TheRinger has it as a top movie As someone with a pretty solid history of watching movies, I have missed a lot of old films, including CK, so until I watch that I get the impression this film will not hit as hard... so my answer is not yet!

My verdict... weird, boring, snooze fest. I also hate Citizen Kane. I had to watch it about 30 times in college and write multiple papers on it. So that may have negatively impacted my enjoyment of the film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a film maker's circle jerk with the lighting and angles and story structure as an homage to CK. I always applaud historical fiction that doesn't dumb down the point of view for a modern audience so even more points. Buuuut. Yeah its boring as F. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a pattern there for a while where a lot of their big shows were getting 2 seasons and the third would be announced as the last. I think they figured out in their algorithm that shows would cost more after season 2 because they don't bring new subscribers in past that point.

Actors tend to want a new contract if it's a hit after 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'm currently engulfed in Manhunter: Deadly Games. I never saw the 1st season. Once you get through the 1st couple of episodes, this show gets INCREDIBLE! I watched 7 episodes last night and am gonna finish tonight. This show is written really really well, and the bomb expert that works for ATF is an awesome actor. Don't read the spoiler if you haven't seen. Spoiler This show is a total mindF. I really believed this lunatic serial bomber was religious and doing all this for a cause, then boom........his psychosis is displayed right in front of you.

The_Omega Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I thought The Midnight Sky was pretty good. It was uneven, but when it was good, it was really good. I was wondering why he didn’t show what happened to the girl at the end, but then it occurred to me, we already know what happened. Ava was turrible. Even by the standard of petite women physically dominating wave after wave of trained male soldiers, this one was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler I thought it was stupid as hell that they allowed the 2 guys to travel back to Earth to basically commit suicide. There's no way they give up 1 of only 2 spacecraft for that one way trip That was a ton of blood coming from the one woman. They never said what happened except it was a puncture wound which kind of annoyed me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler And it's not even like he quickly got out. He swam trying to catch the medic bag and even paused while watching it sink further and further down. His body should have gone into shock when he fell in Also how did the girl survive a suit that was punctured long enough to pause outside and be taken inside? And why was that her first space walk? How/Why was she even in space if she can't stop puking? What's funny is that Clooney was in Gravity which was pretty accurate and then goes into this movie lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
