It's Netflix isn't it. Isn't their greenlight process just opening up the mail.

No, this one actually got theatrical release and was produced by a different company.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah let's keep on rolling baby.

The Witcher was pretty good - though i was a fan because of the game, so i don't know if 'regular' people would enjoy it as much.

I thought structurally, it was a little convoluted with the timelines, and was maybe a bit more confusing than it could have been.

really picked up in the last few episodes i thought after the initial world building... Looking forward to next season

Think he has “my way or the highway” in his contracts?

The Fanatic is bad but it’s so much more entertaining than a lot of other movies. I’d rather watch an entertaining bad flick than most mediocre films. I get the feeling that Fred Durst and Devon Sawa were in on the joke and knew they were making a campy cheesy movie. I don’t know about Travolta though. I feel like he thought he was going to win an Oscar.

Just finished both seasons of The Kominsky Method.

Some awkward moments to watch, but some other moments that were chuckle out loud. The interplay between the characters is excellent.

Looking forward to season 3!

It was fine. The Van Helsing character is pretty cool.

I kind of wished she wasnt a 'Van Helsing' character because thats not really the right tone for that type of character?

She didnt know what she was doing or why, she was just trying out random crap she read about that amazingly 'worked.'

Okay...but what were the consequences of that? And for someone who really didnt know what she was doing she was a real arrogant dick about it.

Maybe not being an arrogant ass when you're too busy talking out of it while combating the Prince of Darkness might have been a wiser tactic? Look at where all of your half-assed snarky BS got you?

Anyways, I've only seen Episode 1 and I was pretty firmly cheering for Dracula.

Haha yes I agree. I meant that I liked the change in tone but overall, she has been pretty useless.

I did like the nod that she has 'a detective friend in London.'

just finished season 3 of Ash vs the Evil Dead, kinda sad that there won't be another season.

[Locke]

Alright. Episode 2 of 3 of Dracula. Fantastic. Really enjoyed it. The Nun is still annoying as all hell, but it had a whole range of different scenarios despite being centred entirely in one place.

[N-E-B]

Just watched Don’t #### With Cats. I think I experienced every emotion possible watching it, but mostly anger. Not at anyone, just that someone could do that to another human being and innocent cats and dogs.

#### that guy, I don’t even want to say his name.

But an absolutely fascinating and really good series. What those internet guys did to find him was amazing. Slightly creepy, a bit scary, but it was all for a good cause so I can accept it.

Oh, and his mom made me beyond angry. No, Manny isn’t real. Your son is actually a cat, dog, and human killing monster. I understand it must be hard for her to accept but I think she’s just being willfully blind at this point and it’s pretty sad to see.

Just watched Dont #### with Cats as well. Agree with everything you said, it was hard to watch at times but also quite impressive what those internet people did. Thats an insane amount of time and work put into all that as well. The looking at Google maps for landmarks in a city, and going through thousands of photos to find the exo data.

But as is typical for internet people, the work was mostly useless and basically tangential.

I've found "Flint Town" to be very eye-opening on a lot of levels, and this coming from someone who has historically really loathed the police. I found it especially got interesting after the Dallas shootings and BLM kicking into high gear. The social dynamics of that on top of the seemingly endless stacks of issues that Flint is facing garnered some genuine empathy from me for those cops.

[Locke]

Finished Dracula.

The rest...in spoilio!

Spoiler!

Episode 3 was. Well. What it was, was the third and final episode.

I think I kind of get what they were going for here but I rather think they missed it and by a fairly wide margin at that.

It kind of got all 'art-house' really quickly and, while there isnt anything necessarily wrong with that its kind of the wrong tone for the overall arc of the story.

I mean, there are genuine moments where I thought they were going to pull a 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' and just end it with Dracula being arrested and then credits and how they actually did end it might have actually been worse.

But it does give the impression of 'meh, we're bored of this, lets just end it and move along.'

I mean...the lawyer getting Dracula out of super-secret-not-really Jail? What the actual....?

I actually feel really bad for Cleas Bang because I really think he killed it. Nailed the character, the mannerisms, the tone and really hammered home the infatuation that drives the inherent ethos of 'cheering for the Vampire' all while staying true to the character itself. I thought he was phenomenal.

The rest is all rather muddled. They bring in an entirely unlikable group of characters centering around some narcissistic girl that you are actively hoping gets hit by a bus.

I could rant on and on but I wont. Overall it was enjoyable, I think the real disappointment with the Third Act was that it could have been a million different and unfathomably better things that what it was, but its what we got. It wasnt the Finale we deserved it was just the Finale we got right now.
