Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story

 

 

 

 

 

It's been a while since I've noticed a soundtrack while watching a movie or a TV series. I did not know or realize Thomas Newman was the composer until I saw his name after the final episode (episode 9). These two tracks in particular worked really well and were often used during the entirety of the show. This season was very different from Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, but ultimately not as good.

Please forgive me if I'm a little late to the party, but... is anyone watching LOUDERMILK?

It looks like fun.

 

Also, is anyone watching SWEETPEA?

We have watched the first 2 episodes.  It's OK.  Great cast, some funny moments, but nothing really hilarious happening yet

 

Avenue 5 also took forever to get really funny, so we'll stick with it

We just finished watching Loudermilk and mostly enjoyed it, although it had some oddly silly plotting (especially in the first season, but the others had their fair share) which made it less enjoyable and less good than it might have been. The final season has a couple of stronger character arcs with existing characters which give an indication of how good it could have been had they not got so distracted with weird story threads - there are at least three plots I can think of that to me qualify as jumping the shark moments, two of which occur in the first season... that isn't meant to happen until later seasons when the writers start to run out of ideas! Still, the central character and dynamics are great and carry the show.

Certainly not watching the Menendez Brothers snuff show where they recount drinking flavoured semen. In this house, we watch Buffy. I've been tossing on Prime Video's Buff channel. Tonight, I Only Have Eyes For You.

I'm watching the epic return of Yellowstone. It's taken the whole Biden Administration and there's been a price to pay, but boy has it been worth it.

[The Train Station 8,870]

Anyone else see it?

[John Dutton 7,502]

I just can't get out of bed after this week. I can't believe what's happened.

Shocking 

[bespinGPT 8,853]

I just finished "Presumed Innocent" on Apple TV. Well, I suspected they’d add some meat comparing to the movie—after all, we all remember the track 'Barbara's Confession' on the soundtrack, haha. The series itself is fine, but honestly, the whole time, I missed the movie with Harrison Ford (and John Williams’ music). And as for the ending, which you can see coming from a mile away—they made it more "complicated", and it’s completely awful.

 

Do yourself a favor and rewatch the movie!

2 eps in and muchly enjoying the new TV adap of The Day Of The Jackal with Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch ... it's cool, pacy and globetrotting.

Yellowstone is chugging along with its few remaining episodes we waited years for. I've watched the season 5B premiere 3 times. The premiere night, the Amazon UHD drop the next day, since they're still honoring the season 5 purchase I made years ago, and the rerun before episode 10 tonight. 

 

Half of this episode was a flashback to the ranchers in Texas and just as entertaining as the sudden jump to Present Day scenes. Even with the loss of its tyrannical martinet, this show is bigger than ever. Ratings are absurd and there's no way Paramount wants this show to end, and neither do we.

[The Train Station 8,870]

Great ep. Better than last week's one, even.

Just checked out season four of BABYLON BERLIN.

Any fans?

Shrinking - Season 2 x Episode 7

 

This show is just soooo good!!!!

I love how it can be so funny, extremely heartfelt and not shy away from difficult stuff.

 

The scene with Liz & Derek this episode was brilliant. In S1 Derek was mostly there as comic relief, but this season he has become an actual person and this episode showed how great of a character he is. Excellent work!!

Binged all of Say Nothing in two days. Based on the book of the same name it tells the story of Dolours and Marian price and their time in the Provisional IRA. The abduction, murder, and disappearing of widowed mother of 10 Jean McConville is the framing device for the whole show. 
 

I thought it was incredibly well done. I’ve read the book (written by Patrick Radden Keefe who also wrote the excellent Empire of Pain about the Sackler family) and I thought this was a great adaptation. I think it does a great job of showing why the Price sisters turned to violence and Dolours subsequent disillusionment with Gerry Adams and his ways.

 

But the Jean McConvill storyline is heartbreaking. Those poor kids and all the other families who had members taken away and disappeared. Some still don’t have a grave to visit. 
 

Gerry Adams comes out of it badly. And deservedly so. 
 

Anthony Boyle is having an amazing year with this (he plays the younger Brendan Hughes), Masters of the Air and Manhunt.

I started The Big Bang Theory. A little late to the game, but better later than never. I’m not going to watch it all the way through, just the first two seasons probably. I’m five episodes in and enjoying it so far. It kind of fills the void that Friends left. 

[John Dutton 7,502]

 

This show keeps delivering even without its star. I wasn't prepared for the twists and turns Sheridan had in store for this short seasonal conclusion. I'm on the edge of my seat.

1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything

 

Wow, absolutely everything I hate about American and English music is featured in this documentary!

[tomsmoviemadness 3,616]

Shrinking - Season 2 x Episode 8

 

This just keeps getting better! Love it so much!

 

Paul was fantastic this episode. As was Derek, that man is just teriffic!

 

But I'm really not happy with the decision Jimmy made at the end. He has made a decision only thinking about himself again, just like the start of the episode showed in the flashbacks (which was great). Alkce is not gonna be happy with this and it's gonna be a strain on their relationship again I think.

Finally, the first DCU project was launched, with two episodes.

To be honest, i wasn´t that interested watching the first episode. It was good, but nothing that good, it was a solid start...

And then MY GOD what a episode the second was. Seriously, it becomes better every time I think about it, it was great, also it´s sad how it made me care more about the Bride in 20 minutes than the trinity of the DCEU as a whole in 10 years.

 

 I´m so happy that Gunn picked the only medium that really catches the full potential of Superheroes to start this universe, the show is as comic booky as a comic book adaptation can get.
