Movies/TV worth watching (or at least discussing)

Saw Antman yesterday. I thought it was pretty good and enjoyable. Definitely a setup movie.

I admire a film that knows what it wants to be and doesn’t try to be more.

While I will be patiently waiting for this one from my couch, I'm not surprised that it is having the positive reception. Elizabeth Banks has a great track record, especially when it comes to movies that nobody expects to succeed. Pitch Perfect, anyone?
That being said, I don't think we'll be seeing her produce Cocaine Bear 3. (Or two.)

Can't wait to see what the box office is from CB. I'm getting a Snakes On a Plane feeling!

Just announced - the upcoming fourth season of Succession will be the last.

Smart move.

Smart move.

"Strong" move.

This is hysterical: https://twitter.com/MuseZack/status/1628997349275205632

The AP wrote a blisteringly negative review of Cocaine Bear that contained this sentence, which makes it sound...awesome? "Banks and screenwriter Jimmy Warden have created a mashup of Quentin Tarantino bloodfests, Sam Raimi’s scare tactics and the Coen brothers’ absurdity. "

Phil Lord, the producer of Cocaine Bear (and the guy behind The Lego Movie, Spiderverse, 21 Jump Street, and several other hits) responded to this by saying: "We are putting this on the poster."

The first trailer has dropped for NEON's How to Blow Up a Pipeline... which drew raves at TIFF and is supposed to be an incredible thrill ride with amazing characters/performances.

Andor isn't new. Was new in the fall. I greatly enjoyed it. The Mandolorian was mostly just setting the stage of what's to come, wasn't bad, but nothing groundbreaking IMO

I finally got around to watching Glow last night. I'm sorry that I waited so long, but silver lining is that I have all the seasons to watch now.
I shouldn't have started last night at 10pm. Making myself finally turn it off and going to bed at 2am didn't make for a joyful morning.
Totally bingeable.

I mean, it is easily the best Star Wars thing we have had since Cassian Andor died while holding Jyn Erso in his arms on Scarif. An outstanding series that draws you in and keeps you wanting more. If you have not seen it, do yourself a favor and watch. I don't even think you need to be a Star Wars fans to appreciate it (though it helps).

Agreed, Andor is the best and least Star Warsy. I just don’t get Mandalorian- made it through 2-3 episodes and gave up because it was so childish. My 14 yo son who loves Star Wars didn’t like it at all but Andor was a different story.

To quote a well known tv personality* from my youth:

*Is that personality or canineality?

[CameronBornAndBred]

65 just looks terrible. Like so bad that even JP at it's worst looks great.
You'd think they'd have thunk of that.
"Let's make a bad dinosaur movie."
"Jurassic Park has already done that, lots."

"Well, then. Challenge accepted."

I needed to test out some A/V tech tonight, and just for the hell of it I pulled up Mando Season 1, Ep 1 to do so. (Was in the mood to "feel" the sound of good audio)

All over again, I'm enraptured. I don't know what y'all are eating for breakfast in your house, your son and you, but it's spoiled.

You wouldn't be into Andor if The Mandalorian hadn't been produced, and what was produced in those first "2-3 episodes" was top notch.
And happily looking back tonight, it's still top notch.

Swap your waffles for omelettes this weekend.

Maybe different people just like different things? I agree the first two seasons of Mandalorian were great, but it isn't completely unfathomable that it wouldn't be for everyone.
