The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Watching Sucker Punch on Hulu and I heard this movie was horribly exploitative, but I just find it mostly confusing. Fight scenes instead of stripping, abusive step father becomes a priest dropping a orphan off?

I mean it is exploitative, but it a very PG 13 kind of way. Short skirts and low cut tops, when I was imagining so much worse.

I finally checked out Sucker Punch too. Unwilling to finish it. I thought it would be offensively bad, but it was just so much video game nonsense. What is real? Where are we going? Why does it matter? Snyder is such a terrific visual stylist, but the guy is in desperate need of a good script.

My one thought here is that I suspect Snyder used this movie to work through the intense struggle his daughter was going through that eventually took her life.

The first scene had me pumped. It was like a whole set up, expertly shot in a MTV music video kind of way that had me psyched for a kind of hyper stylized tightly focused movie, but after the first scene it quickly fell apart.

It’s one of my favorite cartoons

First season is pretty weak too.

I liked Bloodline alot, Season 1 is the best though, it gets worse as it goes.

i’ve watched all of these and its pretty funny, one of my friends has a teenager and they watch it together.

Green Arrow is pretty lame, only ever saw like two episodes. Flash and Supergirl are good times, tho.

Don’t read the replies to that Prime Video thread.

Finished S3 of Ozark and liked it a lot more than I think most have. One of the criticisms is that it’s much of the same and I think that’s true to some extent. But these characters in this situation is what the show is about and I think it is still working as well as ever. Especially Ruth. She may be my spirit animal.

Another complaints is about the new brother character but I found him really interesting. The way he was introduced was like, lol damn who is that?? The mental illness angle is a little tired but the part is really well acted and I think it works.

And I really liked the ending. The last 2 episodes were very entertaining and the finale was a great way to finish the season. Prediction: Marty and Wendy are going to end up running the cartel

On to Narcos Mexico next

Neat.

For parents, you can filter according to age range. As specific as movies for children ages 0-2.

Part of this is because Ben Mendelsohn is elite and more central in season 1.

Haters gonna hate

Watched season 2 of Miracle Workers on TBS over the past few days. It’s a comedy anthology, and I haven’t seen season 1, but I was pleasantly surprised. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s got Steve Buscemi and Harry Potter in it and has some good chuckles. Similar vibes to What We Do in the Shadows.

This ad is so good. Perfect facial framing, dialogue, and acting combine to instantly evoke the character and show they’re from.

The in thing now is for studios to make a fun studio logo intro sequence in keeping with the movie’s premise.

Not to be outdone, the new Mortal Kombat movie made their own.
