TV/Movies Megathread

[Admiral Yi]

The Incredibles 2.  Watchable, not a whole lot that's new, except maybe some fun baby super powers.  Elastigirl is not as hott as she was in 1.

[Berkut]

Nacho Libre.

That is some fine film-making right there.

[Sophie Scholl]

Good Omens.  Quite entertaining.  Definitely give it a go if you have Amazon Prime.

Finding it tough to make it through The Last Jedi.  Maybe a little fast forwarding is in order.

I liked it because of Sheen and Tennant, but it turned too silly for me at some point around episode 3 or 4.

[The Larch]

Nacho Libre.

That is some fine film-making right there.

And based on a real story!

Third season of Fargo - Not as good as the first two, imho, but Ewan McGregor is really great in it.

Third season of Jessica Jones - better than the second. They bring back a clear antagonist and it helps the show a lot. Even though the baddie itself is a vanilla Dexter reject, he's used very well to bring out the emotional conflict of the season. Sad to see those Marvel Netflix shows go

Instead of the fast forward button, I'd recommend pressing Stop. It's terrible.

The Last Jedi is the only Star Wars film I have watched only once*. I understand what they were going for (breaking the saga's cliches), but the result was extremely joyless with some really stupid parts.

*Yes, that means I've watched the prequels more than once. I apologize for that.

Yep me too. I have had no desire to rewatch it.

And on breaking the cliches: first of all, it got boring after the 6th cliche broken, and there was about 10 more to go.  I am clearly not as much of an edgelord as the director.

Secondly, there are countless movie options out there. If I want a break from Star Wars cliches I will watch something else than Star Wars. I watch Star Wars because I want to watch Star Wars. So if I sit down for Star Wars, give me Star Wars.

Star Wars.

How many times did  you watch Episode 1 ? 
This is way worse than the Last Jedi.

Yeah, one of the movie's problems is that at one point it looked like the writer/director was just going through a checklist of stuff he wanted to subvert, instead of you know, telling a compelling story.

Of course, now Disney will overcorrect and the new one will probably be completely safe and uninventive.

I was 21 and a huge geek at the time. I also saw it on the telly a few year ago, as reminder of what evils man is capable of.

Man, you have got a lot to atone for. I saw it once and it was enough to destroy to destroy my childhood illusions. Not to mention aging of 10-15 years instantly by becoming an old nostalgic fart (vieux con).
I tried rewatching them, not just episode I, some time ago and it has aged very well. Still awful.
