Wasn’t sure what to expect, I’m really not a fan of games-turned-movies or movies-turned-games but it’s pretty ok so far. Currently on first season episode six, Joel and Ellie just found his brother in Wyoming. Things seem to have gone sour between Joel and his brother.
I’m not really a superhero movie type of guy, but is Peacemaker worth watching? How about The Boys? Recommendations of all types are welcome. I enjoy the rec’s I get here.
No spoilers please, btw.
Project Hail Mary. It’s absolute peak.
To me, Peacemaker ended at just about the time where the fundamental premise of the show got tiresome. So there’s that. Lanterns was much better than I expected.
The Boys starts strong but probably should have ended with season 3.
I’m currently watching some older adult animated shows. Ugly Americans is an interesting look at civil service bureaucracy, and China, Il does the same for community college. Superjail was too avant-garde even for me.
hard to recommend the boys when one of the actors (frenchie) is an unrepentant idf guy
I’ve seen some stuff about Lanterns lately, one of the main characters was the wife in No Country For Old Men, Carla Jean. I’ll have to give that a go.
That looks interesting. That’s going high up on the list.
It’s pretty awesome. I recommend just checking out the first 5 minutes and you might find it’s worth dropping last of us after season 1. Didn’t really find season 2 worth watching tbh. Peacemaker is interesting enough. I don’t get why so many folks are glazing Lanterns, but I was never really a green lantern guy anyway.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Watch The Curse
Thanks got it on my list.
Babylon 5! It’s amazing. Season 1 is a bit of a slog until the 2/3rds mark on a first watch. On a second your mind is blown by how much subtle setup there js for events way down the line. It is absolutely peak shit
That’s the nineties sci-fi show right? I remember flipping channels and catching bits of it here and there back when it was current, if it’s what I’m thinking of.
Edit - it is the show I was thinking of. I’ll have to give it a shot.
As I said, you gotta hack through the first bit, I bounced off a few times before finally getting into it. Basically the dude who created the show had been pitching it around for years and had the whole story figured out beforehand, the firsr season he was still under network control a bit but it gradually loosens until he’s the only writer for every episode, then the network starts going under and they gotta rush the ending. They roll with some punches but the overall story was planned before the show started so season 1 is like a prologue and also trtong to please the networks a bit, so it comes off a bit more generic sci fi, but just stick with it and you’re in for one of the best pieces of fiction ever.
Then I’ll really have to give it a shot. I wasn’t really into sci-fi when it first came out so I just dismissed it mostly, but I’ll be downloading it and putting it into jellyfin this week. I think it’s what I’ll watch next. Thanks for the recommendation.
There’s a TV movie pilot called The Gathering. Make sure you watch that before episode 1, sometimes torrents have it filed with the other tv movies that came out after the series.
Train to Busan. If you like zombie stuff but its a movie.
I do like zombie flicks. Thanks.
Np! I can give some more if you are interested when I get to my computer?
