Just watched the trailer. Yes, this is a nitpick, but still.
Shouldn’t the umbrellas have the reflective material on the outside?

but would it have gotten a screen adaptation if not for the popularity of OMintB? debatable.

LOL!

28 Months Later
grasshopper rex 7 points 4 months ago*.

There has been speculation that the long-anticipated 3rd installment of this franchise could finally be happening. Danny Boyle confirmed that he and Alex Garland have had serious discussions about the project and Cillian Murphy has expressed interest in reprising his role. Given the length of time since the 2nd movie and the nature of the Rage virus, the working title will most likely be changed to 28 Years Later.

Researcher 1 points yesterday.

Good one!

The Thursday Murder Club
grasshopper rex 1 points 2 days ago.

So it’s kind of a rip-off of Only Murders in the Building. Let’s hope the casting and writing can overcome the lack of originality.

Ha! You’re slipping, rex!

Vera (2011)
Piglet 2 points 4 days ago.

Some sad news! Season 14 will be the final season of Vera.

Researcher 1 points 2 days ago.

At least, we still one more season…time enough to brace for impact!

The Thursday Murder Club
Piglet 4 points 2 days ago.

The Thursday Murder Club follows a group of pensioners living in a luxury retirement community who set out to solve the murder of a property developer. Author Richard Osman revealed that Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Ben Kingsley will play three of the four sleuths. No release date yet.

…adding to my list…thanks Piglet!

Transcendence (2014)
Researcher 2 points 5 days ago.

A very young Elon Musk! I thought he was pro-AI…wouldn’t mind knowing his reasoning in supporting/participating in this project.
Very good watch! Even the supporting actors were favorites. Cautionary of course but not too preachy.
4 of 5 for me.

The Incident (2017)
Researcher 2 points 5 days ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Truth be told, this never would have caught my interest if it weren’t for the recap I watched on Y-Tube. It hit my feed on account of me watching recaps all the time, not because of the subject matter. But, once I watched some of the recap, I hurried over to watch the whole movie. And it was well worth the watch! Interesting take on the groundhog day time loop. Watched it twice ‘cause I wanted to figure it out for myself but I still had to re-watch the recap ‘cause I couldn’t. Highly recommend this one if you’re into time loops.

PS. The recap I watched: Family Ends Up Trapped in a Time Loop For 35 Years Driving on an Endless Road

Transformers One (2024)
Researcher 1 points 6 days ago.

It’s nice to watch lighthearted stuff every once in a while, but this looks too kiddy action for me. I know it’s just the trailer…still the other Transformer movies were definitely for adults.

Slow roll at start but excellent battle. Better than Part One. Snyder delivers!!

Holy cow! This was just like a car crash: horrifyingly trauma-inducing but I couldn’t look away!!
And to think, I dislike Westerns!
Can’t figure out why I even went “all in!”
Oh…Fahey and Adkins…damn! I always fall for the uber testosterone ones!

Damaged (2024)
Researcher 4 points 13 days ago. (Contains Spoilers)

So, revenge as that famously cold dish…not quite. I liked the sophomoric attempt at misdirection, but there was something off putting in the delivery…or was it the timing…or both?
Only one writer to blame here (Capaldi). I’ve always been leery of projects where an unknown writer is also a cast member, especially when cast as the lead.
And it seemed almost inhumane to see both Jackson and Cassel in supporting roles to an unknown. The denouement fell short due to the casting. In fact, I believe the writer’s ego made the casting a mistake. IMO, Jackson made more sense as the detective in the active investigation with Cassel as the consultant framing Capaldi (or even Hannah) for the murders. Even the supporting cast is comprised of seasoned actors that seemed under-utilized: John Hannah, Kate Dickie (the Chief), Brian McCardie
As I write this, I’m wondering if it was a poorly written script that the talent couldn’t save or is it just that an egotistic writer got in the way of the casting…hmm…or both?
Too bad…it could’ve been a contender!

Delicious!! Olivia did not disappoint and Timothy Spall was excellent! Well done all around!

Ripley (2024)
grasshopper rex 2 points 22 days ago.

There’s today’s watch. A revisit of the movie and then a binge of this.

Researcher 1 points 21 days ago*.

Great idea! I don’t remember that detail in the description, about the dad hiring Ripley, being in the movie.
Sigh! There goes my To Do list!

Edit: Just read the movie’s description…I guess I missed that detail!

Sugar (2024)
Researcher 0 points 21 days ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Granted, I’m only 15 mins into the 1st episode and I do like the neo-noir style, which is probably why I’m getting “Chinatown” (1974) vibes but, if you’re into that style, I think this one’s a winner. Hopefully, it pans out. Also, it seems made for Farrell…fits him like a worn pair of shoes!

Researcher 1 points 21 days ago. (Contains Spoilers)

PS. The minute I saw the granddaughter’s pics is when I got the abused runaway vibe…reminding me of Faye Dunaway in Chinatown.

The Acolyte (2024)
Piglet 2 points 3 months ago.

Still no release date but here is a bit more info on this new series. “The Acolyte,” the first “Star Wars” series set outside the Skywalker Saga, could be the change we need. The upcoming series is a mystery-thriller set 100 years before “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace.” A Jedi and their former Jedi master investigate a series of crimes in the final days of the High Republic era, a peaceful time before the Dark Side starts to stir trouble.”

Researcher 2 points 1 month ago.

Just saw the trailer…FYI, first 2 episodes drop 04 JUN 2024…just in case.

Das Signal (2024)
grasshopper rex 2 points 1 month ago.

