I actually really liked the everything movie, if you haven't seen it

There’s no homoerotic volleyball scene they just play football in jeans and Tom Cruise keeps stealing jets

Rings of Power as well!

what is it about

Pachinko is kino of the year. I will never stop shilling it. That show made me cry my fricking eyes out more than once.

It's criminally underrated. Even my aznbros haven't heard of it, but I'm still spreading the good word.

It's not pretentious but it does drag the rock scene is fricking awful.

Either way I liked it. Occasionally it's nice to have a non children's movie that has actually has a feel good second and third act.

How so?

For Banner of Heaven, the show expertly executed the balancing act of 3 different storylines, with 2 of them being parallels laden with religious themes. I think it was like ep 5 or something, but this one episode was so fricking well-written I re-watched it 3 more times to make sure I wasn't getting a false impression. Yeah the whole losing his religion and atheist tone at the end is heavy-handed, but I think it was necessary as the detective's entire world was built on that religion and it was now all crumbling down around him.

Triangle of Sadness was really good, just a bit too long. They could've cut like 10 minutes of people pooping and throwing up

A shame Tom Clancy didn't live to see this era

Can't Bruise the Cruise

Well now you have a shortlist of kinos!

This was easily the best year for TV, probably ever

Reacher was a fun masculine testosterone-fueled semi-capeshit that managed to walk the fine line between inclusion/diversity and red state bait. The black lawyer/cop in that show is one of the best written black characters in recent tv, even in shows written by black people.

It is extremely good. Might be my top of 2022 just based on how well fleshed out the themes are.

As the human species adapts to a synthetic environment, the body undergoes new transformations and mutations. With his partner Caprice, celebrity performance artist Saul Tenser publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Timlin, an investigator from the National Organ Registry, obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed. Their mission – to use Saul’s notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.

I was a massive fan of Dexter back in high school, so it may just be some nostalgia boosting its quality in my memory. But the production quality was 100x better than anything they ever did during the main series, both thanks to new technology but also some change in the production staff. Michael C Hall playing Dexter is just unreal. There's something in his eyes I can't quite articulate, but when you see him kill again for the first time, the sensation washes over him onto you. There's a particular scene in episode 8 that shows Dexter from an outsider's perspective and it actually made me pretty queasy and kinda scared(?), but that was Dexter's like 238th kill, and those prior 237 were just on-screen deaths and dismemberment, but that last one really stuck with me. Highly recommend.

The ending is pretty dumb tho lol, but I still loved the ride.

I fricking loved Nope. It's an unofficial black Eva side story with the visual aesthetic delivered by Nolan's go-to guy.

The middle gets a bit ehhh, but the beginning and ending were masterful and truly unique. I didn't care at all for Get Out, but this one was a magnum opus imo.

>shits on NOPE and praises Barbarian

Either bait or r-slurred

I never did get around to watching Dark, so didn't get into 1899. I have a bunch of time off over the next few weeks and I'm looking to get into it.

Is it as pozzed as everything else Netflix puts out?

I'm coming to /h/vidya soon with my top 10!

Yellow stone is on what season five now?

Yellowstone? Lmao get yo cowboy butt out to the ranch.

I couldn't get past season 1, and I heard the last season, 5, was the worst yet.

Yellowjackets spent way too much time with the ugly frumpy middle aged women shenanigans, and not enough time with my Until Dawn cannibal teens.
