OT TV and Movies (Please use spoiler tags)

[emunney]

It is reasonable to think an episode of tv was too intense, without getting called out for having an overly sheltered life.

Sheltered is your word, not mine. I don't think you have to be sheltered to have never had a close relationship with someone who has undiagnosed bipolar disorder. I am genuinely happy for them. To me 'over the top' is a stand-in for fantastical or unrealistic, and I'm just pointing out that it didn't feel that way for me at all, likely because I did have a close relationship with someone like that.

I've had more nights like that than I care to think about, with the added layer of alcohol and guns.

Car was too far for me.

I loved the episode. I know more than my share of people that choose destructive actions. I’m simply saying these can be separate things; I can gauge the episode as too melodramatic and intense to be considered perfect while also having experienced similar conflict.

To me ‘over the top’ is a stand in for Sylvester Stallone winning a semi truck, and the affection of his son, in an arm wrestling tournament.

I thought 7 fishes was great, but I like Forks better.

Also, anybody watching Industry. This season has been awesome.

How does his episode not make the list :’(

Because it's too depressing. Thanks, I'm gonna go cry now.

Wild that I immediately recognize this and start humming. Not sure I've ever felt more heartbroken by a sillier show, but if I did, it'd have probably been from another Futurama episode. If it taaaakes forever...

Strongly agree with "Forks" over whatever the Christmas episode of the Bear was called.

Incredibly difficult undertaking of course.

Was Forks the one where Richie worked for five days in a nice restaurant and learned everything there was to know about front-of-house service, changing his entire outlook not only on fine dining but on life in general?

And Fishes was over the top?

(both amazing episodes...gotta suspend your disbelief people. It's a fricken work of fiction not a documentary)

I don't want to imply that I didn't love Forks but yes this is also true.

Also, separately, I don't have a position on which one was better. They were both great. Also when people say Forks I sometimes mistake it for Fishes because, "Hey Petey... just... you think I could just like borrow that fork a second I just wanna..."

5 episodes into the first season right now and loving it so far.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought it was real.

Yep, one episode into the new season. Big fan of the show, has a different feel to it than most shows. Can't put a finger on it. Glad to hear it is good.

[ReasonablySober]

Rebel Ridge is really, really good.

Spoiler:

Only criticism is it kind of runs out of gas at the end.

[MickeyDavis]

Just to note, if you quote someone you'll see anything they have in spoiler tags before you hit submit.

Looking forward to Rebel Ridge sometime this weekend. Football severely eats into my free time for the next 5+ months.

Agreed. It’s clearly between those two episodes and you can’t go wrong with either but Forks was my personal favorite.

One more small thought after sitting with Rebel Ridge for a couple days.

Spoiler:

The more I sit on Rebel Ridge the more I think the movie left meat on the bone. I kept thinking that an impressive action sequence was going to break out, and it never really did. I'm sure that was the point (de-escalation being such a big theme) and while I think it made for a unique and interesting movie, it did make me kinda want to see some more violence done to those hick cops.

Still liked it, still thought it was really good. Wanted that dude to kick more ass.

James Earl Jones, great actor with an all-time great voice, and for some reason, this is always the first thing I think of when I think of him.

Watch on YouTube

You could do worse than watch The Bingo Long Travelling All Stars.

Whenever Olajuwon and Giannis are pictured together, I reflexively blurt "Akeem, we must leave for Zumundu immediately."

Had the good fortune to pick up one of these records on a dig in Rockford.

A damned titan but we already knew that.
