📺Television Movie/tv thread

The wife and I have been re-watching on Netflix. Still holds up in many respects, but the first 3 seasons have too much filler. TV has changed a lot since the early 2000s; the best shows only have 8-10 episodes per season, not a full 24 like it used to be.

Swearengen is still my favorite character of all time.

Overall I think it holds up really well. Is there filler that can get old on a rewatch? Yes. Would I prefer that to these 6, 8, 10 season episodes? Fuck yes. What makes Lost hard to rewatch for me is the flashbacks (or later, flash forwards) that I FF through.

I watched most of 3 Body Problem. Decent show, entertaining, interesting spin on aliens, gets better as it goes along. And right when it really starts to get good, it's already at the end of the 8 episode series. Wait who knows how long for S2.

Beverly Hills Cop 4 was ok. Wasn't hilariously funny, but it was just a simple movie very similar to the 1st one. Better than I expected.

That's what I liked about it. I didn't expect it to be hilarious (though I didn't expect it to be as serious as it was), I did expect it to try too hard, which it didn't. Simple entertainment.

Re-watched the original Piranha lastnight. Still a decent flick... except for when the golden retriever gets eaten. Made me want to kill fish.

Looks good, but....is that Pedro playing a General?

 

[Gatorbreeze]

Legio IX Hispania. Probably.

 

[Evil gator]

Are they brothers?

 

[DocZaius]

I will watch it, but my expectations are low. Having a rap song in the trailer doesn't do it for me.

House of Dragons #4 was definitely less boring!

I just watched. About fucking time we got some good shit.

Spoiler

We all saw it coming, right? When Aemond is heading right towards both of them, we're all thinking....his chance to get rid of his petulant brother"

Better than actually watching the show. This episode was completely pointless. No need to watch anything other than him recapping it each week

 

[Evil gator]

Lol

WTF did I just watch

The best thing in that trailer is going back to Falcon with a CA theme. He has no super powers, just giving him a shield does nothing, he'd get his ass killed real quick. But if it takes most of the movie to get to that point, snoozer. He was barley shown, but I have a feeling Espisito (sp?) will steal the show even though he's basically the same character in every tv show and movie.

Harrison ford is pretty old but he seems much more coherent than Biden

Christopher Lee was remembering lines and making movies until he died at 93.
