  1. Preacher season 3

     

    I don't recall the last time I've seen a show revel in and fully embrace its weirdness to such a degree, it is glorious. I feel the comics told the Angelville story a bit better but the show version was still solid. Herr Starr remains the best page to screen adaptation on any character I have ever seen with the only possible exception of JK Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, in fact all the grail stuff was dead on from the comic.

     

    9/10

     

     

     

    Shameless Season 3, 4 and 5

     

    I forgot to review these as I was watching so what happened in what season is blurring together.

     

    Fiona and Lip are two of the most well developed characters on television. Ian and Mickey's relationship feels extremely real. Kevin and V are great together but the whole thing with getting V's mom pregnant went on way to long.

     

    I'm glad that Sheila is finally gone, she was really getting on my nerves too bad she is essentially replaced with the equally annoying Sammi. Not sure I like the humanizing of Frank that is going on, he was such a piece of shit in the first couple of seasons that I am having a really hard time buying any kind of redemption arc for him.

    I read through most of these and don't see any reason why they should be confidential, they should have been available for full public review. I also don't see anything that looks offensive either, there is some anti-affirmative action and colorblind talk but that doesn't seem unexpected from a republican originalist nominee for the SC. 

     

    I am definitely no lawyer so I could certainly be missing something

  3. The Hunt for the Red October

     

    I think this is the last of the great cold war era movies that was actually filmed during that era.  This is a fantastic military thriller in any year. One of maybe 3 times that Sean Connery actually gave a shit about his performance and him at his maximum silver fox level and it is weird to see Alec Baldwin not as a fat drunk.

     

    Fully gimbaled sets combined with really good model effects make for some great scenes, the climax is top notch. 

     

    9/10

     

    PS. Also worth mentioning is john mctiernan's 3 movie run of Predator, Die Hard and Hunt for the red october, fuck me that is a good trifecta 

     

    PSS. someone give someone that knows what they are doing the money to make red storm rising properly
