The ending feels so earned. Stonebridge and Scott in strike back are a little better but Rome is an absolutely amazing show. Also strike back is streaming on prime and everyone should watch it

RestingB1tchFace posted:Ok....I am watching Sicario: Day of the Soldado. There is an entire lengthy scene of Benicio Del Toro's character with the coyotes....and they are speaking entirely in spanish. Should there be subtitles going on for this? There isn't and I feel like I am missing something. It's been going on for several minutes now..... I think with that movie they were trying to go with the perspective of characters and the audience being observers to stuff that they don't understand. I think that kind of worked with the major humvee fight where the camera is showing what the little kid would see but it doesn't work or is really inconsistent for the rest of the movie. Regardless if what I am trying to say makes sense, I loved Sicario and was super bummed that day of the soldat didn't live up to it.

pootiebigwang posted:Randomly decided to start The Shield as I've never seen it and I am a little over half way through S2 and this show is just bonkers. I recently did a re-watch of The Wire which I think made the first few episodes of The Shield feel incredibly jarring. The Wire is just so grounded and The Shield is just so bombastic that it took a few episodes to really gel with how they wanted to tell their story. But I'm all in now. I hear it does nothing but ramp up from here on out which has me hyped because S2 has been pretty crazy so far. Armadillo is the perfect sadistic antagonist for Vic to go after so I hope there are some more characters like that who really push Vic to his limits. I am doing a rewatch now as well, its easily one of my favorite shows ever. And yeah Forest Whitaker showing up rules but the Glenn Close and Anthony Anderson season is awesome. Also it gave us Frank Grillo and Walton Goggins

The Tomorrow War is really not good, the acting is really really bad (with the exception of JK Simmons), the science montages are filmed like they are from a bad 90s tv show and the movie itself feels like it's several different movies cut together but holy poo poo the future war scenes filled me with a sense of dread that I haven't felt from a movie in some time. Its an almost recommend just for that (but holy poo poo it's so long...)

Alchenar posted:It's amazing how J.K Simmons can take about 6 lines of bad dialogue and a humdrum action sequence and still somehow turn in a performance that feels legitimately good. And compare Chris Pratt's acting with when he first meets him to the scene right after where he is talking to his daughter. Simmons definitely pulled Pratt up closer to his level because holy poo poo the daughter scene was like something out of a high school play.

Yeah there's the line of "The UN will talk about it forever", but come on... I mean or they have that toxin now so how is Pratt able to walk off a military base with it instead of turning it over to the military who then spends the next thirty years making a shitload of weapons with it and then the war is over in a half day

I mean yeah nothing with the books is correct, the author is British so anything gun related makes no sense, Reacher is so muscular a bullet bounced off his chest, a special forces CID unit makes no sense and every book follows the same pattern where stuff gets worse and worse and then he punches all the bad guys to death and it's great.

That's weird, I get all the local channels with Sling which is why I use it for football season. Then I have my separate paramount app if the games are on CBS and then the NBC app for Sunday night. It is a massive massive pain and yeah I have no idea why local channels don't just stream for free. For whatever reason I had a digital antenna that worked great and then one season just stopped picking up any channels. I even bought a brand new one but couldn't get anything.

nonathlon posted:Can't agree with the first point, but it is surprising that they couldn't get a franchise of some sort out of Clive Cussler. Hadn't the series now passed on to Dirk's children, Dirk Jr and Summer Pitt? It was briefly discussed in the make fun of Clive Cussler thread in GBS but apparently Cussler was such a raging rear end in a top hat that he and the studios were suing each other for like ten years after Sahara.

I watched the majority of it since I like westerns but it's purely "dad" tv. It also gets pretty stupid at parts and likes killing off the female characters for no reason. Also I haven't seen it in years but I am fairly confident that Common's story arc ends with him thinking he is a bear and then dying in a fistfight

Class Warcraft posted:Watching Nobody and Riders of Justice in the same week was an interesting experience. Both were advertised as John Wick-style revenge/rampage tales, but really couldn’t be any more different. I love Riders of Justice and recommend it any chance I get. Probably my favorite movie from the last ten years. I feel like Nobody would have been better if instead of having him freeze up at the beginning, it had him attempt to fight back and just get his rear end kicked because of an unlucky slip or lucky hit from the home invaders. Then the bus fight could have been an attempt to regain his confidence instead of making it some middle age white guy power fantasy and the movie could have gone from there.

One of my favorite movies from the last ten years is now streaming on Hulu. I really hate to use terms like "deconstruction" but Riders of Justice staring Mads Mikkelsen is just absolutely fantastic and really not the revenge thriller that the trailer makes it out to be. It's also darkly funny (I honestly wouldn't know how to classify the movie) and has some really strong supporting performances.

Warrior is by the director of Fast 5 and the creator of Banshee so somehow the universe tapped directly into my brain to create it. Fantastic show. People already said The Raid movies but Headshot and The Night Comes for us is by the same stunt team for those movies and they are just brutal action movies. Also head over to the action thread for tons more recommendations.

Basebf555 posted:With Sheridan I feel like the greatness of Sicario seems weirder and weirder as I see each of his projects and how uncreative and predictable they are. Like, even the one I liked(Hell or High Water) is still a pretty standard story that never really deviates from what's expected. And I'm definitely in the "Wind River is mediocre at best" camp, I never really got the love for that movie. I actually enjoyed Those That Wish Me Dead more than Wind River. Sicario probably works for you since you are more of an outsider throughout the movie. Sheridan is good at giving sympathy to unlikable people so in Sicario 2 when you are just stuck with Del Toro and Brolin it doesn't work well. I don't think you are actually supposed to like most of the characters in his movies/show but Americans are dumb so you get lots of Yellowstone manly memes.

If the main character in Warrior kicking the poo poo out of two ice agents 30 seconds into the first episode doesn't do it for you, you probably won't enjoy the show.

nonathlon posted:Watching Harder They Fall and finding it a mixed experience. The film looks good, and I'm interested in the story. But there's a huge cast of badasses and endless scenes of them posing menacingly and then being badasses and humiliating non-badasses ... It feels like it needs to be dialed back at least 50% Honestly that's one of the things I loved about the movie. I love westerns but pretty much all modern ones are just dour ultra serious slogs so it was nice to have one that was actually fun to watch.
