    He sticks out like a bearded thumb with an annoying voice.

    Rebel Moon 2 is out. Far better than the first. Picked up from the ending and it was a 2hr long thrill ride after that. If you haven't started this stream, you could do worse than Rebel Moon. Netflix has a winner with this. :)

    Thank you Zach Snyder!!

    I caught the last of it. All in all, I think it was a missed opportunity. Plus, at the very end, they tell us in text about Edwin Stanton’s three months of defiance against President Johnson, which I had never heard about and really wanted to see more. Could have been super interesting. Better than the trial. That part was a total snoozer.

    Yeah, no kidding. With the way they hyped that trial in the two previous episodes, I was expecting... something.

    Nah man... no monsters at all. Just a lot of combat and a decent continuation of the first episode. This is a pretty good sequel and part of a trilogy. Can't wait for the finale. It did have kind of a Dune 2 feel to it but with a better end point.

    Something about Snyder's movies that I can't pay attention within ten minutes.

    Fallout of a good series so far. It made me go back and play the 4th game, which I forgot how good it was.

    I'm into the third episode of Baby Reindeer. Ultra-cringe stalker drama based on a true story. Some funny moments but really dark.

    Yeah, I’ve been pausing before clicking past, but no doubt I’ll eventually dive in. Probably from a bias for true stories. So much crappy script writing, at least with true story dramas there’s only so much a writer can blow.

    Also heard about the big twist in Sugar. Not on purpose, but I’m pretty okay with spoilers. Sugar might be Exhibit A for why I sometimes go out of my way to find them. If I let myself get dragged through another few episodes that go nowhere only to reach the ridiculous plot twist I now know, I’d absolutely lose my shit.

    Yes, I feel the same way about spoilers. Otherwise I might have been bludgeoned into watching that Argyle disaster. The spoiled ending for that has ensured I will never even see the opening credits.

    Heh. You're not alone. Battered viewers support group meets at 6pm. I'll save you a chair. I do like kinda like Sam Rockwell, though.

    On the up-side, the pickings have been so slim lately, it made watching 2023 college football games in advance of the draft an easy choice.

    Everybody's in LA

    Exactly what I was expecting and I still watched 10 minutes of it.

    How do you guys feel about the Tom Brady roast? I found it extremely entertaining and at times hilarious. (didn't want to start a new thread so hope it fits here).

    There is no chance that I will ever voluntarily watch a single second of that.

    Curious why not? Is it just a bias against Brady?

    haha--deification of anyone is bs, for sure.

    Curious, who would you be comfortable watching as the center of a roast?

    Disclaimer-I hate Brady. However, I watched it and thought it was great. The roasters were brutal(the only one that sucked was Ben Affleck) and Tom was a good sport. There were 2 Jets jokes and they were funny. I say watch it, you may be surprised. FYI, watched it in pieces, it's long.
