Kolek planning to go pro
Nobody has mentioned Squid games yet unless I missed it. Horrifying but binge worthy and very disturbing but entertaining
We just finished Midnight Mass on Netflix. I liked it and some of the twists to a classic horror story I thought were very creative.
Cool, I’m intrigued by that one. Was coming here to ask about it. Hard to think that’s Matt Saracen from Friday Night Lights.
We enjoyed the S3 premier of Succession. Interesting frenetic pacing right on the heels of the events that closed out S2 and battle lines being drawn.
Totally agree. It was a thoroughly entertaining Ep 1, and we're looking forward to what the rest of the season has in store.My only nit: I guess it would have killed them to open with a "last season on Succession" recap! Thankfully, we had re-watched S2 not that long ago.
Funny that you should mention that. I felt the same way. Then, when listening to a podcast they specifically mentioned the recap. When I pulled S3E1 up on my phone, it included a very good 2.5 minute "Previously on Succession" recap. I don't know why it didn't play when I watched the episode on the TV at home. I wonder if I did something with preferences that turned off the "Previously on..." recaps.
Just finished watching the first episode of the Docuseries "Bad Sport". It was about the ASU point-shaving scandal, and it was very good.The crazy thing is that the people involved may have never gotten caught if they hadn't gotten so greedy or otherwise made some incredibly stupid mistakes.
I think about this almost every time I watch a movie/show about drug dealers. Things usually start off pretty great, until they decide to expand into a rival's turf or they start having to smuggle massive amounts of product. I'm like you're literally sitting on stacks of money! You made $200,000 last month, why do you feel this urgent need to increase it tenfold?? Don't get caught up in a war or get yourself on the FBI's radar, you goof. /rant
I could say the same thing about virtually any wildly lucrative capitalist enterprise. Bezos, you're "wealthier than most countries," why the imperative to force your employees to pee in bottles to squeeze every last scrap of margin out of the process? When maximization of profit/wealth/shareholder value/drug empire is the ends, then the means are naturally going to go further and further, no?
Just finished The Hunters on Prime. Now watching Goliath.
Cause its not a stable business. There really isn't a "I found a nice niche, so I can be content and make decent bank". Its dog eat dog, so if you're not actively expanding, you're having to defend against others expansion or coming for your market. Basically until you're big enough to hold it down, but then, you're a size that you're on every law enforcement agency's radar.
Watched episode one... my wife is afraid of scary movies so who knows if we will ever finish it.
