TV/Movies Megathread

They're making a five nights at Freddy's movie? Is the tank really that low?

Honestly I think it looks pretty decent. For a horror film certainly.
The game has never appealed to me for a bunch of reasons but I do remember  being quite fasincated by it nonetheless. It's a nice horror idea.

Wasn't there a low budget Nic Cage flick a few years ago that was basically using the FNAF premise?

He was never particularly evil, was he? Just a smarmy womanizer. Which he still is, trying to get nate to cheat.

He kind of finished off as evil last season; throwing Lasso under the bus and joining the dark side of the force.

Yeah. Which I hear is great fun, in a batshit crazy Nick Cage movie kind of way.

Ted Lasso.  Watched the last episode. Did I miss something? Why is Nate not with the team ? Why is he so depressed?

Yeah, Willy's Wonderland. Not the worst Cage movie but certainly not good.

Watching Inventing Anna, about Anna Delvey aka Anna Sorokin, about the fake German heiress who swindled NY.  I feel trashy about watching it and in the grander scheme it's a meaningless story but it is holding my attention.

Labyrinth (1986)

Released between the non-threatening boy stars of the 1970s (Donny Osmond, Michael Jackson, Shaun Cassidy) and the non-threatening boy bands of the late 80s (New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men) this was an odd time in which it was considered healthy for an adolescent girl to fantasize about a sex gargoyle.

 

David Bowie certainly fit the bill complete with leather, ballet tights, codpiece and a shock wig.  (I remember seeing this movie in the theaters when it was first released and my mother thought the goblin king was really strange.)  A young Jennifer Connelly does a good job conveying the growth and maturity of the character as she goes on her heroine's quest.  The puppetry was as great as always, and still holds up well.  The film's biggest weakness is that the story wanders quite a bit; most likely from too many scriptwriters and too many revisions of Terry Jones's original script (in "The Making Of" documentary they had to bring Jones back in to put jokes back since they had been taken out in the many rewrites.)

Just finished up The Electric Mayhem. I enjoyed it.  Not as good as the Muppet series from about 10 years ago, but it was fun.  The theme song is catchy.

There is only one episode left of Succession and my only ambition in life this week is to remain alive long enough to watch the series finale on Sunday.

Late to the party about military tv shows, but I've watched Generation Kill 3 times now. It's very good.

Spoiler:  Bran Stark gets it.

I thought Roman's emotional collapse was out of character?

[Tamas]

No, in fact
