I watched Friday night and enjoyed it a lot. Love how they paid extra attn to characters like, Tony’s mother, Uncle Junior, and Dickie Moltisanti. Thought Ray Liotta was horrible as the Moltisanti twins, IMO. I almost feel like there could be an additional prequel made. I really need to watch this again.

I like it alot but I thought it was going to be a different type of story more on Tony. In reality it's about all the people around him and pretty much how they were manipulative to the family before Tony even came to the realization of wanting to be in power.

This is why I’m wondering if they might have another one “in the chamber” further depicting his character from HS until he begins to ascend to power 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Squid Game was excellent. One of the best debut seasons of a show I've seen in years. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very well-made, with great writing and acting. We'll see how the rest of the season goes, but so far it's been really good. On 9/3/2021 at 4:58 PM, Bad Things said: Yeah, same here. I felt that way when I typed it! I've heard of her before, but never heard her sing or see her act. It was a pleasant surprise.

On episode 5 and really enjoying it. Same re: Selena Gomez but liking the character depth & her comedic delivery and the mix of boomer & sardonic-millennial interplay. Has a lot of artistry that might be rewarded come awards time. Yeah, Steve Martin kinda dropped off the acting & comedy map for quite awhile in pursuit of his banjo stuff. Don’t know the backstory there. Similar to Chevy Chase wrt depression? Nice to see a return and hoping🤞🏼for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a Chevy Chase drop in to make a Three Amigos joke/reference but doubt it would happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how everything is shot, acted, and looking into a different culture as part of the background. Anyway. The Squid Game is great. 3 Episodes in and I like it. There are so many good movies out of South Korea. The Man from Nowhere Burning I Saw The Devil Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance Oldboy These are just a few, great content from Korea if you don’t mind subtitles.

My son was big on Korean movies and gave me a list to watch. The Chaser Memories of Murder The Chase The Admiral: Roaring Currents -- Based on a battle in Korean history He also gave me an odd Japanese movie - Departures. It is about how the Japanese handle funerals, I found the cultural take on this very interesting. The tough thing about these is finding them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I know about Japanese funerals is that they wear all white and not black to them. Everything is pretty much 180 degrees the opposite in that culture, which is why I've been fascinated by it since I was a young teenager. I'll check out "Departures." Thanks!

Max Fischer Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I highly recommend "Stranger," a Korean mystery on Netflix. It's very complex with 16 one hour episodes. However, it's very involving and every episode is good. It's about a district attorney who lost his sense of empathy and a detective who doesn't get respect from her peers. Very well done, great characters and plot. Unfortunately, I could not get into the second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know anything about it and you like good and really unique storylines and great acting, watch it. The creator/director also did Haunting of Hill House. It's a bit of a slow burn, but it's amazing. Also... plenty of social commentary mixed in there... specifically of a religious nature.
