Joe Walsh Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 The latest Peacemaker was very good. Someone elsewhere said it's a roller-coaster ride and, yeah, that's a good term for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csyphrett Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 It's Columbo night as Jack Cassidy hires a guy to kill Mickey Spillane in a fake frame job that goes bad, and Jose Ferrer kills a colleague to protect his plagirist of a son. The first episode of Mrs Columbo was on the disc and it tries but it's not as good as the parent show CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 The Ice Pirates: Convoluted story involving a shortage of water in a galaxy with large supplies of hydrogen and oxygen, and the pirates who steal the ice from the Templars who control the water trade. A comedy several notches below Spaceballs in quality. This was basically a nostalgia watch. (HBOmax) The Goonies: It's good enough for me. Still fun even after nearly 4 decades.

Old Man Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Jessica Jones Season 1 Episode 1: Netflix is deleting its Marvel shows at the end of the month so I figured I'd see what this show was all about. That was a mistake because episode 1 was amazing and there is no way I can finish three seasons in two weeks.

mattingly Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Jessica Jones is my favorite out of all of them. Especially Season 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the best Marvel villain portrayal throughout all the MCU movies and TV. Slowly drops in quality thru seasons 2 and 3. 3 is just ok IMO.

Joe Walsh Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I sure hope the Netflix Marvel stuff ends up on D+ or Hulu or somewhere we can watch it. I'd hate to never be able to watch S1 of Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Luke Cage again. Yesterday we watched Nobody on HBOMax. It's yet another movie in the John Wick subgenre. Unlike many of the imitators, this one was watchable. I like that it's somewhat realistic at the beginning, but I didn't like that as it goes on it gets more ridiculous until you end up with the bad guys' guns' narrative effect being the equivalent of shouting "I'm angry! I'm dangerous! I'm gonna get you!" as the bullets fly all around but never really threaten the hero. Still, there were funny bits throughout, and it was nice to see Christopher Lloyd being a badass.

Starlord Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Boba Fett had some...uhhh...issues. I though the overall storyline and plot was good, but the some of the dialogue was shoddy and the action was crap (if I have to watch those ugly speeder bikes racing down the street at a sleep-inducing 5 mph during what is supposed to be a thrilling action sequence i may have a stroke) except for ep 5 and some of 7. Out of all the new characters, the best acting and dialogue came from Jennifer Beals, frankly. Fennec and Boba had zero charisma or personality. Episode 5 was easily the best which is incredibly problematic given that it was a Mandalorian bonus episode. I did enjoy the Tusken flashbacks - they were solid.

Pariah Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I've watched the first three episodes of Ghosts. Woman and her husband inherit an old family house that is haunted by everyone who died in the vicinity, woman falls down the stairs and has a near-death experience, woman can now see all the ghosts, husband is convinced she's having a psychotic break from reality until she starts telling him things only the ghosts would know. It has potential. Matt the Bruins and Joe Walsh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Walsh Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Anyone who enjoys the US version of Ghosts may want to check out the original UK version. It's on HBOMax in the US. We liked both, and hope there are more episodes of both soon. (S1E1 of each series are almost the same, but after that they diverge and mostly go their own ways, as they should, based on the US and UK's different histories.)

Starlord Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I liked both versions, but after awhile the complete idiocy of the British husband becomes grating and annoying. I like the American version better. Joe Walsh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Walsh Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Yeah, not all of the characters are great all the time. I've busted a gut a few times watching writer/creator Laurence Rickard's portrayal of the headless noble and the caveman, but the Fanny and Kitty characters can be tiresome at times. Then it's on to the next thing, and all is well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Jessica Jones Season 1 Episode 2: All these characters are really likeable. That's so weird. Except Kilgrave, he seems like kind of a dick. Jessica Jones Season 1 Episode 3: Wow, Trish, you're a badass! Kind of stupid though. I have to say this is probably my favorite supers power level. No frap rays or flight, nothing obvious. Two supers eating street tacos. "So, you born this way?" "Accident. You?" "Experiment." Relatable. mattingly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 We watched Encanto the other night. I really enjoyed it. Strange thing, though ...

Spoiler for those who haven't seen it/them yet: Spoiler Mainly Abuela's inability to deal with her grief and the consequences it has on the people around her. She tries to make everything just perfect, but ends up making things worse for everyone in the end. And in both shows, you don't even know that grief is the real issue until most of the way through.

Joe Walsh Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 Finished S1 of Peacemaker. Great ending to the season! So far this series is comfortably in my top 10 supers shows.
