this was one of the most ridiculous movies i've ever seen. it contains all of the following:
the least comprehensible plot i've ever experienced
literally the worst dubbing i've ever heard
boobs
vampires(?)
a blatant robocop ripoff
a gorilla mask
so many mustaches
so much denim
highly recommended

If you have a 4K setup and don't buy 1917, you're missing out big time.

Netflix - The Platform (Spain, 2019). A bit... uncomfortable.

Sure, the memes are everywhere—but I haven't been able to get Tiger King out of my head.

Season 3 finale of The Sinner. Another fantastic season.
Bill Pullman was extraordinary, as always. He is such an underrated actor. And Matt Bomer was at the very top of his game.
I really hope there'll be another season.

Just watched this...
Not bad, a touch on the slow side... but interesting characters. Definitely Canadian though... Timbits and all. In some ways I don't think it was quite polished/tight enough to be a movie-movie... but maybe like a Netflix release. Maybe a stage play...

Looks decent. Did you watch it and if you did, did you like it?Originally Posted by Substance242

Yes of course and I did, I wouldn't post this otherwise. Sometimes I had to look away for a second though...
Anyway, another intersting one - The Hunt. Last time I internally laughed with guilty feeling "I'm not sure if this over the top on purpose or is something wrong with me" was with "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Also, POTUS supposedly tweeted about this one and maybe it's not "politically correct", but at least over here we don't care that much... ;-)

Watched this a few times already...

as a psycho college bball fan who had his favorite time of year stolen from him, I have to get my fix somewhere (even though this is about HS ball). Yes it's a bit of a formulaic bball movie, but it does throw some swerves at you later on. And Affleck is just flat out excellent in this. Obviously lots of parallels between his character and real life Ben. He really carries the movie & deserves your attention. Some good bits of comic relief along the way too.

It was decent. Reminiscent of that Cube movie.
Throbbing Member
Is this in reference to Platform? Yes, reminded me of Cube. I thought it was decent as well.

This was great. Details the real life kidnapping of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty's grandson in 1973 Italy. Drags a bit maybe 3/4 of the way through & gets a little repetitive, but that's really my only complaint. Everyone is solid in this, even Wahlberg! He tones his standard schtick down almost completely here, only hinting towards it once in a speech to Christopher Plummer. Plummer is fantastic (shocker) as miserable, penny pinching oil tycoon J. Paul Getty. You REALLY hate him by the end of this. He drives alot of the action here, as the plot centers around the ransom being demanded for his grandson.

great movie in the Erin Brockovich mold. Follows the infamous Dupont/Teflon scandal that is still a major problem to this day, and has extended out to similar chemicals being made all over the world by other chemical companies too. Ruffalo is great here, as is Bill Camp. Scary stuff.

No Devs thread?! I'm 4 episodes in, and I absolutely love it.
Throbbing Member
DEVS deserves wayyyy more attention! It's lived up to my high expectations so far. <3
Any self-respecting fans of Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, so much more) owe it to themselves to seek it out.

Been watching EVERY Arnold Schwarzenegger movie he stars in even going back to The Villain. But dam, I don't see anyone ever topping this man as the top action hero.

finally started it a few days ago at @otnavuskire 's suggestion. i was tense IMMEDIATELY (as i am with all alex garland's stuff) and the first episode was so emotionally exhausting that i'm just finally watching episode 2 now.

We started Community since it's on Netflix now. I think my son likes it, because I got a text from my wife yesterday saying "he wants to know if you have to be here for us to keep watching community".
we watched episodes 5-8 last night. there are so many jokes that it's hard to keep track sometimes. off the cuff comments like telling Jeff to go watch something on the E! network that don't seem funny but are because maybe you know that at the time he hosted a show on E! otherwise you wouldn't laugh. I used that as an example because I laughed and my wife and son both looked at me and asked why that was funny. Heck, there are even jokes in the subtitles because sometimes something you barely hear is subtitled so you see a throwaway joke instead of hearing it.
It's also fun seeing people in the show that later became bigger stars.

I signed up for the one month trial of Showtime, so I'm watching the last season of Homeland. Pretty good so far.

What's the on-demand boxing situation? The website search is pretty bunk and throws in a bunch of documentaries and other sports.

i love the whole run of the show, even the so-called "gas-leak" season. yeah, it's not as good as some of the other seasons, but it's not bad by any means. people act like the show "died" without dan harmon, but i think it did fine. besides, he needed some time to sort out his shit.We started Community since it's on Netflix now.

I have no idea. I can poke around there later tonight and see.

Homeland seasons 1-3 are incredible. Anything after that is good/ not great. This final season has proved to be very good so far tho, and understandably so. Hoping it ends in a great way.

I liked 1, 2, and 4 so far. 3, 5, 6 just blew in my opinion.
I'm crossing my fingers the final end isn't horrible.

Kong: Skull Island.
It's about how Captain Marvel, Loki and Dey from the Nova Corps come together to stop Nick Fury when he finds himself in an argument with a giant ape.
It's quite good!

Kong Skull Island is brainless done right. it's a fine line.
