Do amazon prime shows go in this thread too?

New Ms. Maisel not coming until December but i watched teh first two episodes of "the boys" last night - worth a watch.

Superheroes are big brands and get away with collateral damage, "the boys" are a group who are trying to fight back against them. I enjoyed it.

There are a couple of prime threads

Looks like there could be 5 seasons of Mindhunter (unconfirmed but still....) here's hoping!!

SoundsRight

Overhyped, i found. Bit of the zeitgeist about it.

Finished Mindhunter Season 2 tonight, great viewing. Well worth a watch.

Was great. I hope BTK is the main case next season. A truly terrifying man in his banality considering what he did. So many killers to chose from though. Zodiac would be interesting too.

I have a feeling they'll keep with the btk intros till the final season, as he wasn't caught till 2005. They're at 1981 at the end of s2

It defies traditional descriptions of ‘good’ and ‘bad’, in both a positive and negative sense :pac:

So bad then.

The Flatliners remake is absolutely bollocks - avoid, avoid, avoid.

Mother! is, as johnny says, difficult to classify as just good/bad.

One way of looking at it is as an exaggerated depiction of what it's like being an introvert living in American society.

It's one of those films where it's not necessarily about a linear plot so much as it is trying to convey the experience and emotional state of the protagonist, and this it does very well. But, Aronofsky being Aronofsky, you may well get to the very end and say "well that ending is a whole load of pish".

It's definitely worth watching once, I'd say. Preferably on as big a screen and as good a sound system as you can manage.

mother! is excellent, and something you'll never forget experiencing. Any piece of art that can do that is noteworthy to say the least.

I did some googling on what it was all actually about afterwards and enjoyed that aspect of it too.

I tried to watch it and gave up after 30 minutes, I can't understand how such films get made with considerable money involved. Crap acting, crap script, crap directing.

I can't understand how people can watch films without reviews- or sometimes, despite them :

Many a piece of art I have forgotten seconds after seeing it! Are we talking Guernica or one of those untitled blank canvases that just insult our intelligence?

Guernica is probably a pretty decent analogy actually. It looks like what its supposed to be, but represents it in really interesting and sometimes challenging way.

Look, just watch it! Its excellent!

And read up a bit on it afterwards. It will deepen your appreciation of what you've just watched.

I looked up the Masters of the Universe ratings on RT the last day and they're bad. But I really enjoyed that film.


On another note The Netflix Cowboy Bebop live action series has added Elena Satine to the cast. The cast so far is:
John Cho as Spike
Mustafa Shakir as Jet Black
Daniella Pineda as Faye Valentine
Alex Hassell as Vicious
Elena Satine as Julia

Sometimes I'll sit down and watch something out of curiosity without - gasp - looking up reviews on my phone. I know, I know...

Started watching Neon Genesis Evangelion tonight, 4 episodes in and it's pretty great. Suspect I may want to yell at Shinji after a while given some of the "GET IN THE F###ING ROBOT" jokes and memes I've seen around.

Also - I skipped The Bad Batch when it first dropped because the initial reviews were dodgy, but recently realised it's by Ana Lily Amirpour, whose A Girl Walks Home At Night I really liked. That being the case is it worth a look?

Also also - 4 seasons of Teen Titans Go! are now on Netflix. Some of the finest stupid slapstick whimsy going, IMO, and some great (very, very silly) musical numbers littered throughout. The episode about mortgages (yes, really) remains a highlight.

I don't think Zodiac would work. Wrong decade, and the fact he was never caught.
