Just watched The Lego Movie earlier tonight. I went into it thinking it’s just a kids’ movie, probably not much for substance. But I was pleasantly surprised! For what’s essentially a giant ad for Lego, the movie has no business being actually that good. 10/10, thoroughly enjoyed it.
It’s a very good movie, had the same experience as you a few years ago
I watched “Dark Matter” on apple-tv. Expected lame-ass speudo-science bullshit-bingo with bad acting but got a short series with some surprises, interesting takes, smooth story-telling and only little bad acting :D
Would give it a 7 out of 10 and would recommend if you are into easy-to-follow sciency drama stuff.
If you enjoy hard science fiction, I highly recommend The Expanse.
Been rewatching it from the start again. Currently on S5. It’s pretty much made all other sci-fi (certainly that set in space) redundant for me. Everything else looks naff and amateurish.
The audiobooks narrated by Jefferson Mays are a treat too, and we get the complete, rich story at the end that they tried to squeeze in and hint at but couldn’t do right in the series (IMO).
Yes they are.
I started watching Twin Peaks this week. It’s been in my backlog for ages but a podcaster I like mentioned it and I decided to jump it to the front of the queue. I’ve only just finished season 1 but I like it a lot. It has a lot of the surreal vibes that David Lynch is so good at. Kyle MacLachlan character is very fun
Absolutely excellent show. Don’t forget to slip Fire Walk With Me between season 2 and 3!
I’m unfamiliar. Is that like a film or special? Can you explain what it is without spoilers?
It’s a movie, and part of the overall story. It was the original “end” to the series, in a sense, before season 3 was made.
Shetland, almost the whole season 6. One episode left for later, and 2 seasons overall.
Love British crime shows.
Another low tv week. Watched parts of the opening ceremony, but the rest was via YouTube again. Tasting history, and interviews done by Rick Beato. Specifically the interviews with the members of The Police, but also caught one with Tim Henson that was surprisingly interesting.
That’s it though, I’ve been too busy to watch anything else
Not last week but the latest movie I have watched is godzilla minus one
For anime I have watched its a mix of yuri, slice of life and comedy
Woo the Extraordinary Lawyer. I’m only at the first episode, but it’s already very good.
Gundam Wing. I remember it being promoted on Toonami back in the day but only managed to see a few episodes and its serial nature made it hard to follow the plot. The animation quality’s still really great thanks to its art direction.
Watched the Korean movie Wonderland on netflix last night. It was pretty good, but like many korean movies/series, the ending wasn’t great. I like how they seemed to be showing
Spoiler
the perils of AI technology on human relationships, especially with how it was being used
then proceed to end the movie with
Spoiler
the AI becoming a hero, and never acknowledging how evil of a company and product it was.
Just porn. Nothing worth watching.
Try non american stuff, american stuff has been falling to shit just like the country and its only saving grace is Harris
I watched Sword of the Stranger last night. It was pretty good if you like samurai animes.
