DeNiro hasn't made a decent movie in decades so I'm trying not to get too excited about this one..

He seems to take any oul guff tbh.
Although he was in Silver linings playbook which was excellent (2012), and the wizard of lies (2017) was good although that was a TV movie.

Maybe so but Scorcese hasn't made a bad film yet that I'm aware of. Maybe some of his 90's output wasn't amazing I suppose.

Umbrella Academy has been great so far. It's the first show in a while that is forcing me to turn off the next episode so that I can go to bed

El Duda · 26-02-2019 10:50AM

Silver Linings proves that RDN still has it

I'm enjoying this but I have no idea why, all the character relationships feel super stiff and forced. Which may be the point?

Ariadne · 26-02-2019 11:59AM

I just finished watching Paula. It's pretty haunting and disturbing, very gripping. I definitely enjoyed it.

Some of this gets explained.

Diego wants to be Number One and is always trying to do things ahead of One.
Seven is always forced away
Five thinks he's too smart for the rest of them
One is the only one that stayed and has issue with the others over this.

I'm only up to Ep 5 I think, so this is what I've picked up on so far.

kunst nugget · 26-02-2019 02:00PM

The kid playing Five in Umbrella Academy is just brilliant. Really enjoying the show - watching the last in the series tonight.

B_ecke_r · 26-02-2019 02:08PM

anyone who has trouble sleeping - Bait

possibly the worst film ever made.

Yeah Goodfellas, Cape Fear and Casino were shít.

Can't wait for this. The boys will have their A Game. First time Scorsese has directed Pacino!

Some being the operative word, I was thinking more of Kundun and Bringing out the Dead. Age of Innocence didn't do it for me either. I wouldn't rank Cape Fear as amazing either tbh :pac:

Fantastic and unsettling horror that everyone needs to see..

Wow just wow. Just watched Get Out. It's neither fantastic nor unsettling. It's uadulterated predictable clichéd drivel which is riddled with inconsistencies. There's probably a decent idea somewhere in it but it is overshadowed by the woefully executed end product.

Man Vs ManUre · 26-02-2019 05:38PM

Get Out is fantastic.
Another really great intelligent horror (tho it’s not too scary) film from a few years earlier is “The cabin in the woods”. And “It follows” from a bit more recent was very good too.
Give me a film like this any night before the insufferably long, tedious and utterly pointless “Roma”.

Yes. Mental and totally unbelievable but I enjoyed it.

It Follows was Excellent, The Babadook was another really good horror that came out around the same time.

Agreed.

The character

is for long periods an obnoxious, arrogant assh*le

but the actor plays him brilliantly. Also the character ark

kind of redeems the character near the end when it’s clear he really is trying to do the right thing

There’s so much to love about this show not least the sadisticly lovable

hazel

. Even when he’s

killing

people I was always rooting for him to make it

till the end

.

Not many shows see that enjoyable from multiple angles. There were some small gripes that I don’t care to discuss because they enjoyment of the show trumped everything else. Great show for couples to watch together , both my wife and I couldn’t wait to watch each show.

I thought it was ok but completely overrated.

JohnCreedon81 · 26-02-2019 08:49PM

Just finished Master of None, loved it. Gutted it seems it’s finished due to the absolutely bullish!t #meToo claim against Aziz Ansari.

I thought Kundun was a great movie aswell. I'd say you'd get way more people disagreeing than agreeing with you in saying the 90's was a poor decade for Scorsese.

cozar · 26-02-2019 10:03PM

Suburra s2 is equally as good as Gomorrah. Both the same theme drug wars in naples and Rome Maybe Gomorrah is a more true representation (writer is in witness protection) ,
Paddleton is so sad it will stick with you for a long time very well acted.
It’s always sunny best ever keep going back to watch it again and again always makes me laugh.

It Follows and Get Out were great but I could not understand the love for Babadook.

I found it boring as Fook.

Man Vs ManUre · 27-02-2019 07:58AM

Agreed. Babadook didn’t do it for me, couldn’t even finish it. From what I remember it was too dull and bleak, and found the young Kid very annoying.
What do people think about “The Cabin in the woods”?? Now that was a great film. Funny, smart, twisty and modern.

peteeeed · 27-02-2019 08:29AM

I Feel Pretty

I think it will be back, Aziz is back on the comedy circuit now and the first 2 seasons were not removed from Netflix.
I think that's a good sign.
