Movies/TV worth watching (or at least discussing)

I mean, Emma was great in both her recent Yorgos Lanthimos films, The Favourite (which answered the enduring question, "what if the Queen was a lesbian who liked to **ck) and Poor Things (which answered the enduring question, "what if Frankenstein was a female hottie who liked to **ck").

I also thought she was easily the best thing in Cruella.
 
Black Dove was pretty good....had to turn on the subtitles for some of the accents lol

also, just started Alex Cross.......looks good so far...
I enjoyed Black Doves, but wouldn't quite call it good. The tone was sort of all over the place. It was sometimes very dark and very intense. Sometimes laugh out loud funny. Sometimes the action felt down to earth and sometimes it was more absurd. I thought the main actors were enjoyable and liked the relationship between the leads.

I believe they have already announced there will be a second season and I expect it might be more consistent. I will look forward to it.

Someone online suggested a spin-off with the two young women who were the assassin team. I'd watch that.
 
I kept on reading raves about Somebody, Somewhere on MAX. I've watched the first two seasons and a bit of season three and I don't really get the hype. It is well-acted and has fun, quirky characters but not a lot happens and I am certainly getting frustrated at the main character just sorta drifting through life while feeling depressed that she is... well... just sorta drifting through life.

It isn't bad TV, but more "fine" than "great."

I couldn't disagree more. The characters are more relatable than I've ever seen on television - flawed, kind, trying. Most characters make a degree of progress over the course of the series. They are the sort of friends one would wish for.

I wonder if it really "hits" best for people who have lived in small towns?

update on alex Cross.........VERY good wrap up of season one.......which, i would base my desire to watch season 2.....

just FYI....i BAGGED on Walking Dead when they didn't kill neegun when they finally got him....

Haven't seen it, but this post makes me want to. Also I kinda want this thread to eventually devolve into a "Jason Evans minutes" discussion. That way every Evans on DBR can be over-analyzed.

Thought you would go for a Movie Strategy thread...you know, how a movie tells a story more than what the story is about. That way we don't devolve into another Evans Minutiae discussion.

Regarding Somebody, Somewhere, I am with Jason. I keep waiting for, I don't know, something, somehow. Maybe it is small town life.

I pretty much agree. I’ve enjoyed the show. I’ve watched most of the last season and I’ll watch the rest but it’s not a priority.
 
Just a PSA for Spectrum users. I got a pop up screen in the app today when I switched on the Apple TV. They are currently throwing in the ad supports tier of Max (HBO) for free. That’s now Disney+, Paramount+, Max and ACCX included in my plan and it’s not even their top one. Last year it was just Peacock for the year. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
 
This. Although other than my inner 14 year old adoring her in Superbad, I don’t think I have seen her in anything. Somehow I never saw la la land.
I rode an elevator with her and Andrew Garfield on Easter a number of years ago.

In person she was stunningly beautiful. Also reserved and quiet. Andrew was outgoing and friendly. Neither myself, my wife, or my brother bothered either one of them at all. We had a nice friendly conversation, and then we got off on the 14th floor.

I have to imagine that they found it refreshing that we treated them like regular people.

I’m jealous!
 
Anyone know how many seasons the original Dexter stays good? I’ve started season 3 (Lithgow is guest star) and so far, so good. But I’ve heard it drops off at some point. Inevitable, given they did 8 seasons of it!

I just looked up the show's episode guide to refresh my memory, and John Lithgow is Season 4. I started tapering off in Season 5, though some of the Season 6 episode descriptions sounded familiar. I don't think I got to Seasons 7 or 8. I was really into that show at the time it was first-run, but I don't miss it, and I haven't felt compelled to watch the continuation series or the current prequel series.
