TV/Movies Megathread

[Ed Anger]

Watched the new Dave Chapelle shows on Netfux. Enjoyed both of them. I bet some chicks have got their panties in a wad.

[celedhring]

Going through season 4 of Peaky Blinders.

This show is so much fun.

Going through season 4 of Peaky Blinders.

This show is so much fun.

Yeah, big improvement on season 3 I thought. Adrien Brody, like Tom Hardy, just about manages not to be too hammy in reprising Marlon Brando.

Season 4 of Black Mirror is the weakest so far IMO. A couple of very good episodes but too dependent on implants/digital copies. Seems even Brooker can run out of ideas.

Season 3 was a big dark mess.

[Josquius]

I could just never get into Peaky Blinders. My mother loves it though. It picks up after the first few episodes?


Black Mirror S4E3

[spoiler]Very slow paced. But...it works. I like.
Unsure where it's meant to be set. Filmed in Iceland but everyone has British names.
I am a little concerned that this series Black Mirror isn't really doing much new but is instead each of the 3 episodes so far is relying on these mind reading devices in some way.
The ending is curious. So the guinea pig fingers her?[/spoiler]

It seems like more of a theme of the season rather than running out of ideas.  The only two that are really handled similarly are [spoiler]episode 1 and episode 6 second story with issues of control between conscious copies and "real" humans.[/spoiler]

Yeah, it was a bit over the place. That said, I enjoyed it.

Season 4 looks tighter so far. Hard to screw up the Blinders going against the New York mob.

[The Brain]

Season of the Witch is on the telly. They have encountered Debalzac.

[The Brain]

The Abyss is on the telly. This just in: Michael Biehn should be in all movies.

[Sophie Scholl]

Season of the Witch is on the telly. They have encountered Debalzac.

That movie was fun to rip apart MST3K when my friends and I saw it in the theater.  We were the only idiots to pay and watch it.  My friend picked it as the choice.  We revoked his picking privileges for a while for the decision.

[The Brain]

Jesus. Friends like these.

[Barrister]

I've started watching Netflix's Bright, starring Will Smith.  Only about half way through.

Honestly, if it wasn't for Will Smith I'd think this was the greatest pile of horseshit I'd ever seen, but somehow he makes it watchable.

[Eddie Teach]

It's just like Bad Boys, except Martin Lawrence was replaced by an orc.

[Berkut]

Almost done with Handmaids Tale.

Really, really excellent.

I like that it provides a compelling narrative both for people appalled by the plausible future it creates, and the spicies and beebs who are probably very excited by the possibilities if they can just get some more Pence's and Cruz's into power!
