The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

It’s all content these days IMHO, you might consider YouTube short form content, but there are lots of YouTube creators getting more views than the networks or Netflix.

Should we merge this with the book thread?

Oh sure, I often confuse watching content with reading books… :slight_smile:

More seriously though, perhaps breaking down by length makes more sense?
Movies for stuff over an hour long
TV for stuff from 30 minutes to an hour
Internet for stuff under 30 minutes?

This Illustrates the fact that all these mediums are blurring together. It’s getting more and more difficult to differentiate based on quality, length, style, for example. Those use to be easy ways to categorize.

Lol do you categorize your music collection autobiographically too? :)

I rewatched Chronicle recently and found myself seeing it with a new perception in light of the #metoo allegations against the screenwriter and Josh Trank by all accounts struggling mightily hard with some personal issues.

The cancelled sequel to Chronicle sounded awesome :frowning:

Trank’s upcoming movie Capone starring Tom Hardy sounds…well I’ll just say I hope it’s good.

I have no idea who Josh Trank is but Tom Hardy is the GOAT so I’ll be watching it

He made one short film and two movies.

First he made this AWESOME Star Wars short film.

Which led to his first feature.

Based on the surprise success of Chronicle (and that short film), he was hired to make a new Star Wars movie and to reboot Fantastic Four.

Reports during shooting were bad. Really bad. They reshot most of the movie and edited it into something Josh Trank personally trashed on Twitter mere hours before the movie premiered.

He was fired from Star Wars and we’ve been waiting to see what’s next from him ever since.

I’ve never made it all the way through F4. The clips are that bad. But I’m going to watch it now from Trank’s perspective. I think that’s enough to get me through the whole thing.

I watched this video and everyone involved seems to think they’re making a Michael Schur-style lovefest with occasional jokes.

I mean I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve watched the whole damn show and it’s a dystopian satire of big tech.

I’m really going to hit them hard.’

I was like, ‘You’re crazy.’

And he’s like, ‘No, hurting kids is funny. It’s going to be really funny.’

I was like, ‘Adam!’

And that’s what he did—he really hit those kids as hard as he could. And I cut right before you see the kids just fully start crying.

Yeah, I follow you. If you want to discuss further I can point out some of the things that worried me and you can tell me how they’re handled (or if they’re handled) over the course of the season.

Ahahah, this rules. Davis also directed CB4 and Half Baked, FYI.

sure

Lol, I assumed they gave him a softer ball or something.

Recently watched Talented Mr Ripley and it is so freaking good. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is in like 3 scenes and owns the movie. Damon is great, Jude Law is great, even Goop Girl is great.

I guess I don’t really get why the Adam Sandler dodgeball thing is funny.

He’s like a 30 year old hitting a bunch of defenseless 6 year olds in the face with full force dodgeball throws.

It’s honestly pretty fucked up.

It’s so rewatchable.

Genuinely one of the worst movies I’ve seen in the last decade, what a waste of a good cast. I think they have plans to introduce the fantastic four to marvel now?
