Thanks spread out to those that sacrificed their time to warn the rest of us not to watch season 3 of The Fall.

I will avoid. Neither of us really cared to watch it but just figured we'd finish it out.

lol, don't #### with them.

Kevin James has a new movie. I will probably watch it with the kids tonight. I've laughed at Paul Blart.

it would be hard not to be that part- so awesome. really awesome.

eta: really, really, really awesome.

Actually, I think I've only seen PBMC2. And this scene was awesome: https://youtu.be/2Fum5ZrxgL8

The last two episodes are intense and a good watch. They make the season worth watching but don't make up for the crappy first few episodes. Overall, nowhere near the level of the first two seasons but not the worst thing I've seen.

It appears I dropped the mantle of taking one for the team and you taken it up.  You have my likes. 

Damn traitor

Not a great show IMO.

I would like your posts but you never seem to post anymore.   :(

Yeah, not very good. But something new to watch with the kids so I'm not watching the same movies for the 50th time. 

 

[Statorama]

The Dana Carvey special - is really lame.   Just a lot of old bad impressions.  Turned it off after not breaking a smile 30 minutes in. 

If someone watches the entire thing and recommends it, I could be convinced to check out the rest, on a slow, "nothing to do night" in the dead of winter.

Watched the full thing and it didn't get any better.

Sing Street

Currently streaming.  I saw this in the theater earlier in the year and was instantly one of my favorites.

Now deep into the year, it's easily one of my two favorite films of the year.   It has a great little tribute to the prom night dance scene in Back to the Future.  Great sound track of Late 80's - Early 90's music.  Really good story.  Sometimes painfully awkward to watch.

I highly recommend this movie. 

Definitely in the annual top 10 for me. 

 

[cosjobs]

The Commitments is available:  https://www.netflix.com/title/391418

Not a new movie, but I love the music and thought it was a good movie overall.

This and Sing Street would be a great double feature

I'll try to do better.

See that you do!  And congrats on Penn State being good again.

Feels like a trap game against Indiana today.

@El Floppo I'm going in!  If I don't make it back please tell me wife and kids I liked them a lot.

 

[James Daulton]

Incredibly lax security for someone who's been accused of killing tons of women.  Oh wait, he says he can't remember any of it so I guess he's not bad anymore.

 

[James Daulton]

What was the deal with the note on the dollar?  And HTF can he just be allowed to chill out in an unlocked room in the mental institution?  Lots and lots of long, deep conversations that all seem to lead nowhere.

shhhhhh... I can't hear scully's whispers if you're talking SO loudly.

that note? something about love and death? bible stuff? 

we didn't get to the last episode yet. I'm sure it will be scintillating.

Almost through episode 5.  I can do this!

it's like watching the seinfeld show- without any humor and quieter.

 

[James Daulton]

Why oh why was there a 3rd season?

 

[James Daulton]

Ok, decided to take one for the team and started to watch season 3 of the Fall.  So far it's hard to tell if it's a police thriller or medical drama.  And Scully still looks hawt.

Finished.  Boring, unrealistic, and just plain convoluted and stupid.  I feel wholly unsatisfied with the final season and recommend no one watch it.

You're all welcome I saved you roughly 5 hours of your life.

aw yeah... I'm all over this.

 

[Statorama]

Kevin James movie was watchable, and I laughed a few times.  Just a side warning, there's a number of "mistaken for a spy" cliches it has to check off.  From the low bar movie critic, this was better than the Richard Greico "mistaken for a spy" movie.

Watched "Lost in America" last night. Albert Brooks is a very specific type of humor - neurotic, anxious, excitable - that I enjoy. I think I might identify with him a little too much. Julie Hagerty is great in this too.

DAVID: "What was your plan?"LINDA: "I was thinking we go to New York as soon as we can."DAVID: "And I eat ####?"LINDA: "Yeah."DAVID: "My plan, too!"

This isn't news to most of you, but Black Mirror is great.

gimme an episode to watch. I've seen two and am pretty meh about it.

I watched half of the first season and couldn't get into it.  I do acknowledge that I'm in the minority on this.

Love that movie.

How much are you looking to make?

I don't know, like $80,000?

Without being spoiler-y, which two?

The best one I've seen was the one where you can see past memories. Just looked it up - Entire History of You.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

The last two episodes are intense and a good watch. They make the season worth watching but don't make up for the crappy first few episodes. Overall, nowhere near the level of the first two seasons but not the worst thing I've seen.

I have the same opinion. Also Gillian Anderson seems a lot less spectacular in season 3 - is she putting on weight?

I can't remember or read well enough to see if I mentioned that we finished it too. finsihed. done. my favorite part about ireland is that they only put serial killers in handcuffs when he's surrounded by giant, hulking, armed policemen. rest of the time, not so much.

 

[El Floppo]

the pig one and the one with jon hamm. jon hamm one was a bit more interesting, but pretty flawed.

This plus the disappearing, maybe in-love? nurse bugged me the most about the last season.

when it finished, the wife said something like- ok, they ended it. that's good. which seemed funnier to me in the moment than writing it out.

nurse better and the can't love, death awaits or whatever thing and no boobs. terrible.

and ####### scully whispering all the time.

Not to mention the psycho teenage chick who just kind of meandered in the background.

And no boobs, definitely turrible.

yeah... wtf even include her? other than to tease the audience that something might happen- like she might try her hand at serial killing, or boobs.

 

[saintfool]

still watching "Penny Dreadful" and still enjoying the loopy fun of its storytelling. The plotting is all over the place but it's still enjoyable.
