OT: TV and Movies

Did get a chance to check out Black Bird on Apple TV+ and let me tell you it's the stuff nightmares are made of. Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser are amazing as the two leads and you skin will crawl before it's all said and done countless times. Two episodes are available now - a new episode for each of the next 4 weeks and moment after moment throughout this (thriller/mystery/suspense) gave me the creepy crawlies.

My wife works for Metallica's management company, and it was tipped off that a song would be featured but I was still blown away by Eddie's upside-down-face-melting solo. I usually hate loving things that are super hyped and popular, but this show deserves every bit of fandom it gets.

Easy way out for Duffer Bros to kill off a newly introduced character, but they built Eddie up beautifully. I was the basketball and football jock in high school that also loved D&D and rock and roll, this all hit super close to home and I ate it the **** up. RIMFP Eddie, you metal deity.

Spoiler:
Eddie was a legend. The actor that played the character was goddamn amazing. And that scene on the trailer *chefs kiss*. The Duffer Brothers are seriously great at introducing beloved characters only to take them out later that same season.

My one gripe is them seemingly retconning the Mind Flayer. In the earlier seasons (and interviews with the creators) they made it clear the MF was this eldritch horror of inexplicable origin hellbent on taking over our dimension. Which is awesome. But now, it's actually Vecna controlling the MF. That reveal was incredibly disappointing on so many levels. I pray they have something more creative up their sleeve regarding the MF.

Spoiler:
I personally think that the MF is still the real big bad and that VH1 is just his puppet, deceiving him into thinking he is in control (some real eldritch sh*t). I think MF eventually turns on him now that it's gotten access to the real world, and Henry gets something of a redemption arc. Fan theory suggests the 11+8+1=20 critical hit is to take down Vecna, as foreshadowed in the Hellfire Club campaign, but what if it's El(011)+Kali(008)+Henry(001)=20 to banish the MF for good?

I liked Thor. I think the polarization of opinion is down to how you viewed the tonal shifts. If you didn't like it, you probably hated the movie, but if you didn't mind it, you really enjoyed it. I'm more in the latter half where it didn't bother me too much.

Going to go out on a limb and say this is going to blow all the other SW shows out of the water.

Watch on YouTube

First episode of Severance was sleep inducing. Not sure if I'll continue.

Continue, it's solid. Based on what I remember of your taste, I think you'll enjoy.

I might be crazy but I thought Severance was awesome. I’d give it another couple of episodes before giving up on it.

I was shocked when Ed aborted the Mars landing. I was expecting something to go sideways with one of the two landings, but never expected that. It seemed like being so close with the first moon landing haunted him and with his test pilot mentality, I expected him to stick it out, even if they crashed.

That kid is absolutely going to tell Ed he **** his wife now, especially with not letting him try to land it either and with all the other build up there.

I'm really enjoying this season

I found the first episode or maybe even two or three borderline unbearable, but ended up sticking with it and it really seems to pick up steam the further you get into it.

It took me a handful of episodes to figure out what the hell I was watching but once I got the rhythm of show down I was hooked. Have been binging the hell out of it at night and it's tough to put down. The scraps in the show beat any battle you'll see on GoT. Love the cold opens, especially to open the seasons.

And my god is Michelle Mylett a goddess.

Severance is neck and neck with Yellowjackets for my favorite thing i've watched this year.
