It really is. Any "best movies ever" list should definitely have it.

I watched it. Will Arnett is one of my favorites, and the whole thing was pretty fun.

What service has this?

by AvgMSUJoe 2022-12-25, 19:18

I think it might be at the movies or you can rent it from Amazon. (Or Torrent)

Avatar 2. See it in theaters. Not gonna say the story is great, but the cinematography is very good. It is a long movie, but i didn't fall asleep. I almost always fall asleep. Kyle also gives it at least 1 thumbs up and after asking 3 times, he gave it 2 thumbs up.

I watched glass onion last night and can’t decide if it was just ok or really good. What do you guys think.

It was worth the 2 hours. Which is like a 7/10....

We have completely different tastes in shows it seems. What are some of your favorites? Could be an interesting experiment to compare.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2022-12-30, 21:46

Also i really enjoyed the interactions of the characters. The personalities and everything people deal with in relationships. Rich or not they deal with the same things.

The standards... breaking bad, saul, the big HBO ones (wire, got, sopranos)
I liked many of the Prime shows. (Goliath, that Sci fi one....)

That was my opinion of S1 as well. But was entertaining enough to keep watching. As I mentioned earlier, didn't see the need to watch S2. I had my fill of Stifler's mom.

Pretty much the same opinion. Definitely worth watching either way.

Black Adam sucked balls just showed once again why DC will never be able to do what marvel does. Long voiceover exposition, rather than putting it in the story. Lazy writing, no reason to care about any of the characters. Awful.

Okay so you have similar taste with the HBO shows. Don’t know many prime ones. Huh. Interesting! Oh well

Liked the glass onion. I’d recommend

Almost done with The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. This is pretty funny and trippy with Nic Cage doing Nic Cage.

IMDB write up:
Nicolas Cage is totally preoccupied with his career, his narcissism fueled by insecurity in being constantly pestered by the manifestation of his ego, "Nicky", in his failures. Those failures are currently real in no longer getting the film roles he wants, and that obsession negatively affecting his relationships with his ex-wife Olivia but more importantly his sixteen year old daughter Addy. Solely as an excuse to address that professional flailing, he decides to quit acting. But still needing to pay the bills, especially in light of the divorce, he accepts a lucrative private appearance in Mallorca at super-fan Javi Gutierrez's birthday party, Nic unaware that Javi is an aspiring screenwriter who wants him to star in his penned movie. Nic's arrival at Javi's catches the attention of CIA agents Vivian and Martin, who are investigating the politically motivated kidnapping of a young woman named Maria Delgado. This confluence of events places Nic in arguably the greatest acting role of his life, but one that is real life with implications of his life and that of his loved ones at risk. But in the greatest of cinematic traditions, not everything that happens around him is always as it appears on the surface.

Slow Horses is really good.

by **MiamiSpartan** 2023-01-22, 19:20

Holy shit, the new Night Court is god awful. The original was one of my favorite shows. I didn't have high expectations forbthe reboot, and I don't usually call shows out as being so bad, but damn. John Laroquette was MAYBE passable, but everyone else was so awkward and forced. Disney Channel shows have better, more comfortable acting.

by AvgMSUJoe 2023-02-24, 21:29

So my college aged kid said to watch "Puss in Boots:The last wish"... and sure as shit, it's pretty good. Some dark moments, pretty funny.

Miami, did you ever watch Bridge of Spies? It’s a 2015 film from Spielberg, starring Tom Hanks. Really interesting and based on a true story. Apologies if we discussed this. I wasn’t in the mood to look back to see and I’m a forgetful old man.

Yes, I have. Really enjoyed it. It's been a few years, but have been meaning to watch again whenever I see it when scrolling whichever streaming service it's on. I forgot it was Spielberg, but then again he and Hanks do so much history stuff together that it makes sense.
