gamer.tv Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 We've signed up for the 7 day free trial for NOW TV so going through the movies on there. The Meg C+ Better than expected and I do love a good bit of monster movie fun. Split C+ I actually really enjoy the Shyamalan superhero universe and this was enjoyable, with an overall shit ending. Aladdin B- Some good clean Disney fun, not the best thing I've ever seen (or from Disney in general) but Will Smith was great, the casting was good and it all came together nicely (except I like my Jafar's a little bit more sleazy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5timechamp Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hobbs & Shaw - not as bad as i thought.. very enjoyable with clearly communicated set pieces. This film nails the antagonistic “buddy” film in ways that something like Bad Boys 2 failed at... plus Idris Elba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I finished the first two seasons of Ozark recently. Jeez, I wish I’d watched this show sooner. I can’t believe I let it set in my watch list for so long. It’s one of my new favorites. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Apollo 11 A What a great documentary, film, remaster...piece of media. It's one of those films, now that a lot of people are self-isolating with their families should watch to gain an insight into an incredibly important (and at times, quite moving) part of human history.

SimpleG Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Nightmare On Elm Street 2 : Freddys Revenge Not a big fan of slasher horror films in general but I wanted to re watch this one due to a horror doc that just came out recently. I was very un aware that this film has some very serious gay subtext, when I first saw this film I was 11 or 12 and it just went over my head. Going into the film knowing this and sure enough it does , I would argue it goes almost past subtext and goes right it your face with it. Honestly that it does it very well for the time without going stereotypical and ham fisted, the gay themes do a lot to add to the film and I enjoyed the film more knowing all this. Normally I would give an X/10 rating but I am gonna skip it this time and just say watch it if your interested . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Okay, not really a rating but due to boredom I've been trying to catch up on some TV shows I missed over the non-TV-watching-years of my 20s especially, so I started watching 30 Rock and Parks And Recreation. I've given both of them a few episodes so far and I just...don't get it...at all. 30 Rock is so unfunny, even Tracy Morgan only has approximately one funny moment per episode. Parks And Recreation feels like an aggressively mediocre rehash of The Office without any chemistry so far. 30 Rock I've stopped watching completely and Parks has been relegated to playing in the background while I cook but I think I'm good there as well. It has some okay jokes here and there but even those are more like weak retreads of The Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Parks and Rec has a pretty bad first season. It gets a lot better in season 2, especially towards the end of the season when Rob Lowe and Adam Scott come in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Bojack Horseman: All the series So I started watching this about two and a half weeks ago (and have run through the whole of it). I'll start with I really didn't want to like the programme in the slightest. I really didn't like the character design, the animation or the first few episodes. However, as soon as it hit it's stride...fuck me it's good. There were some parts where I feel it loses sight of the 'comedy' and goes a bit too far down a path that's neither that interesting or engaging, but so many times it decides to walk a difficult line and comes out fantastically. I will happily put this up there with other top-tier animations (Rick & Morty, South Park, The Simpson's, Archer) and look forward to revisiting this with my Wife (who due to my endless enthusiasm, refused to watch it with me). A+ stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't guarantee that you'll like it, but when I rewatched the series a few months ago, I skipped season 1 entirely. I watched it as it first aired and gave up after a few episodes, but later I randomly caught a season 3 episode and almost couldn't believe it was the same show.

This is blowing my mind Mr. Great. Yeah, of course I do. A lot of shows have rough first seasons (Angel, Girls, Doctor Who, just to name a few) but then there are multiple seasons of excellence that follow. Why miss out on all that goodness just because it took the writers a bit to find the show they wanted to make? I'm a completionist though - I believe in finishing what you start and I like having all the canonical information. I do realize not everyone is like me but I do try to nudge people in this direction as it creates a more informed view of the work you are watching. I have dropped a few shows in my lifetime (Weeds, Glee, Modern Family, Family Guy, one or two others) but it's very rare. I'm the same with everything in my life. It's why I don't have a videogame or TV backlog (backlog meaning stuff I've started but not finished - of course I have a ton of things I want to try that I haven't yet at all), for instance.

Yeah - after the end of season 3 when the initial premise of the show "ends", I tried season 4 and quickly just . . . lost complete interest. I tried, but I just couldn't do it. The main character had become too much of a caricature of herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is blowing my mind Mr. Great. Lets stop pretending that there are a lot of shows with several bad seasons and then good ones. It’s usually 1-2 seasons tops, and it doesn’t apply to most shows. I would also recommend just going through it until you get to the “good part”. Which, for me, I thought the show was good season 2 and on and then the last season was kinda meh.

Dodger Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Started a Marvel movie marathon while on lockdown so watching one of the Marvel movies a day Iron Man 8/10, still holds up for the most part Iron Man 2, 7/10. I don't know why but I didn't hate it when I saw it again like I did years ago. Thor 6/10. My least favorite of the 3 I've watched so far, just found most of it boring.

Most good shows that have rough starts usually only take one season, maybe two max to get good if they're going to get good. I don't think I've seen a show that doesn't find its footing by the start of season 3 (if the show was ever going to). Of course some are strong out of the gate, but some take some time is all.

I kind of kept watching an episode or two of each season just to see how outlandish idiotic the next premise would get and it seriously felt like the writers were boycotting their own show and coming up with the worst shit possible and having a laugh. I'm pretty sure she had the Mexican druglord's baby, then her son Shane literally turned out to be a serial killer, then the show somehow went to Amsterdam I think because they were hiding out...it's amazingly stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Saw a Buzzfeed post about it, so I decided to watch Ever After again for the first time in probably a decade or more. Loved this movie when it came out and watched it many times during middle school and high school. It holds up well. I like the more feminist take on the Cinderella story. Plus, I really liked Drew Barrymore back then. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
