Yay

[The Minsky Moment]

Incorporated. Didn't grab me in the 1st episode.

No surprise.  The real action is in LLCs now.

I had to google it to understand the joke.  Good one

'Hateful Eight' - triumph of style over substance?

'Hateful Eight' - triumph of style over substance?

I thought it more substantial than several of his other, more successful, movies  . Not necessarily as enjoyable mind.

Tarantino is a hack.

Maybe I missed those as my mind was already numb from the bludgeon-like referencing to 'The Thing' ?

'Hateful Eight' - triumph of style over substance?

No.  Well, maybe.  In retrospect, I guess black and white men really can come together to [spoiler]lynch a white woman[/spoiler]; after all, we saw that exact thing happen on November 8th.

I think Designated Survivor is a lot more interesting.

I haven't given up on that one yet, but I feel it does make me go a bit too often.

Ugh, I just watched the first two episodes and was like really? How ham-fisted could the writing be? It's like they want to tackle many important issues of the day but want to handle them in the tritest/cliche possible fashion. I'm not sure if I can give it any further.

[spoiler]Like brown speech writer dealing with issues from cops, jerky governor who is going to do his own thing till stopped by a silly bluff that president reveals to his team is a bluff before governor has had chance to do anything, annoying teen kid doing illegal things, rambunctious general who wants things done his way and the oh so plucky female FBI agent who can intuit things no one else can.[/spoiler]

Yeah to all that...but it's still entertaining.

Haven't seen Hatefull Eight yet, but isn't it partially inspired by Cut-Throats Nine?

Love that that quote from The Psychotronic Video Guide is the selling point.   

While a little dated now (last updated in 1996), The Psychotronic Video Guide to Film is still required reading for fans of B-Movies.
