Stuff I've Watched out of *****
The Last Duel - ***
Only Murders in the Building: **
Squid Games: **.5
Partly for his realism/plausibility (I've known a lot of buffoons and tough-guy wannabes in my lifetime) and his heartbreaking downfall. He is annoying and stupid (partly why a lot of people don't like his character, but I always thought that was the point. While you can argue that his brashness is why everyone takes him as complete joke, I think the show implies that this is an act initially brought as a way to get his father's attention gone horribly, horribly wrong, and what makes this even more tragic is that there are several instances in which he shows he actually has some potential as a person: he seems more savvy with modern technology than his cousin Nick, has some instances of wit and can even concoct some decent schemes (like when he stole those cars), but thanks to a combination of factors within and beyond his power, he becomes a ticking bomb and brings up his own downfall. In many ways, he's an updated version of Franky from Springsteen's Highway Patrolman.Quoting Ezee E (view post)

Just because...
The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild
The last book I read was...
The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
The (New) World
In my typical fashion, I tried one episode (because of its reputation, see also: Mad Men, the Sopranos) and immediately dropped it when that 1% of the full package didn't blow me away. I'm not good at tv.
I've seen most of S1 of The Wire. What I saw was really great.

It's impossible to make a fair assessment of that particular show with a single episode. You need to watch at least the first season.Quoting Idioteque Stalker (view post)

My new one btw is that WW84 is almost as good as the first Wonder Woman. Better? No but I really enjoyed it a lot.

It's funny you would call out Marvel because most of their TV episodes are barely 30 minutes. WandaVision the first couple are 22-24 min. Do you have time for dinner?Quoting transmogrifier (view post)
The Wire is 60 full on 60+ minutes each episode.
This doesn't make sense to me. (... bc how many hours have you sunk into Returnal?)Quoting Idioteque Stalker (view post)
Taken to its illogical conclusion, it means you wouldn't have time for anything, bc everything in adult life is a trade off. Eating and sleeping cut into your movie watching time. So does going out with friends or reading a book. So do other movies --- 5 bad movies waste the opportunity to watch 5 good movies.
These would be fair points except I already know I like Returnal, eating, sleeping, etc. Those things have the benefit of revealing their pleasures early on. TV requires what I consider an inordinate amount of time invested before I can make a fair judgment (I have to watch all of the first season of the Wire, get to season four of Mad Men, etc.). All of my favorite TV shows are comedies (it made me laugh so I'll watch another episode a la Curb Your Enthusiasm/Futurama/Nathan For You), series in which the episodes stand on their own (Star Trek/Twilight Zone/Jeopardy), or are only one season long (Freaks and Geeks/Horace and Pete). The huge prestige dramas of the past 25 years may never be a part of my world unless a partner drags me along for the ride.Quoting Irish (view post)
EDIT: Re-reading this, haha Returnal, eating, sleeping, etc. You know, the essentials.
