Weekly "What are you watching?" thread

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

NO ANIME

For me:

Police Story (1985) - Simple name for one of the best movies I've ever seen. Written and directed by the martial arts kino GOAT, Jackie Chan. All the stunts are practical and Jackie ran a fricking excruciating regime to produce this kino. Every action movie today owes its existence to this film. I had always heard about this movie but never bothered with it until now, and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. You want a fun movie with real action and funny ching chongs? Go watch this right now. Top kino

The Holdovers (2023) - Just when you thought they don't make movies like this anymore, they made one. A certified Christmas classic. Think John Hughes meets Dead Poets Society (1989) meets Manchester By the Sea (2016). If you need a comfy Christmas movie, watch this one

Millennium Actress (2001) - kinda overrated, but a decent watch

Cop Land (1997) - Might be the only movie with Stalone and De Niro. Bunch of mobbed up cops own a town in NJ and shit starts to go down. Honestly not that good, but like half of The Sopranos cast is in it, plus Ray Liota and De Niro.

Fargo Season 5 - banger

Slow Horses - If you like modern comfy bong spy thrillers, watch this. Budget is insane and it's just brits doing what they do best. Gary Oldman plays a grimy disgusting ex-Cold War spy and it's everything

Currently watching a short series called The Terror about a (real) arctic expedition that disappeared in the 1800s. Horror stuff, adds supernatural elements.

Pretty good. Not earth-shaking? But interesting. Got some good actors and high production value.

It's earth-shaking.

Never could do season 2, but season 1 is better than nearly every season of Fargo.

tbf I haven't finished it yet. I'm like six episodes in.

I figured I wouldn't be watching season 2 because its set in a japanese american internment camp and has george takei so I figure it's probably terrible and preachy

Yeah, I LOVED season 1, and didn't even bother starting 2 for that reason lol

Now I'm getting excited about it again. I just reached the part where the gay dude who got whipped in the butt kills his scout buddies after they find eskimos :marseyfsjal: I should have time to watch a few eps tonight

Annihilation - female-focused, psychological horror. I'm disappointed at the hate The Marvels has been receiving, so this is a good palate-cleanser that slipped under the hatedar.

Bridgerton - did not watch this series when it first came out, but it is pure Shondaverse. Very predictable, but sometimes I want to turn my mind off for an hour.

I'm slow at movies :(

In the middle of An American in Paris. Hate musicals, but after I discovered that My Fair Lady is a top ten movie ever, I figured I could get past my trauma of Oliver! and all those other awful musicals I've seen bits and pieces of.

So far An American in Paris is vying for worst Best Picture with Shakespeare in Love. Shit's rough.

In the middle of another five other things, but I'm already tired of listening to myself.

Watched Cop Land two weeks ago. Sad that the deaf revenge at the end wasn't done better. Not a lot of redeeming qualities to Cop Land.

I have a primal revulsion to musicals, like it ignites something in my DNA and makes me angry. For that reason I'll never finish the Goose filmography (La La Land)

Cop Land was really meh, you're right. It was hailed as Liota's best performance, so I gave it a go, he was good but the whole product was middling.

Yesterday I watched the Five Nights at Freddy's movie that came out two months ago.

As a movie in general, it was entertaining; not a top-tier film, but decent. As a horror movie, it wasn't all that scary (it felt more like mystery), which is probably why critics didn't like it. As an adaptation, it took liberties with the source material but didn't butcher it.

The Crown, kino as usual but a bit less this half season. Mcnulty is a really good actor, steals every scene.

How could you miss out the key theme in Slow Horses - it's a spy thriller but about bongland's F-tier spies rather than your typical action heroes.

Are you a zoomer because a lot of the shit you mention you've just watched, like Police Story, is old news for all western millennials.

Watched Pariah Nexus the other day. They nailed the 40k aesthetics pretty good and it's always great seeing non-Ultramarines get some love.

Also it has a goth girl Sister Of Battle as the protag. :marseycoomer2:
