[Supermoon]

The plot was idiotic, but the mayhem was delirious

Sounds good. I’m in.

WTF was that Six Underground movie starring Ryan Reynolds that I just watched?

Guy I work with is a retired screenwriter from H'Wood. He did rewrites on Bad Boys and Zorro, amongst others.

Today he said "Hey, just watch the first 6 minutes of Six Underground and then turn it off...the first six minutes is all you need to see." Then he went into detail about people's heads getting blown off.

I watched the trailer and immediately thought "This is a film that would probably be best experienced in IMAX..."

I personally think NF f$%ked up not giving it a wider theatrical release, especially after all the money the Transformers movies made...

FWIW, NYT Review:

That's kind of a half assed review. "This Michael Bay movie is similar to every other Michael Bay movie."

Is this thing more Bad Boys (which was a solidly entertaining action / popcorn flick) or more Transformers 5 (2 hours of action sequences with virtually nothing tying those sequences together)?

Regardless, I'll probably watch it. Not because it's going to be good. But because it's there. *sigh*

I turned it off. Doesn’t quite get into the “so bad it’s good” game. It’s just really bad...

Colonia - pretty interesting take on the Chilean disappeared, Jim Jones style.

Gonna have to digest this a bit .......

6 Underground = (Deadpool+Miami Vice+Fast & Furier + Mission Impossibly) x WTF?!

The opening car chase was pure comic book. The boat fight finale managed to top it!

Don't bother.

That article is as though it were written by an adolescent junior-higher who stole his father’s iPad and went to write an article, but just before that he drank 15 Red Bulls. It’s wild, it’s immature, it’s artless.

A junior-high student desperately grasping at some deeper meaning because he didn't do his homework and started writing it at 11pm the night before it was due.

“Witcher” is a strange one... it starts out really shitty, as in bad dialog, bad acting, just a wtf vibe all around. Like a shitty romance novel blended with an 80’s sword-and-sorcery B-movie, directed by a GOT intern.

We stuck it out for episode 2, mainly out of boredom; it got better. 5 episodes in, and I’m actually enjoying it. Some moments of hilarity, plenty of nudity, some shitty romance crap, lots of violence, and all of it over-the-top. Not a masterpiece by any means, but worth a watch.

[Elkhound Odin]

Good to know. I had a hard time watching the first two eps and stopped there. Superman is a really sucky actor

'Bout to start the last episode, seems like a typical SciFi channel offering i.e. good enough to watch when. you're caught up on all the better shows, but lacking in other redeeming qualities.

[Game Over]

After Life is good.

Don’t Fuck with Cats.....

Crazy.

[mooseknuckles]

^Right! Crazy shit.

Based on rec from teenage daughters...lol...I just finished a “Stranger Things” binge......Have to admit, I did like it, was worth the binge...especially the 80’s setting....music, mall, etc...lol

The Irishman was outstanding, all three and a half hours of it.

The Two Popes was enjoyable.

Two great actors obviously enjoying their roles playing off each other.

A little too reverential or maybe just careful of criticism of the church. Ratzinger's confession being silenced out was a pity.

But definitely worth a watch.

I have been enjoying “The Witcher” lately. It seems to be a cross between the Game of Thrones and The Last Kingdom. Plenty of magic, witches, monsters, kings and queens, dragons, Sword play and ass kicking

[Elkhound Odin]

The Witcher certainly got better towards the end. It wasn't until near the end I realized the different storylines were not linear. I was a bit confused midway when some people who died at the beginning, were alive.
- I found Yennifer's constant blame of others for her sterilization annoying since she willing under went the procedure.
- who knew hunchbacks could be so fetching
- The witchy end battle was really well done. I see where most of the budget went.
- Superman is really a bad actor.

[AK47bp]

Just finished episode 3 of Witcher. Yennifer’s breasts were simply amazing.

What do you get when you combine moon Nazis, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Steve Jobs religious cult, janky spaceships, Hitler riding a T-rex, and the need to save the last of humanity?

Iron Sky: The coming race.

Totally stupid, shut you brain off, sci-fi amusement. And, there are plans for more in the works!
