Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

[lawdog1]

I actually enjoy watching garbage movies that I don't expect anything from. Only time I get pissed is when I expect good things and get let down.

I'm kind of like that too, but every so often I will turn on something that I think is so objectively bad that I can't get through it -- even though my expectations were super low to begin with. Its rare though.

 

[kingkoopa]

Random but Pride and Glory is still hella underrated.

The ending was meh but the ride there was amazing.

I am on a roll of garbage movies...

Last night I watched Pride Prejudice and Zombies then Gods of Egypt. I expected nothing but just how does stuff like that get made...

No one really lost big money on even Gods of Egypt with that huge budget. Using tax incentives, international presales, and co-financing, the studio took a shot with relatively low risk and it didn't work out. These types of things are aimed mainly at international markets and the domestic take is the icing on the cake. They hoped for a Clash of the Titans type return and whiffed.

Now You See Me 2 4/8

 

[slighted]

^ Damn, it was that bad? 4/8?

 

[a-friend]

 
Ok NT, out of TV.

My HBO crew, rank these shows for me so I know where to start.

Might start from worst to first.

Vinyl

The Sopranos

Silicon Valley

Rome

Oz

Deadwood

Band of Brothers

Ballers

Rome first.

Then we can discuss Everything else.

Yes. There's a character that is just so bonkers I almost couldn't watch the movie.

 

[stuntman mike]

i finally started OITNB. i'm about 5 episodes into the first season. it's really enjoyable so far. i wonder if i'll catch the whole series up or will it go to the grave of shows i liked but never finished like the americans, sons of anarchy, nurse jackie and probably a bunch of others.

and on a tangent, you know what show i really liked and followed was fringe. i actually watched all the eps and have them saved somewhere. i'm pretty sure it was network tv too.

 

[Master Zik]

It was FOX. They seem to do sci-fi shows with a cult following justice.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show beginning to end.

You should binge The Americans. Don't know where you stopped but I love it.

 

[sb]

The first Jack Reacher was good?

anticlamatic towards the end. built up was superior to the conclusion.

I'm still mad they didn't give deadwood a proper ending. The cast is really good and you see them in some of the best shows.

 

[shogun]

The way Deadwood ended made me sad. I wantes some justice and murking to happen.

Isn't it coming back?

Or a movie or something I think I read somewhere.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

Yeah, Deadwood definitely deserved a better ending than that. Such a brilliant TV show, my favorite show since 2000, along with The Sopranos.

Anyway, if you liked Deadwood, I highly suggest that you watch the western which inspired that show:



I'm pretty sure it inspired Unforgiven as well. It might be my favorite western of all time. It also has a young Keith Carradine who played Wild Bill Hickock in Deadwood.

Yo, what the **** happened to Leo and Scorsese doing Devil In The White City?

 

[calibeebee]

Popstar: Some funny moments and some stoneface moments. The songs were great, but as a full movie I don't think it works well. The formula was : funny song, 5 minutes of slapstick comedy (like eating dog poop), followed by funny song etc. I give it a 5/8

Finding Dory it was a decent sequel but kinda lackluster. Obvs not as good as nemo. There was a lot less adult humor, plus it was weird there were no bad guys in this movie. Nemo had the barracuda and the sharks and even the evil girl with braces. This movie had none. Just dory swimming around. Special effects were good but the scenes weren't as bright as nemo. That was my favorite part of the 1st one; the vibrant colors made it really magical, and dory was much more muted. Movie is kinda a must see for nostalgia purposes but don't expect to be blown away. 5.6/8

That was never any time soon.

Marty still trying to do that flick with Pacino, DeNiro, Pesci, etc. first.

I'd say it was Season 5 when Entourage started to go downhill, after the Medellin plot line was done. Just got less interesting and less funny after that. I watched all 8 seasons, but did not enjoy the last few nearly as much as the first few. So much so that I had no interest in the movie. Still haven't watched it and it's been on HBO a bunch.

 

[IATT]

My girl downloaded it.. And started watching cause nothing else was on.. Wasn't great

Can't even remember when I gave up on the show.. But the last couple of years was bad

 

[Master Zik]

The Jim Gaffigan Show has been back for 2 weeks now and it is hilariously great

Sundays 10pm on TVland.

I binged it and enjoyed every bit of the show.
