There are sooo many good one-liners in that movie!

Been on a slow Hackman run as of late. Watched Get Shorty the other night (FANTASTIC 90's crime comedy). Great flick, even if it screams 90s at the top of it's lungs. Watched Crimson Tide last night for (I think?) the first time? Killer cast and overall great flick as well. Hackman was excellent in both. Not sure what's next as I have seen most everything of his worth seeing.

What's The Package? The Conversation is awesome.

Crimson Tide, The Package, and The Conversation are all great. To see a different side of what he was capable of, I highly recommend Power from 1986.

Cold War stuff. It's a very cool one.

I thought about re-watching Twilight (no; not that one!) with Newman and Sarandon as I remember really digging it.

I usually watch that for one reason…well…two.

You forgot James Garner, which is the real draw there, though Susan Sarandon isn't rough on the eyes.I thought about re-watching Twilight (no; not that one!) with Newman and Sarandon as I remember really digging it.

Yeah, that's what ruined Lost for me in the end. It was enjoyable junk food for most of its running time. But after a while you realized it had meandered a lot - too far - and was going to have no choice but to cop out with an "everything is imagined" device of some kind.
I haven't finished watching Severance yet, but I think it's significantly smarter than that. There's a lot going on in the way of social commentary and metaphor. Whether that's your bag is another question entirely. It's sometimes painfully slow and dry, but in a plainly intentional way that's both uncomfortable and comedic. Kafkaesque, maybe? Rewarding stuff if you can get through it.

He was also in a TV series called Party Down - another comedy. But I think his comedy chops translate well in Severance. He has resting "WTF is happening" face that always seems appropriate here, all things considered.

I actually enjoyed the first handful of episodes best, when it was still seen entirely from the innie's perspectives. When the story inevitably started to open up and "explain itself" - and even more so when the season ended and I realized IRL writers were probably making up their minds about the direction - I started to worry. I feel like this could have been a very effective ~6 episode mini-series, but apparently they're going the distance. Let's hope it doesn't turn into the Matrix Trilogy or something.
(P.S. I actually liked the first Season of HOTD, but the second... I don't even really remember watching it? GOT ending was weak, but not to the extent that I regret watching the show or anything.)
GOT started a trend of broadcast reviews after the show or while watching it, e.g. Thronecast on the BBC. Once it turned sour/utterly stupid/ran out of GRRM material, and especially the final season, it spawned a raft of "hate watch" channels on YouTube I still watch regularly.
Had to have a laugh at it somehow! Hail the 199!

Nothing says, "I've never watched wrestling and don't know what a heel turn is" quite like GOT fans mad about the last season.
