Any other opinions? So far season 3 seems a bit slow. The very bizarre drug/hallucination scenes seem a bit out of place, combined with the casino scene with the singer, felt like I was watching a David Lynch film e.g. Twin Peaks. Am American and do like the addition of Dennis Quaid and Beau Bridges. Dennis overacts a bit. Also like Paul Williams and William Hurt from previous seasons who have made short appearances so far. The backdrop of the central valley of California changes the feel from previous seasons filmed in and around Venice, CA IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newatthis Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 20 hours ago, Will27 said: I thought the first 2 series were excellent. Season 3 has been a disappointment so far. If the finale to S3 is anything to go by, there'll defintely be a S4. S1 was good and reminded me of "The Rainmaker." S2 lost me a bit with the amputee / porno sub plot. Native American mysticism / drugs took up a lot of S3. If you were going to watch this show to see the 'little guy" triumph in legal battles, you would be sadly disappointed. It seems to be a study in deceit, more deceitful and most deceitful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some innane controversy over the casting, the leading "role" is gay but the actress is not, so there is a campaign to score it low. 250+ reviews in a couple of days shows that something is amiss.

CLW Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Recently watched in the theatre:It (part 2). Not as good as the first part but still good horror.Ad astra. Beside a weak story and too much focus on main actor Brad Pitt the realism and effects are amazing. Compare it to 2001-A Space Odyssey but with up to date effects. Watched in Imax it was absolutely great images. Weathering with you. Japanese anime from the same studio that made "Your name" in 2016 and also same artist Radwimps for the soundtrack. Nice and easy movie with great drawings and animations of Tokyo. Freaks. Surprising twist in the story and very good acting from the young girl main actress. Also something new besides all the remakes and new parts.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recom273 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Mr Robot returned last night for a 4th series - I was a little bored with the last, so the verdicts still open.The Unicorn - i wasn’t really going to post this, it’s a rom-com series, it features a cast of actors outside of their usual roles, still in e02, it holds my attention - Walter Goggins, Omar Benson and Rob Corddry (from ballers) Just saw Shaft last night on Netflix, the subtitles were good, the wife caught all the jokes, so it was a good watch for me, although a little cheesy.

Watched Scarborough instead. Yes, it started off very good, but by ep4 I was exasperated because it's trying too hard to be an involving story. It just seems a bit too convoluted, too 'clever'. I'll have a butchers at ep 5; I hope it's more coherent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Sons if Anarchy he was hilarious. May give the Unicorn a try since you say it is watchable. Tried watching The Righteous Gemstones, because of Walter and others in the cast, but was disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
