The wife and I wrapped up Conversations with Friends. As far as shows she and I can agree on, it's okay. It's hard to reccomend to this group and fairly uneven. And Taylor Swift's boyfriend is pretty awful, as is the handling of his character. But the lead, Allison Oliver, is a revelation. Can't wait to see her in something else.

I don't know why, because I did like S1, but I didn't watch S2 of The Boys on Amazon Prime.
I see S3 is about to drop, and now I'm going to binge S2 to catch up.... because the trailer for S3 looks fairly amazeballs.
Anyone have thoughts on S2 and what they're expecting for S3 without giving too much away about S2?

The Sadness - Shudder/AMC+. A Taiwanese zombie movie! Although I’m not sure they’re zombies… transmission seems about like 28 Days Later, but they retain their intelligence and ability to speak and use tools - they just lose their self control and become ultraviolent and super horny. This is a brutal movie, with zombies that aren’t just mindless killers, but sadistic predators who are also very rapey. It’s an interesting twist, and the story itself was surprising - basically 2 people trying to find each other during the outbreak, but an atypical end. Also the final scene was surprising.
Also a ridiculously gory movie, with over the top blood - like if we were just balloons walking around with 50 gallons of pressurized blood in them just waiting to spray out.
This was worth watching, but raping sadistic zombies are too close to reality - I hope this is a one-off and nobody takes this idea forward.
I wonder what my world map of zombie movies looks like.

Finished the reunion season. Somehow after 20 years they didn't miss a beat. Converted my wife, we're watching the old ones she never saw the first time around. Good times.
Also, a message from Scott:

That's one of several shows on my "to watch" list. I've heard good things, but I never get around to starting it for some reason LOL.

The first season kind of blew me away. Second season was more silly but certainly entertaining. But I love Ron Moore so I’m all in. It’s also the only thing I’ve seen Joel Kinnaman in where I liked him. And speaking of The Boys, the actress that plays Butcher’s wife is Kinnaman’s wife in this and she’s worth a watch. The entire female cast is particularly good.

Tough call today for nerds with Obi Wan and Stranger Things dropping.

Meltdown: Three Mile Island on Netflix. Documentary about the 1979 nuclear accident at Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. Only 4 episodes so it's a quick watch. Keep in mind it's a documentary, not a mini-series and nowhere near as good as HBO's Chernobyl from a couple years ago, but a good watch overall if you like that sort of thing.
Yeah, Amazon decided to wait a week for season 3 of The Boys. Probably a good call

Good timing - I finished the season off over lunch. I enjoyed it overall, but kind of hope they don’t bring back many old characters. I loved Eradicator originally, but its time passed.
More dong than I expected.

I'll be walking past the house that happened at tomorrow. My friends in Durham live in that neighborhood, and when we take a walk we always go past it. I won't say anymore since you don't know the case.

I started watching this two weeks ago mostly just because I read the book a while back, but I'm hooked now. It's really well-executed. I'm not a fan of the weird main character micro-flashbacks, but everything else is great. Great acting (Andrew Garfield really surprised me), great pacing (the episodes are an hour long but it flies by), fantastic scenery of course.
As for the accuracy, I have no idea of course, but the book got into the fundamentalist sects much earlier than the show went into any detail on that, so the "normal" Mormons obviously seemed more forward-thinking in comparison and I was kinda surprised at the way the show portrays them.

It's a fantastic show, very dark and alien. It seems, at least to someone as far removed from the culture as I am, to do a great job showing how the local community deals with the different levels of faith that are always bubbling just beneath the surface.
I heard good things too but tried to watch a few episodes and it is pretty boring. I stopped middle of 2nd episode.

Big fan of this show.
1st part of S1 is more a history/alt-history of the early space race with lots of true stories, characters and facts intermingled into the alt-hostory. If the space race and it's history isn't your thing, it's not a pewpewpew type of show, even though there's more "action" as it progresses.

