The dress down scene in Too Old where Jesus gets disrespected has to be the most badass clapback from him in all of TV history. Holy fuck. Officially in love with this show.

The back end of Too Old to Die Young is so depraved that it circles back to being beautiful. I don't know how he did is but I'm here empathising over it.

Watching the Refyn show and is ep3 really directed by him? Went from two eps of everyone talking like they’re in slow motion with 10 second pauses between words, to suddenly standard tv dialogue and pacing in ep3 wtf?

Only God Forgives had parts like that too (the mother), and they felt very out of place there as well.

started watching Into The Badlands. One episode in, I am not exactly sold on it. On paper, the premise is right up my alley, but I don't know. Something's not clicking.

It gets better once they stop pretending to be in America (pretty much everything after season 1). Stops trying to be some weird western thing and pretty much goes full post apocalyptic kung-fu shit.

The more i think about the Deadwood movie, the more i'm puzzled by its existence.
I loved it as a fan service type of thing, but did it really add anything to any of the characters' stories? there was no real development for anyone, aside from the implicit passage of time, given the 10+ years. It felt more like they just came back to
major spoiler
kill Charlie and Al.
[close]

It still made me emotional, and i'd still be happy to spend another 4 seasons in that world, though.
Just odd to consider it a "finale", felt more like a "let's check back in for an hour and a half".

Not sure what else you expected even as arcs goes. Everyone ends up pretty much where you expect, maybe with a little luck sprinkled over some of them. Show is part historical so there's not much they could do about the big antagonist they built up in s3 but they did a good job of wrapping the bigger stuff up.  Drunks are still drunk, stubborn assholes are still stubborn assholes. It was nice to say hello again, and goodbye.

Jessica Jones season 3 was fantastic.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Got Angel vibes from the ending. "The work is never done" basically. This season is pretty much where I expected Trish to go after the s2 finale, and I'm glad they set everything up so that her gradual descent makes sense at any given time. Trish this season was the "real" big bad, like Dark Willow in Buffy season 6. Really enjoyed everything.
[close]

DD and JJ basically followed the same path: amazing first season, pretty good second season that maybe repeated or echoed the first season too much, and a thrilling and intense third season finale.

I will love and cherish and be rewatching both shows for years to come.

Yeah it's weird and once production change to more of a UK-Ireland/ China co-production (iirc) they drop it almost completely. Season two is basically them throwing most of the western stuff away from a story pt of view.

If you're a Refn fan you should enjoy Too Old to Die Young.  Especially the cartel episodes.

I couldn't finish the first episode. This show is like a litmus test for something.

I used to watch this Chinese-produced serial back in the early 90's, I think it was literally called Shaolin Monks. It probably sucks without nostalgia goggles, but that's what it initially reminded me of, visually.

Ok, made it through 4 eps of Too Old To Die Young so far and this is kinda terrible with moments of genius but can’t stop watching.

Refn with an editor reigning him in would be amazing.

To be honest, it just kinda feels like one of the weaker Lynch films so far.

Holy shit at the fifth episode of Too Old to Die Young. Shit was already dark but just curved into sadistic.
The hole is deeper.
Worth checking out?

Historical context is surealy limiting what Milch could do, and it's not like i was expecting them to do crazy things in that sense, but the more i think about each character's "epilogue", the more i feel like, it's exactly what they had established in the last season already.
As i said it felt more like a "check in" with the characters, more than a vital puzzle piece that was missing from the plot.

Which is alright, as i said it still made me emotional to be there again.

If you compare it to something like Twin Peaks (either FWWM or season 3), it's much more conservatively adding to what we already had.

Ep5 of Too Old to Die Young - Well, that was a thing.
Sometimes I can't tell if this whole thing is a troll. The radio sequence in the car was  :clap

This show is the Twin Peaks S3 of 2019. Everyone should watch it, but it's not actually good, but it's more interesting than most other things on TV so it's worth watching for the experience.

Ep2 with the Cartel was the best ep in the first half by a long shot. Even if it was an hour and forty minutes long.

Yeah, I'm not really a fan and feel like he just got lucky with Drive (especially the soundtrack being an amazing mix of artists). The Cliff Martinez soundtrack is excellent in the new show though, dude is always on point. I think Refn has very good cinematography and style. Beautiful shots. But I don't think he knows how to make a good movie out of them. He'd be much better as a music video director.

My impression of Refn as not a fan is it seems like in Refn's head he is Lynch x Tarantino (and maybe x Jesus in just how indulgent his stuff is) but he's not really anywhere near as good as either of those two. I am ok watching his stuff though because it's at least trying to do something ambitious and interesting even if I think it generally fails.

They all dropped at once on Amazon Prime Video.

New Scooby show out today, finally something to wash Be Cool out of our mouths. :yuck

Probably won't watch this but cool to see some of the cameos.

Quote
Guest stars that have been announced for the show include Chris Paul, Sia, Halsey, Ricky Gervais, Kenan Thompson, Wanda Sykes, Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Mark Hamill, along with fictional characters such as Steve Urkel, Batman, Sherlock Holmes, the Flash and Wonder Woman.



Doing a new take on the New Scooby Movies is such a bizarre move but they seem to be doing it right, so I'm in full support.

Kids today will be baffled by some of these crossovers just like I was. :rejoice
