Re: Netflix Suggestions?
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.

Did…did… you make a point about ripping off a movie posting a prominent example of ripping off a movie?
My gall is sufficiently mitigated. Thank you for your concern.

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.

Loving "One Piece" - the live action version. It is a lot of fun and looks absolutely incredible.

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.

Has anyone watched "Captains Of The World"? The "drive to survive" style doc series about the Qatar World Cup.
I watched the first episode, and its pretty good.

I got confused, because there's one that came out about a year ago that focuses on qualifying.

I've been really into Jon Batiste's music lately, and just watched this: https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/ ... -cast-news. It's an emotional one but he comes across so impressive.

We watched the doc about the making of "We Are The World" last night, and its fun.
Still can't figure out how the hell Dan Ackroyd was included, though.

Re: Netflix Suggestions?
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.

The Beautiful Game is a traditional feel good sports story. But it is better than most garbage disney sports comeback stories.

Obliterated.....stupidly fun Jack Ryan/24/etc type show based in Vegas. Turn off your brain and enjoy
Re: Netflix Suggestions?
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.

So I need to buy more gummies before I watch part 2. Noted.

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.

Morning. I can’t believe they slaughtered the space EMTs and I can’t believe they set it up for more movies.

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.
Re: Netflix Suggestions?
Just finished the seventh and last episode of Bodkin, starring Will Forte. Pretty fun watch, though not great or anything.

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.
