Toight.

Huh. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd likely watch that Pokemon movie.

So, do we think there will be a DD S4? My guess is since Disney announced their streaming service the relationship soured between the companies and Netflix likely wants viewers to put eyes on the Millarworld shows and movies that'll be dropping in 2019 and beyond.

Jessica Jones S3 & Punisher S2 are in production or wrapping up, but Netflix seems to be culling their Marvel shows. At this point I think the best we can hope for is a Defenders movie to maybe wrap up all these Netflix iterations of these characters. (Preferably one where they all scramble to save people in NYC from a giant spaceship then turn to dust at the end. Final shot is Foggey with a broom & dustpan while Jessica chugs a bottle of Jack.)

Sooooo....watched S4E9-11 tonight annnnnnd I'm not sure I like where this is going in the back end of the season. It's turning into an anthology-type show where we only follow one main character each episode. I need more interweaving of established main characters stories to keep my interest. And in episode 11 we get introduced to A LOT of new characters...

S4E1-11 spoilers below...

Edit:

The concerns in the spoilers were unfounded. They switched back to the intertwining storyline format by E12. 

Yeah, DD S2 = Punisher S0.5; Bernthal's Punisher was so damn good it lifted the entire S2 of DD.

S9E5:

So, that happened.

Yes. I really feel like Walt had to die. 

Agreed.

I could be down for a Pinkman solo adventure. Walt could show up in flashbacks. 

Wrapped this up a while back, and it was damned good. Great origin for Bullseye and I love how they showed Kingpin pulling all the strings. We finally get a seaosn where Matt has a major arc that isn't second fiddle to another character! Not that the other character arcs were bad (weakest was Foggy, but his still was decent), but Matt's was just so damned good! I especially liked Karen's storyline this season, too. The biggest complaint (other than the season finale kinda fizzling there) is the mediocre direction. That finale especially had me wishing for some better direction and camera work.

All in all, I'd say this is tied w/ S2 in terms of overall quality. 

The last Kevin Smith film I saw was Zack & Miri... back in *checks imdb* 2008. Damn. He's got a decade of work I haven't been interested in enough to watch. Well, I did watch that awful pilot for Hollyweed on YouTube a few months back, but no film work--or his stuff for CW either. But I have been checking out his podcast/youtube show Fatmen On Batman (now Fatmen Beyond) with Mark Bernardin off and on for about two years. I'd be curious to see Jay & SB make it back to the big screen. Also curous to see what the Sam & Twitch TV show looks like.

Finally catching up on S4. I'm on episode #8 and so far it's good. Like, shockingly good. I dig the new characters and the inter-cutting timelines. If you dropped off FTWD, I recommend giving S4 a try.

Oh this was hardly a Catwoman. More like... Ang Lee's Hulk at worst. You could really see where the R rating was nerfed. And they missed some opportunities to tweak the movie in the right direction. But low expectations helped me like it more than I thought I would.

Agreed on pretty much all of this. It was entertainingly bad. 

Ermagerd! Where y'all at with this S3!?!? I'm seven episodes deep and it's on par with S2 so far.

S3E1-7 spoilers

All three, but mainly the Gordon stache. Stacheless Gordon is bigtime sad.

You've seen the set pics of him in the OTHER costume, right?

Its all black with a SHIELD logo on the front.

I mean, how hard is it to just find a really fucking buff guy, throw a luchadore mask and some camo pants on him and call it good?

Impossible, apparently.

 

It's the final season. Just fucking go all out. Make the kid Batman. Bane is a buff guy in a luchador mask, like you said. Gordon grows a sick stache. Fuck it.

Panch beat me to it. But let me know if they go for Panchito's suggestions and I may come back to this series. I tapped out after S2.

I watched the first episode. She's not a very good actress...so it was just painful to watch. I did not find it charming. Just embarrassing. Does it get better?

Agreed. My gf is super into this woman and her "insta" (millennials), but she wanted to turn it off half way through the first episode and I made her finish so I could see that stupid finished cake. Definitely not going to be watching any other episodes, so can't answer if it gets any better. (unlikely)

Gonna see this on Sunday with much lower expectations than I had last week. 

Also, this. 

Yeesh.

Sophia Petrillo >  Katherine Pulaski in every way. Every. Way.

That trailer is full on nerd porn. 

Damn, I totally forgot this show was a thing. I have the first three episodes DL'd somewhere but never got around to them. Did anybody watch S1? Is it worth catching up on?

I've heard literally nothing about this since the premiere.

TNG is the only Star Trek version that I love. I have tried to get into the others, but I haven't been able to.

 

Patrick Stewart is in great shape for his age. I think he can pull it off.

Agreed on both points! I like  about 70% of DS9, 55% of Enterprise, 45% of TOS, & 40% of Voyager. (Disclaimer--those stats are likely to change depending on the day and my mood. Also, I still haven't seen Discovery yet.) However,  I love the OG crew films (Mostly.) and TNG --even S2 w/ Dr. Polaski. (It's like, damn, get off Data's ass, bitch!)

I just read an article about Netflix considering doing this "choose your ending" gimick with some shows in 2018, but it didn't mention Black Mirror. Makes sense though given the anthology format of the series. I'm down.

A live action Korra series by the series  creators...that doesn't involve M.Night? 

Shh. If you listen very closely, you can here @Reverend Jax climaxing in some dark, distant corner of Hondo's.

And decided to frame Venomverse Gwenpool because that looks really neat and fill the wall well. Gonna frame those some more of those at some point, but I really wanted this one up.

That GR#15 may be my favorite GR cover of all time. (All.Time.) Not only does it look great, but it's also glow in the dark, y'all! I got Tex to sign mine at a con a few years back. It's on my shelf.  That framed Gwenompool cover ya got has me thinking, however, that maybe I'll get some of my favorite covers framed. Looks nice!

I'd give sicario 2 an A, it doesn't have the in your face action but makes up for it with the struggle and tension between characters.  There is a bit of political driver for the plot that is new as well, and although it didn't make a whole lot of sense (based on what the team could do and did do) it does create the environment to explore characters more and bring about an unforgettable moment.

Yup. You definitely found a lot more to like in the film than I did, Spiffy. I found the plot extremely frustrating in that it went nowhere. Maybe that's the commentary the film is trying to make about the war on drugs, but damn, at least give me an interesting story to wrap that bit of commentary in, ya know?

I need to probably watch NARCOS on Netflix for that.
