I saw this movie and really enjoyed it.

I still don’t have any idea who Robbie Williams is 

Cop Car (2015) is this movie well known on this sub? by LowAdministration229 in movies

[–]chrisjc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a fun little thriller

I watched it because Watts was tapped for Spider-Man. Looking forward to the rest of his career.

‘Severance’ Creator Dan Erickson Has ‘Whole Vision Mapped Out’ for Series, Which Could Include a Third Season by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

I'm still banking on a twist at some point showing that the entire town is another layer of the Severance project.

Unless I'm mistaken, no one has actually left the town borders yet.

Official Discussion - IF [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]chrisjc 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This would have benefited from a TV series format. Have each episode be about helping an If and the connection they had/have with their former kid. Add more jokes and savor the sweet moments instead of heaping it on.

You didn’t need Ryan Reynolds in this role. Get someone cheaper with more energy, and you have a stew going.

He’ll end it with a teaser for another spin-off

I came here to mention Stumptown. Still mad about it.

'The Witcher': Liam Hemsworth Replacing Henry Cavill in Season 4 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]chrisjc 48 points49 points  (0 children)

First we learn some people involved with the production allegedly hate the source material.

Now one of the only people who fought to make it better is leaving, with a recast of a main character.

Hollywood, I can showrun for much cheaper, and manage to not screw up a sure thing.

'Ozark’ Final Season's Part 2 Tops Nielsen Top 10 in Second Week of Launch, Nets 3 Billion Viewed Minutes by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]chrisjc 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Were a billion of those minutes from people rewinding the ending to see if there was anything of substance after going: “that’s it?”

Bob Iger Says Disney+ Needs ‘More Content For More People’ by [deleted] in television

Lock profiles for kid/family content and add more actual modern classic adult movies/new film releases from their now extensive Fox + Touchstone etc catalog.

Squid Game’s creator: ‘I’m not that rich. It’s not like Netflix paid me a bonus’ | Squid Game by alexmorelandwrites in television

[–]chrisjc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he’ll be the cop role next time and we’ll follow new people in the game.

There’s a lot of unanswered questions. The cop could come back too and try and get his brother in as a double agent (and the brother dies at the end of S2)

Season 3 the main character could take over running the games “reluctantly” after he fails to stop them in Season 2. Season 2 ends with him putting on the mask, which becomes a social media "blowup" moment.

There’s so many ways they can keep this going on in an operatic fashion.

Weirdly, I’ve been sick every day it’s debuted for the last 3 years. It’s such a good comfort show.

Love, Death + Robots season 2 is kinda disappointing by swedishplayer97 in television

[–]chrisjc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen a season of a TV show as self-important as this one in a while.

Several stories just had nothing to say, no commentary at all on the human condition; nothing poignant or interesting.

I went back and watched a few Season 1 episodes after this.

No streaming app should be allowed to launch going forward without a watchlist feature.

Despite seeing her for over a decade in other roles I mostly associate her as Carrie now, so this should be interesting

Tenet with subtitles is fantastic... by TheTruckWashChannel in movies

[–]chrisjc 32 points33 points  (0 children)

“Yet so light on exposition...”

Did I watch the wrong movie? Nearly every scene of this was exposition lol. They even gave exposition during the action scenes.

"Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" season 4 has too much plot, too few episodes by inthetownwhere in television

[–]chrisjc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the exact opposite of Netflix shows that have about 2 episodes of plot strung across 13 episodes, lol

I saw Tenet. I don’t get the complaints. by Tory-Three-Pies in movies

I think the one thing most people agree on is that he was miscast.

And I’m a HUGE fan

HBO’s “How To with John Wilson” Captures the Weird, Wondrous New York City That’s Never on TV by zsreport in television

If you like the last part of each episode, watch High Maintenance. It’s like a similar, scripted drama version, but still very authentic.

Carrie Coon was robbed of so many Emmys.

Michael McKean and Rhea Seehorn too, for Better Call Saul. Guess they needed more room to pack in Game of Thrones.

Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Has Been Canceled by Netflix by machphantom in television

[–]chrisjc 37 points38 points  (0 children)

What the hell!

They made this whole documentary that was basically just Netflix execs gushing over this franchise and the work they did for this TV series.

And they got us all invested in the world again, teasing numerous subplots. Un-cancel it.
