TV/Movies Megathread

[random British actor] verb object.  [another random British actor] verb object.

None of the Chrises are British

But yeah I associate David Thewlis with like social realist British drama, character roles in big American films and, inevitably, Harry Potter. It's very weird seeing him pop up as a splashy comic book film as a relatively big character

Managed to make it about 20 minutes into He's Just Not That Into You.  Lame ass rom-com with all star ensemble cast.  A lot of big names must have found themselves unemployed at the same time.  The odd element of the movie is that it's set in a yuppified gentrifying Baltimore.  I thought that place had fully Detroited long ago.

It's a movie! Baltimore hasn't been nuked either.

Really HOTTTT ScarJo in that one.

Went on and forced me to finish the last season of Man in the High Castle. There's a few ideas (like the Black Communist Rebellion) that should have been in the show since season 1 (it is really weird that you neve hear of them until now), but overall it feels like a rushed and poorly constructed last season. It never felt like this show had any direction, since a lot of the visions and foreshadowing seen in previous seasons end up leading nowhere or are wrapped up poorly.

Now that Amazon has another nazi-themed show to ruin (Hunters) I guess it's time to wave John Smith goodbye.

Britannia is on CBC Gem (streaming).  Highly recommended.

It mixes history with supernatural, demons&druids&magic.  Great tv show

[Threviel]

I hear it's even better than Vikings.

[Josephus]

I hear it's even better than Vikings.

is that possible?

[viper37]

I hear it's even better than Vikings.

It's a very different show.  There's a lot less fights than in Vikings, despite this being a conquest of Britain by the Romans.

I don't know how to describe this, I've never seen something quite like this.  And I'm afraid of spoilers...

Oh, a new season of Castelvania. That's a fun show.

Is the recent Terminator film worth a viewing?

Never mind, I watched it;my review:

'Terminator Dark Fate' - Good if you don't have high expectations

I think I prefered the one with Christian Bale, Terminator Salvation.

Terminator Salvation.

Bleh

The setup had so much potential.

Yeah, the show was disappointing.  The biggest problem is that the show was boring.  The final season spiced things up by throwing in some new characters and the black communists, but the show ended pretty much with "and suddenly they lived happily ever after".  I read that in the 2nd season they just didn't even have a show runner, which might explain why the show didn't really go anywhere.

Damning with faint praise!
