Netflix "Watch Instantly"

I liked her in Bloodline

I guess Southland is next for me. I just finished up Alice in Borderlands. S1 was a little better than ok, S2 was barely ok, and S3 never even got close to ok. It was awful. Saving grace of S3 was they cut it back to only 6 episodes, so my suffering was somewhat limited. Can't in good conscience recommend anyone watch this.

What did you guys think of Altered Carbon s2? I loved s1, but have read in multiple places that you're better off not watching s2 it sucks so bad.

yup

still better than 90% of dramas.

but yeah, nothing you'll remember in 5 years

That was Lou Ferrigno Jr. as "Park the Shark" last night on The Pitt.

I watched the first five episodes of Sunny Nights on Hulu, it’s an Australian comedy crime drama with Will Forte. It’s pretty good. It sets up after the first episode and gets better as it goes.

I’m always happy to see Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden and they’re great together. That said, it’s not quite my favorite version of Forte. He’s a bit more grounded in this and I’d rather him be batshit. Fun show either way!

I was pretty excited for the Malcolm in the Middle reboot, but much less so after watching the first trailer. I'll still give it a shot though.

A Simple Plan

At first it was terrible. Then it looked like it might get better. A simple game plan with a found fortune in cash starts to go haywire in very promising ways. Soon goes totally crazy. Somebody gets a hole blown in'em the size of a basketball with a shotgun. No blood, just an outrageous hole. Funny. And it blows her about 30 feet across the room and out a window. Can you use an "LOL" for something like that?

Billy Bob Thornton plays an honest simpleton, and he's right in the middle of it. His brother Mr. Morality ends up showing some truer colors with some jacked up Machiavellian shyt worthy of Brutus. The simpleton starts to come unglued because he isn't smart and sophisticated enough to fake reality.

Bridget Fonda, the main reason I'm watching the movie to start with, is at home with infant, Mr. Morality's wife. She thought she was a goody-two-shoes too. Far from it.

Mixed up in the murderous scheme, Billy Bob says, "I feel evil, " but neither Mr. Morality or wife do. They be scheming their a$$ off. It seems heading for Mr. Morality offing his own brother, or maybe he, the simpleton brother, is going to kill himself. Feeling like that a bit. Staged suicide; that's the ticket: Kill the simpleton; he's not down fully with the scheme. It disturbs him.

Bridget to Mr. Morality: "Nobody would ever believe you would be capable of doing what you've done." We're good, we'll get away with it. Marriage trouble, a thousand lies between them. He's trying to turn himself in again, she's starting to look like the ultimate Mach.

Wow. Starting to feel like the flick Malice, where Nicole Kidman turned out to be the devil among devils. Shocker that this thing is really worth watching. Oh wow, this fukker from "The Office" shows up as some kind of phony FBI agent, or is he real? Too much foreshadowing that he is phony, I think, so he must be real.

Things are coming to a head. They all rendezvous out in the snow looking for the buried plane where the cash was originally found, then hidden again. Local police, Mr. Morality, alleged G-Man, the simpleton. They all have guns. Hell, the sheriff tells the simpleton to go back to his pickup truck and get his rifle, so he can fire in the air after they split up in the event he finds anything. Doodoodoodoo.

Renewed offing begins. Seems to calm down. Billy Bob just has to end up dead; I've foreseen it. Hmm. Not yet.

OMG, the bills are marked and Mr. Morality, the last man standing, is throwing them in the fireplace. Is she going to kill him?

Rated in the 80s and 90s (I had no idea), and I sure liked it. Could easily qualify as a cult classic, and a lot more.

in the series finale, Malcolm was supposed to be destined to become the President. If he's working some regular job, makes me shrug man.

louis theroux's manosphere is total ****.

He just comes off as a whiny boomer the whole time. He's not asking interesting question and when they go about the few conspiracy theories that arent conspiracy anymore, but truths he just goes full woke and denies them and looks at them like idiots.

guy is definitely washed. Made himself look ******ed while being surrounded by some of the biggest ******s of the modern world.

I was saying back in 2010 TWD was bad when people were hyping it up but tbh I am jealous of people who get to binge that show for the first time as well as GoT

You've clearly never really watched a Louis Theroux doc before and I'm sorry he made your favourite "Alpha" look stupid

Ya, looks pretty bad

I dunno, I did notice he rebuts them a bit more than he generally would (a brief "I strongly disagree"), rather than just listen to them dig their own hole. Perhaps he is taking into account that they are also making content of the conversation? Or is it an ideological shift in how to portray idiots generally, actively trying not to "platform" them too much?

It seems the person you're responding to uses the words boomer, washed and even woke unironically so I don't really see the point of replying to them, but maybe that is old fashioned with regards to my observation above.

Anyway, to me the documentary wasn't very interesting because I already had an inkling of how extremely seflish and amoral those people selling whatever sells inherently are, and even how many brainless followers they have, but I watched the societal trainwreck nonetheless.

Two Alex Honnold NatGeo climbing documentaries.

The Devil's Climb - Honnold and Tommy Caldwell cycle from Colorado to Alaska to climb five summits found in the Devils Thumb massif.

Explorer: The Last Tepui - Climbing deep in the Amazon in search of undiscovered animal species

Both have some fantastic shots, and more interesting than pissing about on skyscrapers imo.

the fact that you're stumped by my last line which explicitly calls these "alphas" ******s explains why you're confused.

I was a major louis fan decades ago.

He didnt expose anything interesting, he didnt get any questions answered and he looked just as bad and assholish as them.

I started watching Bodies. Halfway though and liking it despite typically hating the way time travel is treated in shows.

Have you finished Southland? I remembered why I haven't watched it as of yet. Apparently it was canceled with a pretty big cliffhanger in the finale. Still worth watching? That really ****s with me, kinda triggers my OCD brain to watch something that doesn't have an ending.

I'm about halfway thru 3rd season (there are 5 seasons).

Have you watched Deadwood? That's an all time timer that didn't have an ending.

Deadwood is the greatest show of all time.

I loved Deadwood. Don't remember it ending on a cliffhanger though, for sure. Maybe I waited for the movie to come out to watch it? I definitely was way behind everyone else watching it.

It wasn’t a cliffhanger, and it did end with the best possible piece of dialogue, but there was supposed to be a 4th season. Or at least they had plans for what it would be if it didn’t get cancelled. They did get a movie to wrap it up and I think ot did a great job.

I still think that not getting that 4th season is a crime against art and humanity…

If you were expecting Louis Theroux to go hard at these guys, you were bound to be disappointed. That isn't his brand. I don't know what he called a conspiracy that you believe is true. I hope nothing.

All that said, that documentary definitely wasn't exceptional. The whole thing felt like it was made about three years too late. We've been hearing about those idiots for a long time now.
