What are we watching now?

I’m a few episodes in with Severance. I had no idea what to expect from this show. Given that Adam Scott is the lead actor, I honestly expected it to be more comical, and less Sci-fi and/or thriller.

I ended my tolerance break last night, smoking a bowl before watching Episode 4, and that shit hit me hard. Just the whole feel of the show, down to the color pallet, is very uncomfortable and though provoking.

Definitely worth a watch!

Old Man and Severance in the queue now. Sorry, Penny.

Why is queue such a fucked up word? Is there a more fucked up word in the English
language than queue?

I haven't watched The Wire, Game Of Thrones, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office,
Arrested Development, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and damn
near every other lauded TV show/series from the last 20 years.

Apparently, because I was too busy memorizing every line from every episode
of The Big Bang Theory.

That or just checking out Kaley's Cuocos.

Necrophilia?

We just watched The Good Neighbor. That was a clever script. I thought the directing was okay, the acting by James Caan was great as always, and the kids were okay. I thought the kids were lacking character or any really compelling feel, which weakened the film because they're given so much screen time. It was worth seeing, but it felt overall like a good tv episode, not a great film.

Last night we watched The Lost Boys. It's probably the millionth time I've seen it, and it never stops being awesome and funny. "My own brother, a god-damned shit sucking vampire. Oh, you wait till Mom finds out!" Kiefer Sutherland said at one point that, for all the work he's done, this is the performance that people bring up the most, and it's the one where he's on screen the most with the fewest number of lines!

Lots of horror movies. Tons and tons of horror movies. I tend to watch a lot of horror anyways, as I have been a fan since I was a kid, but my girlfriend and I have been watching a ton the past two months because it is Halloween season.

Territory - an Aussie show derivative of Yellowstone and Succession. The drone camera work over the land is stunning, but I'll wait and see with the show and characters.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show. God, I love that film; it is the epitome of counter culture. I only wish the audio engineering were less painful!

Watched Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Thought I commented in here about it but I didn't? They did a great job overall. Burton is great and Keaton is one of my all time faves. I had worries/concerns on this but it turned out pretty good.

Watched the new Deadpool/Wolverine flick as well. It was fine and had some funny moments but I think I have hit my limit with the Ryan Reynolds SchtickTM. He's a little too high on his own fumes at this point.

Started watching Like A Dragon: Yakuza, based on the Yakuza video games.

A few episodes in, I think they have done a great job with the aesthetic but missed the mark on what makes the Yakuza games special. The Yakuza games are one of my all time favorites because they combine a usually very convoluted, dead serious yakuza main plot with side quests that range from heartfelt to hilarious.

The TV show basically focuses only on the main plot of Yakuza 1, while putting too much time into fleshing out the past of the characters when none of that is important. As far as actor choices, they have a pretty solid Nishiki and a good Majima who has some of the crazy down. Kiryu as the main character I'm not totally sold on, but he's growing on me.

Just saw Christine for the second time. This to me is John Carpenter in his prime, and just as good is Keith Gordon, whose acting is so goddamn good I forgot I was watching a horror movie. I loved just about everything about this film.
