The_Omega Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I won’t go so far as to call Lasso great, but, by the end of the first season, I loved it. And, if Juno Temple is anything like her character in real life, I think I love her too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched 10 minutes of it and thought it was the dumbest premise for a show I'd ever seen. That includes "Small Wonder" which previously held that distinction . You’re quitting too early. give it two episodes On 6/22/2021 at 1:44 PM, Gannan said: I've heard other people rave about Lasso.

Justin Timberlake plays an ex con who moves back to his small Louisiana town after doing his time. He struggles to find work and reclaim his life but befriends and young boy with a drug addict mom and gender identity issues ***Trigger Warning**** I thought it was pretty good. The acting was really good and it was kind of a touching story. Kept my interest the whole way through and definitely worth a watch. Watched it today and I second this. Explaining the plot makes it seem extremely boring yet watching it was entertaining. Acting from everyone was well done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard of this film (is it streaming somewhere) but I have been team JT ever since he made a Britney Spears diss track and from any acting standpoint I was positively entertained by his character/acting in Alpha Dog (which may be my first time watching/noticing @jrsu37's boy Ben Foster in a film) and enjoyed seeing his performances since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanMeanGM Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Watched "Cherry" last night. Tom Holland movie where he goes to the army, comes home and becomes a drug addict because of PTSD and robs banks. Acting was very well done, but the direction of the movie kinda felt all over the place. Worth a watch, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would dare call it "rewatchable" as well, due to how long it is and the different parts of the main characters life we spend time in. Not an elite movie by any stretch. But a fun time with one of the most well recognized actors today diving into a pretty wild role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved In Time with JT also. I know it's got horrible ratings, but it has a kinda B movie Children of Men + Blade Runner thing going that I just really dug. Also Ben Foster in that movie was intense AF...Alpha Dog was a great movie. Uneasy subject matter and all seeing as how it's based on true events, but it was a dang good movie. Speaking of...Wonder why Emile Hirsch just kinda stopped acting while he was still ascending. He was compiling a great catalog of work then just...Disappeared.

mikemack8 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 According to Wikipedia he's been in a bunch of movies just nothing really mainstream (save OUATIH) He apparently choked out some movie executive lady a couple years back so that might have something to do with him not landing big roles anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrsu37 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Daniele Bernfield her name...She fine bruh. Wonder what she did to make lil dude that mad. Conflicting stories as you'd expect I guess.

I remember in OUATIH his name was "Jay" something... he was referred to as Sharon's ex that was like a Polanski doppleganger.

LeanMeanGM Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 It did seem like Hirsch just started taking whatever roles he could get. Autopsy of Jane Doe and Freaks aren't that old, but definitely just your typical Netflix movies. I saw the other day he was in some 2020 movie with Mel Gibson but didn't watch it.

mikemack8 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Defending Jacob - meh. Slow pace, probably could have been 5 episodes instead of 8. Wasn't a big fan of the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some people complaining about it vs the book ending Spoiler Book ending is the girl in Mexico is found dead, making it seem more likely that Jacob is actually a killer. Mom then crashes her car on purpose and kills Jacob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom then crashes her car on purpose and kills Jacob I think that would have been better just because there's at least some closure that way. Spoiler Did you think he was the killer? They did a great job of keeping it very ambiguous on the show - sounds like the book made him seem more guilty. I'm on the fence, but I'm leaning towards he did it.

Also there was only two suspects the whole time, so just the lack of options leads me to believe he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
