Ares (Dutch TV show of no relation to the French movie)
It’s like a prequel to Eyes Wide Shut (without the nudity) about college students hoping to enter the secret society at the heart of Bill Harford’s wild night. And shit gets real weird and scary FAST.
If that premise appeals to you, you’ll probably binge the whole thing.
Touted as Netflix’s first Dutch original series, Ares does a fine job of not only amping up the creepiness and tension, but setting up a little of what Rosa might be in for by the end of the first episode. Created by Pieter Kuijpers, Iris Otten and Sander van Meurs, the episodes are only around 30 minutes. But the writers pack more than enough story in that short time to move their story along at a rapid but not overwhelming pace.
Ares is carried by a strong lead performance that roots the craziness going on around that character in some emotional reality. And that’s always the key to horror shows like this.
Now that Lawrence of Arabia is on Netflix I started it for the first time. I am only halfway through and dont really have any urge to finish it. Not sure but the movie doesnt get me. Maybe because I know it wont have a happy ending since I know the history. I also find O’Toole weird esp his speaking.
jfc. I watched it recently just for the mag-fucking-nificent cinematography without giving a shit about the storyline and dodgy racial attitudes common at that time (props to Netflix for the tagline mentioning this).
You know it won’t have a happy ending because he dies in the opening scene.
idk, that’s a weird one to not like. It’s consistently listed as one of the greatest movies ever made by both critics and audiences.
I didnt mean that ending. I mean the overall ending for the Arabs. It didnt end with Arabia for the Arabs it ended with Sykes-Picot.
Because it’s still considered good or because its significance is undeniable?
I don’t like Jane Austen’s writing style, but I recognize it’s good and revolutionized the genre.
I think Citizen Kane is unwatchable, but I have similar feelings. It’s a great movie that had an undeniable impact. I still can’t finish it.

Lister also appeared in several high-profile movies including “The Dark Knight,” “The Fifth Element” and “Zootopia.” Lister played President Lindberg in “The Fifth Element” but will perhaps best be remembers on the big screen as Deebo in the "Friday"film series. One of Lister’s co-stars, Ice Cube, took to Twitter to remember the entertainer shortly after his death was announced.
Hmm
Cowan revealed that Lister displayed symptoms of COVID-19 in recent days. The actor had been working on a film, but had to cancel shooting as a result of feeling ill.
fuuuuuck, man that guy was awesome
Because it’s a great movie. I have thoroughly enjoyed Lawrence of Arabia every one of the half dozen times I’ve seen it, several of those being in full 70 mm format in a great old theater complete with intermission. People don’t go to those screenings over and over again because of academic interest.
How dare they forget No Holds Barred. That put him on the map.
That is a good point.
I’m distinguishing two things.
“Is this a great movie?” is a different question than “Is this a great experience?”
You can make an argument for the former as an objective claim. Armond White makes some pretty persuasive arguments why Transformers 2 is objectively better than anyone realizes (LOL). But people can’t help it if they say this is objectively terrible BUT I ENJOY IT vs this is objectively good BUT I CAN’T STAND IT.
I didn’t realize he was a wrestler. I think i only know him from Friday and Next Friday which are obviously elite movies
He’s in a bunch of great movies:
His performance when Korben’s mom starts talking shit 
He’s wearing the same jumpsuit he wore in Next Friday.
I’m looking through his filmography, he was in Meteor Man which was one of my favorites as a young child, also Universal Soldier which was a great Jean Claude Van Damme pic
Meteor Man one of my favorites too. DUCY, you are the first person I’ve met since that movie came out who has even heard of it.
Haha I was 6 or 7 when it came out and my parents let me rent it, I loved it! Probably saw it 5+ times during that time. I still remember the gang with the gold/bleached hair, what a look
It’s odd we don’t have more WWE guys as character actors or even major Hollywood stars like The Rock.
Yeah, I agree with that. And I totally get that about something like Citizen Kane, which I’ll likely never watch again. But Lawrence of Arabia is so widely loved I’m surprised to hear somebody say they didn’t like it. It’s equivalent to not liking Casablanca or The Wizard of Oz or something.
