assumed wrongly that any Sterling biopic would start from the beginning,and revisit the Elgin Baylor lotto days of the team.

That said, watched episode one tonight. Made me feel better about Doc Rivers as our coach.

It'd be even better if they uploaded that trailer in 4K.

Awesome. My wife's never seen it. They better include the intermission, though.

Hit Man was great. I watched the Before trilogy for the first time last weekend and this helped remove some of that stink.

ETA: There's a scene in this movie that flipped the whole viewing experience for me, and I wasn't sure in real time if I was over exaggerating in my head just how good the scene was that I was watching.

Spoiler:

We just finished Parks and Rec. Just a lovely show in so many ways. I don't think I found it as funny as The Office was at its peak, but it was infinitely more enjoyable to watch because it wasn't nearly as cringey at its worst.

Such a great show. Jamm and Jean Ralphio are 2 of the best side characters ever.

I watched this at a time in my life where I had just left an accounting job to work for local government and my goodness, all of the bits with Adam Scott teasing the old accounting firm absolutely killed me.

That's funny, I opened it a browser window this week and meant to watch it at some point but didn't. Worth buying/renting?

Bone Tomahawk was crazy. I liked it. It's on Hulu.

I liked the first 3/4 of "Bone Tomahawk" a lot more than the last quarter or so. It's worth watching but you may want a warning that it has one of the most gruesome scenes I have ever seen in a movie.

Agree with all of this.

I think it's a well done film overall and probably worth seeing even if it doesn't end up being your cup of tea, which it might not. Good writing/dialogue/character development & acting. Super slow burn for most of it, but **** gets crazy at a certain point. So if you're cool with a film that takes its sweet time in developing characters before things take off, and you're not squeamish, I would say it's worth seeing.

I will echo what FrieAaron said that there's a scene that if you're not comfortable seeing gruesome stuff in movies, might not be for you.
