The TV and Streaming Thread: That's Entertainment!
Hurlshort replied to LadyCrimson's topic in Way Off-Topic
I enjoyed American Primeval quite a bit. Reminded me of Revenant in that it really depicted the brutality of life on the frontier and how difficult the elements were. One of the actors remarked that they shot on site and the weather did 90% of the work, because they didn't have to act miserable. While not super historically accurate, it shone light on an interesting time in history. One that I'm sure the Morman church would rather we all forget. -
Looking for game recommendations (party based game)

Battle Brothers is the way. -

I had no interest in watching American Primeval until I read the Morman church called it dangerously misleading. Now I am dying to watch it. -
I love GoG and prefer it for purchases, but Galaxy still sucks for me. I mean it works, but it has some weird updating error that never seems to get fixed. It's also just not that easy to navigate. But I still use it for a couple reasons: 1. I love the preservation of classic titles 2. My son has taken over my Steam account.

Cinema and Movie Thread: coming 2 a theater near u
Hurlshort replied to PK htiw klaw eriF's topic in Way Off-Topic
I've watched a few movies recently. American Underdog - The Kurt Warner story. This story is actually one of the most fascinating in sports, so the fact they turned it into a fairly average hallmark movie is disappointing. Is it a football flick? A romance? A christian movie? Kurt Warner is pretty one dimensional and Zach Levi plays him as such, so I think they needed to go broader to make this a better movie. Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - Sooo good. Nic Cage plays himself as an unreliable narrator and it breaks a bunch of rules. Very absurd and fun. Back in Action - Cameron Diaz and Jaime Foxx had a lot of chemistry in this action flick. Two former spies deal with their teenagers. The teenage issues were extremely well written. As parents of two teenagers, I felt like the writers had taken notes on our daily stuggles. It was fun and set up well for a sequel. The kids outacted Cameron Diaz, but it doesn't matter. It was fun to see her back in action. -

I would think the fact her husband is directing would be the main indicator that it will be exactly as expected. She still looks fantastic, though. I'll watch it when it comes out on streaming. I thought Bautista was all into serious acting stuff now? -

That was a fun read majestic. I am surprised how much of that I still remember. -

The whole appointment television time was such a fascinating phenomenon. I mean it existed for decades, of course, but mostly in the sitcom format that didn't have long-term stakes. It really ramped up right before the end with shows like LOST, Survivor, and American Idol. The whole country would sit down on a certain night and have to watch these shows to keep up with the storyline. Such a strange time. -
It will most definitely be on Gamepass. It is supposed to be one of their big titles, so playing it there should reflect well on Obsidian.

I just played it recently and stalled about 20 hours in. It was interesting at first, but I lost interest quickly. Alternatively, I've jumped back into Hogwarts Legacy. I bought this on the PC and never got into it, although both my kids loved it and took over all the save slots. I got a PS5 for Xmas, and decided I wanted to see how it looked and played on my big TV. It made a difference. I'm loving it right now and have pushed past my previous game easily. I think it lends itself well to a controller and a giant 4k screen.

I don't know how anyone watched Lost and expected anything other than a buddhist afterlife type ending. I thought it was good. It isn't a show I would re-watch, but it was an interesting time in TV history. -
9 years is a very long time. I don't understand this idea that it is healthy to have one person entrenched in a powerful position for a long time. Turnover is good.

Grounded also came out around the same time, and it seems like that has been getting consistent updates, so they haven't been too quiet. But I'm excited that we will probably see both Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 in the next year or so.

Juror #2 was problematic for me because it was a pretty weak story. I mean anytime a movie plot can collapse if the central character just did the right thing, I have trouble connecting. We are supposed to connect with the character, but if he was really a good person, the movie would have been over in 5 minutes. The acting was great though. I wanted an epilogue for JK Simmons. He should have been the central character. -
Ricky Henderson. I feel like he barely retired a couple years ago. He was a legend and I hope they build a statue of him whwen the A's finally come back to Oakland.

I watched that Superman trailer on mute and it looked like a lot of other movies. But maybe James Gunn will make it fun. Do they expect this to do well in theaters? -
I appreciated Ciri a lot more after the Netflix show. Freya Allan literally grew up in between season 1 and 2 and it was a fantastic way to develop that character. It made me enjoy the Ciri parts of Witcher 3 more. Granted, I don't actually like Geralt.
