December 26, 20204 yr I'll give it two naps out of 3 (eagles game). Garbage, bad cgi (DCEU: we only do CGI in the dark), a dressing for the prom/first date montage?, action scenes? POS POS POS.
December 29, 20204 yr started watching GOT again and just started the 2nd season. such a great show before season 8.

December 29, 20204 yr FWIW, for any West Wing fans, the stage performance of the Hartsfield's Landing episode by the original cast (RIP John Spencer) was very well done, even if the get out the vote bits were annoying.

On 12/29/2020 at 1:21 PM, Alpha_TATEr said: true, i was hoping to watch GOT in that format, but couldn't wait any longer. I think S07 and S08 each came on the retail market with 4k packaging. S08 100% did and I had to watch Long Night on my 4k TV with my TV on the CORRECT setting of the 4 default modes (standard, dynamic, blah blah) which I think is the one I calibrated... when doing that, I could see MOUNTAINS in the background that never existed before. I could see where the Dothraki horde rides off with flaming swords that extinguish (it shoots to an overhead shot of Dany and Jon on a cliff looking down, and before UHD+4K TV+calibration it was just little lights going out. After all that, I could see the undead army bum rushing them. Anyways, off tangent, the show also re-released S01 on 4k a couple years ago. SINCE THEN, other than S01 and S08 for definite (and maybe S07), NONE of the other seasons have been re-released in 4k... EXCEPT for as an entire series bundle. So I own the first 6 seasons on Blu Ray (and the first 4ish sold as Blu Ray PLUS DVD!!!! bundled together!!!).. then the last 2ish on 4k. So if I wanted to get it all on 4k, I would basically just be duplicating my S07 and S08 4k sets, and I think the 4k series bundle is probably 4K + Blu Ray bundle (as all 4k movies come with the bu ray also from what I've seen over 4 years)... so I would have so much damn duplication, along with ZERO new content as far as I am aware... so that has held me off. Also, I have all 8 seasons on digital. I can't sell or transfer my existing digital library, and not sure if the 4k bundle comes with digital voucher for 1080 or 4k digital copies... so even that is something that I might not even "see" any improvements on if I bought and redeemed (that assuming it lets me redeem and wouldn't give me "you already own this" error message)

I really enjoyed it even though I never watched the West Wing. I'm starting to go back and watch the original episodes now.

Seasons 1-4 are some of the best TV of all time. Seasons 5 and 6 suffer from Sorkin leaving, but then it closes strong with Season 7.
January 5, 20214 yr Yeah I’m working my way through the West Wing. Great show. I’m on season three now. Great writing and back and forth.

Watched S1 of His Dark Materials, entertaining enough, feel like I'm missing some things on the characters, and the accents can be a little difficult, but will start plowing into S2 soon. WW84 - basic CGI heavy super hero movie. Didn't hate it, didn't love it, effectively killed an evening with nothing else better to do.
January 12, 20214 yr The little things movie coming out on Jan 29 looks like it could be pretty good. Denzel makes anything worth watching once.
January 14, 20214 yr His Dark Materials season 2 Spoiler Figures the boy meets his dad and then his dad is killed. Typical lol Wasn't the boy and girl near each other? Shouldn't she have heard the gunshot? The mother keeps giving off vibes that she doesn't care about her daemon The show didn't explain angels. Are they heaven kind of angels?
January 14, 20214 yr Tiger - Some great footage that I don't remember seeing before. One thing I didn't realize is how much of a firecracker Tida is. Seemed like Earl was the driving force, but this portrays her as just as big a force behind the machine.

Definitely changes the way you think about him. And answers some of the questions about his cheating ways.
January 16, 20214 yr Don't think I've seen something of his that I didn't like. He just makes good movies

Never watched it myself though. Thought about giving it a shot cause I like Diggs and Connelly, but I think I'm one of the few people who really hated the movie and have no desire to see more.

January 18, 20214 yr Tiger - Part 2 - I’ve no doubt that he hates this because, obviously, it doesn’t make him look good, but man, the media are shown to be the disgraceful jackals that they are, too.

About 15 minutes later I'm like, still? F this. Nobody has the right to make a boring pilot. Nobody. just finally got HBO Max (/realized my friends login I used for HBO Go works here too) so started back at the beginning of this thread to lurk and see what you guys are watching and this was my exact reaction to this show. I turned it off 20 some minutes in. During a way too long pillow talk scene between a husband and wife. I just couldnt do it. Kinda like you're saying, why am I watching a boring pilot right now? That said I'll keep lurking and if this seems to get enough hype to stay with it I guess I'll go back.

The mother keeps giving off vibes that she doesn't care about her daemon - Some form of self loathing I guess? That thing annoys me. Curious why none of the priests at the Magesterium don't have any cute furry daemons - they're all snakes, spiders, bugs and lizards... The show didn't explain angels. Are they heaven kind of angels? - Guessing we'll be learning more next season. There will be a 3rd and final season of this series.
