Movie and TV Recommendations

^ Why I stopped watching shows until the story had concluded.

My buddy wanted me to watch The Nevers after the first half of a season came out. I said something about not wanting to watch half a season of a show that'll be cancelled, but mostly just joking around. That's exactly what happened. Cancelled after 1/2 of a season.

Well, that didn't last.

Variety: ‘1899’ Canceled at Netflix After One Season.

Was just gonna post that up.
Guess there's no point in watching it now.

Diggs said it was slow, but there's probably a point where it's too slow and people lose interest -- hence it getting canceled.

Decent little thriller on Amazon Prime. The book is good, movie adaptation somewhat faithful to it. I enjoyed both. Anyone else seen (or read)?

I would have watched season 2 only because the showrunners and having seen Dark. If the show was from some unknowns I would have ducked out way earlier. Hopefully another service that I have picks it up but I doubt it.

I've been watching Cabinet of Curiosities on Netflix. I'm glad it's a collection of short films and not a series -- makes it easy to just go "well, I'm in a horror mood, let's check this out". I've seen three of the shorts so far, all very different. All fun, but some better than others.

I'm liking Terminal List. It picked up for me.

The Menu was amazing. Fantastic movie, one of the best I've seen this year.

I thought I saw someone recommend this on here and I just watched it today.
It was okay, albeit sorta predictable.

I watched "Glass Onion" the other night and thought it was wasn't bad.

It's got a couple twists in it

The Last of Us. Not too bad after the 1st episode. I played the game years ago...I don't remember much though.

SICK was entertaining. Lots of good horrors coming out lately

Watched lotsa movies this weekend.

Watched Shaft for the first time, I cannot believe I never came across it all these years. Fuckin loved it, so much fun.

Watched Days of Being Wild for the first time, it was incredible. Wong Kar-wai frames up amazing shots. Very moody overall. Can't wait to check out more of his work.

Rewatched Do The Right Thing, solid movie if there are some who haven't seen it yet.

Watched a short film about Group B rallying called, Group B. It was aiight.

Saw M3gan at the theater over the weekend (kiddo wanted to go). It wasn't bad, but not up to the 95% or whatever it has on RT. Few too many plotholes and people being dumb as usual. It brought nothing new to the genre. Still entertaining but not worth going to the theater for.

Oh shit, I forgot I also watched The Holy Mountain last Wednesday.


That was a goddamn peyote trip in the desert in movie form. Jesus fuckin christ. It was exhausting, exhilarating, stressful, bewildering and profound.