Obi-Wan. Baby Leia is just as annoying as Baby Yoda was.
Kind a weird watching the beginning where the storm troopers stormed the jedi classrooms and killed one of the teachers. At least the teachers had lightsabers.

Im not really a fan of the child actor they got to play Leia, but you’re the first person I’ve ever heard say something negative about baby today.

In the first episodes of season 2, the show lost it's mojo - but there's a point where the mojo returns and the Boys are back

Sex Pistols mini series starts tomorrow on FX
Energizing, explosive content with intense form, Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle brings scuzzy verve to Pistol, FX’s miniseries (May 31) about the blitzkrieg rise and fall of Britain’s iconic punks, the Sex Pistols. Shot and edited with pedal-to-the-metal speed and face-punching ferocity, this six-part endeavor about the four-piece’s 1970s heyday captivatingly conveys the band’s rebellious aim to upend the status quo and spit in the face of the establishment—both literally and figuratively. Revisiting an era and a movement marked by a combination of radical dissent and callous opportunism, it’s a multifaceted snapshot of the anarchy that the Pistols wrought first in the U.K., and then throughout the world.

The Wailing - many services right now, can't remember which I watched on. This is a very highly rated Korean horror movie with a slight touch of zombie (only about 5 minutes). I didn't really care for it... it does have me thinking a bit more than the average movie, but the huge twist people talk about at the end didn't really seem like a twist to me. There are a few things that aren't clear at the end of the movie.

Quarantine 2 - Prime. MFN ZOMBIES ON A MFN PLANE! This is a sequel to the American remake of [REC]... I saw some version of that long ago that was pretty freaky, but I can't remember which version. Anyway, there really isn't much connecting the two - just some references to a quarantined apartment building. This movie starts on a plane, and I really liked something they did... we know it's a zombie movie on a plane, and we've seen this scene many times, with someone boarding the plane looking like they're about to puke. Well, this movie gives you:
They soon land, which probably makes the most sense - not much scene variety on a plane. They're quarantined at the terminal, zombie hijinks ensue.
This movie was better than I expected it to be. A sequel to a remake that has nothing to do with the original sounds like a disaster, but this wasn't bad. I mean, don't subscribe to watch this or anything, but if you're looking for some mindless zombie fun, this wasn't bad.
- Copilot with a cold who said something about neighborhood dogs
- Passenger is sneezing
- Guy gets bitten by hamster
- Lady with a cat
- Pregnant lady who wiped down her chair with alcohol and says she's a bit warm

I enjoyed it quite a bit, more for the overall tone and slow, menacing pace. I found it visually appealing and consistently creepy. Agree about the twist, though I didn't go in expecting one so wasn't an issue with me. With horror I more or less forgive plot/story holes as long as the ride is good.

Oh boy. I'll be curious to hear what people think. Love the Pistols, love/hate Danny Boyle. That trailer doesn't make me optimistic, though.

I wonder who would commodify personal destruction for a dollar...

The dollar can't drown decadent rot forever.
No future. No future for you.

The Horde - Plex (free). A French zombie movie! Some cops go to a run-down apartment building and join forces with some gangsters when zombies show up. I can see the good movie setup in here somewhere, but this didn't do it. The camera effects that tried to make up for a low budget weren't convincing, the story was dreary even for a zombie movie, none of the characters was likeable at all... ugh.
A few nice things:
A few nice things:
- People in zombie movies are typically either being John Wick or showing their neck to be eaten. These people were in between, which was nice - they fought really hard hand-to-hand to try to stay alive.
- They never really figured out that it took a shot to the head, they just pumped 50 rounds into zombies until they accidentally got the head and never really noticed. I kind of liked that, though I guess it means they live in a world without zombie movies.
- We had no idea who was the main protagonist. It wasn't who I thought it was.

Anyone watching Shoresy? It's a Letterkenny spinoff with Kesso playing the hockey chirper full-time.
