Whatsup with people saying there is anything worthwile to shawshank redemption? On imdb it's the highest rated movie while i can't imagine jail being like that from seeing all the docs from the tv. It basically seems like kindergarten with a few bully guards. It's a complete cornball fairytale to me.
Some CGI is just ridiculous. Carrie Fischer in Rogue One comes to mind and it looked comically bad.
Shawshank is good, theres hardly any filler in the story and it goes at a solid pace like a interesting book. A realistic movie about prison would be boring as fuck. Its not as exiting and badass as those lookup shows make it look like.I don't like realistic CGI, my eyes just can't get down with it.
Black Mirror is pretty overrated in my mind. I've only watched a few episodes but I don't feel compelled to watch any more. Even the first episode with the pig sex isn't deep once you get past the shock value. I think they have really interesting worlds that they build up but the social commentary aspect is just so heavy handed (which I know is the point) without any actual foundation underneath to help prop it up or flesh out the details in an interesting manner.
You and the D00D have turned this thread into a horrible head-on-collision between a short bus full of regular kids and a van full of paraplegics.

Maybe because it was overly hyped, but I just watched the first season last week and wasn't too impressed. I thought they were interesting, but that first episode had too many things that annoyed me.Before I dive into any more seasons, is there anyone who feels similar, but suggests the later seasons improve down the line?

Fuck that show with Sheldon as a character. Utterly disgusted by this unique brand of humor after the 1st 3mins of it that I saw and have hated it passionately since ( sometimes people watch it who I know.)

Has anyone watched LA to Vegas? It’s pretty funny but a lot of reviewers hate it.

Any time a TV show or movie start selling logo tee-shirts or other merchandise it's a huge downturn.

[close]A while back at the bar I saw a dude wearing a Walking Dead hat and a tee with a weird graphic of a tattooed Walter White. I was disappointed to see no Mad Men insignia on his gym shorts.This thread's kind of a bummer but I just wanted to chime in that I watched Boondock Saints from beginning to end for the first time and got confirmation that it's not good. I'd seen it in parts before and assumed that I was missing important plot details but nah it's just shitty.

The Big Lebowski.It's actually not that bad of a movie, but nowhere near worth the over-hype it constantly gets. Not even close to being the best Cohen brothers movie, not even in the top 5.
if the mods were wu-tang, dean would be cappadonna
