I'm hanging out for the 3rd season of Cobra kai.

I was surprised by the popularity and quality of the show. I did expect it to be a little B-grade. But the seasons have turned out to be decent. Can't wait for the next season.

Looking forward to seeing the Picard tv series. Based on Captain Picard of Star Trek.

Based on? I thought it was actually him?

Doctor Sleep is a violent follow up to The Shining. So, if you cannot handle The Shining, you won't be able to handle Doctor Sleep.

The trailer did not do the movie much favour. If you like movies like "Rush", this movie should be just as good for your tastes. The final 20 minutes is quite good, even if it is a little bit of a tear-jerker.

Does that get you hard?

No, I find blacks, Indians, Asians unattractive. If you are any guide, I would probably find Slovenians positively repulsive.

Not a discussion for this thread, Turd.

The Irishman

Quite a long movie at 3:20 odd, but kept me involved all the way.

Makes one re-ponder the possibilities about the assassination of JFK. Huh

Gangster movie par excellence. Beautifully shot. Crisp editing.

All the greats are there:

Robert De Niro ... Frank Sheeran
Al Pacino ... Jimmy Hoffa
Joe Pesci ... Russell Bufalino
Harvey Keitel ... Angelo Bruno
Ray Romano ... Bill Bufalino
Bobby Cannavale ... Skinny Razor
Anna Paquin ... Older Peggy Sheeran
Stephen Graham ... Anthony 'Tony Pro' Provenzano
Stephanie Kurtzuba ... Irene Sheeran
Jack Huston ... Robert Kennedy / RFK
Kathrine Narducci ... Carrie Bufalino
Jesse Plemons ... Chuckie O'Brien
Domenick Lombardozzi ... Fat Tony Salerno
Paul Herman ... Whispers DiTullio
Gary Basaraba ... Frank 'Fitz' Fitzsimmons

One of Joe Pesci's finest roles I reckon.
Ray Romano was surprisingly good too.
Robert De Niro being Robert De Niro again ... but a very good performance.
Al Pacino was good, maybe not as good as in The Godfather movies?

I thought painting houses meant painting houses too. Shocked

The 2025 election could be a shocker.

Yeah, I watched this the other night.

I enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I'd consider a classic.

Good performances by everyone.

I laughed out loud at the scene about the frozen fish on the back seat of the car.

"What sort of fish?"

"I dunno".

"Where did you buy it?"

"From a fish shop".

"What fish shop?"

etc.

Reminded me of Tarantino.

Good movie, worth a look, but not a "must see" in my book.

I give it seven fishes out of ten.
