I just had to come on here and warn people and vent— just a total waste of 2 hours. Slow and plodding for long stretches, plot is pointless, characters are all unlikeable. I actually enjoyed it…up until the ending. What the hell was that crap? Quote

I just hated every single character. And the movie didn’t feel like it went anywhere. And then the ending—- umm? That came out of left field and felt pointless. I usually don’t feel that strongly about movies, but I really disliked that one. 1 Quote

They totally f’ed up the story line and the ending. It was like the final episode of The Sopranos, but worse. I didn’t have a problem with the characters. Quote

Its not everyones taste...with society having such short attention spans now, a lot of people don't like things unless stuff is blowing up everywhere and non stop action. But I do enjoy when movies kind of bring you along through a movie creating a tone, vibe, experience etc. I didn't love the ending, but I also didn't hate it either as it was at least pretty clear to what happened and what was gonna happen next unlike the Sopranos where they just left everything open to interpretation by the viewer. Although admittedly I initially hated the Sopranos ending the moment it happened, I later came to appreciate it, especially when I watched it through a second time. Im actually about to start it over for a 3rd time since my wife has never seen it, so excited to do that as I watched it again during COVID and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. Quote

Yeah, I get it. I guess there were just too many unknowns in this flick for my liking. I have read that this was intended by the author of the book. Although apparently the ending in the book is different than the end of the movie. I really want to know what that horrific noise was. 😂 Quote

Special K Posted January 12 Posted January 12 Has anyone tried "Bodies" on Netflix? I'm through Episode 5 of 8, and I'm really enjoying it. The story is centered around the fact that 4 London detectives find the same dead body on the same street in London. They are all investigating the same murder, but here is where the intrigue begins....one detective is in 1890, one is in 1941, one is in 2023, and the fourth is in 2050. The further you go along in the show, the more connected the characters and storylines become. Its a really fun watch so far!! 1 Quote

The Jokeman Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I haven't read through the whole thread but anyone catch The Curse on Showtime. Very tongue in cheek/dark comedy. Quote

The episode before the finale set the show up for a dark and intriguing end, but the finale fell flat on its face, IMO. Of all the ways they could have ended it, it seems they chose the most ridiculously implausible version......such a shame. Quote

I admit I posted my suggestion before watching the finale as it definitely felt was leading to something. Yet the finale just didn't do the show any justice as was just horribly foolish. 1 Quote
Nextmanup Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Anyone watching the new Season 4 of "True Detective" on HBO? I have been following along with online discussions about the episodes. I'm through Episode 3, and it's only a 6 episode season, so half done now. The online comments through 3 episodes are REALLY negative. I am enjoying this season more than the other 3 combined! It has a sci-fi supernatural theme to it, and all set in Alaska in December, when it's dark 24 hours a day basically. Has a cool vibe not unlike "The Shining," mixed in with "Twin Peaks." Not nearly as good as either of those, but I'm enjoying it. Quote

The only season I really didn't like was 2. Quote
muppy Posted February 9 Posted February 9 well TV viewing is so subjective. There is something out there to appeal to everybody. And in my case my 2 favorite shows, well actually 3 would maybe never cross your radar. Being a female creative fuels my interests. so having said that my 3 fav shows on Netflix over all are the full 6 seasons replay of the Tv series Lucifer. I am OBSESSED with the villian main character. GUILTY PLEASURE OMG sooo talented and yummy to look at. He plays piano, he sings, his eyes glow that a mere mortal viewing them will make them insane. He is the ultimate bad boy badass along with a super vulnerable as it ends up softer side. The actual devil on earth in human form. Who isn't such a bad dude after all. SEZ WHO lmao. You are a loveable sometimes helpful menace lol I have aa fangirl crush FOR SURE Next is ***** Eye More than a Makeover. Best TV EVER. I rest my case you will never convince me otherwise that these men are the REAL DEAL TOP SHELF. love Love LOVE that show my last one totally relates to me being an artist it is Project Runway All Stars. MAGNIFICENT TALENT CREATIVITY and PASSION. I Love it. I read and take notes of new viewing options gracias. Quote
PastaJoe Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Finished the 4th and final season of The Man in the High Castle on Amazon, the alternate history based on the Phillip K. Dick book where the Axis wins WWII. One of those stories that you wish you could see what happens next. I never thought I could be made to feel bad for a Nazi. 😳 Quote
