The Movie (and TV show) Watching Thread

I watched Burn After Reading yesterday.

It was basically A Serious Man, DC edition.

In that life is just random sometimes.  Without rhyme or reason.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

1.9 out of 10. 

It sucks.  Don't watch it.

I enjoyed the first two segments, but overall, yeah, I more or less agree on balance.

My wife and I are rewatching the Pirates movies; it's crazy how much lore is involved. I always forget that there is more to the films than Jack Sparrow.

I've always found those movies to be way too convoluted and confusing. I really wish they got rid of the whole supernatural s*** after awhile and just had mortal pirates competing over treasure and back-stabbing each other.

I can kinda get where the Coen Brothers were coming from (my favorite directors of all time)...which was: Western vignettes and Americana frontier tales.  Complete with the random, stylized violence of Tarantino.

But I simply wasn't feeling it.

Cyberpunk:  Edgerunners. 

That was dope.

I'm watching Mad Men for the very first time, because it's free on Amazon Vid right now.  I'm on Season 3, and I'm unexpectedly hooked, and didn't think it would ever be a series I'd be in to. 

My favorite character so far--and the one I identify with the most--is Peggy.

Damn.  

Can we talk about them Mad Mens ending?

My take:

you can never redeem the irredeemable


Even if in the end, that results in a positive good.

I've started warming up to Inglorious Basterds, and asked Copilot the song that played with Sgt Donny Donowitz and PFC Omar Whatever infiltrated the theater, and it came back with David Bowie's "Cat People", which I automatically knew was absolutely not correct.  

The song is "The Devil's Rumble" by Davie Allow and the Arrows.

It's quite intense.

As someone whose Fallout adventure began with FO4, I still felt those feels when Lucy unveiled the New California Republic flag (because that's the Fallout 4 theme).

Railroad forever.
