snoot posted:The Boys is great but the violence in it is so juvenile and unnecessary, it's like they asked a bunch of 14 year old boys what they'd want to see a supervillain do. Also Butcher and the C word - he said 'oval office' in every sentence during one long scene I mean, he is Australian

Sloth Life posted:I'm English and female, if someone called me that I'd be really loving upset. Its a horrible word. For sure but I thought we were talking about how boys often call each other that word, not how boys call women that word? Of course it's bad to call a woman that

The Trial of the Chicago 7 is extremely legit, even if you don't normally like Sorkin. Sacha Baron Cohen makes a great Abbie Hoffman.

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:It’s really faithful to the original It's not just white trash. At the rich debutante ball he asks the old Asian guy "how much is my daughter worth" and the guy whispers "500" and the Asian guy's daughter just gives this look and says something like "you're loving disgusting" and it's the most amazing, honest thing

Shageletic posted:i just read a take of Sorkin as a great storyteller/artist who is absolutely infected with morals and values. Its the reason why all his characters are smart white men that list going into Harvard within their first sentence of dialogue. Sorkin is a terrible man whose awfulness in real life is well documented. It is weird, isn't it? I think that Trial of the Chicago 7 is a better film than Pain and Gain (barely) but I would say that Pain and Gain is more "honest". At the same time, I think Bay is probably (barely) more of an rear end in a top hat. I lowkey hate Sorkin but I dunno, I liked Trial. Maybe liberal fanfiction was what I needed lol.

Cithen posted:The Third Day is pretty good. It's strange though, I wouldn't have known this series existed if it weren't for this thread. There is no advertising for it and it doesn't even get represented in the HBOMax app very well. HBO advertised it heavily a few months ago, but yeah it's been oddly low key. I didn't even know Jude Law was is in it until I watched it

teagone posted:Yeah, Anya Taylor-Joy is great in Emma. She's also going to be Furiosa in George Miller's upcoming Fury Road prequel. I haven't seen New Mutants, but looks like its digital release is in a couple weeks. Movie is prolly trash, but she looks great as Magik. New Mutants is actually really good trashy fun and surprisingly faithful to the darker tone the comic had in its first 30 or so issues

Mother, the new Japanese Netflix film, not related to Mother, the Korean horror film, or mother!, the Aronofsky film, is really great. I don't know what to compare it to other than maybe The Florida Project.

Finally finished off Bly Manor. While I certainly understand why some prefer Hill House, I thought they were roughly equal. I think Bly has a stronger start and Hill House had the stronger ending though.

New Nick Frost and Simon Pegg thing on Amazon Prime Video where Frost leads a team of goofy Youtube ghost hunters who stumble onto some real paranormal conspiracy poo poo. At least I think that's the idea. It's good but it's insanely slow, it doesn't really get going until like episode 4

tweet my meat posted:Truth Seekers is a weird show. It's a comedy horror, but it leans a lot further towards the creepy horror side of things than you'd expect while still carrying itself like a comedy. It makes for a very odd feeling show, but I'm still really enjoying it. My only issue is that it feels like the scripts needed just one more pass through a writer's room. Had a weird half baked feeling. Malcolm McDowell was great though
