Movies and TV

Work man, it's cool. Just haven't had my head up to see much else. As you know in my industry machu, busy is good, inundated is great.

So E.L. James did rip off a 13 year old movie, is basically what you're saying. That is a pretty serious allegation, bacon. Pretty serious.

That face that I feel like Secretary is so recent is the scary part.

I feel like I should get paid.

 

[bacon]

You should!

Bingewatching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is our new past time. Highly recommended for like the 8th time

Always sunny got really unfunny really quickly. For binge rewatch the boner household goes to The League and 30 Rock these days.

Damn guess the early stuff is the best, noted.

 

[Boner_18]

Loved it early. Just seemed to get repetitive to me i guess.

 

[bacon]

I could see that happening. It's frat house humor but with more intellect, so far anyway. Frat house humor though - eventually it's going to get redundant. Yes beer is good and girls are hot, repeat.

I do love the movie All The President's Men (1976) tho. Just finished a rewatch. 8.4 out of 10.

Thing about it is, for me, it would be just as good if it was shot with the little Canon camera I keep in the drawer here. The visual side of it is of the most minor relevance.

It's all about the ideas.

Meanwhile, next in the rewatch queue: Titanic.

I believe I have only seen it the once, soon after it came out.

Not sure how this is gonna go.

Kate Winslet's weird pancake titties. uke:

Wot's that movee about anywae?

 

[Boner_18]

John Wick. It was good. Action, choreography, style, just the right length, and very little dialogue from reeves. Recommended next tine you want an assassin/revenge action fix.

Watching Filth recommended by an old buddy

What is this thing?

 

[bacon]

Filth was a, t a.

This right here is as good as acting gets.

 

[Mudcat]

I had it in my head that Titanic (1997) had more elegant storytelling but no, the set-up is very broad and obvious and clumsy. Reminiscent of Spielberg at his most people-pleasing.

The acting was also surprisingly weak. Kate Winslet and Dicaprio have both come a long way.

The effects too ---> not-quite-there. There were bits where I felt like I was watching a cartoon, the CGI was so obvious.

But it was the better part of 20 years ago so I can't be too harsh. I know the effects were incredible for the time.

Whatever, somehow, when all is said and done, for all the cliche and caricature, it packs a punch.

7 out of 10
