TV/Movies Megathread

Can anyone speak to OJ: Made in America? Is it really as good as they say it is? The thing is 8 hours long and I don't want to make a time commitment to something overrated.

Have you watched any of it yet?  I would have to invest not only time but also some money to see it, so an opinion would be appreciated.  If anything, though, I think the earlier segments (pre-trial) have the most potential to be interesting/novel, so that might weigh in favor of starting it.

I have so far watched the first three episodes. It is quite good, imo, and I am learning a lot about the circumstances of the case. The first episode is a good indicator of what to expect through the whole miniseries. If you can just get a look at that, go for it and see if you think it is worth the time.

I'm still annoyed I missed out on that Knicks-Rockets playoff game when OJ took his ride.

I got so laid that night.  But I had to wait for the pursuit to end first.

Watched Predestination, an Aussie adaptation of Heinlein's "All you zombies". Decent enough, although the terrorist plot they added to pad up the original story feels tacked on. Recommended viewing for those liking time travel mind-fucks, although I guess that even if you haven't read the original short story the twists can be seen a mile away if you're familiar with the genre.

In retrospect, it is a little predictable, [spoiler]but only if you realize how far they're willing to go, to the extent there's close to only one character in the whole movie.[/spoiler]  Either way, I dug it a lot.  I like the Spierig Bros.; Daybreakers, for all its weaknesses, and even accepting that it's not at all a high bar, is still probably the best vampire movie of the past decade or so, maybe longer, and certainly the one with the highest concept.

Watched Death Note for like the fourth time.  Always a blast.

I saw the one with Cuba Gooding. Never knew Fuhrman plead the5th when asked if he planted evidence.

Didn't know OJ's pop was gay.

Started watching Peaky Blinders. Very good so far. Charismatic performances, great work recreating the setting, better-than-most-movies cinematography and camera work.I love high-caliber brit shows. Plus you can catch up on 3 seasons for the price of one American season.

I really dig that show.

Collateral Beauty- Meh. Meh meh meh. Thinks so much of itself but delivers pure cheese. Not awful. But meh.

You've been waiting all year for this.

I did at first, but season 3 lost me.
