Sorry, Doc, but nobody is willing to sit down and write and Oscar-worthy Hello Kitty.

Give me a good original like The Martian or a bold failure like Interstellar. Hell Afleck's Argo was good even if they fudged alot of history.

Instead we get the same ol same ol. Oscar nominees not alot of people see, superheroes, and reboots.

I'm ok with some of them like Logan or Deadpool but the shit they pulled with Star Wars and the crap that is DC (save Wonder Woman) is just awful.

Man of Steel is solid
Think they said they're coming out with less Star Wars cause they realized they over did it pumping a new one out every year

[Death Roe]

I'm waiting for Rambo 5.

He’s a ranch hand in the new one

I liked Interstellar a lot.

Yeah, it was fantastic.

[Rocinante]

Watching season 2 of legion tonight. It’s good.

They could wait every 5 years and it would still probably blow.

Dude the episode after that is fucking hilarious.

That’s good to hear. Won’t see it for a few days, though.

[tGreenWay]

Trying to catch up with IASIP, and last night watched the ep where Dee and a plane load of women fly to LA for a women’s march. Dee is really just using the March as an excuse to mimic what the guys did in re-creating Boggs’ 70 beer cross country plane ride.  Hands down the worst episode in the series. Not the least bit funny. Not one bit. I hope this doesn’t signal an end to how great this series was.

It's gotten worse over time, but still usually pretty damn funny. The 1st episode of the last season is another one that sucks. The one where everyone turns black.

I don’t mind stinkers every once in awhile; comedy is always going to be a hit and miss, but there needs to be a reason to stick with something other than it used to be funny.

[Watch Out Pylon!]

I liked Interstellar a lot.

Yeah, it was fantastic.

Except for the ending. That sucked ass.

[Robert J Sakimano]

Is anybody going to see Bradley Cooper / Gaga epic "A Star is Born"?

I want to see it - my wife isn't excited about, so I probably won't go.

Well, you got the Pylon seal of approval to keep watching. I don't even remember the episode you're talking about. What season was it in?

Whoa whoa whoa! You go to movies? This is brand new information for me.

[Watch Out Pylon!]

I might have posted this somewhere else. I don't remember. One of my favorite bits. A quick moment of Mac's gay tendencies bleeding through.

only when there is a flick I really want to see. I'm not beating down the doors to go see A Star is Born - but I'd go.

I've probably been to the megaplex up in Eastwood maybe 2-3 times in the last couple of years.

13/3: The gang beats Boggs; ladies reboot.

S03E01 of the Man in the High Castle is pretty intense. That gym auditorium scene whoa.

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Season 6 episode 6 curb your enthusiasm the rat dog - one of the best eps.

[Rocinante]

Season 3 of Mr. Robot on Amazon now. Love that show. Just not enough to pay extra for it.

[Death Roe]

We’ve seen two movies out here.

A Star is Born - Lady Gaga can actually act?! And Bradley Cooper was fantastic. Good singer, too.

First Man - whole film was shaky camera, but Gosling was awesome. The launch sequence and the landing sequence were fucking amazing to watch in IMAX.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Barbershop Ep II aired last night. Watching now. Good stuff.

I have to say, I've never really given much thought to Maverick Carter. He's extraordinarily bright and in tune. He is leading and moderating this discussion, and he gets it. Glad Miles is on board with this team.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Ha. I also don't anything of Drake other than God's Plan and In my Feelings and other popular songs that my kid likes. I know he's Canadian, and was on Degrassi. But this dude is also really bright and not what I expected. These guys are playing the game. A lot of respect to them.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

Glad I watched that. Newfound respect for Drake.

[Death Roe]

I started watching Impractical Jokers while on vacation. Holy fucking shit those guys are great. Murr wearing Q's hair as a wig kills me.

[WhiteBoyHatcher]

I think there's a BCS thread. But I thought the finale was fucking excellent. I know the season was slow. But man....that was a great way to wrap it.

[Death Roe]

Fuck I forgot. Gotta watch tomorrow

[Nordic]

Agree. Thought Jimmy's reaction at the end was a tad over the top. Especially within ear shot of the review board. But I get why they played it up.  Great season. That German was a fucking idoit. WTF did he think was going to happen?

Where do we go from here though? I mean you could technically wrap it up with that epidode. Kim is obv going to bail in short order.

I do look forward to more Lalo.

Yeah, I mean nit-picking. But my two gripes were 1)same as yours - actually both times I watched, my mind jumped the scene and assumed it was a flash forward because no way would Jimmy be talking like that fresh out of the hearing. And 2) Lalo Ceiling Ninja

I mean shit got real in a hurry. Lalo is a great character and will be an excellent nemesis to Mike.

Mike story is still way more gripping than Jimmy story, though I enjoy Jimmy story, as well. Can't wait to see where we start off next season.

[Rocinante]

I watched "You Were Never Really Here" last night starring Wakeen Feenix. Not for everybody, but I liked it. It's shorter than a lot of TV show episodes.

I’m def on the side of those who enjoyed this season. Yes, it was slow, but I found the storylines interesting. Jimmy isn’t Walt and his story is going to be less... physically volatile. My biggest complaint is the same as it’s been every year since the series started: The season is too short. I want more episodes. And if they don’t think there’s enough material for a longer season, then don’t spread things out by a year. It’s too long to wait for such a short payout.

BTW AND FWIW. Daredevil season 3 is just as good as season 1. (maybe better 93% on rotten)

I started 3 last night.

Nothing wrong per se... but not as good as 1 (and now 3)... I think it has something to do with Vincent D'Onofrio. Dude rocks the "bad guy" role.

[MiamiSpartan]

Like Greenway, I find myself enjoying the storylines and the characters in BCS, even if there aren't a lot of big things happening.

[MiamiSpartan]

S03E01 of the Man in the High Castle is pretty intense. That gym auditorium scene whoa.

I love this show. Luckily Season 3 came out about 4 days before my Prime trial membership ended, so I was able to watch it.

I really like where they've gone with the plot in the 2nd and 3rd seasons, with the big picture political happenings. It's one thing to talk about historical "what ifs", but they explore it pretty deeply, and some interesting speculation on who/what would stay the same, be different, or be similar with some tweaks under Nazi or Japanese rule (i.e., J Edgar Hoover). I don't feel all that drawn to the characters (though I do find Smith and "High Castle" pretty intriguing), but the overall plot is enjoyable for me.

I'm not a big fan of parallel universes. Too often it's been used as a lazy way out of tired series that went on too long. The ending of season 3 has me pretty intrigued, though.

[Guest]

DISH added MeTv to its lineup this summer. I've been enjoying watching shows of my youth. Question that occurred to me last night: Could Hogans Heroes make it on the air today?

But overall it's been fun to smoke a bowl and get Lost in Space or take a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

I had watched a couple episodes of Justified but wasn't gaga about it. Then last night, I couldn't sleep and watched most of the first season. I think I'll watch more! Not tonight though. I was up until 4AM. That'll teach me to drink caffeinated drinks after 6.

That is one show that just kept getting better and better all the way to very end if you ask me. The ending was very justified.
