Has anyone watched all of the walking dead? I kinda checked out after season 3 or something but saw bits up until last year. Felt like rewatching just season 1 and the zombies break into a run and pick up rocks to smash windows and shit. Is this ever explained or is it just early show hasn't ironed out all the kinks yet?

The show went through major creative reshuffles so there never weren’t not kinks- everyone failed in their own way, but season 1 was TWD at its best.   (Kinks like that also don’t quite make sense when you have source material but I’ve never compared the two)

[close]

I've been told the source material to show is a bit like the og X-Men movies where they liked the general idea of some characters and themes but basically just wrote their own stuff. (Altho the person that told me this is one of those guys that misses the point of almost every movie).
I guess they could also just explain the season 1 difference as no the zombies didn't run they were just walking very quickly

[close]

TWD show is pretty much exactly like the comics from what I remember.

Yeah I think they hit the same story beats more or less, but have to stretch out story lines past the breaking point because of the nature of tv budgets, etc

It's essentially remixed. Different characters die in the same way in the same scenario as another character in the comic or other times there will be a character death that's a lock from the comic but it will go down different. The main story beats are mostly identical. It's the difference between pen and ink vs logistics, contracts and schedules.

As far as the pilot goes, call it The Very Quickly Walking Dead.

I need to checkout that LOTR series...

I started watching The Patient on Hulu. Steve Carrell plays a psychiatrist that gets kidnapped and held hostage by one of his patients. So far its pretty good, not amazing but I am enjoying steve's character


if you look in the bg around :19 you might see a spot that's been hit a lot recently...

ended up watching much more than just series 1 and I think rather than just the quickly walking dead it's the "do whatever the story needs them to for a scene we want dead"

Blasted through "The Resort" on Peacock.

Dug it, kinda like a trippy "White Lotus"/"Lost" combo. If you enjoyed "High Maintenance," there's a high probability you will like this.

Unhinged is on Netflix. Russell Crowe kills it.

Industry on hbo is really good despite being about young british people having sex. I didn't realize they treated Northerners and Scots so bad over there. Ken leung is really good at acting I'd only seen him on the Sopranos in the mental hospital arc with junior

  Hah Ken Leung was surprisingly a big part of lost I discovered when I just watched them all.   Explains his small role in The Force Awakens

I will say, Season 2 tones down the sex part.  It feels like they were victim of a studio note to be more Euphoria in the first season. 

Also, amazing soundtrack

Dude!  I was really surprised by this movie.  Reminds me of action/thriller movies from the late nineties (in a good way!) before MCU started dominating Hollywood.  It was surprisingly brutal at times too.

Are you both not in the US? I looked on Netflix and it wasn't there. Bummed because I wanted to watch that.

It's on Amazon Prime in the US. A good tool to find out which service has what is justwatch dot com. If you pay for a VPN service then you scoff at puny region locks

I’m only a little into episode 3, but it’s great so far. I’m from Milwaukee and my dad happens to be a retired homicide investigator who worked on this case. He’s retired now, but he’s still tight lipped about all of this.

[Fongstarr.]

Watched episode 1 of Dahmer. This is where my oddball fascination of serial killers kick in but still have a hard time watching this stuff.

[j....soy.....]

Lemme know how it ends…

[sacking rails]

the rise and fall of cosmo kramer

[matt_2993]

Vice Principals was incredibly entertaining and a fun binge with Danny McBride, playing on HBO.  Now I started Righteous Gemstones and loving it as well.  Wasn't the biggest fan of Eastbound and Down but I'll probably circle back to that after finishing these.

Also just rewatched Road House and god damn that movie just gets better with every rewatch

I liked the ‘My Friend Dahmer’ movie that came out a couple years ago, I’ll have to check this out.

The comic that the movie is based off of is really good as well. The fact that Derf went to High School with Dahmer and was sorta in the same crew is pretty fucked up.

Did anyone give that new doc on Infinity a try?   I paused after 15 minutes, but willing to go back if hear it’s worth it

[matt_2993]

Anyone else see Moonage Daydream? New David Bowie documentary and personally I thought it was amazing. Not so much your usual documentary as it was an abstract presentation of who bowie was. Psychedelic montages, performances and interviews all done super well

[sacking rails]

love bowie will have to watch

You are speaking my language. Bad Lieutenant is in my top 20 and Zoe Lund is so cool I would have smoked heroin with her if I was in that shitty apartment IRL and I never touched the stuff…
