TV/Movies Megathread

Anyone watched season 4 of The Man in the High Castle? Just look it up & it came out in November already.

[The Larch]

The Mandalorian as a spaghetti western:

He was certainly great at playing Gregory Peck. 

I like him a lot, but agree that he is one of those actors where all of his characters feel like different shades of the same guy. 

[The Minsky Moment]

I like him a lot, but agree that he is one of those actors where all of his characters feel like different shades of the same guy. 

He played Atticus Finch and Joseph Mengele, among others.  Seemed different to me.

It was ok. That whole series felt like it should have been better than it was. I think it was a bit miscast with the younger cast members.

Watching new season of The Expanse. Martian police is using the same IKEA desk chairs that we bought. 

I watched the whole Season over the weekend 

God I love that show.

That's a treat I'm reserving for a lazy day over the holidays. 

So I'll ask one question, without spoilers: does season 4 live up to the other three?

Found online:

That 70's Show debuted in 1998, and was set in 1976.
If a show came out today in 2019 with the same premise, it would be set in 1997.

Spoke to someone at work and they casually mentioned that Cameron is the first Prime Minister they remember

Yeah, I am looking forward to binging it over the holidays.

Maybe Gordon Brown just wasn't that memorable.

[Barrister]

The timing is perfect for a retro 90s show.

I mean you had Happy days (set in the 50s) come out in the 70s.
Wonder Years (set in the 60s) come out in the 80s.
That 70s show come out in the late 90s.
We have lots of shows set in the 80s: Stranger Things, The Goldbergs, Young Sheldon, The Americans.

Nothing really in the 90s.  Googling suggests Fresh Off the Boat and Derry Girls.  I've heard of both, but both suggest more being set in a very specific situation, moreso than just the 90s.

Celedhring: you should get writing a script.

Do you work at an elementary school?

Somebody has to write that Friends remake.

Hold the Dark. Iceman from Generation Kill is still in the sandbox, but gets wounded and shipped home around the same time his Alaskan home village has a wolf problem. One of those slow movies, where everything. Is. Slow. As. Fuck. I was keeping at it because there was at least some interesting stuff happening, but then during [spoiler]the world's slowest and most drawn out shootout scene, which also happened to be farcical[/spoiler] I couldn't take it anymore. I may or may not finish it at a later time.

Finished it. Not essential viewing.
