Season 2 is a very, very slow burn barely on the simmer

Then Episode 6 'Fishes' gets you right between the eyes

Then it's on like Donkey Kong until the finish

Loved it

Agreed…Bear season 2 starts slow…but it is getting really good.

**Danno** · 07-12-2023, 09:39 AM

Just finished S2 of the Bear. Highlight for me was definitely "Forks", ep7. The finale was so unsatisfying and wrenching.

CRIMES OF THE FUTURE
While by no means up there with the cream of David Cronenberg’s oeuvre, his latest endeavor is still heads and tails more interesting, perplexing, and thought provoking than 90% of the films released over the past few years. Perhaps not as provocative or gory and twisted as the trailer suggests, there is still enough detached dystopian flair and slow burning angst to keep one continually engaged.
The story borrows some elements and nuances from eXistenZ, though where that film loosely tackled virtual reality, here the theme seems to be on pollution.
There are a few plot holes that will leave you scratching your head at the end and I am not sure if their vagueness is meant to elicit discussion or just create a sense of mystery and dread.
At any rate, Viggo Mortensen gives a riveting and off-kilter performance, skulking around the screen like a ninja clad Quasimodo, Kristen Stewart is wonderfully over-the-top as a mousey bureaucratic office drone, and Lea Seydoux is beguiling as a performance artist surgeon.

Visually interesting and entertaining

**MontuckyFried** · 07-31-2023, 09:15 AM

Watched the first 2 Skyline movies over the weekend. Skyline, which is on Hulu, and its sequel, "Beyond Skyline" which is on Netflix. I have yet to see the 3rd installment but it's not on any streaming service I currently have.

I saw Skyline when it first came out and remember it being pretty much a B-movie with shockingly great CGI for a film of its meager budget. Revisiting it, yup. That still feels like what it is. I remember loving the end though, and sure enough, whatever one may think of the majority of the movie, the last 10 minutes or so kicks you in the balls with one of THE best conclusions to a movie I've seen. Almost makes up for the rest of it. Even still, I had a great time with the movie through the lens of watching it as if its pretty much your standard zombie survival horror flick, just with aliens instead. If you haven't seen it before, but like sci-fi with a touch of schlock, then you owe it to yourself to watch this one. It's low-rated on IMDB, but I think it deserved a point or two higher. . The aliens are definitely one of the most genuinely terrifying versions conceived due to their methods of invasion. I had fun, even if it can drag at times. Now on to the Netflix section for my review of the sequel... See: https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...82#post6900782

Dune is on Hulu, if anyone is looking to watch it.

SMOKING CAUSES COUGHING
Quentin Dupieux’s latest cinematic offering is a bizarrely brilliant mix of Power Rangers, Danger 5, and twisted campfire tales.
It’s absurd, hilarious, and grossly entertaining.

YES!!! Glad to hear the positive review. This one's been high on my list of things to watch. Just been waiting for some solo movie viewing time to get around to it. Haha.

**MontuckyFried** · 09-06-2023, 04:30 PM

Well this one looks promising!!! Will definitely watch it when released. I just wish it was getting a theatrical release because it honestly looks like it may deserve one. Check out the trailer:

**dookeyXXX** · 09-10-2023, 06:09 PM

OFFICIAL COMPETITION
If you enjoy the films of Pedro Almodovar and Fernando Leon de Aranoa, then you will dig this.
Tour de force performances from Penelope Cruz, Antonio Banderas, and Oscar Martinez, combined with a sharp and witty screenplay by directors Gaston Duprat and Mariano Cohn, along with Andres Duprat make for a wonderfully biting satire of the movie business.

Holy crap. Watch this one stat! It's Signs meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets A24 productions. 1st act is truly frightening, then 2nd act has you like woah, then the finale has you totally mesmerized. WELL worth the watch. Please give this one a proper review, Dookey. I had a great time with this one tonight. 2 thumbs up.

And the main actress! What a performance!!!

If you’re still not watching Reservation Dogs, you need to. This last season has had some incredible episodes. Deer Lady was discussed up thread and this past week’s episode with Elora and her dad was also great. Surprised to see Ethan Hawke but damn did he bring it. Still amazed that the actress playing Elora wrote and directed that episode. Lots of talented kids on the show. Only one more episode to go before the end.

**D-navf5q4p** · 10-25-2023, 06:58 PM

Only Murders in the Building has been solid background tv

**VTskibum** · 10-27-2023, 07:55 PM

^^ meh, I loathe musicals to a level of vitriol I can barely describe! I’m in S3 ep 3 and I’m about to quit, my wife is annoyed.

any fans of over the garden wall here?

it's on Hulu and it is my absolute favorite Halloween themed thing ever

it's a cartoon marketed towards ~10-14 year olds, and as someone who generally dislikes/does not watch any cartoons, it is absolutely magical. 10 or so 10 minute episodes, so it watches like a movie, and it is extremely sweet and funny and scary. and it's a musical.

absolute must watch. kid appropriate, grown up approved.

Giving this the +1 co-sign.
I partook of the 30-day Hulu free trial last summer just so I could watch this.

RIYL
Adventure Time

Oh yeah, here’s the short film (which is also the pilot for the series) that inspired the series:

**Lee Murian** · 10-30-2023, 06:29 AM

I know it's been discussed above, but I'm just now watching the Bear. Episodes 7,8,9 are so good, as crazy as Forks is, I think e8 is my favorite, the fire suppression test scene as they panned across the crew as the clock ticked down. Absolutely love the character development, dialogue, and tight shots. I'm going to start over from the beginning.

Meh. The ending was a bit disappointing.

And she was better in Book Smart.

Well, thanks for finding my reviews read worthy.

Sadly, I don’t subscribe to Hulu anymore, so it might be awhile before I get around to watching this flick.
