Special K Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Fargo season 4 started this week on FX...one of my favorites for sure. Anyone watching Nurse Ratched on Netflix? Halfway through it, and it’s interesting so far. Edited September 29, 2020 by Special K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I got sucked in and i regret it....while i have a soft spot for the whole franchise...these cobra kai shows are so contrived and filled with horrible acting...ralph machio and that Aisha chick leading the pack. Billy Zabco is really the only one who is displaying any acting chops whatsover, and he is the only bright spot. But alas i got sucked in and finished Season 2 last night, and that rumble scene is one of the most ridiculous several moments in cinematic history...there was just so much wrong with that whole scene. But i will watch season 3 when it comes out...but i will do it begrudgingly On 9/20/2020 at 6:56 AM, Teddy KGB said: There is no fear in this dojo !!! All in on Cobra Kai.

The Poojer Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 finally watched Dave Chappelle Sticks and Stones....he is pretty damned close to being this generations George Carlin. Unlike Carlin, he tells stories that he makes his own, Carlin gave bullet points. Unlike most other comics, Chappelle doesn't go to the lowest common denominator to get a laugh. It took me a while to get on board with him but he just keeps delivering on some pretty funny and very thought provoking schitt!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not Orson Welles in Citizen Kane— but they are all solid actors. I was actually surprised Zabka is so good, since I wasn’t sure he had acted much beyond KK 1. by the way, just re-watched another favorite movie of mine— Bloodsport. Now if you want to talk about bad acting, Jean Claude Van Dam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Anyone watching "Lovecraft Country" on HBO? I think we watched the first 3 episodes and then gave it the yank.

Never knew that NASA was so haphazard in their decision making at the time, of course I was in middle school at the time but remember the moment like my generations JFK. I second this recommendation - it was an excellent documentary - 4 42-minute episodes so easy to watch. I like how they spent time really telling you about who the astronauts were - as you might expect, these were very interesting and talented people - really drives home what we all lost.

Not from the NJ/NYC area but sounds like something I might be interested in Action Park was an amusement park outside on NYC in northern NJ. They ran ads that showed all the fun and exciting things you could do - a water park with a rope swing, jumping off high manmade cliffs into the water, and alpine slide, go carts, etc. They offered all these things, but didn't care much for safety. Park was staffed by 15 year old kids. They built some rides like a looping waterslide not with engineers, but by taking somebody's idea, building it and doing some of trial and error. It was jokingly called "Class Action Park" because so many people got hurt there and potentially sued. Several people actually died. The documentary goes through all of this but the stories are told by people who went as teens and "survived" so it's somewhat funny but pretty shocking - entertaining.

I think I picked up on a clue in episode 3 that the son Chris Rock’s character left with the Italians is going to turn out to be Mike Milligan from season 2. The Irish kid the Italians put in charge of looking after his son has the last name Milligan....that can’t be a coincidence, right? You know how the writers of this show like to connect characters from previous seasons together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely falls in the "weird" category, but it's produced well, has an interesting story with plenty of twists, good action, good music and solid acting.

I am glad it is a stand alone series— don’t have to worry about cliff hangers and dragging the series out to the point where you lose interest. It’s supposed to end cleanly, from what I have read.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Just finished Queen’s Gambit on Netflix. Overall, a very solid 7-part show.
