You're American, I dont wanna get gunned down!
According to the NRA guns don't kill people
Peaky blinders fans do...
Glad to see I'm original as ever.
I watched a film called Lucy a few years ago. The biggest pile of shite I have ever seen. Utterly atrocious film
I'm trying to get into this and failing as people said how creepy it is. I nearly fell asleep during the first episode. I DID fall asleep during the 2nd. I think it's quite darkly lit, slow moving and I'm struggling to make out what they're saying. It's one of those I feel I should try and watch as everyones raving about it but I'm struggling to get the enthusiasm to. I'm not desperately waiting for the next episode to come out like I was with line of duty/ body guard. I also binge watched The Confession recently as I just had to see what happens in the next episode. Apparently it's based on a book so I may give the book a go when I'm trying to find something to read.
Echo the person above who said Lucy the film what on earth was going on?!
Agree re Big Bang, also not watched Peaky Blinders but never felt the urge to
IT chapter 2- had such great expectations but probably one of the films I've seen that disappointed me most
Killing Eve. It's one of those I feel I should retry as it's got such good reviews but I fell asleep during episode 2 and couldn't be doing with rewatching
13 reasons why 3rd series- the girl narrator irritated the hell out of me and they kept making stupid decisions
Maaaybe..Is that coincidentally the last season where the dragon lady were topless?
Breaking Bad is tumescent.
No characters are likeable and it's so slow and dull.
Part of me wanted to get back into it and finally finish it once the film came out but I really cba.

Damien Lewis shoulda gone at the end of S1, if he pulled that trigger it woulda taken the show to a whole other level.
Handmaids Tale is so incredibly dull these days... only still watching it 'cos the wife wants to know what happens... but even she's bored at this point.
Homeland Season 1 is one of the finest seasons of Television I can remember... it should just have been a standalone.
Don't do it to yourself...
If I remember correctly, I was warned not to continue the series numerous times in the Dexter thread already
I can't help myself! I'm too deep. Plus, despite the show itself being subpar, I'm admittedly still invested in Dexter himself. Michael C. Hall is a wonderful actor.
Fair enough. I appreciate the film predominately takes Tony Lip's viewpoint, in no small part because his son Nick drove the project and co-wrote the screenplay, and that that opened the door to 'white saviour' and 'magical negro' criticism. I maintain, and it's not lost on me that it's my privilege to do so from my perspective as a white 30 year old from the UK, that both characters learn and are changed for the better because of the time they spend with each other, it is not the case that one 'saves' the other nor that the black character exists only for the betterment of the white character, and that scenes such as the one below belie the idea that it is somehow only Tony's viewpoint on racism that counts:
There is also the issue of Shirley's family criticising the portrayal both of Don and the relationship between him and Tony. It seems to be commonly accepted that consultation between Farrelly, Nick Vallelonga and the Shirley family could have been better, and fair enough if you find that insurmountably objectionable, but having gone in without any knowledge of the production or the real life story all I can say is it's a film I enjoyed, I think it's one with merit and I'm glad I saw it.
It's Always Sunny and How I Met Your Mother. I don't appreciate shit american sitcoms. Big Bang Theory as well, even if I used to be able to tolerate it.
Luke Cage and Daredevil. Garbage.
Shows like Prison Break and The Walking Dead which had good first seasons, but just have writers who don't have a fecking clue how a good tv series always has to be wrapped up and not just spun out indefinitely.

