Re: Movies / TV Shows
Shogun was the best TV show in the past year, hands down.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
I confess that I had never watched No Country for Old Men before, but Saturday night I watched it with my son. It was very good. I shouldn't be surprised, but it was good. I don't necessarily like shows that leave things unanswered, but I was fine with it's abrupt "I'm getting too old for this sh!t" ending. Personally, I don't know if I need to watch it again though.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
I watched it when it originally came out and then had a desire to watch it again earlier this year. I enjoyed the second viewing just as much as I had forgotten a lot of the details. My oldest son (the screenwriter among other things) watched it recently for the first time and loved it.In2ition wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 7:13 amI confess that I had never watched No Country for Old Men before, but Saturday night I watched it with my son.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
That's cool that you watched it, In2. I really appreciate how quiet and calm it's willing to be. Almost no music, whole scenes with very little or no dialogue, etc. Some scenes are just etched into my brain, like the scene with Anton Chigurh at the gas station demanding that the scared clerk call his coin, or the scene at night when Llwelyn Moss is trying to give water to the dying Mexican drug dealer and looks up the hill and sees the lights of the other car that has arrived to pursue him. I love that they are willing to just kill off the "main" character off camera, completely surprising the viewer. I love the presence of Tommy Lee Jones throughout the movie, one step behind the killer and the pursued, but a very savvy cop and investigator all the same. I love the performance by Javier Bardem as Chigurh, one of the most haunting villains I can remember. And I love that the bad guy mostly just gets away in the end, despite some comeuppance. The movie steadfastly refuses to fit into the box most movies fit into, and somehow it's all the more satisfying for it. Just a lovely film.In2ition wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 7:13 amI confess that I had never watched No Country for Old Men before, but Saturday night I watched it with my son. It was very good.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
I just finished The Americans series. It was OK, not great, but not terrible either.
In an attempt to find something decent to watch, I started watching Slow Horses. So far, I'm 2 episodes into it and it's intriguing. I'm not hooked so far, and I'm wondering if anyone else has watched it and think it's worth my time?

Another show that was good was Bad Monkey on appletv…. Vince Vaughn brings his usual stuff to it.
Re: Movies / TV Shows
100%…. Great show and love it. Gary Olldmans character cracks me up how he just lets lose no matter who’s there lol. I’m waiting for the new season to be out to fully watch it.In2ition wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2024 7:37 amI just finished The Americans series. It was OK, not great, but not terrible either.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
Huh, I absolutely loved The Americans. Slow Horses took a little time for me to warm up to it but I grew to love it. Can't wait to start the next season. Currently catching up on Bad Monkey and The Old Man S2 first.In2ition wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2024 7:37 amI just finished The Americans series. It was OK, not great, but not terrible either.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
I've watched 2 episodes so far of Shogun with my wife, and we like it a lot. Going to keep going through that one. I may check out Slow Horses after; heard good things about it.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
Slow Horses has been great. Wife and I have burned through the first 3 seasons very quickly. We use subtitles since we watch when our daughter is asleep and the accents and language are very British. Just the terms, slang, etc.,
Terrific show.

Did you get beyond the first 2 episodes? Did it change your view at all yet?In2ition wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2024 7:37 amI just finished The Americans series. It was OK, not great, but not terrible either.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
Yes, I finished the first season last night. I enjoyed the first season and looking forward to watching the second. My wife didn't like it from the first episode and she just stopped watching it. She didn't like how they treated the group like crap, and really couldn't get over it, lol.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 1:31 pmDid you get beyond the first 2 episodes?

Re: Movies / TV Shows
That's too bad as I watched the first half of the first episode and couldn't get into it and then came back months later and binged the whole thing up to the current season. Love it now.In2ition wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 1:56 pmYes, I finished the first season last night. I enjoyed the first season and looking forward to watching the second.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
I started watching Cross, and I have to say that it's been pretty good. Before that, I watched the 3rd season of the Lincoln Lawyer.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
I started Disclaimer and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The first episode of Disclaimer almost lost my interest but it picked up after that and now I'm in until the end. It's only 7 episode and I've watch 3 now. Dixon is pretty good and I've heard good things which is what got me to watch it after getting Walking Deaded out from the original series and Fear. Will keep watching and they are in the middle (I think) of S2.

Never heard of it (Cross). Give me a clue of what it's about and what service it's on.

Alex Cross, a decorated D.C. homicide detective and forensic psychologist faces a sadistic serial killer; he and his partner, John Sampson track this killer and a threat from Cross' past appears with ill intent. It's on Amazon.
