It made Sepinwall's year end list so it was on my radar, but the rass endorsement moves it up the pecking order.
It's possible I started watching it because of his initial raves. Circle of life.

Hope Zack Snyder writes himself a good script someday, cause he sure gets a lot of money to make cool looking movies that are just otherwise silly.

Watching ‘The Recruit’ on Netflix with my dad and brother. It’s pretty good so far (3 episodes in). 8 episodes for S1, and apparently S2 is in the oven.

how did the white bad guy become such a good fighter? He pretty much dominated the best samurai and held his own against the two best fighting him at the same time.

10 years or whatever it was of hanging out in that castle and having nothing to do but become an expert at whatever he turned his mind to.

Currently watching Loudermilk. It took a few episodes, but I'm really liking it. Ron Livingston playing a cranky AA meeting leader, created by one of the Farrelly brothers and originally aired on something called Audience, that I think was a DirectTV channel. Very low budget show with a bunch of weird sad sap characters.

Watched the first half of the mini-series, “Who is Erin Carter?” tonight with my dad before I drive back north tomorrow.

It’s solid. If you’re dating/married to a woman who likes action flicks with female heroes? She’ll love this.

I got confused, because there's one that came out about a year ago that focuses on qualifying. Finally realized this one is new and, yes, E1 is pretty good.

Still can't figure out how the hell Dan Ackroyd was included, though.

Merle Haggard saying "yeah, I'm outta here" was funny.

So just watched the trailer for Unfrosted (Jerry Seinfeld movie around the invention of the pop tart). Wow lots of celebs showing up but man that looks worse than Bee Movie. The trailer makes me think it was as if he watched the pool party seem from the Weird Al movie (Harry Potter as weird Al was surprisingly fun) and decide to do 90 minutes of just that.

  • Pep is a lunatic genius
  • Jack Grealish is a genial lunk head.

The stuff about Sheila E and Prince was almost funny, but I kind of felt bad that she felt used. I mean, c'mon Sheila, you really think they're gonna have you do a solo/duet if it's not with Prince?

so part two of the Rebel Moon was just as bad as part 1....except it did not look as cool.
cool.

Zach Snyder should be penalized for lazy writing of laser swords, big space ships that shoot back at the planets, quirky robot with personality, "rebels vs Motherworld", insider who goes to the rebels. Only thing missing is some puppet sized aliens.

A Man In Full is not bad. I read the book a long time ago and don't remember it too well (other than the horse stable thing, Atlanta, and it being a long one). Tom Wolfe gets a bit of an easier review for his sartorial splendor and being a w&l grad.

I hated Ripley. Pretentious overlong black and white horseshit that looked like it was directed by a freshman film major thinking he's creating wonderful art by overextending every scene so we could see how artistic he is by focusing on statues and a cat over and over.

Funny, when this thread popped up I was thinking of posting about this show. I really like Forte and I'm also a podcast nerd, so I liked it just fine. Like you said, it's note gonna blow the roof off, but it's a fun and interesting show.

Being of Irish descent, I enjoyed the various characters they trotted out. But, I have to say, they almost went too far with the lead actress and her unlikeability. I understand the point of the character, but there were moments where I wanted her to get run over by a bus.
