I tried an episode or two but found it slow to grab me.
I am about 2/3 of the way through Leviathan Wakes, the 1st of the series. It's not GOT level, but it's enjoyable. 3.5/5 maybe (but I'm not a huge sci-fi reader either so sci-fi fans may rank it higher). So far there are only 2 characters' alternating viewpoints. I was expecting a wider cast so maybe that tempers it a bit as well.
I got through a season or two and liked it...then forgot about it. Where is it- I'd like to keep going.
Amazon Prime. Got canceled on SYFY, but I guess Amazon picked it up and S4 is due out in 2019.El Floppo said:
Thanks for the heads up- I had the same reaction to the first 15 minutes, but I gave up after that. Gonna revisit based on this.
Same. Not perfect, but interesting idea and executed well. Kept me guessing, which I appreciate.Watched it this weekend and thought it was good.Enjoyed I Am Mother
Watched the pilot last night. I'm on board.KarmaPolice said:
We saw the title and thought, sure let's give it a go. Then saw the stars and immediately opted out for I am mother instead.
I thought True Grit was great, butsaintfool said:
Agreed. I loved it as well - mostly because Steinfeld was superb. That was 9 years ago, now. Holy. They haven't done much since then.I thought True Grit was great, but
I probably should have been more clear - not GOT level as far a overall quality, but I've heard people talk of the show in a similar breath as far as following around different characters and jumping you into the story without a lot of hand holding.facook said:
You don't say that.
Anything associated with Sandler's stupid face is bound to suck. Did he kiss Aniston in the movie? I swear he casts certain female leads just so he can kiss them.
Nobody handles the subject of death like the Coen brothers. They can hit chords that other artists just can't.
I'm a big fan of The Departed, although that was awhile back. I know this is blasphemy, but I think Wolf Of Wall Street is start to finish the most entertaining film Scorsese ever made short of Goodfellas.
Yes yes yes.
I admit, the Buster Scruggs story itself caught me a little off guard and I didn't fully appreciate it until later viewings. The Liam Neeson one can only be described as one of the most haunting segments of film I've ever watched. The prospector and wagon train stories were poetically brilliant.
Scruggs was good. If I recall I enjoyed 4 of the 6 stories. 3 of which were excellent. What I meant was more that they haven't even been that active since 2010. i could not get into Hail Caesar! and haven't even tried to watch Inside Llewyn Davis
I've seen Hail Caesar! multiple times and I don't know what I'm watching. I'm in the exact same boat as you on Llewyn Davis. You do have incredibly strong points for your argument.
Llewyn Davis was pretty dull. I know people hated Hail Ceasar!, but I enjoyed it as fluff.
Meh. I liked well enough but it doesn't add much to their oeuvre beyond setting. while i have enjoyed their storytelling over the years, i don't know they have done much to expand on it. maybe "Inside llewellyn davis" or "a serious man" give some personal insight about them but those are weak tea compared to "No Country...". And "NCfOM" was 12 years ago. they have made a bunch of truly excellent films - some of my favorites of all time, in fact - that have influenced a generation of filmmakers but it's cutting much closer to self-parody lately.I thought True Grit was great, but
i'd put all of those on non-prime list for me. they can be enjoyable films but also get the benefit of his name attached to them. he can make films that interest him, for sure, because he's earned that.
Further proving my contention that 99% of artists have a peak period of five to fifteen years wherein all their great work is accomplished and the rest of their careers cannot possibly compete.
...and Miles Davis. I think it's easier for actors, though. My theory applies more to musicians and filmmakers.
Interestingly...I think DiCaprio is the flaw in that movie. The guy they should have cast as Jordan Belfort was actually in the movie...Jon Bernthal.
I don't think Berenthal has the range for that role. Have never heard anyone do anything but praise Leo in that role, bizarre.
