    What TV series are you watching at moment?

    Last Man on Earth - Cringe-worthy episode, but there's something I enjoy about this show.

    yeah the previous one sucked, but this new one was pretty funny. they should focus more on the whole concept of being alone in the world and not just their relationships, which gets really cringey at times when it comes to forte's acting.

     

     

    This show is definitely cringe-comedy. Not sure if I like that term, but that's what it is. Like you said, especially Forte's. I actually preferred the show with just him, but, that could only go so long I guess. Not sure about adding character after character, which seems like is what's happening. I didn't see last nights 2 episodes yet to comment.

    Trudging through Hannibal season 1 now. The cinematography is by the numbers (black and white flashback scene, really?), the dialog is mostly self-congratulatory and wooden, and the actors' performances are so consistently two-dimensional (was Lawrence Fishburne always this bad?) I feel like the director is at fault. It's all a little too slick, tidy, snappy and predictable. It doesn't afford any breathing room for moments of poetry, it's all whiz-bang, keep the plot rolling. In spite of all that, I'm enjoying it. Posts earlier in the thread seem to indicate that it gets better and there's something really addictive about it so I'll stick with it.

     

    I'm probably just being too hard on every other show after wrapping up The Wire a month ago. Someone said this was originally broadcast on NBC? Pretty impressive, considering.

     

    Season 2 is where it's at. Felt the same way about season 1. I would've not kept watching, but there's nothing on the tube on Friday nights, so I came back for season 2. It's a far better season. Not a serial killer of the week like season 1. At least I think so...it's been awhile. Pretty lush actually if I were to use one word to describe.

     

     

    Man Seeking Woman - Last episode where he becomes conjoined with his girlfriend had me crying during the Bro-Kennel sequence.

    I binge-watched every episode last weekend. I didn't find myself laughing out loud much but I like almost everything about it.

     

     

    Kinda with you. Not an lol-esque show. I appreciate the strangeness. Bro-Kennel had me crying though. 'Nother shout out to the horror-esque dinner party with his sister earlier in the season.

    writing is so abysmal. the town couldnt possibly exist with these people in it, as they are. they go out on what shouldve been a routine run and half their crew gets eaten, coincidentally right after rick and his posse show up, that way when the boss lady's son gets eaten, it creates tension because the coward guy lies and blames it all on glenn. if those dudes were that shitty at going on runs they wouldve got eaten a long ass time ago. not to mention that some evil crew like the guvnah wouldve spotted them and stormed their town ages ago and theyd have been helpless little bitches. its a completely impossible situation just clearly set up by the writers to create another 'event' for the main cast to walk into.

     

    then all of a sudden rick flips out, and im sure he couldve handled that situation with just a bit more diplomacy, even if the blonde is pretty smokin. so its like oh now suddenly rick's the bad guy and we gotta have a talk about him. nothing thats happening now makes any sense. why am i watching this still!!?

     

    lol. Pretty much in lock step with you for the most part. The fight scene & Rick talking with the gun was an lol. I mean you bit some dudes throat out Rick. You can't beat a former artist who became a surgeons' ass man? especially a drunk one? get the hell outta here with that.

    I know a lot of this has been pulled from the comic, but the whole kill the surgeon wife beater angle like that's the only sollution rings hollow. How bout' try putting him in a holding cell. You might seriously need a surgeon peoples. This guy is nothing compared to the "bad" people they've encountered before that Rick keeps eluding to. (except for the wife beating ofcourse...the Sam kid has it coming though...screw that kid)

     

    Alexandra Breckenridge though...it may make sense after all...

    hated the score for scarface? how is that even possible? i mean ..what? how? why?

     

    pretty easy when you're not a fan of moroder. :smile:

     

    his production for other folks is better than his own stuff imo.

    The 80s Scarface is terrible, they'd have to try pretty hard to make it worse. The original one was great though.

     

    I'm with you. Never liked it. Hated the score, cinematography, and most everything else. But, with that being said, it's considered by many to be a classic & there's no point in re-making it.

    best episode by far. also, I bet he got a call from that tuco guy

     

    Probably not a bad call. There's only a few episodes left & I'm sure they got to bring that angle back in with the "nacho?" guy who threatened Jimmy. Curious to see what comes of the Mike/Vet meeting from the previews & who Mike may start to work for.

    The Grey (2012) - Expected another Liam Neeson shitfest, but was actually pleasantly surprised. Yes it was a pretty ridiculous plot (wolves picking off people one-by-one trope), but it managed to work for me. I was able to forgive the use of the shitty cg wolves in between the use of animatronic ones. The script tried to touch on bigger things, which elevated it above the normal action/disaster flick. Somewhat nihilistic actually.

    I was wondering about that.With BB it was pretty well documented. I haven't been paying too much attention to it yet, but it looks like it checks out. Mrs. Kettleman was wearing lots of red last night & Jimmy's gal-friend had a lot of blue if I'm not mistaken. Quality episode btw. Heluva long track during Mike's B&E scene. I think there were some flatwounds on that bass.

    I'm sorry, Prometheus was a complete pile of barnyard animal shit. Piles of barnyard animal shit that is as wide as it is tall. That stretches as far as the human eye can see. So basically all you are seeing is barnyard animal shit.

     

    but, whatevs.

    man mike almost had me in tears when he was talking about breaking his son. amazing episode.

     

     

     

    Brilliant scene. Probably hit harder for me being a father to 3 kids.

    yeah, that was an outstanding bit of telly, up there with any of the best episodes from Breaking Bad.

     

    I think I agree. Definitely had as powerful of sequences as any BB episode.

    pretty gud.

     

    tho i always want to cry knowing how Mike dies ;_;

     

    Jonathan Banks has stated he gave some ideas about his death scene tying it back to his son & hopes they find a way to do it in Better Call Saul. I'm not sure how they could pull it off, but I hope they can. I hated the way he went out by such a bitch move. Something meta from Mike's pov excluding the part Walt sits with him. Not necessary though. Just something I wouldn't mind seeing. This past episode illuminated so much more of Mike in the BB universe & makes it all the more tragic imo. This episode really did it for me.
