TV/Movies Megathread

I've been watching cobra kai.
It's one of those so bad it's good things. Guessing the clichés before they happen. Such an American teen show from the distant past.... Today.

[Grey Fox]

Those are really good stats, Mery.

It didn't star that way of course. But at some point, it's already existing story you can only stray so far from what the original authors wrote.

Does the data exist for Star Trek Discovery? That's show is 100% original & had from the start 2 strong female lead.

I pulled these stats myself. They weren't anywhere that I could find.

Now, compare these stats with those you would pull from Star Trek: The Next Generation or the original Battlestar Galactica.

The Gentlemen (2020)

It was okay.

I don't understand what the issue is here. If you don't like it don't watch it? Nobody's is forcing you

Had lunch at my parents' place today and somehow we ended up binging Mission: Impossible 4-5-6 

These movies are so much fun.

I've been rewatching the American office.

Man Kelly is evil.
Didn't really pick up on that first time.

[The Larch]

Joaquin Phoenix has just had a baby boy with Rooney Mara, and he's going to be named River. 

[Eddie Teach]

She's just vapid and self-absorbed.

I thought Meri made it pretty clear what the issue is. I disagree with her and think her being upset at the show is pretty silly, but she's made her reasons for being upset very clear.

Has anyone watched any of "Lovecraft Country"?  I started watching it and then it suddenly turns into the Dukes of Hazard and I thought that was stupid and turned it off.  Does it get better later on?

It gets really weird in later episodes. I love it, but I can uderstand people not liking it at all. The last episode could've been straight off Legion.

It's also certainly quite "in your face" regarding the racism/sexism themes, which I find provocative but again, may not be everybody's cup of tea. I just love weird, ambitious, and creatively aggressive shows even if they don't always succeed.

Funny, for my entire life the words "CBC comedy" equals, well, shit.  So never watched a moment of that show.

Now it's winning awards.  What a funny world we live in.

I think Kim's Convenience is CBC too. That's also a decent bit of light TV. Not going to make any best comedy ever lists but definitely better than most of the stuff out there.

Kids in the Hall. Also CBC

The one exception.

This Hour has 22 minutes and the Rick Mercer Report?

Or didn't you watch shows that were critical of Conservative politicians?

Also Little Mosque on the Prairie was great.

This Hour / Rick Mercer are painfully unfunny.  Next you're going to be telling me about Air Farce.

Never watched Little Mosque.
