the more I think about that stupid girly rom-com that everyone was stanning on the more I hate it. it was stupid as fk.

i resent the fact that i was duped into watching it because it was, supposedly, radical/interesting. it's just shit.

People love To aAl the Boys... It was playing in the place I was getting a pedicure on Saturday. I have grown fond of it. The protagonist is interesting and the male lead has an enjoyable personality (unlike a lot of rom coms and I guess young men in general in life)

Have any of you (or I?) recommended the Herzog volcano doc? It's great!
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 10 September 2018 13:24 (six years ago) link
I think there's some traffic on the Herzog thread.Into the Inferno is terrific!

I finished Glow and liked it. Not sure I buy Maron's character arc, but I'm in love with Alison Brie, generally loved the ensemble cast and I'm a sucker for some sentimental claptrap, so I'm IN.

Yeah, we just raored through both series of Glow and regret not a second of it. It even made me like Maron, which is quite an achievment.

The live action version of Bleach was surprisingly awesome! Would recommend even if you're unfamiliar with the anime.

I just saw a review for Dragon Prince that positively compares it to Avatar: The Last Airbender and Justice League (presumably the DCAU version), both of which are A+ in my book. Anyone confirm?

I couldn't get into the first American Vandal but the second season is great
― louise ck (milo z), Monday, 17 September 2018 02:00 (six years ago) link
What didn't you like about the first one? Love the second one so far, it's both more puerile and ... I was going to say even more ambitious with its satire, but I don't know about that. It's definitely equally smart about its stupid subject, though.

No one has said anything about Sierra Burgess is a Loser? I started it today, but got interrupted. It's like a cyrano story with Barb from Stranger Things? And our favorite Baby Ruffalo.

ooooh ok will watch you said the magic words ie Baby Ruffalo

I will admit we’re totally in the everything is just a regurgitated take off of other stuff you like but come on how Wicker Man x Get Carter x the Raid not be good.

― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 02:17 (six years ago) link
WHat! How? The trailer makes it look so good. I haven't had the time to get past the first 10 minutes I watched yesterday.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 03:10 (six years ago) link
it’s boring, stilted, the dialogue is unnatural...it doesnt feel like people, fictional or otherwise.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 04:17 (six years ago) link
so i watched season 2 of atypical
i liked how the last few episodes turned into something more than autism
casey exploring her curiosity for women, listening to cure records, sam being just an awkward guy who turns into a philosopher with so much insight, which admittedly is a pretty common archetype in movies about weird high school loners turned thinkers
it definitely feels like something beyond autism, which is probably for the better
― F# A# (∞), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 04:31 (six years ago) link
also no idea what cyrano means but i saw the sierra burgess trailer and it looks like they make all her problems revolve around her being overweight
not sure how much of a (good, series long) show you can make out of that premise alone tbh
― F# A# (∞), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 04:42 (six years ago) link
it’s a movie fyi :)cyrano = cyrano de bergerac ie ugly person uses attractive person to woo similarly attractive personor the movie Roxanne if the literary reference still doesnt track
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 04:52 (six years ago) link
oh my bad
― F# A# (∞), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 04:58 (six years ago) link
i thought the trailer looked terrible tbh, but was curious cause... Noah Centineo.
apart from the fat=unattractive message, it's also about catfishing?
― Roz, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 05:24 (six years ago) link
well, cyrano is basically about that too.

i watched a teen romcom, called alex strangelove, about a high school kid that was in the closet. i wouldn't recommend it highly but it has good things about it, notably one actress (the girlfriend) who i thought was great, she reminded me of alison brie. her name is madeleine weinstein and her imdb bio ends:
She would also like everyone to know she is not related to Harvey Weinstein.

The 100 is hardcore for a CW show. Five episodes in and there's a 20 minute torture scene.
― louise ck (milo z), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 04:47 (six years ago) link
I simply love the 100. Skot isn’t here right now to back me up. I love how it gets right to the point in a very unscreenwriterly way, I love how casually gay and matriarchal it is, I forgive it readily for its many idiocies.

speaking of terrible trailers... I really want to check out Maniac cause I love Emma Stone and Cary Fukunaga is involved but god, it looks like some horribly pretentious crap.
