Quantum Leap

One of my favorite shows from the 90's. And since there are numerous remakes being developed, may I pitch one more ~ Quantum Leap

How cool would that be knowing what we know now?!

What an ending!

I'm as excited for the upcoming episodes as I am for a new season of Black MIrror.

Yellowstone

Note to hollyweird - THIS is how you do a show with NO virtue signaling, NO SJW-Preaching, & NO agenda prompting. Just a great show with a great cast and awesome storytelling for entertainment value, period! If only all of hollyweird could/would GET this simple concept.

Tyler Sheridan just keeps bringing in the hits. His Urban-Western storytelling is on fire right now.

@archangell Or this can be your thing. And those shows can be their thing. And everybody gets to watch what they want.
Nobody has to dictate what gets made. Just watch what you enjoy. Politics is not needed here.

@archangell Well, your response only proves my point. And speaking of reading comprehension, I did say Yellowstone was "your thing". There's only one person in this thread with reading comprehension issues ma'am. Sorry I assumed your gender, my bad.

What We Did on Our Holiday

This was an extremely interesting movie. I don't know that I'd categorize it as a comedy, although there were certainly some funny things said/done. It's more of a window into the realities of life and how people handle them. I'm not sure if there's a genre that encompasses movies like that.

I enjoyed a) that it was set in the UK, b) really great acting, especially from the kids...they were very natural, and c) a completely fresh and innovative story (there are so many remakes out there because apparently everyone's out of ideas). The behavior of the adults, and strength and matter-of-factness of the children in the movie caused me several moments of reflection. I actually found add downloaded this app only because I wanted a way to remember this movie long-term.

@misawamandi I think the category this would fall under is "dramedy" or dark comedy.

Black Panther

Sorry folks but this one didn't go well for Marvel. I don't even know where to start. Acting was average, more like below average. Screenplay was as much ordinary as it could be. No surprise here. CGI was OK but it's somehow expected from Marvel. But I totally didn't like the idea of Wakanda. Hidden city in the center of Africa with tons of technology and advanced weapons and systems and so on. But how the hell did they build all of that? No explanation. It just happened. Yes, they have Vibranium, but they don't sell it. In fact they never did and for whole world they are just a bunch of shepherds and farmers. So where did they take all that money to build empire like this? I don't like movies without explanations and this is one of them. Almost nothing has been told about Vibranium whatsoever. Oh yeah, it's some super thing from the universe capable of anything. That's all the explanation you get. There are too many clichés we have already seen too many times. And we have to see them again. One example: I challenge someone for a fight because I want to kill him. And when I have the chance to kill him, what would I do? Kill him or throw him down from the cliff to the water where he can survive? But enough. If you hesitate if to watch this, I can recommend not to waste your time. Wait for the Avangers where you can also see the Black Panther. You won't miss anything if you miss out this movie.

@hlava If you're a Marvel fan, you have to watch it, but I did feel like I was let down by the way that the film was over sold when it came out. I would have liked this more before all the hype, but because I saw it late, the hype blew it for me and it couldn't possibly live up to the expectations.

I really thought this movie did a great job at telling the story that is Motley Crue. I remember when the car wreck happened, I remember when Nikki died and I remember how controversial they were. The 80's were a crazy time and this movie did a great job at representing those excesses. I would highly recommend it.

This was not well done. I watched this because I listed to the podcast The Dropout. If you really want an in depth dive into this story, skip the movie and do the podcast.

@zuretear You're right. I corrected. I conflated the two.

Fatal Affair

wow. I have been a long life fan of Nia Long. This movie is making me rethink my life choices. It was poorly written and the acting was so transparent. Even though I've never seen the movie before I was seeing lines before they did. Terrible. I only gave it to one because there wasn't an option. I guess that's what happens when you need money in Hollywood. Nia you can do better than that girl!

@bruster32 "this movie is making me rethink my life choices" hilarious.

Another Time

A time travel movie where there’s no time travel until the last 20 minutes. It’s a bad movie for other reasons too, but that really seals it.

Black Mirror: 6x03 Beyond the Sea

Wouldn’t it be easier and safer to put the robots (replicas) on the space mission? Like duh? They do not need life support system, food, and physical activity. Would it be nicer if they actual humans stayed in their homes and spend their time with family?

Somehow, the pilot of story twisted to make us watch 80 minutes episode, almost as long as a movie. Just to tell us that we need to take care of our family and loved ones! The only explanation for this movie plot is that the astronauts were already in a long distance space mission and later on, they have decided to make the replicas for their families.

Deep Fake Love

This is possibly the most emotionally manipulative and psychologically damaging concept I can think of for a reality show. It's not fun to watch, it's just awful.

loading replies

@flutterpulse I couldn’t exactly make out the full show from the trailer I saw (no captions) but is this basically deepfaking someone’s s/o in a cheating scene and the person has to guess if it’s real or fake?

Cubed

As of February 2020, the director of the original film, Vincenzo Natali, is rumored to be directing this film, touted as a reboot. I have to agree with the other commenter, however. This film might not be, at least certainly not any time soon, given current events.

In other news, a Japanese remake of the original movie has been filmed and will be released around October of this year.

@otamajakushi Just watched the Japanese remake. It's not great.

Dom & Georgia's faces when they found out :D nobody expected that, even them.
Both Kariselle&Joey, and Chloe&Shayne seem like feasible real-life matches, but I do wonder whether any of those relationships will survive

Mythic Quest: 1x05 A Dark Quiet Death

If you watch just one episode of "Mythic Quest," make it this one. You don't even need to watch the pilot to understand it as it's 100% standalone. Just keep in mind the rest of the show is in a very different tone.

This particular episode is a heartfelt meditation on the power of a creative vision and how time threatens it. It's also really well acted and written. Funny, bittersweet, and surprising.

I gotta wonder if maybe this is the show the creators wanted to make from the get-go but had to compromise their vision until it became "Mythic Quest"...

@triseult makes sense as a way of the writers telling wha5 happened to them while making the show...
