Iron Man 2 is one of maybe 3 movies I've ever walked out of.

You have a strong opinion, care to elaborate? I didn't realize how polarizing he can be.

Winning Time is a good example. The 70s, grainy, artifacts popping up on the screen look. It's **** annoying. Then you have the people breaking the 4th wall constantly, another McKay thing. I think he's got his head up his ass.

Binged Daredevil a couple months ago and it’s A) my favorite Marvel show by far, and B) really put into perspective just *how* PG the MCU is. I love Daredevil and am ecstatic Charlie Cox is in the MCU now, but part of me feels they’re just gonna water down his character and his story in the MCU if they do anything with him. We’ll see with Moon Knight.

I don’t think I’ve hit a point of annoyance with if yet, not sure if I will, but I understand how it could grate some viewers. It can appear derivative or self indulgent (70s grainy look) and he’s a slightly unconventional story teller.

But I do love the story. Not sure how many of the details are true though. Guessing less than 50%. It’s highly dramatized.

Yep. I’m both excited and nervous about the characters moving over from the Netflix shows to MCU. The bad guys in the Netflix shows are so excellent but I fear they’ll be watered down big time and it will take away what made them so special.

The Last Kingdom. ****, I love that show. Netflix can get **** for ending it too early.

I hear there will be a movie, at the very least.

Finally finished season 2 of How To and I needed more. Found this from a few months ago. Has anyone posted this before? It’s incredible.

Somehow I was completely unaware of Eastbound and Down. It wrapped up 9 years ago. I watched the first episode last night. That was some crazy ass Danny McBride stuff. I liked it. Only 29 episodes, I’ll zip through it pretty quick at 30 minutes each.

It's completely idiotic. In the best way.

The episode at Ashley Schaefer’s plantation is one of the funniest and absurd half hours in the history of television

Jackass Forever is a miracle of a movie.

Did not see that coming. Fielder is such a genius.

Spoiler:

I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t really dug into Nathan For You. Probably should do that soon, huh?

RiotPunch · Post #1076 » by **RiotPunch** » Sat Mar 26, 2022 2:15 am

Nathan For You is legendary.

I would not necessarily recommend Nathan for You in its entirety. But its say, top ten moments? I think they are some of the most genius comedy of the last 20 years.

Really? I hadn’t heard about a movie. It absolutely sucks the show ended too early, but I’ll at least take a movie.

Hell yeah!!

I can’t believe BBC actually canceled this show after 2 seasons.
