Sneaky Pete on Amazon Prime.

Just finished E3. Freaking solid. Surprised it hasn't been brought up here.

Anyone watch this?

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** on 2017-02-04, 16:34

I've watched 1.5 episodes. Agree. It's good.

Spoiler:: Yeah, and I noticed the tie-in at the end, I am guessing this made the "beast" an actual superhero/villian based of the same premise from unbreakable, right?

Spoiler:: Yes... this movie exists in the same town/universe as Unbreakable.

M. Night said this is a thematic sequel to Unbreakable, so we were basically watching a supervillain origin story.

The next movie is going to be Unbreakable 2, with David Dunn (Willis) going after Kevin.

SOOO pumped!

Spoiler:: Yeah, once I got to the end I wanted to rewatch unbreakable. I felt though he left the surviving victim story open as well. She's still living with her abusive uncle?

by **Death Roe** on 2017-02-05, 16:04

Spoiler:: I guess so... or maybe that long look between her and the cop suggested she may get help from foster care or someone else.

We rewatched Unbreakable on Monday night. Still holds up and is fucking great.

Spoiler:: You can rent it on Amazon Video for $4, good for 30 days. That's what we did Monday.

I thought it was great. Vintage M. Night at his best. He makes the movies he wants to make, and doesn't really bend over to studio demands. This movie shows what he can do if a script is good, and a studio trusts him.

McAvoy deserves some Oscar consideration next year, but since the movie came out in January of 2017, I highly doubt he'll be acknowledged in any of the major awards in the film industry.

The producer (executive producer? ) is a Spartan. I believe he screens movies at the Wharton center now and then for Spartan athletes.

It's on Amazon Prime if you have that.

Bamp.

Oscars are on tomorrow night.

Saw John Wick: Chapter 2 today. Fucking A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Should win Best Picture next year. He killed 2 dudes with a pencil. It was sick.

I've been watching Trailer Park Boys. First 7 seasons were awesome and then Netflix brought it back and it became totally unwatchable. If you haven't watched it give it a shot but do yourself a favor and stop after season 7.

Watched it Friday night. I agree it was solid. Definitely worth a watch.

I can't sit still long enough to watch a movie..

so I really don't have anything to add here.

Did someone Steve Harvey the Oscars last night? I saw on my news feed they had to apologize for naming the wrong movie for best picture. Oops.
