What have you plebs been watching? How was it? Tell us!

NO ANIME

Yesterday I went to the kinoplex and watched the new Mission Impossible movie. It was dope, but not as good as Fallout

Later in the day I watched The Chaser (2008), a gritty dark Korean movie about a ex-cop turned pimp trying to save his hoes from a serial killer

Oh yeah I also watched The Graduate (1967) and that movie fricking suckedddddd.

Shit is butt even by capeshit standards. Its a spy movie that doesn’t do any cool spy shit.

I kinda liked Raw when I saw it so I sat down and watched this with my dad and man it was a mess.

I don’t think I hated it as much as he did but I’m in the “this is pretty dumb” camp. Shots linger, and oh boy do they linger; a good 15 minutes of this movie is just shots that should have ended.

The initial premise of this movie is about a woman who gets a metal plate installed into her head and twenty years later becomes a serial killer. Then she has s*x with one car which leads to her getting pregnant so I can’t really say she has a sexual paraphilia.

Then the movie just says frick all this and becomes a totally different movie when she disguises herself as a missing man and is taken in by an unstable firefighter. Then the movie just kinda stops for a long time and there’s like a subplot where one of the firefighters knows she’s a serial killer but he gets blown up but maybe not really bc she sees him in the crowd with some burns later on but that never comes up again.

This movie also completely stops what it’s doing twice to watch all the buff men they got to play firefighters dance in slow motion to shitty euro pop.

The thing that gets me is that there’s no fricking reason for any of the first half of the movie to exist. The fact she has a metal plate in her head doesn’t fricking matter. The fact she had a car’s child also doesn’t really matter at all, all it does is give us some really shitty body horror. Which yeah I’m going to complain about how all the “body horror” we got was just her spitting up oil and there being very shiny metal under her skin. It was lame as heck.

Don’t watch this movie unless you enjoy huffing your own farts so much you have brain damage.

A TV station here has started replaying Law & Order from the very beginning. I really love the mood of this intro, allowing the viewer to be immersed into the world of the show. This was back when network television didn't have to cram in 16 minutes of advertising every fricking hour.

The visuals and the music really draw you into law enforcement in the early 90s. It's just wonderful.

Regarding the show itself, I've never seen the earliest series before, and I had no idea that Capt Craven from SVU was also the original lieutenant in Law & Order. Dann Florek is younger and more brash here, which adds depth to his later performance.

It is a crime that George Dzundza (as Det. Max Greevey) was only in one season, as he had great chemistry with Chris North's Det. Mike Logan. Michael Moriarty brings gravitas to his role as ADA Ben Stone.

A great show from the first episode.

NOT THE TOM CROOZE REACHER

We need a reacher marsey. (@chiobu get on it or tell someone to do it) this show is so fricking good. I can't wait for season 2. I wonder why no one talks about it. I suggested reacher once in an /r/television thread and got downvoted to -5 .

This scene was enough to rope me in. Everything about this show is so balanced. I guess thats the problem?

I guess Oscar Finlay being an educated, well off black man didn't vibe with the leftist crowd?

I guess Roscoe didn't adhere to the hollywood mary sue

!chuds you'll never be reacher

!nonchuds you'll never beat reacher

I will continue seeding this torrent through the weekend. It's 800GB and has about 95 percent of Cop's episodes starting in 1989.

Because that is what will be made during the strike. "Unscripted" shows don't have unions, so they have no strike. In the mid-2000s there was a writers strike that led to over half a decade of fricking reality tv shows ruling the air. Since then, OTT has been birthed and grown, and these services will gladly buy whatever the networks won't buy. Have a moderately normal girlfriend? You're going to be in reality tv heck. Are you a gay and have twink friends? You'll also be in reality tv heck but way gayer. The only good thing I can see coming from all of this is maybe Joel McHale will come back to do another Talk Soup (you gays would probably enjoy that huh).

So keep on mocking the writer strike you little contrarians.

And barely any fat fricks in the movie

SAG-AFTRA is officially going on strike.

This is the first time both the actors & writers are on strike in over 60 years. pic.twitter.com/1S4Xnq3bdp
