danny mcbride, get this, plays a character who thinks he's a super cool badass party guy who makes tons of 80s pop culture references and pretends to know martial arts but is actually a big loser and failson. huge departure for him, I know

the show is actually pretty good except it overuses a few jokes

its insane how he has managed to play this character for 3 shows now, all of which are super good

justified is a good show but it's just regular old fun tv. it can't step to, idk, the wire or the first season of true detective. and to be clear it's not trying to - just make sure to set your expectations appropriately

i think we watched a season or two and just kinda never came back to it. nothing wrong with it, but 🤷‍♀️

oh i finished the samurai trilogy recently. it was pretty good, but nothing special really. it's not in the same league as kurosawa or harakiri, is more of a "real movie" than zatoichi or (especially) lone wolf and cub. i'm glad i watched it because they're considered classics that i now have a opinion on, but i can't imagine watching them again. if they weren't sort of touchstones of samurai cinema, they wouldn't have been worth a trilogy (though any of the three would definitely be worth a watch, if that makes sense)

justified is great but a lot of episodes are just "lets watch raylan be a badass again"

also his hat is dumb

if I had to relate justified to another show I’d say it reminds me of dexter. not what it’s about but the framework of a srs business crime show and then just the most ridiculous possible poo poo happens pretty much every episode. also good acting managing to overcome some hammy scripts and good villains

similar vibes, if you will

I'm watching Renfield with nick cage and it's "good". it's amazingly 2000s aesthetic

it's a movie to watch while you pass out on the couch and the DVD menu starts looping

sometimes you have a way of describing things that fully sells me on it

imo dracula 2000 was great for what it was

is that the invisible man that was on sci-fi channel eventually? i remember that being not too serious fun

anyways, atlantis was my favorite stargate; pure distilled sg adventures in an alien setting with warrior poets fighting space vampires. it was a fun watch and it wasn't trying to be heady and heavy all the time

sga is the best stargate because they nailed the balance of adventure and comedy. shepard is like kirk + han solo, mckay is rear end in a top hat spock, and ronon is chewbacca. its great

the problem is SG1 doesnt have a good release. the best official video quality is on the blu ray where the studio did an upscale. It looks significantly better than the dvds, but the audio is total poo poo cause they hosed up the channel mix.

SG doesn’t get better than RDA hamming it up in the earlier seasons. I think too many people are remembering SG-1 after the like 3rd time they wrote a series finale
