Movies / TV General Discussion

[Blueline]

Walking Dead's next to last episode moved slow even for a "Calm before the Storm" story line. And, who's the "little birdie" whispering to Negan about Rick?

I think it's the junkyard "Heapsters". Not trusting her anyway.

 

[Gone2Three]

Had to work last night Joe :gah: I've recorded it ... A busy week ahead of me, but I'll have it watched before the finale.

 

[Gone2Three]

Well Joe, I'm now caught up on TWD. So now that Rick has the artillery (thanks Ocean Side) and his army has come together it's time to end this! Only problem is, Negan seems to know it and has some plans of his own. Who tipped off the Saviours?? This is what we have been waiting for... and the wait appears to be over. :gun2: :gunbandana: :fighting0036: I'm ready for Sunday now :zombie:

Sniper: Into the kill zone



Looks interesting, airs tomorrow on the History channel at 9/8c

Due to conflict in the time, I'll be recording it though.

Don't want to miss the season finale of The Walking Dead :Excited:

 

[frostbite51]

So, on TWD, do we get to see any action tonight or will it be 1 1/2 hours of buildup to a 'cliffhanger' for next season?

Well Ron, they promised no cliff hanger...we'll see :Shrug:

As far as favorite movies go I lean toward World's Fastest Indian. Looking back at All in the Family, I watched that show mainly for Sally Struthers. She was cute as the proverbial button. Hollywood used that show, and many others like it, to help shape our thinking at the time.

Even tho Readers Digest has done an article on Oak Island I still wonder whether it's legit even tho people have been digging around there as long as they have. My reasoning is how could someone have hidden something by hand THAT well so long ago that modern man is having so much trouble locating it with modern equipment TODAY? What could they have known then that all these people since have not been able to figure out? And how were they able to keep the water out back then to get the treasure hidden so well modern man can't locate with high powered equipment today? I can't be the only one wondering these things.

[Gone2Three]

Well...WD fan's sorry to say I'm a little frustrated with the way that went. :gah: :gah: :gah: I'm going to need a moment :xszpv:

 

[Blueline]

Lots of mysteries going on here. Where's Gregory? Where did he head off to? Where does Dwight actually stand? Who's side is he on? Michonne is badly hurt. The "Heapsters" are indeed traitors to Rick.

Eugene created some Negan suspicion. An all out war is coming!

 

[Blueline]

And.....we finally got to see Shiva the Tiger in action.:clapping:

Yeah, just wishing that it was someone else's face she was chewing on :laugh:

Some good points here:

http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/...udience-like-idiots?google_editors_picks=true

The Walking Dead television series has been the obnoxious family member that you give 100 chances to get right—and they disappoint you every time.

The notoriously sluggish nature of the show has been damn near stuck in a standstill—where you wish that something, anything will happen.

...the finale of this season ranks up there with the worst in the show’s history.

...is a complete bore to get through, an unnecessarily overlong “extended” episode that has no stakes until after 40 minutes of its run time.

...we’ve been waiting for this war to happen for half a year, and the road to get there was completely and utterly stupid.

...TWD has doubled down on corny, emotional scenes that blur the line between comic book exposition and high school play-level storytelling

...Rick is once again proven to be a complete goof of a leader

This guy should tell us what he really thinks...:xzqxz:

 

[Gone2Three]

Hey Ron, he does indeed have some valid points. But anyone including myself whom has watched the show from the beginning has felt this way at some point. This show has had it up's and down's throughout the seasons. My thoughts are this... It's just entertainment, I don't think I'm just going to stop watching it because it's not moving along like I want it to. I agree, I felt cheated on the finale and yes like you called it...it took almost an hour to pick up steam. The writer of the article has the right to voice his opinion and the choice to give up on the show. Me... I'll keep watching, it's not like there's anything else on with zombies that I'm interested in except Fear The Walking Dead :laugh:

 

[frostbite51]

I'll keep plugging away until the end, but geez, it sure gets boring at times. I wonder if running two shows now has spread the talent pool too thin...

