Beautiful. I did a series rewatch a few weeks ago and it felt like the show never ended. Everyone slipped back into their roles seamlessly. I absolutely loved it.

I started watching the movie, got like 2 minutes in and decided to go back to the series for a rewatch before i go in because I had forgotten how much I loved these characters and this writing.

I just bought the season for like $20 on Amazon when it started airing since I’m too lazy to pirate and don’t have FX. Will be doing the same for Legion S3.

The misanthropy in The Terror was off the charts relative to all else on TV and I loved it for it. A reminder that nature nor mankind have a true charted depth for indifference and cruelty. Especially when faced with survival.

Yeah it was bad. I think part of it is they just haven't felt inventive anymore, not for a couple seasons. In fact they resemble our current world maybe a bit too much. Striking Vipers is the only one with any edge but even then it still feels like it's 4 or 5 years stale.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #16579 on:** June 06, 2019, 12:53:49 PM »

Holy fuck at Big Little Lies. I was a bit turned off by how trite I felt it was but it just snowballs into this monster of emotional intensity. It is directly related to how much the show opens up these tortured characters but it's done in such a way that you're beginning in a shallow place that makes the opposite end so compelling by contrast.

I thought it was consistent the whole way through

I'd say it was my initial impression with the women being catty but the gears cought for me within the first episode further in. Could be my own extreme dislike for this housewives of fuck mountain sort of drama that it seemed to initially evoke but clearly is not.

Finished Homecoming, on Amazon Prime.
Eh... it was alright, it's from the Mr. robot guy and it shows in its style, but the story didn't really do much for me.
Julia Roberts and Shea Whigham had good performances though (her in particular).

Yeah, I really love daytime drama, Lifetime-esque shows, although I know they're not for everyone... I'm surprised you stuck with it if that's how you felt at the beginning! Did you watch Sharp Objects?

I adored Sharp Objects so I'm willing to stick with a slow burn. That's the sort of mindset I went in with this

I also have to say, Nicole Kidman is working on another level. She evokes so much with so little. Laura Dern too but with her rightous anger. That counseling session though, with Kidman. Goddamn the whole scene was heightened in general.

Just finished When They See Us on Netflix, it's the 4 episode series about the Central Park 5 case where 5 teenage boys got beaten and intimidated into giving confessions to a rape they later got exonerated from (23 years later).

It's been a long time since I've seen anything that intense. I had to take a break after the first episode and just watched the other three episodes in one go. It's captivating, terrible, and will leave you feeling angry at how flimsy the justice system is.

Good Omens is pretty fucking great, and as a six-parter one and done nicely self contained.

I have only watched two episodes and holy shit was it terrible.
Fighting Vipers was so bad that it was hilarious, but that episode where the dude lost his fiancé because he checked his social media account and subsequently kidnaps someone because of reasons is probably the worst hour of television I have watched this year.

I see him as a less interesting version of Gaspar Noè, but his Pusher trilogy is fantastic.
I still like his post-Drive stuff though, i think it's flawed but very intriguing.

I'll usually take a sloppy unique movie, over a polished soulless big studio turd. (and this is not to say that all big blockbusters are soulless, or that all "authorial" movies are unique or interesting).
They are starting to blend all together though, his recent efforts.

Reminds me of post-Tree Of Life Malick in a sense, where both directors seemed to take on very different ideas before, and then started to shit out a million movies that sort of blend together.

Yes, yes, Malick in on another planet.

its entirely self contained other than an almost pointless luke cage cameo, which seems to show LC is better off as a crime boss than he ever was as 'harlems hero'.

Its really a shame they unceremoniously dumped it, because its pretty damn good

It's Refn-core. Glacial pacing, I'm talking near 15-30 second pause beats between lines. Violent, and a lot of sexual content. I loved it but it's definitely a "how much do you dig this guy's work" kinda thing. Kinda felt like he was taking another shot at some of the stuff he was doing in Only God Forgives and Neon Demon in particular. Like he combined the themes and ideas of those two and stretched it over 16 hours.

Refns show is an absolutely wonderful fever dream when watched high as fuck. It can be a slog but then it fixates on something, with the swelling synths, evocative imagery, these coelescing of elements heightens EVERYTHING in a spooky way.l I've never really experienced. It's just too bad you have to slog through some of the more drawn out scenes.

It's really really auteur stuff. I'd say give it a go but way scenes are played out I would understand if you punched out. The world gets weirder as it goes on so I'd say it's worth investing into if you dig the vibe.
