Cool intro.
Oh a whim I decided to take today off. I know what i'm doing for the next 12 hours.

Episode 5; These story arcs are not all that interesting.
Hmm. Episode 7 thoughts.

Episode 7 and 8 are the highlights so far. The build is getting worth it.
Watched first episode last night. WOW. Those fight scenes were fantastic, or at least far above what I was expecting.
Yeah, they killed it on the fight choreography. And they don't fuck it up with shooting them well, too!
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
I was thinking the choreography was clunkly and slow. There's one fight scene in a hallway (fake one shot) that goes back and forth on angles- that was pretty good, the rest have been over edited with punch sound FX that makes me think of Indiana Jones. I noticed it early but as the season goes on, it becomes less obvious.

Finished. Dialog in the last episode is painful.

Dina and I are about to start episode 4... lovin' it so far. The intro is pretty great, although it follows in the footsteps of recent stuff like "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "Fringe", "Black Sails" etc.
We love Deborah Ann Woll even more now. Just a solid, solid show.
I was thinking the same thing. More like a combo of Nip/Tuck and Fringe with a Trent Reznor twist.Quoting [ETM] (view post)
One thing I forgot: this is pretty much the first time I've seen anyone on US television and/or movies do real, actual Russian. There are slight accents, but it feels real. I know it largely makes no difference to Americans, but I truly appreciate the effort to at least appear authentic.
What about "The Americans"? (You might not watch it.) But a number of the actors are actually Russian or speak it as one of their languages (Nina, Arkady, Oleg) so it's probably good. And they have longs scenes in Russian.Quoting [ETM] (view post)
I am finally getting around to watching this. It's solid but nothing spectacular so far.
...and the milk's in me.
Should we just make a "Daredevil (Season 1)" thread? Contains thoughts a little better for future reference, especially if people don't necessarily watch it within these first 48 hours of its release.
Thought the first two episodes were strong though. Even just from the cinematography in the trailers I got a Hannibal vibe, and the show maintains a similar chilly grit to its look, but it's kind of funny just how already having that feeling going in, the opening credits kind of went all the way with the similarity.

Last 11 things I really enjoyed:
Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
Safe (Haynes, 1995)
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
Diva (Beineix, 1981)
Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)
Outside of the cool fight at the end of episode 2, the first three episodes were a chore. The supporting cast is awful. Maybe it's because I've been high on The Flash recently.
Sure why not?
STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

Foggy is pretty bad. I realllly like Dawson as Night Nurse, and the guy they cast as Urich. Woll is pretty good as Karen Page too.Quoting Watashi (view post)
I think I'm jaded because I was a huge fan of Smallville despite its flaws, and all the comic based shows since have blown that out of the water. Maybe I just cant be impartial because I'm so happy to have cool comic book shows.
Haven't seen The Flash, but... wot?Quoting Watashi (view post)
I made a new thread for clarity.
...and the milk's in me.
I don't like the dude playing Foggy but Cox and Woll are excellent through the first few eps, and Fisk is appropriately slow played as a force to be reckoned with. The action is brutal.
Finished the show. Really like it, even if that development at the end of episode 12 is really questionable, for lots of reasons.
The Wilson-Vanessa dinner scene was the highlight of the season for me. I also don't have a problem at all with the end of Ep 12. The confrontation was too good for it to have ended up as a copout. I respect the follow through.
Movie Theater DiaryQuoting Donald Glover
I'm currently on episode 11. I like the fighting but I like the court room stuff more. Unfortunately they seem to go more to the fighting. This isn't better than some of the other super hero shows, but it's still fun. I actually really like Foggy. Obviously since I am marathoning it I'm into it, but if I was more into it I would be done by now.
Episode 3: holy moley suicide. Show continues to surprise.
Also, I like that they're doing their own little section of MCU interconnectness by setting up Iron Fist and Luke Cage so overtly already. I didn't catch any references to Jessica Jones, but maybe I missed it.
