What are we watching now?

[mbenigni]

Oh yeah, I snuck in a binge-watch of Black Rabbit a few weeks ago. (My god, I've been sitting on my ass a lot.) A few missteps (like trying to pass off the brothers' former band as "punk", cringe) but enjoyable overall.

Yeah I am glad they kept the "band" as a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry distant plot device. It would not have held up under really any sort of scrutiny

It brought to mind that Netflix drama "The Sound of Metal", whose main character is described as a "heavy-metal drummer", but whose band was clearly some kind of punk/ art rock/ performative experiment. Have the people who write these screenplays ever listened to actual music?

Have I ever mentioned my seething hatred for the movie "Rock Star"?

Dang dude I loved that movie! How can you not love that scene where he's recording We All Die Young?

It's the assumption that every metalhead is an idiot coupled with Mark Wahlberg playing the lead character

Bit gatekeep-y on my part, admittedly

I also have a soft spot for it since it's loosely based on the Ripper Owens/Judas Priest story.

That is also another thing. I should have a soft spot for it for this very same reason but I feel let down with it so it irked me even more because of that fact! Maybe I should rewatch it?

Maybe I need to rewatch it!

Rock Star is the greatest movie ever made besides Death Wish 3.

 

[MTB1973]

I recently rewatched it. It doesn’t hold up…at all. I loved it.

I forgot Kevin Bacon Myles Kennedy had a cameo:

 

[spawnofthesith]

Finished up The Lowdown last night. Not quite as clever as Fargo was but a great watch and very much in a similar vein.

Oh shit, if it’s Fargo-ish I’ll check it out for sure, the trailers did not appeal to me at all




As far as black rabbit… well… I watched it…. It was ok I guess. It also irritated and often bored me through out. I love Jason Bateman but that casting didn’t land for me and felt contrived. But it was still ok I guess lol

It's good. Not Fargo good, but good. And certainly not Alien Earth bad


On the subject Hawke; watched Dead Poet's Society for the first time last night. Great flick that I am not sure how I missed the first go round? I miss Robin Williams in serious roles

Landman starts up again on the 16th......can't wait.

Been doing Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown. Both good but probably at a spot where they could finish up this season and not be a big deal for me?

 

[Jazz Padd]

This movie was a trip, start to finish!

 

[Los-D]

Not sure if shared anywhere else but Miss Chile 2025 contestant singing metal!

 

[AlbertA]

Pluribus - Well damn, Vince Gilligan has done it again - that first episode! I'm hooked.

It seems it brought Apple TV service down yesterday too!

[Spaced Out Ace]

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers. The movie is absolute insanity, and I get the feeling that the film Bordello of Blood was meant to be a retooling of this film.
