I didn't check every service so this might be rental only, but holy poo poo is First Reformed amazing. Just jumped way up the list of best films I've seen in the past few years.

Yeah easily. Who'd have thought Paul Schrader still had a movie like that in him.

Generalizations like that always sound pat. I've heard "times were bad, so people only wanted escapist art that made them feel better" and "times were bad, so people only wanted dark art that reflected the times they were living in" as well as "times were good, so people didn't see the need for uplifting art" and "times were good, so people looked for cynical art that reflected a different time" about pretty much any recent era or decade you'd care to name, because in any given time, there are examples of both succeeding or failing

Cardamommy Issues posted:The script is so drat bad in Wine Country. It had potential but the stakes are low, the jokes are lazy, and it overall feels cheap considering the cost of those actors. It’s like four people wrote the first draft and no edits were made. I think the thing that annoyed me the most was they kept bringing up the MDMA that one of them had and I was expecting a funny scene of them high but nope it's just ignored and never actually utilised.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I'm glad it wasn't just us being dicks. That cast has earned A LOT of good will, but it was appallingly bad -- the middle-aged lady equivalent of those worthless Adam Sandler movies that are an excuse for him to drag his old pals on a paid vacation somewhere. Wife and I in our 40's? Check. Did we grow up in the 80's? Check. Fans of Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Jason Schwartzman, and others in this movie? Check. Fan of wine? Hell yes. So I thought it would be the perfect movie for Mother's Day. Well it is by far the worst movie we have watched in 2019 (I can't think of anything worse I watched in 2018 either). I had the same thought about the script. It seemed like all the dialogue was improvised. I will not speak of the stupid 'dancing' bit they kept doing which was never funny in the first place. I truly hate this movie. Only positive I will say about it is Paula Pell has some really great skin for a 56 year old.

Shane Blacks The Predator is on HBOgo and I was not prepared at all for how bad it is. I don’t know what he was going for with this but it’s easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

I watched The Predator in the middle of an 11 hour flight with three screaming babies in my section, and I’d rather listen to the three babies for two hours than watch that terrible loving movie again.

Yeah. And Shane Black was even IN the first Predator. After watching his Predator we had to rewatch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang to remind us that he can make really good movies.

The Nice Guys was great too. And Iron Man 3 🤷🏻♂️ The Predator felt like a straight to video rip off of a major release.

I really enjoyed The wandering earth. It has a couple of flaws, and of course borrows from other work, but drat was that an entertaining and visually stunning movie.

Season 3 of Sneaky Pete is a disappointing slog. It's nice to see Peter Gerraty and Margo Martindale getting work but they're the only ones in the whole endeavor who actually seem like they give a gently caress. Also it appears that Ricky Jay might have died during filming because his plotline just drops and is concluded with a voiceover, which isn't a knock against the show; it's just depressing.

I really don't like how season 3 brings everyone into the con game. The show was much better when it was a family story at heart. I am a sucker for the heist aspect but I think season 1 is still above and beyond the best.

Made in Britain was indeed very good. It focused more on the sociology more than anything else, which is what made it worthwhile. Tim Roth was great. Glad it was recommended.

God drat, the recommendations for First Reformed were on point. That was easily the best movie I've watched this year. Such a beautifully shot movie, too. Everything seems very deliberately put together.

I've been watching Mega Food on Netflix, it is pretty interesting, but Sea World has dozens of 'good' restaurants in the park. Who goes to Sea World to eat overpriced food and not look at fish?
