I was actually just going to post about Messiah. If I recall correctly, it was pretty hit or miss with people here. I was on the side that enjoyed it, but it wasn’t the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
But what I was going to post is that Netflix is not renewing it for season 2, so that’s that.
Tarantino is spending quarantine writing movie reviews.
His review of Prophecy is fire lol
Talia Shire aside, I was totally rooting for the fucked up hamburger faced bear to wipe everybody out.
And Seltzer even fucks that up!
The only thing not fun about the crazy climax is the stupid way Seltzer and Frankenheimer have Foxworth defeat the monster.
Binged Picard over the past couple of days and as a very big TNG fan, it was meh at best. The best part of the season was the deference showed to the storylines in the original series and movies with this group of characters. Where we are with the characters in this show made sense considering where we last left them.
But much of the dialogue was just awful and considering how much exposition there is, this is a bit of a problem. The new characters, including the lead, were one dimensional and boring (except Rafi, she’s a bad mofo), and the ending is ludicrous even by sci-fi standards.
Will watch season 2 if they offer another free preview at some point. But never paying for this.
WWZ much better on rewatch than I thought it would be. I just remember the lol behind the scenes stuff with reshooting a third of the movie and cutting out Matthew Fox’s entire character.
Not streaming free anywhere, I got a new YouTube TV trial.
Been reading the book again and it’s a masterpiece. Audiobook is the GOAT version though with a different actor for each character vignette.
Highly recommended as a more fun way to process pandemic anxiety than Contagion.
I think the disappointment in the movie is just how bad it was compared to how great the book was. It’s one of the worst adaptations of all time. As a standalone zombie movie it’s in the ok-not bad range. But as an adaptation, terrible.
Good point. I hope they do it justice one day as a kind of anthology series on HBO. Each episode would tell a different vignette. I mean the book has something like 50 different POVs/vignettes that take place over a decade-long pandemic. They could easily out pace The Walking Dead in seasons.
I thought the movie was solid but the author a week or two ago went on Reddit pretending he was qualified to speak about pandemics and I hope he dies.
Do you recall any specific highlights of what you hated about the AMA? Or just that part?
There was lots of China bashing which he’s not alone in unfortunately.
New episode of Tiger King coming
sigh
Wat?
Is Community worth watching?
Skip season one. But otherwise yes. The paintball episodes are among the finest tv ever made.
Okay that’s a good point. Don’t skip it. Just know that if you’re like so is that it? No, it gets unimaginably better.
this. If you’re gonna skip a season, make it 4. But don’t skip 4 either, just be prepared for it to be really, really tone shifty.
And it does lead to one of the best jokes of the series in season 5.
3022 got eviscerated in critic and audience reviews, but I am halfway through and am enjoying the hell out of it. Good for fans of Sunshine, Cloverfield Paradox, Event Horizon. Here’s hoping it doesn’t all fall apart in the second half 
This was outstanding. Masterfully executed. Great ending. Watch it asap. Comes it at a crisp 90 minutes.
I have seen the series 6 or 7 times. It is a very meta show. You will either love it or hate it is my best guess. It is not really a regular sitcom.
