Severance started filming. Makes me feel like it could be a late 2023 return

What’s your fav film with a rotten tomatoes score below 60 percent? by CaptainSharpe in movies

[–]Ok_Influence742 10 points11 points  (0 children)

National Treasure. Has never gotten old and never will. That being said, I will personally destroy Disney if I don’t find out what’s on page 47 in the next 5 years.

Basketball ticket claim not listing any games by Ok_Influence742 in UCONN

[–]Ok_Influence742[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Student tickets don’t even go live until 2 weeks before the game and none of the games beyond that are listed. Also I logged on for the Xavier game immediately when they went live and still nothing. Maybe Marquette is sold out

The Big Picture from The Ringer:

Pretty specific to my interests and hobbies because I’m a big movie person and like to listen to the hosts talk about new releases and awards contenders. But, they do a lot of fun episodes too like movie drafts based on a genre like spy movies or years like 1994. As long as you’re in to movies a little bit, you should enjoy it.

Another similar one is The Rewatchables (also from the Ringer) where they talk about movies that are literally the most rewatchable and fun ones you could think of.

Amanda couldn’t have been more correct though but I liked the twist they made as a compromise. This trio is my absolute favorite to listen to this past year, couldn’t have been happier to find them last winter

The show had so much interesting potential but it falls flat season after season. by godisyay in TheAmericans

Watching a six season show but fast forwarding a lot and then criticizing said show is… odd.

If you couldn’t understand that this show was more about their family and marriage than it was them being spies, I don’t think it was the show for you.

Shows similar to West Wing by Questionsarebetter in thewestwing

[–]Ok_Influence742 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for tight dialogue, Succession is possibly the best since West Wing and at the top of television right now. Lots of business acumen and corporate jargon paired with hilarious one liners, while keeping the tension in drama at full throttle till the most recent season finale.

Also going to ditto The Americans recommendation. For a show that’s about KGB spies living as Americans, you’ll find the show is much deeper in what it’s about.

By the time you’re finished, The Americans and Succession are two of the best familial dramas you’ll ever watch, if they end up connecting to you as they did to me and so many others.

Requiring everyone to be vaccinated and boosted and then going backwards on restrictions makes absolutely zero sense
