  • Here it is, in short. I would need to cross check some things to make sure it is all correct, but this is the story in brief: Some time in March, 1944, the 45th was moving into Germany in near co

It’s not bad even though I normally don’t enjoy re-enactments. If you are interested in samurai, then read Sho-Gun by James Clavell. It is one of my all time favorite novels. 

Isn’t this the same story or at least parts of it? Ieyasu = toranaga. 

After watching the first half of “I care a lot” I don’t think I’ve ever hated someone so much in my life.

Just finished I Care A Lot as the wife wanted to watch it.  Might be one of the worst movies I have seen just based on the piss poor writing.  It was like it was written by a 5th grader.  Too many things just “happened to happen” at the right time which is shitty writing and the way they made Peter Dinklage’s character act is so not the way it would go in real life.  I think some people here on Surly are actually in the movie business out in Hollywood.  If you are and know the person that wrote that movie please slap them up side the head for me.  Thanks. I appreciate it.

The Angel (2018)

not going to ruin it for anyone, stumbled in to it cold, highly recommend.  felt like a mashup of munich meets charlie wilson's war with a dash of imitation game

joe bob says check it out

 

Any aardvarking?

Counterpart is a pretty good watch 
Really enjoyed that one. Was pissed that it didn't get more seasons. JK Simmons is a fantastic actor.

How the fuck did Rosamund Pike win a Golden Glove for I care A Lot. Shit was garbage

She's the lead in Amazon's big-ass Wheel of Time series.   $100s of millions will be riding on her.

She's pretty nimble at shortstop.

All you girly men who are watching I Care Alot need to cleanse your soul with some Biggie doc....jfc

The Resistance  Banker is ok.  Dutch movie but dubbed.  Not horribly though.  The actual mechanics they use to develop and run a substantial underground bank during WWII is a little hard to follow, which took away from the movie.    Just a lot of people doing something you knew was dangerous, so you just took their word for it.   

Finished Knightfall.  Always enjoy a well done Templar series.  Mark Hamill trades in his light saber for a broadsword.

Call My Agent was a fun series with lots of good cameos.  French dubbed.  Family Business sucked though.  

Mudbound is back.  Great movie, gritty in places.

The Quartet was a decent piece with Maggie Smith and Billy Connolly doing great work in a UK retirement home for aging musicians.   

A quirky Maggie Smith movie is The Lady in the Van.  It's on Amazon though.

Biggie doc slammed and went hard. I was too young to remember that era of rap while it was happening, I feel like I missed out.

with all the mumble trash that is out there now you definitely missed out. 

The new miniseries Behind Her Eyes gets a glowing, spoiler-free review. Apparently, it has a "big reveal" near the end that the critic compares to Sixth Sense, Se7en, Crying Game, and The Usual Suspects in its impact.

Think I'll give it shot tonight.

Watched it with my wife. Pretty good. 

Watched the first season of Lupin. Thought maybe 2 episodes were good. The rest were slightly entertaining with little bearing on the plot. The cliffhanger at the end of the last episode sucked. Don’t think I’ll continue when second season comes out.

I was watching the Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan and I came to the conclusion that I would have been a pretty badass Samurai warrior if I had been alive at the time.

Lmao!

Swear I said the same thing to my wife last night when we started it...

She was like he’s a ruthless cousin as he’s going to battle against family. I said “fuck’em, they wanna act like big dogs, then they can get bit too. I’d be a badass Shogun or Daimyo! And nobody ever fucking touch my Katana or Wakizashi!”

Pretty sure she rolled her eyes

No spoiler but Rasheed on American BBQ showdown is a badass dude...world needs more people like him.

did she not rip one of her own eyeballs out? because if not then i'm not sure she could hang. 

I can imagine myself having my own castle fortress and taking my captured enemies into my dungeon and doing a subtle nodding gesture to my servants and then they know its time to decapitate my capture foes.

Finished the Mormon Murder doc. It's worth the watch. Three episodes, less than an hour each.

Spoiler

Basically a con man tried to con the church invented by a con man. Also, I'm pretty sure uzi dude was a gay lover. 

 


I watched it. Solid 6 I’d say.


Yup. I really liked it until I didn’t.

The new Brian Regan special is a pretty good return to form if you’re a fan. I liked it.

Watched it last night. Vintage Regan. Liked it a lot.

Also, regarding I Care A Lot: why was hotshot sociopath driving a (at least) ten year old BMW? That actually bothered me.

I’m trying to decide if I should tell my 14 year old daughter to watch Big Mouth. Her mother would probably kill me.

i care a lot. liked it. did not love it. 

I saw some of the "reviews" on here trashing it.  Yeah, parts of it were really unbelievable.  I liked the ending though.

How can you tell?  They've mostly been the same flavor of meh for at least that long.

I was starting to get worried that the payoff wouldn’t come.  Needed that ending.  

Toon is a weird ass Dutch comedy that is pretty good.  The roommate has some great lines.

It was definitely a Bangle. They stopped making those abominations in 2010.

+1 for Murder Among The Mormons. Best episode is the last one.

Spoiler

Agreed. They did a good job of waiting till the last episode to show what a textbook sociopath he really is. Also him saying "uhhh" before every answer in that super whiney voice during the jail interview made me hate him even more.

Watched it last week.

The ending twist fucked me up, man.

Great little show.

Not sure what to think about this series. I liked the twist at the end but man the first few episodes moved slow. If it had been more than 6 episodes I probably would’ve bailed on it because I had a hard time staying into it. It also made me realize that Scottish accents annoy the crap out of me.

I’m looking to the documentary The Last Blockbuster. Comes out a week from yesterday I think. Lots of nostalgia. And anger over the late fees lol. 
 

A statement on the official Facebook page for the documentary reads: “A lot of people know that Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix early on and they passed on the opportunity.

“In an ironic twist of fate, our movie The Last Blockbuster is coming to Netflix one week from today.
