CoolioD1 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 finally saw bill and ted 3. obviously third best and kinda just a greatest hits but it was cute. not the dumb and dumber to level mess the trailer made it look. anthony carrigan was the best part.

Dementeleus Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I’m binge-ing through The Goes Wrong Show — it’s terribly, terribly funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liiviig 1998 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just finished true detective season 1. This is one of the best seasons of show on television. It was phenomenal. 10/10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Movies: Karate Kid - 7/10. The Mexican - 9/10. James Gandolfini's performance is just perfect (brought me to tears once even) and I really enjoyed Verbinski's eccentrities here. Felt like this weird mix of a Soderbergh and Coen brothers movie. Really wish Verbinski does something like this again. TV: The Boys Episode 5 - Another really, really boring episode where it feels like nothing happens. The writers should really think about focusing on a few characters each episode instead of all of them. Cobra Kai Season 1 - One of the most cliche pieces of garbage I've seen in a long time. I really do not get what a lot of people see in it, espescially when 60% of the show is just terrible high-school romance. Lost (rewatch) - Started watching this again and this time I'm watching it with my parents. And I'm really surprised by how I'm still enjoying the show eventhough it's not even been 6 months since I last watched it. The pilot is one of the most exhilirating pieces of TV ever imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie Jatinder Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 I know none of you watched Tumbbad, I hope you do this week. Here is my second recommendation. THAPPAD Literally means Slap. Yesterday it was nominated for Best Film in Asian Awards along with Parasite. Best film of year so far for me. It is available on Prime. Do watch it. I am sharing the trailer, but dont watch it. https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Thappad/0OO5G0JC9V73V3YOZ3230ONZTN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've changed my mind. Finished season 2 and the high school drama is still cringe CW shit but I'm actually interested in the adult conflict now and I think the final 5 episodes are pretty good.

charlie Jatinder Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Week 25 19-25 September 2020 Movies Blade Runner 2049: This film is a beauty. Liked it much better than the first one. 7/10. Enemy: I thought this is weakest of Denis from the reception, but I absolutely loved it. Second fav after Prisoners. 8/10. Maleficent: Mistress of Evil: Gave it a chance, not unwatchable. 3/10. Psycho: So I started Hitchcock films, this was awesome. Though the final twist was easy to guess due to amount of films made on multiple personality disorder in past, but I am sure, back then it would have been pretty novel. 8/10. TV The Boys S02E06: Yet another downer. This season is going nowhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adult storylines are what keep me interested. I’m ridiculously invested in Daniel and Johnny hopefully becoming friends. The episode in season 1 where they go for drinks and the double date restaurant episode in season 2 were both joyous. Watching them bounce off each other is great. I get why the kids are there (and the school fight in season 2 was great), but it’s all about the adults for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 No movies last week (I did forget to mention I watched Devil All the Time the week before last and it was ass, 3/10) TV Shows: Cobra Kai Season 2: Took the final 5 episodes for me to actually start enjoying the show. As @SnokesLegs said, the adult drama and the conflict between Daniel and Johnny is the only thing that's keeping me interested. The reunion episode was also pretty good eventhough it was pretty clear what would happen at the end (older people remiscing about their life is one of my favourite tropes too). Ted Lasso: Watched the first 4 episodes and it's very rare to see this kind of lighthearted, optimistic adult comedy (only other one I can think of is The Good Place) so I found this really refreshing and a lot of fun to watch. Also the tone is a lot more quiet and subdued than I expected. Only problem I'd say is that every Brit is a caricature (you hear "wanker" even minute of the show lol) but it's a comedy so doesn't really bother me too much. Lovecraft Country Episode 5: This was fun body horror episode. This show honestly feels kinda like a Ryan Murphy show but unlike Murphy, the writers here actually know a lot of the shit that happens here is completely bonkers and have fun with it. Not really a show I'd watch seriously and I think the writers know this too. Lost (rewatch): Still on season 1 and the Hurley episode has been my favourite episode since the pilot so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to get to listening to this. It's just that if I'm listening to Sufjan music, I can't do anything else so I need to specifically allocate some time of the day to listen to the album lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webslinger Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Just finished rewatching The Social Network for its 10th anniversary. It ended up being my favorite movie of the entire 2010s and damn does it ever still slap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Just rewatched The Haunting (1963) in Cap's Screening Room. I hadn't seen it in like 20 years. It's such a great movie, wonderful atmosphere, tremendous production design, set decoration, editing, and direction. It's like a mini-film school on how to build suspense and tension through sound design, framing, and pacing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
