Give Me a Movie/TV Show/Song/Band and I Will Review (1 Viewer)

Bob's Burgers

Archer

Rick and Morty

Bojack Horseman
Sorry, I missed this yesterday.

BB: Don't care for it.

Archer: Hilarious. BUT the "27 jokes per minute" actually works against the overall quality of the show.

R&M: Never seen it. Looks kinda crappy though.

Bojack: Really wanted to like this. I watched 3-4 episodes and there were some pretty decent laughs. But all-in-all it didn't blow my skirt up. And Will Arnet's voice is grating.

Hunt for Red October

The Shield

Dire Straits
HRO: Love it. Book was even better.

Shield: Mediocre at best. Tried too hard and fell on its face.

Dire Straits: Hate them. Can't stand Kpfnofpfhpfler's voice. I'd rather hear Wil Arnet talk dirty through a cracked megaphone all day than listen to MK sing half a song.

 
"Nathan For You"
Have not seen it, sorry.

Is there a wall of death involved?
No, but you should check it out. I can't/won't guarantee that you'll like it, but I'd bet you would. 2 seasons already, 3rd begins 10/15. It's smart and funny and very easily digestible, usually 2 segments over a 30 minute show, so if you were so inclined, you can watch an "episode" in 10 minutes or so on YouTube or Netflix (if available.)

Ive heard good things about it. Just haven't been able to work it in.

There are only 16 episodes to date at 22 minutes each, so you could theoretically be caught up in a few days if you watched an episode and liked it. Just an FYI since based on this thread, our tastes in visual entertainment are even more closely aligned than I had originally thought.

Dawson was the master. Show should have ended there. Combs to O'Hurley are all forgettable.

Steve Harvey era FF:

The questions is: "Name something a man might have that his wife wishes was longer, thicker, and harder".

The Miller family has two strikes already because Uncle Earl said "TV remote control" and sister Debbie said "light bulb".

Steve approaches Aunt Wanda. Wanda is pushing 60 and 3 bills. She has a hair-do just like James Brown circa 1965 and wears the world's thickest Sally Jessy Raphael glasses. She's the choir director at the AME Church, has 23 paintings of Jesus hanging in her house, and stopped watching "Family Matters" because Urkel hit puberty.

Steve: "Aunt Wanda...it's up to you...name something a man might have that his wife wishes was longer, thicker, and harder".

Wanda: Well, Steve...I..uh...I hope the Lord can for forgive me but I'll have to say "penis".

43 seconds of Steve Harvey doing this

Steve: Now I'm not sure about you folks but I was raised differently...this is a family show that airs in the day time...(shakes his head and takes a deep breath)...is "penis" on the board?

DINGDINGDING

Cue Steve doing this

 
The Halloween movies

The Friday the 13th movies

The Nightmare on Elm Street movies

Varsity Blues
First Halloween was great. Pretty sure I've only seen #2 all the way through. Not good. I'll just assume any other Halloween sequels are putrid.

Friday the 13 and Nightmare movies are wonderful for middle school sleep-overs but other than that :thumbdown:

Varsity Blues was dumb and unrealistic.

 
Flashforward (TV show)

Firefly
Haven't seen Flashforward.

Watched the first EP of Firefly and forgot about it. Then goons all over the place went nuts because it got cancelled. Went back and watched the first EP again. Totally agree that it should have been cancelled. No idea what the fuss is all about.

 
I'll save you guys some time:

Horror/Slasher movies? Can't think of one besides the first Halloween that I liked.

Anime? Get the #### out of here.

Anything LOTR related? I'd rather stick a whole set of D&D dice up my peehole than watch that crap.

Harry Potter? See: LOTR

SO SO SO SO SO true.

 
Corrosion of Conformity

Napalm Death
No clue

Hot but terrible song(s). I still play "Cars That Go Boom" for my students at least once to share the horror.

Movie: Being There
Great movie.

