TV/Movies Megathread

It was actually Munich; but as usual, Euopean antisemitism knows no bounds.

Munich was too slow.

[CountDeMoney]

Then up your Adderall.

I thought Munich was way too labored for no good reason.

I hadn't realized how long Steve-o has gone without a hit.

I hadn't realized how long Steve-o has gone without a hit.

He's been on Oscar bait auto-pilot for a while now.

He's got an adaptation of The Big Friendly Giant next year, and then he's supposedly directing Ready Player One. That book was really fun, and it's kinda an homage to his 80s work.

[Sophie Scholl]

To answer the question posed earlier:  Black Sails is watchable.  It takes about 4 episodes to become that way though.

Venture Brothers was entertaining.  Hopefully it will have been worth the wait.

[Eddie Teach]

Anyone else watching Billions on Showtime?

I just caught the first two episodes. Good stuff.

[Phillip V]

I was amused by the first episode of a new show executive produced by Steve Carell and starring Rashida Jones of The Office.  The series follows Angie Tribeca, a 10-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department's elite RHCU (Really Heinous Crimes Unit).

 I watched the first episode of something called the shanara chronicles. I've never read the books it is based off though the name does ring a bell.
Seemed to be possibly heading in an interesting direction with elves and humans in different worlds. ....but no.
Overall the quality is quite poor. Awkward dialogue and radical elves. It's like rivendell  90210.
I know. I know. In a fantasy setting there's no logical reason people can't have American accents. It looks like it may even be set in a  post apocalyptic America.  But jesus. That is too much.

For some reason HBO went all out and plastered all of Copenhagen with commercials for that show, the posters alone led me to the same conclusion as you though.

I really liked Bridge of Spies.

Has anyone been following The Expanse? And if so, is it any good?

I read the book it was based on, looked like it would make some good space opera if it was done right.

I think it's cute how people don't think Crystal Skull was a hit.

It is very good

It's funny how I keep completely erasing that movie from my mind. It has a decent case for being another counter to my "Spielberg doesn't make completely bad movies" statement.
