Sounds like the story of your life!

The show does a good job of capture the time era. I watch it and think, “yes, that is exactly how it was!”

A bit. Overall it’s only real point was there was a black marshal.

I’m rewatching Longmire.

I vaguely remember the "Talented Mr. Ripley" movie with Jude Law, Matt Damon and Gwynneth Paltrow.

Limited (8 episode) series on Netflix.

We’re starting We Were The Lucky Ones on Hulu tonight.

Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart. Unless you’re @Aqua-Letifer , don’t even bother looking it up. And Aqua? I’m a little pissed you never told me it was out.

I have mixed feelings. Haven't seen it yet, but the show went a little too mainstream for me in the past few seasons. I hope they bring it with the movie, though.

It was a semi-solid finish. It felt very much like the previous season. It really felt like they just wanted to round things off and answer a few final questions.

As far as going mainstream, I don’t know about that. I think most of that feeling comes from mainstream itself moving. I mean, it started in 2003, predating shows like Rick and Morty by over a decade… And the outrageous characters will lose their outrageousness by repetition. Brock was frigging outstanding, but within 3-4 episodes, you had his shtick. That was true for pretty much all the characters. The idea that the kids were clones that kept dying was great at first, but the shtick also grew old. So at some point it actually evolves into filling in the holes of the story that the audience walked into the middle of.. they filled in all of the plot holes, satisfactorily.

I saw Pulp Fiction on the flight out here. First time seeing it since it was in the theatre.

I had forgotten how well crafted that movie is.

A few scenes would be hard to imagine now, like Quentin repeatedly saying the N word.

Sugar and We Were The Lucky Ones. Will start One Life tonight probably.

Watched Girl on the Train last night. Started actively despising it after the first 30 minutes, which were artistically crafted and incomprehensible. Then in hindsight, just overwrought and needlessly convoluted to tell an uncomplicated story. Which sucked anyway.

As opposed to Running Train on a Girl, which I did not watch last night, nor ever.

[Jolly]

Went back and caught one I didn't get to when it came out. It's different.

That was partly filmed in the village next to mine. I’ve never seen it. The movie that is.

[George K]

Hay @Mik ! Is "Sugar" any good?

[Mik]

Yeah, good characters, very film noir. Writing a bit implausible, but it just keeps getting more and more complicated.

Just watched E1 of The Gentlemen on NF. Freaking hilariously dark.

It was a really solid "meh" for me.
