What are you watching?

Kaiju 8 was fun, from what I remember.

Demon Slayer is indeed terrible, it’s popularity mystifies me.

Apothecary Diaries is OK, but surprisingly hard for me to follow without subtitles.

Death Note started so well but couldn’t keep it up…

Yeah, that can happen as you get older.

I’m re watching


The comic timing on this show is fantastic. Who knew that Timothy Oliphant could be funny (this is the second show he starred in that should never have been cancelled and no the movie did not make a satisfactory ending for Deadwood). But Liv Hewson and Skyler Gisondo (the new Jimmy Olsen, he better have a bow tie) really stand out as funny.

Yes, I got sucked back into watching Deadwood yet again. It is as if I hope that this time there will be a worthy ending to this great show.

We watched this last night, and I can recommend it as it’s a blast.

That looks really good!

Just watched “Argyle,” which was surprisingly good.

Not great, and you have to accept a very Bond-esque level of silliness, but a couple of the twists I legit didn’t see coming.

Didn’t quite nail the landing. A bit too over-the-top, and one too many deus ex machina, but again, it’s a Bond film. Pretty gosh darn good.

We saw that in the theater and really enjoyed it as well. Definitely deserved to do better at the box office than it did. The over-the-top bits were just part of its charm!

Seeing that Denis Villeneuve is going to direct the next Bond film definitely raised an eyebrow.

Oh, are they getting Roger Moore back?

Forgot this was coming:

Feels a bit “Martian 2.0” but then maybe the book had those vibes as well? It’s been a while.

Also, spoilers if you’ve not read the book.

I mean, they were always going to spoil it during the trailer. That’s why I’m banning my family from seeing it!

Loved the book, looking forward to the film!

What’s the bet they show the trailer just before the film?

I’ve literally had a trailer for the film I’m about to watch played before that film.

Or to be more precise, a trailer for an improved version of that film, coming to that same theatre soon! (Which I felt was adding insult to injury.)

I once was shown a trailer for a movie that we had gone to see, because their phone system(1) said it was playing. It wasn’t, it had come and gone. The movie we saw instead

I remember seeing an advert for a toy of the Disney 90s animated Beauty and the Beast ahead of the movie (when it was first in cinemas, 1992 in the UK?).

It said “Can X do the Y thing before Z happens?”, thus giving away the whooooole plot 2 minutes before the movie started :slight_smile:

Watching Sara - Woman in the shadows an Italian spy/police thriller on Netflix. I love any story that has “they thought this person as a civilian but actually she’s a retired spy and now she’s pissed”.

Very slow pace, almost like a Scandi noir, love it.

I really, really must make a note to myself not to watch Guy Ritchie films.

But Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is cool (and Snatch)
