nfreeman Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Blade Runner is 35 freakin years old and still holds up. It's amazing how many movies since have drawn from it. it is a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksndmonster Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 I finally saw Split last night, and oh man... James McAvoy was amazing. James McAvoy is so freakin' cool. Anya-Taylor Joy is a... joy. I saw Lady Macbeth earlier this week. Another great 2017 indie film. It does a great job depicting an intersection of different kinds of opression/privalege. Florence Pugh is crazy good. Hope to see her in a lot more work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPre Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Varsity Blues is a great high school football movie. Always watch it after seeing the first high school game of the season. I'll be watching it late tonight!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Atomic Blonde is even better the second time. Gorgeous film. I'm looking forward to getting it on blu-ray. I've started doing this thing where I buy movies on blu-ray in anticipation of eventually having a blu-ray player. :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm looking forward to getting it on blu-ray. I've started doing this thing where I buy movies on blu-ray in anticipation of eventually having a blu-ray player. :blush: I did that for both DVDs and Bluray, although it's been a really long time since I bought either. FWIW, depending on your computer/tv setup, an externa USBl Bluray drive is nice because you can watch TV the computer/HDMI to the TV, and you can rip DVDs/Bluray to files so you can watch without using the media. We canceled Netflix yesterday, although not necessarily permanently. We figure that all those DVDs/Blurays I just spent time ripping and putting into Plex will serve our modest TV needs for a few months. It does feel kinda weird, kinda like when I cut cable back in 2011. Different though, since youtube and Amazon Prime VIdeo fills most of the gap.

qwksndmonster Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I should really cancel netflix. I basically just use it to watch Always Sunny when I fall asleep. Hulu is great for streaming tv shows and Amazon is great for movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 Things I'm sad I didn't finish on Netflix: - MST3K, both new and old ones - Rogue One again (I did watch it when it showed up a few weeks ago) - Various documentaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Lucky and Girls Trip have both earned a second viewing but Atomic Blonde is soooo amazing. It deserves the cult following that John Wick has.

darksabre Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Started watching Amazon's reboot of The Tick tonight. I loved the cartoon and the Patrick Warburton version never got a fair shake. I'm a few episodes in and I'm loving it. It's cheeky and fun, but with some real heart, and it's perfectly cast. Peter Serafinowicz is spot on as the The Tick. Highly recommended watching. Lots of little Easter eggs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I've been flying through episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm on amazon lately. I've never had HBO, so I've missed the entire run of the series. I've probably gone through about 6 seasons in just a couple weeks. It's pretty good, pretty pretty, pretty good.

qwksndmonster Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've been comparing Atomic Blonde to John Wick without realizing that the director lf AB is one of the co-directors of JW. Charlize Theron saw John Wick and literally made it happen herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbert11 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Man, I looooved Sons of Anarchy up until they went to Ireland. Then it just got stupid and I realized I was watching a really soapy soap opera that was just dressed up with leather and tattoos. I mean, I guess it always was, but it had a unique taste to it up until that point. Around that same time I binged most of Spartacus (the one where the main character ended up passing away from cancer a few seasons in). It was enjoyable. Lotta gore and manbits and Lucy Lawless' tits. Yes, S of A started out so great and then that season in Ireland was horrible. It picked up again after that season and the final season may have been the best. I'd like to watch it again and count how many people were killed in that season. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Netflix series The Shooter. I think it's great! I don't usually binge watch but that show has had me staying up till the wee hours the last couple days watching.

I thought the ending of the Ireland season was pretty good. Since I'm binge watching the show, a season like that one doesn't drag on for too long, so I don't wind up having an issue with too much. The only thing that I find a bit strange with the whole show (just finished season 4) is that at the beginning, they talk about how rare a murder in Charming is. Fastforward one season and they start killing people left and right. I realize that this has to be done to make a tv show, but it's a little too much craziness that hits all at once.
