TV/Movies Megathread

The Mandalorian's latest season could be skipped.  I guess it was something to watch if you had nothing else going on.

[Josephus]

Saw one episode and the only thought I had was England is lucky to have London or they'd be screwed

Do you believe Toronto fills the same position? 🧐

Toronto is definitely closer on the spectrum to London than it is Sunderland

I also lived in Hamilton for a while, so I know a shithole when I see one

I'm in Oshawa .

[Barrister]

Yeah. Most of them seem to be just promo pieces for the team.

Welcome to Wrexham I've been slowly watching but it doesn't appeal to me too much. I think it's the bouncing around that does it. Like the episode explaining what Wales is. A funny one off joke taken too far to a whole episodes length.

That's what I kind of liked about it - that it wasn't just a "here's what happened week by week".  Because it's a documentary that's coming out months after the on-the-field events there's not much surprise or interest that way.

And yes - sports documentaries have to walk a line of peeking enough behind the curtain to make them interesting but keeping enough privacy in order to keep the co-operation of the team.

Talking Sports documentaries that are interesting Man in the Arena The Tom Brady story was really interesting. Showed me an whole other perspective on events, that when they happened live, I was happy when he would lose & angry when he would have success.

I think a few of us have read The Anarchy - interesting PR puff piece in the Times on it being sold to a Bollywood producer (formerly Disney) plus a writer working on a TV adaptation. Really really hope this gets made eventually

Sexy Empress Matilda?

Alas, very un-sexy Clive.

I don't think it's doable.  Endless massive battles, endless subplots that would take season after season after season to fully narrate.

Sexy Empress Matilda?

Alas, very un-sexy Clive.

It doesn't hurt for guys to make an effort.

'Running with the Devil' - a quite enjoyable Nicolas Cage film, not outstanding, but film helped along with Lawrence Fishburne playing a real character.

[HVC]

A Sue-Ellen Braverman stand in makes an appearance in a very special episode^tm of Ted Lasso. I liked the episode over all, and the training parts were great.

[Syt]

It works for Sam as a character, though, because he had the storyline in the first season with the oil sponsor.

Really enjoyed the episode; coming home after work, Ted Lasso is like settling under a cozy blanket with a nice cup of tea

[HVC]

I had no problem with the storyline itself. It was actually heartwarming how it panned out. It was more the thinly veiled caricature that involuntarily rolled my eyes

[Syt]

That's fair

Though the language is not too out of character for Braverman, either.
