succession is one of the better shows i've seen in awhile. falls into some of the classic traps of shows, but strong characters. overall very good.

What do we think about 2001 a space odyssey

It’s not a movie you can watch one time and get it. You’re going to need multiple viewings. Probably a week apart. It’s not exciting a d you might be bored by it after a first watch. You’ll pick something else up each time.

One viewing I found jim Harbaugh’s voice

"I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you."

Be wide awake when you watch it. Worth watching just for its historical value. The books are great.

At least they were when I read them like 30 years ago.

Daughter is dating a guy named Hal right now. I started laughing when I was told his name. That didn’t go well.

Hal is a fine name, it just kind of shocked me.

It’s slow at the start and a bit hard to understand at the end. My advice is to watch it alone and not be tired.

Is Hal short for something? Hallmark?

Ready? It’s short for George. Not joking. That’s what his parents did. Named him George, called him Hal. So yeah. I’m as confused as you.

I've only ever watched it synced up to Pink Floyd's Echoes while on mushrooms. But I think that is probably the best way to watch it.

mushrooms are just the best. Also i may need a link to that.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2021-08-28, 02:56

Ok i watched it. I need to digest it but speaking of mushrooms the movie felt like an acid trip

Stanley Kubrick is pretty good.

"The Chair" on netflix... yup, seems about right.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2021-09-23, 12:22

CODA if you're looking for a feel good story/flick

Bahaha. Ted lasso Rick rolls everyone.

Goliath season 4 is on Amazon. I thought he died at the end of last season but apparently not. From the teaser I'm assuming he got hooked on opioids during recovery from getting shot and now he's going after the drug manufacturers.

by AvgMSUJoe 2021-09-24, 22:26

Goliath got weird. I watched the first half the first episode. Still weird.

So, I wasn't going to watch cause all of the religious overtones, but my sister suggested it so I tried... Midnight Mass on Netflix is pretty good.

I've heard mixed reviews. Someone said it is pretty slow. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
Black Summer is interesting. Another zombie show, but seems to take place at the beginning of the outbreak and show the collapse of society. Its only 2 seasons, so pretty quick to watch. I think 8-10 episodes a season.

by **DWags** 2021-10-20, 21:05

BY THE WAY, , it up Succession's first episode in two years. Fucking outstanding. I binge watched it during covid. Hooked on it. Now bummed out I have to wait week to week for the next episode.

Got around to watching Detroit a few weeks ago. Excellent movie. Also saw Many Saints of Newark, and enjoyed that, too. James Gandalfini’s son just nails his dad’s mannerisms.

American Rust is excellent. I like it even more than Mare of Easttown, though my wife disagrees. Both do well of portraying that hard luck blue collar Pennsylvania town.

Must be a big Lord Of The Rings fan to change the spelling of his name like that.

I took a shot.
If I spelled it Gondorffini would you know who I’m referencing?

Finishing "Only murderers in the building " Cute. Funny. Worth a binge.

We’ve watched all but the last episode and enjoy it. Didn’t recommend it here because, like you said, it’s more of a light, cute murder mystery. Plus, wasn’t sure how the younger ones would react to Steve Martin and Martin Short. btw, Selena Gomez is not aging well, and her voice sounds like one of Marge Simpson’s sisters. Too many smokes. tOfficial General Movies and TV Shows Discussion/Criticism Thread - Page 25 502811600

I was randomly roaming over Amazon Prime, found and watched a movie with Shia LaBeouf called Eagle Eye. Futuristic action show. I enjoyed it for a one-timer.

Man irritating... nasal and just not a pleasant sound.

by SawGreen 2021-10-21, 20:49

I would just bounce to the 15 minute mark or so... I haven't even finished it, but it looks like a good time.
