Yeah great finale…season finale right?


Excellent. Love how they have layered complexity into the Milchick character. Love what they did with that action sequence at the end and how it finished. Word is Apple+ is taking a beating over their series work in terms of cost. But you can point to almost any show on their and find brilliant writing storytelling fantastically nuanced performances, and complex, complicated characters. They don't market well enough, and they don't have enough in their library to get subscribers but their stuff kills.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

So true. Every thing Apple has done has been exceptional. Not always my thing but always well done.

Anora and A Complete Unknown are both on Hulu now. A month ago I was complaining that I hadn't seen any of the best picture nominees and now I can watch some of them but for some reason don't find myself excited do to so. If anyone has seen them, are either of these "must watches?"

I've seen "Anora" and, while a good movie, I'm not sure what the hype is all about. The following day I'd already forgotten about it. I may be in the minority here but this isn't a must-watch for me by any means.

The lead actress did a fantastic job though.

I really liked A Complete Unknown

Timothee Chalmalet is fantastic as Dylan.

Same. Enjoyed it more than Anora but Mikey Madison deserved her Oscar. Not sure who I'd vote for Best Picture. None were really that impressive imo. Dune 2 I guess hehe. Monica Barbaro on ACU was a babe.

If anyone here watches K-Dramas, When Life Gives You Tangerines on Netflix is as good as it gets. Just binged all 16 episodes in 4 days lol.

Mobland pilot's really good. Stars Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Tom Hardy. And they actually star in it, not just name attached to the project and they make a cameo.

Saw my first keyed Tesla yesterday when I brought my truck in for a tint job. The owner showed me the video of the mental midget keying it. I find it amazing that these people are willing to risk their job, finances, possible freedom and more by being brainless followers.

In my US History class we are talking about the 1970s. Students watched various sitcoms, most popular being All in the Family. Their task was to analyze them and pick out issues they were addressing. After, we discussed what they were and it was: racism/bigotry, poverty, politics (both left and right), distrust with the government, gender equality along with foreign policy. I then asked them, are any of those issues still prevalent today? 100% of all my students said all of them. Point being, it is. Oh necessarily the issues that are the problem, it is humans. 50+years, arguing about the same things. Makes you wonder and hopefully think.

Not sure if there is any other gamers here but Nintendo Switch 2 is about to be launched officially worldwide via their direct showcase on YouTube.

So excited
