‘You’ season 2 on the other hand was fucking great.

Definitely a film that divides opinion. I thought it was fantastic. Not perfect, but I thought there was so much good stuff in it.
The scenes in particular where Leo as Rick Dalton is playing the bad guy in the Western is brilliant. Fucking Leo.

It’s better than the 1st season it is different and the main guy you kinda root for.
Gonna watch it on my flight on Sunday unless and then the Irishman on the way back.
Still not seen The Joker or Star Wars. Those 4 are on my watchlist.
And John Wick 3 actually haha.
JW3 is incredible. If they keep the quality into the 4th film I’ll be extremely pleased.
I can see Netflix maybe making an extended universe sort of thing out of it - there’s so much potential with all the assassins and history of the organisation etc
Good to know OUATIH is shite, been putting it off for ages. Can easily find something else to do for half a day.
Currently re-watching the whole of Boardwalk Empire again. Fucking great show.

Come on, the last 20 minutes of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is pretty good, haha.

I loved it, and then everyone said it was rubbish and boring so I watched it again and it was just as good. I honestly think I saw a different film.
Felt OUATIH had some amazing scenes and parts but didn’t all add up and come together into a great film
Was going to start watching Mandalorian last night then saw a James Acaster stand up series on Netflix so watched that instead. He’s one of my favourites at the mo.
OUAIH is worth watching for the Bruce Lee scene alone
Massive Star Wars fandom aside… Mandalorian is incredible!
Saw someone on here saying not much happens, but the pace and what they fit in is perfect IMO, just enough drip fed nerdism, the final episode is awesome, the characters are great, the music is incredible.
I can’t recommend it enough.
Yeah, I think they’ve done really well with it. Even a Star Wars obsessed man baby at work rates it. And he’s been fuming over the last couple of films.
Yeah i’m looking forward to starting it, I didn’t put it off out of negativity, just fancied some comedy that night and I really like Acaster.
I was a little off with the new Star wars film though. It annoyed me for the first half. Seemed it was just really rushed, every scene really scatty and the dialogue rushed and unreal. It did settle in when the meat of the story got going, just the setup for it was squashed. I’d like to see a directors cut that flows more naturally if there would ever be a thing.
This is exactly where Mandalorian stands up, the pacing! The script isn’t overly complicated but is enough to nerd out on, the child is an animatronic rather than CGI, they have a kick ass woman playing a kick ass woman. I can’t find any fault in it whatsoever!
Also Abbrams has already made a directors cut of the latest film. In fact a mate of mine did some lecturing on editing recently and spoke to the chap that edited Rogue One and the new Wonder Woman and he says every film starts with the directors cut initially and then gets re-cut due to timing constraints, pacing etc, which for the directors must suck… knowing things they had in their vision of the film had to get left out, especially in the case of something like Rise Of Skywalker that undoubtedly needed to be longer and, like you say, suffered with cramming too much in.
Ah, that cool news.
Yeah I like slower paced things, that’s why I loved the Wire. That stands up still whereas Breaking bad has not. Missus hadn’t seen it so started watching it again a few months ago. It didn’t even feel like the same show.
LOVE Acaster <3
Acaster is great. This is pretty spot on tho
