Can you stream them somewhere so there’s no commercials?Definitely.
I urge you to watch Taboo and Trust. FX is doing incredible work.

One season, season two still being created.Was taboo more than 1 season? I think I just added it on the Hulu queue this am.
It used to be on Hulu. I own the Bluray, but I think the last time I streamed it it only costs $20 for the entire season on Amazon.Can you stream them somewhere so there’s no commercials?
Succession and Taboo didn't turn my crank. Ok, but not great for me.I would say that's not so for Succession, Trust and Taboo. Big budgets. We don't have to agree on this, but until you watch those shows, it's hard to get into a deep conversation about this.
I don't even know who you are anymore.Succession and Taboo didn't turn my crank. Ok, but not great for me.
we saw it in the theater. i remember it as pretty funny with lots of out loud funny bits. it eventually settles down to a more conventional ending but it's still a fun ride.I’m on a plane and just watched Booksmart due to the good reviews here. I agree with you guys. Terrific movie. The two leads were outstanding, but as I think about it more, everyone was damn well cast.
Agree about it later settling into being more conventional. Still, it had enough before that to make me feel that, for this genre, it was special. And gosh, those two leads... I’d watch them forever.we saw it in the theater. i remember it as pretty funny with lots of out loud funny bits. it eventually settles down to a more conventional ending but it's still a fun ride.
I haven’t, any of this. Thanks so much for the recommendation. On it!If you haven't seen the TV series "What We Do In the Shadows", it's great, and Beanie Feldstein is in a few episodes.
Of course if you haven't, watch the movie first. It's from the writer/director/Hitler of JoJo Rabbit.
It’s hilarious. If you’re a Matt Berry fan, check out Year of the Rabbit too.I haven’t, any of this. Thanks so much for the recommendation. On it!
The test audiences hated the original ending which was a 13 year old Perkins being introduced as a new student in Josh’s class.Watched Big with the kids (12 & 8), who liked it. Holds up well, but some things I noticed this time around:
Josh's (Hanks) kid friend spends a lot of time running around a NYC (and skid row, fleabag hotel NYC to boot) that has screaming and gunshots regularly occuring.
Elizabeth Perkins character is a sleep her way to the top... chippy. I remembered her falling for joshs childish charm, not the fact that the boss likes him. granted, she comes around- but speaking of...
Pretty sure they schtupped... Regularly. And then when she realized who he was, it was just a wistful knowing grin...not a wtf have I done, can I go to jail for this, I need to take a long bath moment of ewwwww.
GF and I both liked itHeard Chris Harris (fantasy football guy) do his annual top 10 movie countdown so I decided to check out his top movie for 2019: Under the Silver Lake.
What a total crap. Might have been better than Inherent Vice but that’s not saying much.I guess I’m not into stoner movies with no point and no real logical plot whatsoever. I know they are aiming for a Big Lebowski, Altman Long Goodbye, noir thing (love all 3 of those) but this just comes off as pretentious pointlessness.
Lots of people did. I just don’t get it- maybe it’s me?GF and I both liked it
The movie has Jemaine and Murray in it. Surprised you haven't seen it yet.I haven’t, any of this. Thanks so much for the recommendation. On it!
make that "us"Lots of people did. I just don’t get it- maybe it’s me?
My cousin was in the first wave of canvas boats that crossed the Waal River south the 504PIR, and made it across (shown in the film-Robert Redford as Major Julian Cook)). Was KIA a week later near the German border. His remains have never been recovered.Started re-watchimg a bridge too far last night for the first time since seeing it in the theater. Such a great cast, but I forgot how long it is...couldn't get through it. War is hell/fubar, amiright?
I started reading your post as your cousin was in the movie with robert redford's group... but wow. unbelievable sacrifice- I can't imagine what he and they went through, even from the movie. but fubar seems to describe it...My cousin was in the first wave of canvas boats that crossed the Waal River south the 504PIR, and made it across (shown in the film-Robert Redford as Major Julian Cook)).

