TV/Movies Megathread

12 Monkeys (the TV series). Yay or nay?

Background: I love time travel shit.

I like this series pretty well, I give it a yay. Check it out and see if you like it.

[Eddie Teach]

Punch-Drunk Love. Adam Sandler gets to act like himself but doesn't try to be funny, so he actually does a passable job.

Watched The Searchers on Netflix for the first time in yoinks. Still an amazing movie.

Spanish Netflix has a pretty awful selection of classics. They seem to be focusing almost exclusively on stuff made after 2000 to get the millenials on board I guess. 

[Syt]

Yeah, the selection in Austria isn't great, either. And I don't know if I got Searchers only because I'm currently in Switzerland.

Room.

After being liberated, a 5 year old boy, raised in captivity, discovers the world.
The mother was captured by a pedophile at 17, she was locked up in a shack, where she presumably gave birth to the boy.  As the movie starts, they celebrate his 5th birthday and the mom is trying to convince him now that it's not "space" out of the shack, but an entire world, with real trees, real people.

Finally liberated, the boy has some trouble adjusting to real life.

It's a fascinating movie.

Been meaning to watch that one.
It sounds like a grim dark kimmy schmidt.

Because the premise behind Kimmy Schmidt wasn't? 

Anyway, it's a good movie; just the sort of thing Brie Larson needed to pull away from Scott Pilgrim-land and into real Hollywood orbit.

Nah, wasn't really all that grim a premise in Kimmy Schmidt as they treated it with constant levity and you never had to think that they were subjected to terrible shit.

[The Brain]

Batman vs Superman. What the FUCK did I just watch? I mean I knew it was gonna be bad...

Cleopatra (1963)

I would not have expected that Augustus Caesar would be portrayed as such a weasaly character.

You mean Cornelius?     And was Martin Landau always 60 years old?

That entire movie is a magnificent classic piece of shit. Fortunately, Liz's tits have their own gravitational pull.

Did you notice Carroll O'Connor as Casca? Blink and you miss it.
