I was born in 74 so I saw lots of 80s films. What’s your point?

I was just about to post in here— I just watched all three seasons over again in succession.  I remember hating Season 2, but on the re-watch it wasn’t bad at all.  Just as great as 1 and 3.   Great show with a lot of suspense along with nasty and freaky / horror shit going on.  Also just enough comic relief that really makes you love the characters.  A+ in my book.  

I haven't rewatched it, but I hated S02 too. Pacing felt way off, like they were permanently retarding for the sake of retarding and then suddenly rushing the finale, which had some cringey stuff too, as far as I remember. Just not a lot going on at all until the last episode or so. And man,  I hated fucking Emo Eleven so fucking much.

S03 was better, maybe my favorite so far, but all in all I find the whole show quite middling and not really deserving of the hype. The humor is not exactly my cup of tea either, a bit too mainstream/forced I guess.

The nostalgic side of it is somewhat nice, but wears off quickly, and there's just not a lot of substance under it IMO. There's worse things to watch, I guess, but I just don't get excited over it and don't really see what the fuss is about. It's... okayish?

It also made me realize what an incredibly shitty actress Winona Ryder is. Never noticed when I was younger, or maybe she just wasn't as bad. But she sure is bad now. Man, so bad.

Yeah, maybe I'm just too old or just have seen better, dunno. I remember kind of liking Super 8 though, but not why.

I think you know so I can’t be arsed to explain. 

Of course he knows he just wants to listen to your fabulous dissertation on why is it wrong to like stranger things...

Literally no idea mate. Unless you’re talking about all the dross that came out in the 80’s, and how a lot of it sucked compared to television now?

Hah.  I first noticed she was a horrible actress in Mr. Deeds.  Like you truly have to be putrid at acting to be the worst actor in an Adam Sandler flick.

Haven't rewatched it but as far as I'm concerned the show has been getting progressively worse with each season. They should've called it quits after season 1.

starts really fucking great but by the second season it turns itself into a major shitstorm...... what'cha think about those montages with corny songs in the end of each episode? lol

Hey, I loved season 2. Can' wait to start s3 on Saturday.  Addictive as hell, and really great they are wrapping everything up.

Watched a lot of 80's horror of late. A lot of door opens to other dimension. Window breaks into other dimension. Still , damn entertaining though

The mandalorian - what a pile of boring childish crap... there's no story... sloppy dull fight scene choreography, machine guns and explosions... the mandalorian behaved like a true ignoramus rex... couldn't care less about any of the characters... not even the fantastic vfx could save this trash...

As far as the Mandalorian, I think it looks great and I like all of the Easter eggs and everything, but my problems are more basic story and character issues. In any of the other Star Wars films, you had characters that were empathetic and well-developed right out the gate. This show isn’t really like that at all.

I understand that a certain element of this show is a redemption story, but (as far as basic storytelling goes), it doesn’t work for me to watch a helmet with a cool guy voice for 6 episodes (I’m only 6 deep and plan to finish) acting like a hypocritical, mansplaining tough guy and blowing away jawas. As far as development goes, I’ve only gathered that he won’t take off that helmet and his reputation precedes him... and that he’s a “foundling” (but I disqualify the rapid flashbacks as character development... so his trauma of seeing his parents killed or whatever is lost by the fact I can’t see the damn expression on his face for the whole show but that’s just me tho).

Did you use to have a different profile name? It says you’ve been a member for years but I’ve not noticed you before.

It's me, Wacko Jacko!

It’s really dumb that HBO puts some series up on HULU for less than 30 days, I’m guessing it’s some pre-Disney / HBO Max deal that still needs to be honored, but really glad we got to binge Barry and even Watchmen & Six Feet Under were up for a while.  Currently in the midst of Twilight Zone season 2, the episode with Billy Porter seems to be the highlight so farr.

man, i re-watched the watchmen men - this was pretty great, i'm not into vigilantes/super hero stuff but this was surprisingly good... it's mysterious, fun, quite dramatic but above all, unexpectedly bonkers, at least for me who didn't read the comics... some songs from the score are amazing, kudos to trent reznor and the other guy...

I was surprised to see Watchmen on Hulu the other day, didn't notice other content. But yeah, I assumed it was from previous deals or perhaps a way to entice Hulu users to sign up for the HBO Max add-on. 

As required by the FTC, I must disclose that I'm an HBO employee when commenting on public social platforms. But I know nothing about licensing deals. 

Dark was incredible.

Instead of mtv-addicted headbangers, are they going to be YouTube trolls?

I would be happier if they just streamed reruns of the OG show. I loved their music video commentaries.

I’m almost through with season three. so far, I’m not gonna lie, this new season has been frustrating. I’m hoping it all comes together in some gratifying way.
