TwoMisfits Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 1 hour ago, lorddemaxus said: First rave I've seen for this show. Most of the reactions I've seen are lukewarm. The trailer just gave me Downsizing vibes (the trailer has the same music as the Downsizing trailer and they both involve the main character going to another world) but it looked fun. Guess I'll give it a go. You missed my reaction on this thread - I LOVED it and it's my 1st true binge of s show:)... It gets better by the episode...and I'm ready for season 2 of Amazon's Upload next week, not 2021:)... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind, I know why I am watching. Leave it to Apple to put Legend Evans in a flop miniseries no one's talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorddemaxus Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Movies: Ran - 10/10 The Last Temptation of Christ - 9/10 The Half of It - 9/10 Ghostbusters - 7/10 Furious 7 (rewatch) - 7/10 Hook - 3/10 SPL: Kill Zone - 6/10 I Saw the Devil - 6/10 Close Encounters of the Third Kind - 9/10 The Assistant - 6/10 Tv Shows: Hollywood - 6/10 (as I said before, great first couple of episodes but ends up getting repetitive and becomes a show made for kids by the end) Westworld Season 3 Episode 8 - Garbage ending to a garbage season. Whole season gets a 2/10 from me. The two stars are just for Vincent Cassel . Everything else is terrible. Even the production value in this is season is not that good. The acting is terrible (except for Cassel and Liam Hemsworth) too but I blame the writing for that. Run Episode 4 - Probably the most tense episode yet. Mrs America Episde 6 - One of the more forgettable episodes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is fantastic. You mean Coolio. I have not seen it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they ended his character arc is the worst part of the entire show. Lmao, now that you reminded me of that, I'm lowering my score to 5/10.

Darth Lehnsherr Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Started The Office (US) Season 1. Thought the Pilot and the second episode was just "alright" but everyone has told me that it gets better so will stick by it. Started my rewatch of Star Wars; Rebels and so far enjoying S1's tone more than I remember from my last watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I thought he was one of the better parts about the show, as over-the-top as he was (fitting given the nature of the character). It was fun seeing him play against type, even though he's proven to be an effective serious actor in the past. Or maybe he just provided a much-needed jolt of energy lacking from most of our department store mannequin leads, I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Also speaking of Westworld I finished the new season earlier. Made up for it by checking out the first two episodes of the new season of Dead to Me. Hail Applegate and Cardellini! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
