I rarely get offended watching tv/movies, but I have to say lots of that left a bitter taste in my mouth. Making the Nazis out to be cartoonish villains, and making up a bunch of ridiculous death camp stories (like the chess thing), was pretty shitty. Pacino is great in it though alright, and I'm usually pretty lukewarm on him. The lack of a consistent style was also annoying, when it just sticks to the story and stays in the moment it's fine, but the various little over stylized diversions felt completely out of place.

Really? I mean sure a lot of that is bull, but there’s lots of horrible shit that was true. I guess I don’t find it offensive because it’s not supposed to be a true story.

there were certainly actual instances of horrible psychopathic shit that went down, given a situation like that the small minority of people who are psychopaths would have a field day. but the really terrifying thing about the Nazis was that most of the perpetrators were average, uninteresting people; the banality of evil explains most of what went on far better than some over the top cartoon evil.

i feel like this documentary started off by wanting to be about hillary clinton, but couldn't help but be about what hillary clinton thinks of losing to trump and reminecesing about being first lady. it's so much that, it almost feels like it's a campaign anouncement

binged all 3 seasons of Dragon Prince on netflix.  I hope they make more.  Some cool fantasy, but extra cool dragons.

let alone a drug dealer,

He's very clearly not supposed to be a drug dealer. He's a poor kid who has an opportunity to make some money to help out at home, not some hip fucking gangster from the 5 boroughs.

There is no banality of evil.

Watching and enjoying Hunters (I like that is cartoonish and ripping of Tarantino), Picard and Better Call Saul.

[Nebraska]

loved the original but this was a terrible first episode. might try episode 2 when it airs

[Rubin Farr]

Devs is great, Legit is pretty funny.  Gotta catch up on Better Call Saul.

[Silent Member]

Oh shit yeah, I've been looking forward to Devs, didn't know it was out yet. Thanks

I watched the massively hyped I am not okay with this. People are loving it. But lo and behold, it turns out it's more of the same. Carrie by way of a feelgood retro-fetishizing coming of age dramedy.

Netflix/10

I liked it just fine mostly because I liked the characters and rust belt Pennsylvania setting. The cinematography was excellent. No qualms with the postmodern retro meets modern day stuff, some zoomers are really into throwback fashion and tech (vinyl, tapes). 

The supernatural stuff was almost secondary.

Watched this with my girls and we were hooked. Excellent show/watch now.

Mamoru Oshii is finally doing another anime series.  IMO even his bad stuff is worth watching:

The Outsider. I'm halfway through, loving it.

[beerwolf]

Done all of Narcos: Mexico and then went and have almost finished Narcos. Mexico being my favourite. 

I've been watching so much of it I had a dream the other night and it was totally in Spanish. Weird.

Having only seen his mainstream work, I'd be curious what you consider bad?

I'm excited for this though!

Started The New Pope yesterday. Two episodes in, so far.

They've dialled up the weird.

Still looks gorgeous. Some puzzling sex scenes, but, hey, it's a show about the Vatican, so it's not *just* gratuitous. Not as much mystery as The Young Pope, but that's to be expected. Put down of pope Francis II in the first episode was a bit too much, but that was over quickly. The rest is a lot less obvious. Still weird enough.

Did I mention weird?

Also: gorgeous.

Really looking forward to the rest.

Just finished True Detective season 3. 
Quite Good/10

Cruised through it. I love how the A story, B story and C story are all solving the same crime with the same characters at different times in their lives. 
Mahershala is pretty amazing. His old-makeup is really well done, too.

Started watching Dark. Or D A R K, whatever. I feel like this is going to be a long road to nowhere. And I can't stop seeing Ulrich as John Doggett. Is this show worth the time?
