Kolek planning to go pro
Judas and the Black Messiah.I hope the 3 leads enjoy their Oscar nominations. Great film, go watch it.
Rewatching a bunch of old Survivor seasons. Some of it has not aged well but forgot how much fun the show used to be.Watched religiously every week from seasons 1-20.
It has been until recently the gold standard for reality competition shows. Why would you stop watching at S20? I mean i get it that next few were a bit of a drag, but it's still better than 90% of what's out there. Probably still my favorite TV show.
Just started Gangs of London. British show picked up by AMC. Originally noticed it cause Joe Cole, John Shelby from Peaky Blinders is a lead. Stacked cast. Colm Meaney, Michelle Fairley (Cat Stark from GOT), and a couple other notable British actors you’d recognize.Covers the interplay of a various organized crime families in modern day London. The cinematography is BREATHTAKING. The opening shot/scene is incredibly intense and impressive. I’m through the double episode (1&2) that started it out. It’s fairly violent, but it’s shot so well that it doesn’t come off grotesque. There have been 2 fight scenes that are probably the most impressive I’ve seen outside of a movie, including the camera work, choreography, and pacing, very British in feel (like a classic caper film) but gorgeously done. I’m hooked
I still love it as well.Seasons 31,33,37 and 40 are excellent within the last 10.And 30 is a beautiful trainwreck of a group.
Wait ... there have been 40 seasons of Survivor?
More of a timing thing than anything. Think Heroes vs. Villains was my senior year of high school or just before?Didn’t watch hardly any network television through college/grad school. Picked Surviovr back up again during season 36.
Agree on all of that. I have heard the rewatch of 37 while knowing the outcome makes you enjoy it much more. I may have to do that soon if this 3' of snow doesn't melt. I heard they are just about to start filming again here soon so it should be back this fall.
Yup. Up until Covid they did (outside of the first couple) 2 seasons a year. Still wins it time slot. It's sort like the Springsteen or Pearl Jam of shows. Fan base isn't growing much but there is a very devoted and engaged group that love it.
It seems to me that Survivor is tailor made for production in a COVID bubble.
Just watched Nomadland.As usual, Frances McDormand was brilliant. And the concept was unique and interesting.But for those who like action films, this ain't your flick. It is a nice, quiet, beautifully filmed, reflective portrait of one person in particular and a group of people in general. Well worth watching, but I recommend not being tired when you watch it.
Finally got around to Ted Lasso. Wow, what a charming, endearing, delightful show. Truly a joyful experience.
