TV/Movies Megathread

[Duque de Bragança]

I remember the show, both the live and cartoon parts, but not Elvira's guest appearance but then I did not follow it closely. Kind of crappy, even back then, without being epically so as the Super Mario Bros movie.

Parasite - yes. Good film. Though sort of loses the track towards the end and a few threads just sort of trail off. Like what happened to the friend who was meant to be going just a little while.

I remember the show too. The live action parts were rather crappy, but the cartoon (kid memory talking here) was kinda cool.

Mad Dogs. American college buddies have a reunion in Belize. Murder ensues. Lots of fun.

Has anyone here watched The Boys? I binged it last week and finished the second season a couple of days ago, and I don't think I've read anything about it here.

I was hesitant at first as I had read the comics and found them a bit too much, too in your face, Garth Ennis style, but the show changes several things, IMO for the better.

I liked it.
Second series was slightly weaker but the first was quite bingeable.

Watched Vice, Dick Cheney's "biopic". The movie really tries way too hard to be funny and quirky and I don't think it quite works. Some great work by the cast, nonetheless.

I watched the first season.  Started on the second... got about two episodes and just got rapidly burned out by the show's overwhelming, in-your-face nihilism.  No plans on going back to it.

If you think that about the show do not even get close to the original comic books, now that was in-your-face nihilism.

New season of the Crown

Oh goody.  Almost done with The Queen's Gambit so the timing is perfect.

I hope they do a real hatchet job on Di.

I hope they do a real hatchet job on Di.

Any reason why?

Any reason why?

I didn't like her.  She was a social climbing ditz who didn't take the job seriously.

[The Brain]

Social climbing? Well I guess, but not exactly much higher.

I didn't like her.  She was a social climbing ditz who didn't take the job seriously.

She was daugher of an Earl - standard sort of level for a traditional marrying into the royal family.

Interesting though. I've always read her as far more deliberate/clever than the rest of them - she knew how to use the media at a time when none of them did.
