bort posted:I found The Irishman exhausting. Scorsese's needledrops are so tired, and his choices are so predictable. All the dialog is in this ridiculous code that almost seems improvised at this point, since all of these actors have hundreds of hours playing what’s essentially the same character. By far the best, freshest performance in the whole thing is Jim Norton's cameo as Don Rickles. Pesci plays a character completely different than any of his other mob roles.

big trivia FAIL posted:this also bothered me - if i hadn't been binging i wouldve quit watching after 2 episodes. i dont know anything about the watchmen, but the first 5 episodes felt like there was just a ton of lore i was supposed to know about but didnt (turned out i didn't really need to as you say, the last few episodes tie it all together) The show is much better if you haven't read the comic.

Yeah didn't a cop kill a person recently while wildly trying to shoot a dog running at him. I think they were called specifically to help the woman too.

Detective No. 27 posted:I watched The Confession Killer right after I finished Don't gently caress With Cats. I was kinda bored with the first episode but it got me hooked with episode 2. I somehow never heard of Henry Lee Lucas before it. The show also did a good job revealing how much the Texas Rangers' reputation is total propaganda. Check out Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer sometime.

Detective No. 27 posted:Does anyone else find the pushback against the Netflix model of dropping an entire season to be weird? The arguments in favor to the traditional weekly model mostly all revolve around keeping hype around the show, rather than the content of the show itself. Hype being the most important thing. Yeah it's dumb. I got some pushback in the Better Call Saul thread when I said every show should drop all at once at this point. Their argument was you can't really discuss the show which I don't really care about I just want to watch the show.

enigmahfc posted:Dropping everything at once just feels like it feeds into an ADHD mentality of "get as much poo poo out as fast as possible", and that tends to not be in line with quality, most of the time. Dropping all episodes at once does mean people are more forgiving of mediocre shows, I feel. Like, if you're going to sit down and power through 10 hours of a show in 1-3 days, you're not really absorbing anything other than the highlights. You don't really have time to reflect on a show and if you even really like it or not; you just finish it than go to another. Nah. Drop it all at once and let people choose.

Nah. When we'd talk about it at work we'd have to be careful because some people would wait a couple weeks to catch up because of life or whatever. Wouldn't have made a difference had they (properly) dropped the season all at once since everyone was at different point anyway. It's getting your meal all at once instead of a side per day not having ice cream for dinner.

Scorsese is one of the few people that can get away with it. I'm not sure why so many people try to do it because 99.9 percent of the time it's dumb as poo poo and like you both said detracts from the show/movie.

It's weird they're dropping Narcos on Thursday instead of the normal Friday - does it really make a difference if people binge it on Saturday because they were too busy with Valentine's Day?

There wouldn't be a profit motive (which is why both Fox News and the GOP exist) in a post-scarcity socialist utopia.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Star Trek doesn’t depict a post-scarcity socialist utopia. Why did I even have to check who posted this. IShallRiseAgain posted:Profit motive isn't the only reason that someone would want to manipulate the opinions of the masses. Money is just the most tangible and easily measured form of power, but people still have desires for other forms of power. Why would there be an internal power imbalance in a post-scarcity society? There are no rich on top that need to get a portion of the population that isn't ultrarich on their side to work against their material interests.

Good point keep talkin posted:The Columbia seasons had a lot more carryover between them so they used Mexico to differentiate the two. Oh I meant location titles as in when a scene changes. On the last episode I watched it had WASHINGTON DC on screen when it was pretty obvious that's where the scene was and if it wasn't it'd be clear in less than a minute.

wormil posted:Hereditary left me not knowing how to feel, I don't know if I liked it, I have no idea how to rate it. It is well acted and directed with an ominous sound track but not very inspired, clever, or original. It's a good movie but not great. The way it treats a horrific outcome as triumphant is pretty original. It's what I find most disturbing about it and Midsommar. I don't think either is a comedy though each has funny bits.

Inspector Hound posted:I don't really remember, so now I'm awaiting this with dread. I'm going to enjoy it until then, though. They set up a bunch of mysteries and then the answers come out of nowhere and are stupid because they didn't want reddit figuring it out. Plus they fell in love with "this person is actually a host!" It makes me 100 percent believe that Nolan's "we planned out five seasons" thing was a lie because I can't imagine planning that out or having us leave the park after only two seasons. flatluigi posted:I fell off watching s2 about halfway and might pick it back up if people say season 3 is good According to another thread, episode 1 looked like they were going to make a comeback and then 2 was just awful.

Better Call Saul is the best TV show on right now and it's not close (it's hilarious four of the seasons lost the Emmy to the ALL the bad seasons of Game of Thrones). Mike knows that generally speaking the people a vet has in his rolodex for unsavory work aren't going to be the brightest or the actual toughest of the bunch. He knows they aren't say cartel enforcers and you'll notice Mike doesn't treat Nacho and his muscle the same way. As to your first complaint - pride goeth before a fall. People don't act logically/rationally in real life all the time. They often act totally opposite for seemingly bizarre reasons. It's pretty clear by the point you're at (and gets clearer and clearer as the show goes on) that Jimmy is smart and hard-working in specific ways but often undermines himself because of either being stuck in his ways or wanting to get back at someone else.