I always watch that movie with him in mind and utter unbelief of the bravery he and his fellow troopers had.
I think the accent being so bad was intentional. They are doing a sequel focused around Benoit Blanc himself.Watched Knives Out last night. I enjoyed it overall, but was disappointed when I figured out whodunnit too early on. Also, I thought Daniel Craig’s accent was turrible and I really appreciate Chis Evans’ character (Ransom) calling him out on it. 4/5
Just got back from it. I didn't like it. Thought it was silly. 80% of the movie was backstory. And they kept going over and over different characters back story.Walking Boot said:Just screened Birds of Prey at work. It's exactly what it tries to be. It's pure popcorn, fun to watch.
You aren’t alone. The Rotten Tomato Audiences really didn’t like it. Tons of reviews saying exactly what you said. The test before seeing it should be “have you ever complained because a movie had too many f bombs, too much yelling or the characters weren’t likable enough?” If you say yes than you are sure to Uncut Gem.Turned Uncut Gems off after about an hour. Both myself and gf thought wtf is this garbage? 75% of the time someone is yelling. 95% of the time they are dropping F-bombs. No likeable character at all. Sandler does a good job, I suppose, but we didn't give two hoots about anyone or anything. It was just annoying.
He seemed have a bit of a death wish, no? Like the only real thrill to him was betting everything (literally everything) and the more complicated and risky the play, the better rush. Plus he really beloved in that magic stone.As a gambler, I was most annoyed by having to watch some idiot try to hit a six-team parlay. And then putting stuff like "win the opening tip" and other coinflip stuff into his parlays that he literally stakes his life on.
Ya. I guess I fit that description. Lol.You aren’t alone. The Rotten Tomato Audiences really didn’t like it. Tons of reviews saying exactly what you said.

It's one of the most polarizing movies in awhile. It has an incredible ration of people who thought it was a top 5 movie of the year vs. people who walked out of it.Ya. I guess I fit that description. Lol.
I saw it in the theater too. And I think rewatched it a decade or more ago...and had the same realization as you. Were the special effects really bad? I can't remember what didn't work.Outland
Anyone remember this film with Sean Connery as the sheriff in space High Noon? Watching it now. I made my parents take me to see this when I was 8 It’s not that good.
What We Do In The Shadows movie and tv show are so good. Hard to imagine anyone not loving it. Here is the opening scene of the movie.If you haven't seen the TV series "What We Do In the Shadows", it's great, and Beanie Feldstein is in a few episodes.

I vaguely remember not being into it at all (movie) and shutting it down after about 20mins, but it's very high on my "need to revisit" list.What We Do In The Shadows movie and tv show are so good. Hard to imagine anyone not loving it. Here is the opening scene of the movie.
Really enjoyed the mockumentary, but didn’t think the show would be any good. I was wrong. Big fan of Matt Berry and the show works imo.I vaguely remember not being into it at all (movie) and shutting it down after about 20mins, but it's very high on my "need to revisit" list.
Connery's got a losing record when it comes to good films. Fantastic career but he's done plenty of meh to terrible films in it. Outland is meh at best.Outland

I guess I don't agree with the bolded. As long as they are interesting they can be unlikable, obnoxious, depressing all they want. The way I am interpreting your comment would take out a decent chunk of what I would consider great movies - There Will Be Blood and Wolf of Wall Street popped into mind.I haven't seen it and probably won't.
But I'm with you on this. I like all kinds of films - comedy, drama, western, sci fi, romance, period pieces, horror, historical, etc.
But the one kind that I don't like are the ones with unlikable, obnoxious and/or depressing characters who I couldn't care less about.
An exception would be a truly compelling or interesting setting or story - Goodfellas would be an example.I guess I don't agree with the bolded.

Gotcha- so basically you hate movies by PTA.An exception would be a truly compelling or interesting setting or story - Goodfellas would be an example.
Magnolia, The Favourite, The Master, etc. are examples that would not qualify for me.
There Will Be Blood started off well, but the 2nd half spiraled into a complete mess, IMO. We'll just have to disagree on that one.