Hank is pretty likeable, as is Walt for the majority of it. Jesse starts off a dick and gradually becomes a better person put in bad situations. Saul is likable. Mike too. Even Gus.
The show starts in the first few episodes with the RV crashing and them having to dispose of two bodies. One of which melts through a bathtub. There are about 20 amazing moments in the show I can think of off the top of my head. I agree it is a slow burner but you need that to appreciate the impact of things when they happen. Plus the acting is so good I happily watch any scenes that people call 'character development' or filler. I recently rewatched the whole show and I can tell you now apart from about ten scenes in the whole series, everything is relevant to something that ends up happening in the future.
Some people just don't seem to have the attention spans for shows like this, Sopranos and The Wire.
I'm sure it's unfair to lump them all in together but nothing I've seen from the likes of those, Brooklyn 99 and Chuck Lorre's stuff does anything for me. The only American sitcom that I like is Curb Your Enthusiam.
Grouping those two together is sacrilege.
The Saudi Takeover thread.
It's an excellent film, just as highlighted in the film review thread, it's more because of Mann's artistic approach than the plot.
I havent seen Total Recall but it seemed pretty bland - Miami Vice is nothing like that and Farrell's performance is fine in it (though again, the performances aren't what makes that film great).
I was fine with your summarising of events and was happy to chalk things up to personal preference but your last sentence was completely needless so get off your high horse.
Not that it matters but I normally prefer slow burners and love The Sopranos for instance but I didn’t gel at all with Breaking Bad for all of the first two and a bit seasons.
It's true! I wasn't referring to you personally as I don't know you but I have recommended it to friends I know have short attention spans and they struggled. That you thought it meant you might be saying something
BB reaches its peak for me around the middle to end of S3 and stays at that level pretty much til the end. I'd say it's worth revisiting if you got near that point.
When a lot of people really, really like a movie and talk about it as brilliant people that don't like it will hate said movie more than they dislike other movies that they didn't like. The reason being you don't like something and it gets thrown into your face again and again that people love it so you feel like you're taking crazy pills. Everyone has something that fits this bill. For me with movies it's anything Wes Anderson. Rushmore was OK, rest is just weird colors and centered frames, sometimes in stop-motion.
So what is that makes this film great ? Original Miami Vice series had single episodes with far more interesting plot and character development, not to mention far better soundtrack and other smaller details. It was simply Miami Vice.
The 2006 version looks more like a generic cop film with added extensive swear rate, would rather watch Bad Boys than this.
I think you didn't buy into Mann's vision of it, simple as. Nilssy spoke about it in better words than I could, here (actually wasn't him but another review)
I don't know about that...It's true! I wasn't referring to you personally as I don't know you but I have recommended it to friends I know have short attention spans and they struggled. That you thought it meant you might be saying something

I admittedly have a pretty poor attention span and loved Breaking Bad!
Pretty much any comic book related movie. Especially Deadpool.
I guess what I mean by it is when someone sees a show has almost hour long episodes and about 15-16 a season it can be daunting to commit to.I don't know about that...

Thanks for this. It's definitely the tone of the movie. 2006 one is darker and I guess it didn't had neon lights flashing every two scenes which was good I guess. Just not the Miami Vice I fell in love with.
New Total Recall definitely was worse and deserves be more on the hate list, even with it's Blade Runner-esque special effects it didn't make any impact and that's a real letdown. Kate Beckinsale was a nice addition, but that didn't help too.
The John Wick movies
Hunger Games movies, especially the last two which were honking
The Mission Impossible movies

Joker. FFS, never been as disappointed in something since Bebe's debut!
The revenant. Unbelievable thats the movie that finally won him an oscar.
Big Bang Theory. Not a single funny scene.
Ascension. I mean why?
Breaking bad. Good to a point but got to the final season and decided I just couldn’t sit through anymore.
Supernatural, absolute balls. Thought I’d give it a go due to the reviews and hype but nope.
Walking Dead, if people are still watching this then you should check for a pulse and make sure you’re not a zombie. When one of the most exciting things to happen in a season was Rick shaving it was time to say goodbye.
Whats all this about Inception and Interstellar? Watched both thought they were alright but never even knew there was some sort of hype about them. Just thought they were run of the mill films.
As for the creme De la creme of terrible film moments in my life, watching The Tree of Life in the cinema is one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever gone through I’d rather be waterboarded.
