[OFF TOPIC] Movies & TV Series Thread


Recommended Posts

In what continues to be and amazingly good month for me, my phone carrier offered my family and free yearlong subscription to Disney+ :d. So I went ahead and watched the first two episodes of the Mandolorian. Damn good show so far, highly recommend (especially for Star Wars fans obviously). I’m starting to think I should have a movie/television themed podcast. I think I need to get more involved in the industry first though, thankfully that’s not an issue when you live close to Hollyweed :p

I have rarely been more impressed by a TV show than Watchmen. Holy shit, it’s good. HBO is really saving itself from the GOT fallout with this one. Oh, what a glorious show.

@OlympicIRL I think I’d still qualify “His Dark Materials” as fun concept, but no meet still. I like where the series is heading, but the plot needs to thicken a bit from here on out.

The pace definitely picked up in the third episode which is good. It's really well produced and that alone is enough to keep my attention. As you say though, would like the plot to thicken a bit more to allow for more twists to be thrown into plot further on. But happy enough to continue watching :)

Right it’s not perfect, but it’s definitely enjoyable. Television is doing pretty well this year compared to movies in my opinion. The quality has been better overall. Besides, 2 or 3 blockbusters this year, movies have largely been a bust in my opinion.

Oh My God! I cannot put into words how amazing what I just saw was. If you can only see one movie this year, I wholeheartedly recommend “Won’t You Be My Neighbor”. Master fucking class in cinema. I know I’ve been highly critical of the movie industry this year, but that film saved the entire year for me. I rarely, and I mean rarely, give out a perfect score, but today is a historical day. “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” 10/10! The camera angles, shots, pans 10/10. The acting 15/10. Tom Hanks pulls off another amazing piece of art. Every other actor carries their weight too. The story itself 12/10. The writing 15/10. I have never wanted a movie to win best picture more. If this film isn’t nominated and given the honor it will be an outrage. The interesting thing is that it is the exact opposite of Joker. The Oscars could quite literally be a battle between the light-side and the dark-side this year. I seriously hope that all of you get the chance to watch the film. There’s much more I’d love to say, but spoiling it for y’all would be unfair.

    • My guess is Women’s football is where we will see some players refusing to go to the Olympics in protest at having to take a test. Feels like that’s one here they are some biological women who would do that. Maybe a few others    Could be the odd country where legal or political challenges cause issue for events. Particularly ones where local authorities have more power as urban ones where majority of sporting event are held more likely to be left wing and liberal.
