  • Re: TV: Did you make Barry's List?

    Eh I got past that halfway through the movie. The story was lame and the ending was legit one of the worst I have seen in a long time. It wasnt a 'bad" film but it wasnt particularly great either.

      Same here. Did a very good job with the tenseness.

          Thisis how I felt about it. Meh. Not bad, not great.

          I might have been in the wrong mood. I was picking the thing apart as I was watching. "Oh, so it gets you through a camera feed but not through the holes in a blanket?"

            A Quiet Place was a good concept destroyed by two of the worst actors this side of Dump's mistresses. The writer supposedly traded having his story dragged through sewage by the morons in exchange for full creative control on his next film, so I have hopes there.

            Both AQP and BB used negative sensory input to good effect. They are definitely both art house movies -- comic book movie guy isn't going to like them because no splosions or sophomoric male machismo. I'm sure it didn't help bring in the pea brains for both movies to be built around strong female lead characters. (BB in particular must make Dumpies very nervous.)

              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                            So, no one shoot me for this suggestion, but I watched The Last Hangover on Netflix last evening. I really enjoyed it. My wife, not so much, but I'm not sure she has a sense of humor.

                            It's only about 45 minutes long. It's subtitled, and the subtitles are fast because the dialogue is fast, so you have to be ready.

                            It's a spoof of The Hangover, set in the context of The Last Supper. The apostles wake up the morning after partying at the Last Supper and Jesus is missing. You need to have a pretty good working knowledge of both The Hangover and the Gospel account of Jesus Last Supper with the apostles. But if you have even a decent working knowledge, there are a lot of pretty good jokes.

                            But, it's not going to be for everyone, so be forewarned.

                            Watched this tonight....solid, until the ending, then it was HOLY CRAP HILARITY! I was in tears I was laughing so hard in the last 5 minutes or so.

                              True Detective Season 3.

                              Very complex. 3 timelines going at once. Seems to be designed to hide the truth till then end. You also don't know which timeline the truth will come out, although based on last night it's probably not the oldest timeline.

                                I haven't seen any of TD. I've heard S1 was great and S2 was awful. Would you agree (without spoilers, please)?
