yeah I will take your word for it and if its ever free to stream I will try to pick it up but I have had to many disapointments to go after content at this point. Heck im a sucker for superhero movies and have been off them. Friend got me to watch supes and was like meh for me (which was my response to rogue one) but im likely to catch supergirl becuase her a krypto were my favorite parts and then marvel is supposed to do secret wars and I will likely get that and I predict be greatly disapointed.
Franchises are killing movies. Totally predictable and not worth chasing any more. I only watched Andor because my son and I watch stuff and spend time together.
My post is a little over the top because I was so surprised the show was decent. And then of course lead into the ten year old Rogue One was incredible.
But yeah… wait for a friend to send you the mpegs… poke around even. I’m sure they are out there.
and I get that. Its kinda what I was trying to say. Its so unusual for something to be decent it kinda gets the reaction that its great which im talking internet in general but I also feel that. Its like I expect crap so im pretty pumped when something isn't.
I’ve taken to watching the “great” films. There are tons of top 100 lists where you find gems you might never watch.
I just watched an early 70s version of THE LONG GOODBYE. Directed by Robert Altman. It’s amazing.
And then… all of Altman’s movies are great. Kubrick. Peter Greenaway. David Lynch.
Just find a director you like and watch them all.
It beats throwing up in your mouth every time there’s new franchise swill.
Yeah I have been watching older shows and films. Even if they are not great its not costing me anything and its at least in general original.
What’s one that you remember as being good? A recommendation?
I have been watching a lot of broadcast tv and things like son of sven and many movies are just kinda interesting. Like this how to make a monster has sorta a different take on horror but I saw "Quigley Down Under" again and I have seen that few times and like. I mean its not great like lotr but its just kinda different and its from the 90's but feels like it could have been made much earlier. Im not even big on westerns.
