I binged both seasons of the US version and loved them. The description above is pretty accurate. The endgames of both seasons were fascinating. It's clear that there are really two different games going on during the process, and some contestants have figured this out while others haven't (or don't want to).
Well produced and decently acted...Movie really showed how poorly Affleck has developed as an actor and how much better Damon has become.
What concept? The story of how Nike signed Jordan?
Yup
Not sure how it was dumb. It is what it was. Put in all eggs for one guy and it worked. How is that dumb? Risky? - sure, but not dumb.
So.....you're saying you don't agree? That's cool. I thought it was a dumb concept. Glad you liked it though
"Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? Oh, it looks good on you though."
More saying it seems like an odd comment. Neither right or wrong....just odd.
Well if you feel my opinion is odd.....that's fine. Not sure why you'd think so. Just cause it doesn't align with yours? I didn't call your opinion odd right?
Agreed..And I felt it was a dumb concept. That's all. I wasn't surprised by the concept. Not like I went in there thinking it would be something it wasn't. We go to a lot of movies, some we like, some we don't. We thought this concept was dumb. But it was a movie, and we like movies.Yeah not trying to pile on, you could not have liked the movie which is fine but what did you think the concept was going to be about when they dramatize what actually happened? The concept is the entire movie
We're just not sure what you thought was "dumb as rocks". Was it that they decided to make a movie about Nike signing Jordan at all?
Yeah...Man..I'm struggling to understand what the issue is here. We thought it was a dumb concept to make a movie about. Do you guys have Nike stock or something? Why is this turning into a battle?
It's one of the greatest, most impactful events in the history of marketing.
Dude...We are not doing this. How about you accept I found it dumb and move on? As I have done with your opinion of the movie. You liked it, great. I support that 100%, I'm not trying to change your mind on it. I promise.
I didn't even see it. I'm just curious as to why you watched a movie knowing full well what it would be about and thinking it's stupid going into it.
It has nothing to do with aligning with my opinion or not. It's the phrasing that is odd to me....not your opinion. It's not personal at all. Seems like an odd word to use to describe a true life story depicted in a movie when that was what the entire movie was marketed as. That is all. Nothing more...nothing less. Just an odd phrasing to me (and I appear to not be alone with that misunderstanding)
When mad men came out we watched it. Now, it just doesn't seem to hold up. Not really sure why.
Cool. We can move on now right?
I answered that earlier. Moving on now. Your thoughts are appreciated.
I'll try to steelman this one a little because I feel like I kind of sympathize a bit with the guy who didn't like Air. To be fair, I haven't seen Air, and I'm not going to. But I've seen both Oppenheimer and Killers of the Flower Moon, and I thought both were underwhelming because they go on and on and on, and there's absolutely no suspense or character development of any kind. You know every single thing that is going to happen in each film before you sit down for your 3+ hour historical slog-fest.
I haven't seen Flower Moon yet. Want to though. I wonder if it is like the Irishman. In the sense that the first time I saw it I didn't like it that much, but when I watched it a second time, I liked it a lot. Joe Pesci was awesome in it.
The execution might not have been to your liking but you can see why they'd make a movie about it.
It's a pretty film. Scorsese knows how to frame a shot, obviously.
Ugh...3.5 hours is really long.
I wasn't trying to pile on anything. I was just looking for clarification because the phrasing was odd. You have described exactly my initial question much better than I did. "concept" was the stumbling point for me.
i'm feeling the exact opposite of late
I have an archeology degree and a minor in history. I go historical doc over anything.
FWIW I like documentaries just fine. It's the "historical narrative" genre that I dislike.
We all have different tastes. But can we agree that the "music biopic" genre is completely played out and should be retired?
But then you wouldn't get the Amy Winehouse movie you didn't know you needed!
100% agree. Especially when they sanitize the story to make it more palatable to the public.
Also two episodes an and liking it. Nice find.
I just started Season 2 and am kind of in the same boat. I will probably continue but it has been a few weeks since I watched it as it isn't too interesting to me.
I don't typically mind coarse language, but they're throwing the F-bomb around pretty egregiously. It's practically a comma. Takes me out of the show.
I think the bolded and "c----sucker" make up about 1/4 of the dialogue.
I didn’t know this took place in Massachusetts…I think the bolded and "c----sucker" make up about 1/4 of the dialogue.