Y'a have to do what I do...when it gets boring you get on Trike Talk :Trike1:

Going In Style

So was wondering if anyone has see this new comedy? It's gotten mixed reviews :Shrug:

 

[Blueline]

We'll get around to it. We've enjoyed these three individually, together they should be a lot of fun. One reviewer states Alan Arkin is the best of the three. Also, Anne Margaret is in there. This will be a fun, popcorn movie.

 

[Ozarkryder]

New series begins this Saturday night on BBC America. :clapping:

Patriots Day

Tonight was Redbox night and I suggested that since it was Patriots Day this coming Monday it was only fitting to watch this movie based on the tragic event during the Boston marathon. Although It seemed difficult having to relive the events of the tragedy....It goes to show how delusional Jihadists are any how much we must do to protect our homeland.

Overall this was a very well made movie keeping the intense realism while saluting law enforcement, the power of love, and how we can truly help out each other when needed.

Along with the tribute to the city itself, this movie had me beyond engaged...it had me on the edge of my seat. Highly recommended if you haven't already seen it. ThumbUp

Fast 8: Fate of the Furious

Well as our weekend was wrapping up we decided to take in a Saturday night movie. Our choice was the latest installment of the Fast and the furious franchise.

Fast 8 still retains it's over the top stunts, ridiculous fun and absurdity that the series is known for. But despite the beautiful scenery, hot cars and even hotter women, this doesn't quite have the same charm that's made the past few so good. The major reason for that is the absence of Paul Walker. The interactions between the cast members doesn't feel the same without him...and for myself, it did affected my overall enjoyment of the film.

However, there were some standout moments between Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham (Some of my favorite scenes) and Statham's fight scene with the baby in tow was entertaining...

Bottom line is it that it still feels like a mostly recycled film that will now be stretched out for at least 2 more movies.

Hey Tom! Thanks for dropping in... I'll will have to check this out. :cop:

Is it live from different city's?

 

[Blueline]

I watched this from it's inception. Found that the "expert" panel members wing it because so many laws differ from state to state. Also, Bridgeport Ct. PD had quite a bit of air time because of the activity there.

Due to that, the Mayor of Bridgeport pulled the show stating that it was portraying Bridgeport in a bad light with all the crime going on there. So....I went back to Last Man Standing-Hawaii 50 and Blue Bloods on Friday nights.

 

[Gone2Three]

Michele has the dvr in workout mode on Friday night's :laugh: I'll have to see if I can wrestle the remote away and catch an episode :xszpv:

Keeping Up With The Joneses

It was another rental night here over the weekend. I came across the comedy spy film- Keeping up with the Joneses. Yes, yes i know...it's been done before, however when I found out that Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot was in it I said sure why not! She's easy on the eyes.

Was pleasantly surprised, better than I thought... And funny too (without all the crude humor ) Ehhh, for the buck rental I can definitely say go for it, the Wife and I were laughing through it all the way !

 

[Gone2Three]

May the 4th be with you!



For Walking Dead fan's, and In celebration of Star Wars day!... May the 4th be with you!

Young Sheldon - Big Bang Theory Prequel



This looks really good!...I love Big Bang Theory :clapping:

 

[Blueline]

Started out the Memorial Day weekend with Sgt. York. Outstanding performance by Gary Cooper. Then on to the classic .. The Godfather. Been good viewing so far.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

Aside from being a major improvement over On Stranger Tides, this fifth installment is not really all that bad.The pros are the Visual Effects and Javier Bardem,(playing the villain) Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow had his moments, still the drunken pirate stumbling about, but all other performances were fine. The action sequences were decent enough for me, while most of the other scenes were fairly monotone. Yes... there was those laugh out loud moments and even a celebrity appearance. Dead Men Tell No Tales was a decent movie overall, worth seeing if you've enjoyed the previous 4 and need your swashbuckling fix :duel:
