Kinda unrelated: I watched The Irishman across 6 viewings. I'm glad I did. 1 uninterrupted attempt would have resulted in a much more negative impression of the film.
We waited until it came out on Apple+ and watched it over 3 nights. So we could get up, stretch, grab a bite, watch other stuff in between, etc, and I'd guess it made the slower moments less snooze-inducing for us.I wouldn't have wanted to sit in a theater 4 hours for that or any other movie. And sure, a half-hour could have been edited out of it easily. That's the case with most long movies. The last episode of this season's Fargo could've been 10 minutes long!We enjoyed the movie more than you did, obviously. I got a lot out of it.Thanks for the tip on American Fiction. Will try to check it out.
Lol, nah that was easily the most boring movie Scorsese has made. Was it visually striking and well acted? Sure, but holy moly the story was a snooze fest. Also, in no way did that need to be three hours long.ymmv but I think if this film is made by a no name director it doesn't get a single Oscar nod outside of acting.American Fiction, on the other hand, was amazing.
Vander pump back 2night lfg!!!
People have paid for paramount+?
Through 3 eps theres nothing really wrong with tD4But its just kinda blahhh. Not very interesting so far.
You loved the scandoval didn't you???
I read the book over the weekend and it was quite good. I am hesitant to see the movie based on a few reviews.
??It's nominated for a bunch of Oscars as well as best adapted screen play.
Finished S03 of Slow Horses.I continue to love Oldman and many of the characters, but dear god, the plot was preposterously stupid, particularly the last two episodes.TLDR: 4 misfit MI5 "agents" kill off 20+ mercenaries with assault weapons and grenades who wear body armor (which apparently came from Walmart, as it doesn't stop a single bullet.)
Thanks for the collective Scoop rec of Slow Horses. The wife and I just finished the first season. We were looking for this genre of show and Gary Goldman is as great as always."Hold on. It's the Proclaimers..."And the Mick Jagger theme song will be stuck in my head for weeks.
It’s a puff piece, so there is no mention at all of what I assume fueled that mid-80s all-night recording session.
Noble intentions, altruism, and pride in doing something for others.
Exactly. More than anything, the 80s are known for the prevalent selflessness.
