2017 TV/Movie/Book Thread with Spoilers

[Turk Nowitzki]

DC has handled this like a bunch of **** morons from the beginning. The wanted that Avengers money and they didn't give two **** about what was on the screen to get it.

Pretty mixed reviews on JL. Seems the biggest criticism is Warner Bro's mandate to keep it under 2 hours and it really made the movie suffer from a story/editing stand point.

That's a huge problem for them though considering it's one of the same exact problems BvS and MoS suffered from.

If you made a movie that can't tell a story properly without the 3 1/2 hour directors cut you made a **** movie

I heard it was 2 hours 45 min but they cut it to just below 2 hours. I dont think any one cares how long the movie is as long as its decent. Every marvel movie is nearly 2 1/2 hours and all the DK films were long too.

I accidentally watched the directors cut of BvS the first time I saw it so I never got some of the criticisms until after I read about the cinema version.

This is disappointing news. Flash was a favorite of mine growing up and I loved wonder woman. Was excited to go....... I might hold off now.

I haven't seen it myself but its what I've heard from reviewers that I like. They still enjoyed it but think if a directors cut was available upon blu ray release, it'll probably be better.

[Badgerlander]

looking forward to seeing Three Billboards, loved In Bruges

[pifhluk23]

Watch The Deuce.

Haven't seen it yet but I'm a Franco fan plus it's from the guy who did The Wire

It's great, Franco is good and there are a lot of Wire characters in it. I don't know how to explain it but it has the feel of The Wire as well. There is a ton of nudity and sex scenes, too much imo but the show is so good it makes up for it.

also want to see Last Flag Flying, I need to go back and rewatch The Last Detail

Lady Bird was awesome, bring your wife/girlfriend/random woman from Tinder/daughter

[BMatt07]

I really did not like Thor 3 at all.. almost every joke was a complete miss for me. If SNL wanted to turn Thor in to a skit, it wouldn't have been far off from this turd of a movie.

I was hard pressed to find a single serious scene in the entire movie, which is rather odd considering the circumstances of the story. As soon as they broke the 4th wall with Thor talking to the viewers to open the movie, I knew this movie was going to be a miss for me, you're not Deadpool. They then follow that up by using the same joke three times in a row as Thor is slowly rotating on the chain trying to talk to the big flame dude. Cringe humor is the absolute worst.

Spoiler:

Thor's father dies early on in the movie, he finds out he has a long lost sister who is actually the goddess of death, his hammer gets destroyed, he loses an eyeball, through Hymdall he witnesses Hela and her undead army taking over Asgaard while all of its citizens are hiding underground trying to avoid extermination, all of his fighter friends from the first film are butchered. Oh, and his entire home world is blown up. You would think there would be some serious moments/scenes here from Thor.. nope.

Also.. Thor, the God of Thunder, can be knocked unconscious (repeatedly in the film) by being ELECTROCUTED by a taser nodule in his neck? Huh..

[Ron Swanson]

Yeah, I really liked Thor, but most of the jokes just felt so damn forced. Would have been an even better movie had most of the attempts at humor not fallen completely flat. Jeff Goldblum was the only character that I felt they did right in a comedic sense. He was hilarious.

[ReasonablySober]

Holy **** what a return for Peaky Blinders.

[Iheartfootball]

Holy **** what a return for Peaky Blinders.

WHAT? It's back? But not on Netflix. How do I watch? BBC America?

S3 of Mr. Robot is **** amazing. No sidetracking (though Vera and the Warden are underappreciated subplots imo), strong character development/storytelling, and still some of the best cinematography. Esmail came correct here.

[jakecronus8]

Don't have time to give all my thoughts but quite simply, Justice League was bad. Flat out terrible story telling.

[emunney]

Why did DC turn everything over to Zack Snyder?

[Triple 7]

It's been incredibly suspenseful recently. It's hard to believe there are 4 episodes left in the season.

This season pulled me back in after the show started to lose me.

[blazza18]

The last couple of episodes of Mr Robot have pulled me back in.

Future Man on Hulu is **** great.
