What was the last movie/show you watched?

[Dan Epstein]

Preacher is back for a 2nd season?!
Damn, too much work and too much Mojitos, I got some catching up to do.
I loved the comic book series too, anyone who was a teen in the 90's (Xennial) can find so many cool throwbacks in it.
Thanks for the update

...since MI5.....

Great show, MI-5, but I can never forget the second episode of the first series, where Helen, one of the MI-5 spies, is killed by having her head and arm plunged into a deep fryer. I found that very disturbing, and supposedly this prompted a record number of viewer complaints in Britain. The remaining episodes and series were certainly not lacking for violence and torture, but that scene has stayed with me.

I was never a fan of graphic violence as well, I enjoyed other aspects

MI-5 was great training for reading the Song of Wind and Fire in not getting too attached to characters.

Brutal show, in a good way as it had a purpose like "The Wire"

Osmia, have you tried "Fortitude"? Set in the arctic circle, which sounds lovely just now with summer heat. I haven't tried Icelandic TV arts yet, sort of stuck on Australia with the occasional hop over to NZ.

 

[Dan Epstein]

Loved "The Wire", my friends always compared me to Bubbles, but I always wanted to be Omar or Stringer-Bell.
I miss Flight of The Concords.

 

[DFT]

Bodie was clearly the most present, aware and clean of drugs of any character.

That death haunts me. Sopranos killed hundreds, none mattered. No depth.

Nobody can touch Omar though.

 

[Dan Epstein]

Well, if you can watch a series with sub-titles, I recommend the Italian TV masterpiece Gomorrah, based on the work of the journalist Roberto Saviano, one of the most important research journalists in the world today.

 

[DFT]

Interesting, can't pass on that. Subtitles and I can be a problem - "Das Leben der Anderen", no problem since German is pretty easy to follow for an English speaker. "Hatufim" aka "Prisoners of War" that was remade into Showtime's "Homeland" - I couldn't follow Hebrew with subtitles as there was too much lost and I gave up. Same problem with some Russian films I've tried.

First venture into Italian cinema, thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Dan Epstein]

Hebrew is my native language, and I couldn't follow it as well

MI-5, if nothing else, introduced me to the very lovely Keeley Hawes. She was great in Identity and Line of Duty, too.

No; I hadn't heard of it, but now I will definitely check it out. I noticed that one of its cast members, Björn Hlynur Haraldsson, was the lead actor in Lava Field.

I went to see "It Comes at Night" yesterday. It was not what I expected but it was right up my alley so I enjoyed it. Can definitely see why some people wouldn't, especially because I think it's marketed as something different than it is. But it's a very well made, and well acted, movie.

Then I watched "The Road" because I recently read the book. Both were really good, and Viggo Mortenson was great in it.

I love Joel Edgerton's work, I actually saw a straight to DVD movie he directed a while ago and it was very well done and acted. I sincerely recommend it, it's called "The Gift"

 

[KarlaKaress]

movie: princess and the frog :3
show: the great british baking experience.

i would recommend BOTH of these! the princess and the frog is my favorite movie (black disney princess hello media representation!), and the great british baking experience is so relaxing to watch.

Any chance for more Maury Chaykin and I'm in. "Gomorrah" arrived, only had a chance to watch the opening scene to try to get a feel... are they talking about their kids being on Facebook while going off to murder someone? I must watch and soon.

Give it 10 minutes and I believe you be hooked It has way beyond just a crime series to it. From the Christian iconography, to generational gaps, and the fact that it's based on reporter's investigation of the Camorra in Naples.

 

[ExcellaExe]

Have recently become obsessed with American Gods the show and book, as well as Outlander. So much television

 

[swagger]

Just started watching a Netflix documentary series called The Keepers, about the unsolved murder of a nun and another woman in Baltimore in '69. If you enjoyed Making a Murderer or deep crime docs, this is phenomenal!

 

[swagger]

Update, just started watching episode 2 and holy shit this is good. But I also wanted to give a child sex abuse trigger alert warning, be advised.

 

[Ambers Troll]

Miss Sloane. Was as good as suspected but was hoping to be more surprised by the end game as I knew nothing of the back story.
People who come from a place of a completely intellectual outlook fascinate me.

I'm glad you clarified that you liked that movie... I thought you were giving it a rating of a "3".

 

[KarlaKaress]

@ForceTen I would never! lol 10/10

 

[Deleted member 37064]

I might have to watch that one of these days... It's been a long time since I've seen an animated movie...

 

[Carasonfire]

last show i watched was mike tyson mystery series and i love how silly that show perfect for just chillin out in bed when you have nothing to do

 

[DFT]

Supercar Superbuild is my chill out. Great to see the processes that don't matter to my daily driver.

 

[Ambers Troll]

Just saw the documentary 'The hunting ground', sometimes it is disturbing what free market systems can create... in this case to higher education.

 

[Ann_Sulu]

Saw the new Spiderman movie yesterday. I felt they did a decent job with it.

 

[Dan Epstein]

No rest for me until Rick and Morty are back!

 

[paige_orion]

Finally finished up Season 4.2 of Vikings! It was probably my favorite season out of all of them, actually. There's always ONE thing in every season that makes me rage over its silliness, but this season, there was nothing, and it was satisfying on a karmic level, man. And as always, the visuals are beautiful, the music is exquisite, the costumes are superb!

 

[DFT]

Yeah, much excitement about Game of Thrones and I'm "meh". I've seen the sets, the wagons, the dragons, the rubes and the boobs. This has been going on for over a decade since I read the books, now I want the story finished. May well skip this season as it's just another tease to the finish.

But Rick and Morty? Hell yes! Tell me a fun story, then in a week or so tell me another. Off week, fill with some HarmonQuest. Now that's worth anticipating.

I gotta check this HarmonQuest now. I was about to start writing my final seminary paper in order to finish the degree, but thanks to you the plans have totally changed
