"Well, you should ask, I was having a conversation with Kevin James the other day..." "Say no more. You're greenlit. Here's a mountain of cash." I thought NASCAR fans were still protesting the sport after they decided that maybe Confederate flags and the N word are things that they should steer clear of moving forward?
February 22, 20214 yr I Care A Lot was just okay. The second half missed the mark. I was hoping for more "Law Abiding Citizen" revenge carnage and it went a different direction.

The MBA drinking game and submitting resumes to keep your job hit a little close to home and made me chuckle. Drinking game was the highlight of the show for me.

All I know is Kevin James should be sending fat checks to: Ray Romano - guest appearances on Everybody Loves Raymond led to King of Queens Leah Remini and Jerry Stiller's family, since he clearly can't recreate the King of Queens magic without them (Kevin Can Wait and The Crew were godawful) Adam Sandler, for keeping him paid for a bunch of movies via Happy Madison (50 First Dates, Chuck and Larry, Paul Blart/Paul Blart 2, Grown Ups/Grown Ups 2, Here Comes the Boom, Pixels, Sandy Wexler, Hubie Halloween, Zookeeper) Edited February 22, 20214 yr by Js1
February 22, 20214 yr The Crew - got 5-10 minutes in on 1st episode. Thought,"Nope". Got up the next day, "I will give it a few more minutes." Watched probably 2 minutes... Nope.
February 23, 20214 yr I am enjoying Criminal: United Kingdom. It's just interrogations of suspects/persons of interest. Detectives also talk strategy outside the room. My wife likes it a lot as she likes detective shows, but hates those with a lot of violence.I love that show. Netflix also has “Criminal : Germany”, “Criminal : Spain” and “Criminal : France” that are also very good. Exact same setup and premise but in the different countries with different detectives. They even use the same set, if I remember correctly.

February 24, 20214 yr Lol at I Care a Lot. Walking Dead level writing. My gut told me to turn it off at the car/lake scene. I should have listened. What a terrible movie. Worst antihero ever put on a screen. Someone should have told the writers that antiheroes need redeeming qualities and depth. Also worst mafia ever.

February 24, 20214 yr I paid a lot of money for Rosetta Stone to speak Spanish, but after I paid I still couldn't speak Spanish. So I called them up and asked them why and they said I had to take a bunch of steps before I could do it. So then I signed up for the Babble app and now I am good.
February 24, 20214 yr I love Dinklage but at no point was he convincing as a scary mobster. Especially not when they plot armor the "protagonist" through everything he does to her.

Yeah I think they tried to make it more dark comedy instead making a straight thriller, but they made the main character so unlikeable I was craving more carnage.
February 25, 20214 yr Did S3 of The Sinner, quite good and will be watching the first 2 now.Wait, are you serious? It was terrible.
February 25, 20214 yr Really enjoyed the Pele documentary. Always heard him referred to as the GOAT, but never knew any of his history. Dude started kicking ass at 16 and never looked back.

February 25, 20214 yr Watched I Care a Lot...Holy crap that was terrible. Told my wife I’ve never rooted for the Russian Mafia before and also been so poorly disappointed in their ability to kill someone.Basically up to the lake seen it was tolerable but after that even my wife was saying this cunt better die.Girlboss!!! Meets a shitty version of layer cake

February 25, 20214 yr Put me in the camp of WTF for 'I Care A Lot'. As others stated, it was a decent ride until the lake scene. You've spent the entire movie portraying this woman and her girlfriend as ruthless people praying on elderly people. Now, you want the audience to sympathize\empathize with the same women after they escaped what they truly deserved? Nope. Was I the only one who had to IMDB Alicia Witt? I was like, the voice is quite familiar but I can't quite place that face....

February 26, 20214 yr Is anyone else getting tired of trying to start a new series only to find out the character voices are dubbed over,?
February 26, 20214 yr I like foreign detective series. I'm finishing up a Finnish series called Deadwind. Pretty good. Shetland which takes place in Scotland is really good with beautiful scenery (actually that may be Amazon). Broadchurch and Hinterland are likewise excellent.

February 26, 20214 yr I’m secure enough in my masculinity to say it... I enjoyed watching Bridgerton. Enjoyed it as in I actually thought it was a decent show. Not amazing or anything, but good.

February 27, 20214 yr Is anyone else getting tired of trying to start a new series only to find out the character voices are dubbed over,? Turn them off and go to native language with English CC. Netflix should make that the default, dubbing sucks.
February 27, 20214 yr i have no idea if there was a thread for it or was discussed 3 years ago in this thread, search is useless 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 history fu, spy fu, middle-east fu, airport-fu, boac-fu, bea-fu, twa-fu, el-al-fu, moletn-hot-israeli-playing-an-egyptian-female-lead-fu, austin-powers-fu, mossad-fu joe bob says check it out

February 27, 20214 yr been watching this Samurai thing since i first saw it last night, and it's pretty kickass so far. anyone who likes watching historical docs should give it a shot.
February 28, 20214 yr My wife wanted to watch a more chick-friendly show so I put on the series Georgia and Jenny, having no idea what to expect. It's not bad. The easy comp is Gilmore Girls but it's much slightly darker and adult-oriented but with all the same manufactured stupid drama. So I'd say it's what you get if you took Rory from the Gilmore Girls, gave her a much faster set of friends (think Mean Girls or Heathers) (eh, maybe more like Glee or the OC or something) and made her mom more a little crazy and rednecky like Ruth Langmore from Ozark, but older and with sexier outfits.

March 2, 20214 yr New Biggie doc was pretty good. More about his start to the drug and rap game than the beef with 2pac etc.