The films of Patrick Swayze, specifically Red Dawn and Roadhouse.
Red Dawn could have been much better. I'll still watch parts of it if I stumble across it. But all-in-all pretty campy and goofy.

Roadhouse sucks. And for whatever reason I can't even enjoy it in the "so bad that it's good" kind of way. Although my close and personal friend, John Doe, is in it.

Sons of Anarchy

The Walking Dead
SOA started out somewhat decent. Maybe the appeal was that it gave us some sort of insight into biker gangs. Then it got bad...then really bad...then it turned into a cartoon. As GPJ said "it's pretty much just performance art by now".

TWD could be so much better. I've posted a lot about this in the official thread. Not going to rehash it. I stared watching because one of my kids had read the comics and he wanted to watch the show. I figured it was one of the few shows we could still "bond" over. The funny thing is that he gave up on the show about a year and a half ago and I'm still watching it.
Mmm hmm. Right around the time that the gas would have gone bad. Smart kid.

 
"Rapture" by Blondie

"Synchronicity II" by The Police

"Hello" by Lionel Richie

"Hotel California" The Eagles

"Stayin' Alive" The BeeGees

 
The English Patient

REM

Soap (TV)
Don't think I've seen more than 20 mins of English Patient. But that 20 minutes blew.

REM was one of my favorites in the early-mid 80s. Chronic Town, Murmur, and Reckoning are amazing. Fables was half great, half meh. LRP and everything after had maybe one decent song. I think the last album I bought was Document and the I gave up.

Soap was outstanding. Funny as hell and groundbreaking. Should be mentioned more when people talk about great TV comedies.

 
Major League

Slap Shot

Longest Yard (orig)

Eddie
Major League had some pretty good scenes and lines ("look at this ####ing guy") but overall it was an uneven movie. The whole love interest sub plot was terrible.

Slap Shot and Longest Yard are two of the best sports movies ever. Absolute favorites of mine. Any man that doesn't like those movies needs a beating.

Never saw Eddie. Looks like a big turd.

 
Dune

Lost

American Dad
Dune had some pretty amazing aspects but was too long and bloated.

Lost was horrific. I gave it 2 or 3 chances and it didn't get better.

American Dad rules. Roger is one of the best characters on TV today. Actually without Roger it would be a decent but not great show.

 
The Usual Suspects
I'll get hammered for this but I'd say it was good but not great. Stellar cast for sure but I think Singer is a pretty lame director (look at his imdb page. A whole lot of pedestrian goop). In the hands of somebody else like Fincher it probably would have been much better.

 
"Rapture" by Blondie

"Synchronicity II" by The Police

"Hello" by Lionel Richie

"Hotel California" The Eagles

"Stayin' Alive" The BeeGees
1. Solid song but I like their earier stuff. By the time they got to that album everything started to sound overproduced.

2. Blech. Not a fan of LR at.

3. Me and the Dude are in line here...I hate the ####in Eagles

4. Very dated song BUT Saturday Night Fever is a great movie. Yeah, it popularized a crappy genre of music and a horrible era for fashion but if you forget about that you'll see that it is a wonderful coming-of-age story.

I friggin agree!!! I felt like something was wrong with me but the whole Kaiser Soze mystic drove me nuts.

I was ready to ipunch you for besmirching Major League but I can't really disagree with your disdain for the love story part

 
The Road Warrior

Mad Max

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

Mad Max: Fury Road
Let's do this in the right order:

MM: not very good even for a B movie

RW: Awesome for an action movie...and I like very few action movies. Not sure what separates it but whatever it is it worked. Maybe because it at least tried to be somewhat "realistic"? Logical backstory? Max isn't some invincible caricature? Either way, I'll watch this whenever it comes on.

MMBT: not as good as RW but still pretty great. I know it is an unpopular opinion but I really dig the whole story about the kids and captain walker thing. Hell, I'd love to see some sort of remake/offshoot just about that whole story.

Fury Road: have not seen yet. Want to for sure.
