It’s a French show about a talent agency in Paris and they have actual French actors portraying themselves. It’s light and entertaining with French people being French. As a Francophile, it’s right up my alley. I finished this some time ago. A good series. All the cameos of known stars past and present in French film is pretty interesting.
May 3, 20214 yr We watched the first episode of the Life in Color with David Attenborough. I realized after it was over that my son had made it this far without seeing much in quality nature docs. He was into it. It's like Mutual of Omaha with really good sharp photography.
May 3, 20214 yr another rec for The Serpent...really, really good. i love when i come across something that was seriously kind of a big deal but i've never heard of it before. there would have been a thread in DT tracking this story today, "Dutch Diplomat Derails Dastardly Death Dealer" or something lol really well done Edited May 3, 20214 yr by mchookem
May 3, 20214 yr No way NASCAR would do it. They would want to do a scripted, heavily edited, show that did nothing but say how great NASCAR is.It would be Orange County Choppers or Duck Dynasty.
May 3, 20214 yr You’re welcome. Now that you’re hooked, come on over to the Formula 1 thread in Other Sports for race day discussion. Finished S3 over the weekend and I’m full #teammax. It’s crazy how much drivers move around.

Bit of musical chairs, and they are all thinking that it wouldn't take much for them to lose their ride and have to go to IndyCar or something. Better than a lot of motorsports that get guys locked into long-term contracts, and when they suck, they somehow keep their ride.
May 4, 20214 yr There were things I liked about The Serpent. The way it was shot was very cool, but overall fuck that show. Zero characters didn’t need to be punched in the face and all the time hopping sucked

May 4, 20214 yr Just saw that Grosjean went to Indy. I figured he’d never drive again. I can’t believe he is driving again after that accident. Setting aside the fact that he seems like he is a bad driver.
May 4, 20214 yr Started I Am A Killer a few nights ago. Anyone else tune in to this documentary about death row prisoners? It is, to me at least, a fascinating and terribly sad look at the inmates, victims and the related parties to awful crimes. The toll of wrecked lives is incalculable and sometimes dotted with reconciliation and redemption.

Not all the killers interviewed on the show are on death row btw.

Heard. All the episodes I’ve seen (1st three) have the inmates on DR with one of them commuted by Perry.

Watched 2 eps and agree with a lot of the stuff posted. Time hopping is annoying Monique is smoke Knippenberg is punchable

May 7, 20214 yr I just started Sons of Sam. Now that's the New York where I grew up - filthy and crime ridden - not the shiney yuppie playground people think of today. Edited May 7, 20214 yr by ajax

May 9, 20214 yr Checked an episode of Apache and ended up binge watching most of the first season. Good story about a kid who grows up in the slums of Argentina to make it big (soccer) Second season is slated for August.

May 10, 20214 yr I just started Sons of Sam. Now that's the New York where I grew up - filthy and crime ridden - not the shiney yuppie playground people think of today.As a kid visiting New York City in the mid 80’s I was terrified. The subway ride is still probably the most scared I’ve ever been in my life.

May 11, 20214 yr Only a couple of eps left of After Life, but really digging it. Pat the mailman is great.
May 11, 20214 yr 4 eps into Peaky Blinders. Great show. Gosh I wish I was watching it for the first time. I’ve watched it about 10 times. One of my favorite series ever.
May 14, 20214 yr The new “Love, Death & Robots” has some good ones. If you have teens watch the “all through the house” vignette. Funny.

Just about ready to start the new season and came in here to see if anyone was heaping praise upon it yet. Judging the number of episodes and the length of each, it's going to go quick (like I did in South Austin's mom).

There (to me) is only one dud in the bunch and that’s the last one. The rest were solid to really good. The first season I think top to bottom was better but this season is no slouch. Even the episode I thought was slow, still had cool stuff to it.
May 15, 20214 yr The Woman in the Window Pretty good. Every actor does a good job of playing their role. Amy Adam’s does a great job carrying it.
May 15, 20214 yr it's not on Netflix. it's on Peacock. but "Girls5Eva" is pretty fucking hysterical. great writing. plenty of cussing. good cameo appearances.

May 19, 20214 yr Just finished the documentary Framing John Delorian, about the guy that made the sweet ass cars from the eighties. Evidently, they stopped making the cars at some point since then. Anyway, Morena Bacarin plays his wife in the reenactments and Alec Baldwin gives a lot of commentary too
May 22, 20214 yr Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” dropped today.I just started it but holy cats the first 15 minutes is probably one of the best openings and world building I’ve seen in a movie.
May 22, 20214 yr Binged all (season 1 and 2) of Love, Death and Robots last night. Think the only way I could've done that was because I was really high.
May 22, 20214 yr 4 hours ago, Hozz said: Army of the Dead was good but it was way too long. Wayyy to long. But enjoyable overall
May 22, 20214 yr Army of the Dead didn’t need the daughter subplot and could’ve excised 20 minutes of runtime. The team could’ve just happened upon the women instead of involving the daughter at all. The Coyote could’ve provided all the exposition needed on why the women were there.
May 23, 20214 yr Army of the Dead was good but it was way too long.Watching now, all the short focal length shots are really annoying.
