Also sounds like the GOT prequel is gonna be pretty amazing stuff. Yes to Ozark. I'll be curious to see what Billions looks like with Axe no longer in the picture. It was weird, I really like Corey Stoll, the guy who played Mike Prince (he was awesome on House of Cards) he just didn't really resonate with me when he joined the show. It could be that I think Billions has jumped the shark and it's really hard to keep a show fresh. I mean, the writing is getting ridiculous with so many pop culture references. That being said, if they keep giving me Wags, I'll keep watching. Quote Link to comment

Great performances by all, especially Paul Dano. I almost feel like they didn't use/show Dano enough but when you see how it ends it makes sense. I had never heard of the movie until the other day.

I should fire it up for a rewatch but man, it's such a heavy movie that I really need to be in the right headspace to enjoy it. Now thinking back about it, Gyllenhaal is also really good in it (Jackman is too, but that goes without saying.) Quote Link to comment

I think because the movie is so dark and because it was NC-17 originally, that it got snubbed come Oscar time. Oscar voters seem to only like "dark' if it is based off a war or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment
SECHusker Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Just watched the 3rd season of Westworld. I really enjoyed it. Far simpler to follow than season 2. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Watching some 1883, not bad, a little over the top with the shooting and killing. Also, 90% of all frontier women must have been models. 1 Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Started watching this last night: True story of Gwen Shamblin and her religious weight-loss cult. Pretty wild stuff and I'm not just talking about her hair 1 Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Season 4 Cobra Kai thoughts @teachercd Spoiler Compared to the other seasons this was easily the worst one. I can't help but mention how unlikable LaRusso's kids are, the younger kid is a jerk and the daughter is obviously not athletic at all. I mean, come on, on what planet is she making the finals of the All Valley? Now, LaRusso's wife is terrific and she is the lone bright spot. I'm just bummed out to see the show moving away from what is the best part which is Johnny's relationship with Miguel. It was funny seeing Terry Silver come back and he looks awesome for someone in their 60s and still moves really well. I don't like seeing Kreese being cast as a good guy, he's awesome as a villain, just stick with that. That kid who plays Kenny was superb! Awesome seeing the heel turn by him at the end.

So I thought season 3 was the worst. I think they are trying to make Danny less likeable and Johnny moree likeable. All the kid scenes are lame but I think that has more to do with the fact that we are fans of Dan and John, that is what we love and have loved. Danny still living his life by the teachings of a dead guy is getting a little old. 1 Quote Link to comment

I dug Season 3, I liked to throwback to the Okinawa plotline and I love Elisabeth Shue so it was great seeing Ali back. The last episode was so preposterous though. I mean fighting in the house of all places? Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment

I do wish Ali was back for good, I am guessing she did not want to have a big part because that would clearly be a big draw to have her back on the show. 1 Quote Link to comment

Archy1221 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 For anyone who watches Dexter, go ahead and skip most of the season and especially especially the final episode. What a horrible piece of trash writing. It’s like the writers just gave up and did a season for a money grab. Such a disappointment. 1 Quote Link to comment
