2017 TV/Movie/Book Thread with Spoilers

[M-C-G]

Catching up on Fear the Walking dead, and Madison is going so overboard with trying to ruin everything, it's crazy.

Curb Your Enthusiasm was fun. It is like a cup of coffee, kind of an aquired taste, always puts me in a better mood.

Loved Larry’s equation for who you hold a door for. Loved his idea for a musical. Not sure I needed two scenes of him in the shower. Laughed a lot.

Yeah I enjoyed it, had a very oh larry kind of feel.

[trwi7]

Feel like Larry gave some of his nipples to Nick Jonas.

[MickeyDavis]

Curb was way over the top, which is always is/was. Some things fell flat but overall it was good to have Larry back. Love Leon and Susie.

Started to re-watch Blade Runner last night for the second time and just like the first, I fell asleep.

Woah, woah, woah, you're going to have explain this one. Agreed it's a great movie with an even better soundtrack. But, if there is a villain, how is it not Summer?

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but as I recall

Spoiler:

he really builds her up to be the perfect girl in his mind despite her repeated attempts to make it clear that it isn't the case. He always just goes with it, basically with the misguided belief that it will all work out in the end and the relationship would basically blossom into something more.

That's the backbone of it, yea. She's up front with him, he irrationally makes her out in his head to be the Proverbial One, when she cuts it off he acts like a dick, all the while still delusional.

I wanted to drop it out of my top 20 like I did Garden State because of the main dude, but alas.

[Finn]

Just finished Manhunt Unabomber - thought it was quite good.

I don't know, the wedding scene followed by the invite to her place -- knowing how he felt -- is some pretty villainous stuff on her part.

I'll give you that one. I re-watched it giving her the benefit of the doubt, but it's pretty brutal. Tom's still horrible, though.