This one is pretty good https://www.primewire.tf/tv/1456795-three-body or you can wait for the Netflix version that drops in 2 weeks https://www.primewire.tf/tv/1376385-3-body-problem
Lots of mind-bending, physics-defy stuff going on in it, plus metaversal gaming and 1st contact. I’m working on finishing up the links for the Chinese version.

Researcher 2 points 1 month ago*.

Whoa! Trailer for ~6795 looks trippy and don’t mind checking out ~6385 when it comes out. Will definitely add both to library. Thanks for the heads-up, rex!
Edit: Just noticed I already have ~6385 in my “watching” list!

My review of this week’s episode: DAMN!!

Constellation (2024) S1 E4
TooMuchFire 2 points 1 month ago*. (Contains Spoilers)

Simply put two realities bleeding into one another and the astronauts are being gas lit. The daughter has been the only one to realize this and Noomi hasn’t caught on yet but hoping she will soon. Noomi loves these complex stories and characters and its why she is such an amazing actor. I m loving this!! Its all fun and games until you start messing around with quantum physics and are not open to the outcomes.

Researcher 2 points 1 month ago.

Well put, TooMuchFire! I agree on all points. I’m enjoying the feel of “not quite getting it.” And thus far, Noomi’s choices have been exact matches to my type of quirk.

Constellation (2024) S1 E5
wildfrontier 4 points 1 month ago.

The premise is. An object can be in two places/states at once, depending on the observer. Think of it as 2 multiverses overlapping. The mystery is still whether it’s due to going into outer space or caused by the experiment.

Researcher 5 points 1 month ago.

Thanks wildfrontier. I did mention Schrodinger’s cat early on. I think the combo of space and experiment is at the center. Just a bit miffed at all the melodrama and lack of development. Besides, a bit of self-deprecation never hurt anybody! ;-)

Constellation (2024) S1 E5
Researcher 2 points 1 month ago.

You know, every week I say to myself, “This is the week. This is the week the bulb will blaze brightly over my head. This is the week when I finally figure out WTF is going on.”

Sigh! This was not the week!

But, I’ll be back next week. Expecting clarification…lucidity…the brightly-glowing bulb.

Insanity, n’est-ce pas?

Death in Paradise (2011) S13 E5
Researcher 1 points 1 month ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I really hope they don’t try to make her a part of the “team.” You”re right about The Ex Effect. I for one don’t need any backstories. Why do “they” feel the need to do that?!

Constellation (2024) S1 E4
Lazeistheman2 3 points 1 month ago.

At this rate their will be a 100% chance of no season 2. The episodes are being made out of place. Story is confusing and no one knows what’s going on really. Its laughable. The potential in this show is very good but is currently being run by what it seems to be, 8 year old’s.

Researcher 1 points 1 month ago.

I feel better…I thought I was losing it!

Elsbeth (2024)
grasshopper rex 3 points 1 month ago.

It’s an inverted detective story. Most recently we’ve seen it with Poker Face, which I loved.

Researcher 1 points 1 month ago.

Me too!

Elsbeth (2024) S1 E1
enjoy77 2 points 1 month ago.

Loved this character on the Good Wife. Elsbeth is the modern female version of Columbo — but wayyy better!

Researcher 1 points 1 month ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I just finished stating the same (in other words, of course!) on the main page. The start of the episode immediately brought “Columbo” to mind!!!

Elsbeth (2024)
Researcher 2 points 1 month ago. (Contains Spoilers)

My love of TV crime drama stems from the ‘70s. In fact, the only time I was allowed to stay up past my bedtime was for the “Mystery Movie” that alternated between “Columbo,” “McCloud,” “McMillan & Wife,” and “Banacek” (all my faves!)…and only because my Dad and I both loved the fledgling TV crime drama genre!
To me, the beginning of the pilot seemed reminiscent of “Columbo” in that the killer is seen committing the crime at the beginning of the episode and then we see how the investigator (here it’s an outsider-lawyer) connects the dots while getting under the skin of everyone around them. Nostalgia for that TV era means I’ll stay put for this!
Besides, I enjoy Carrie Preston in this type of role as I think she does quirky genius very well.

Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent (2024)
Researcher 2 points 2 months ago.

Nice start! Just finished the 1st episode and I feel right at home with L&O Toronto! Enough quirk and uber smarts to keep my attention. Nicely paced, too! Yeah, I’m watching alright!

Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent (2024)
Researcher 0 points 2 months ago.

I get how some can be excited at the Toronto aspect. Being a New Yorker, I’ve always had mega feels for the franchise. But D’Onofrio’s absence was a letdown for me. I will tune in to hear this version of the theme song. And since this is the first attempt at another L&O:CI, I’ll stick around to see if this can fill the hole in my heart! Ya never know!

The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (2024)
Researcher 2 points 2 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

IMO, they waited too long for this installment. Frankly, I don’t care now if Rick and Michonne find each other or not; I did when the bridge blew up. I was curious to see what organization had helicopters. But now, so what! Besides, I always thought it was arrogant to think Rick’s crew was the only one capable of moving forward. But, five minutes in I was sick of Rick’s musings! As usual, I blame the writers!

Oh I will watch it just for Cate but. movies that have been delayed for as long as this one have been done so for a reason and it is almost never a good one.

Holy moley! What the heck is going on?! Is it that they’ve split? Like Schrodinger’s cat?

Constellation (2024)
grasshopper rex 8 points 2 months ago.

It would be nice if they dropped the whole season at once, but I do like that they do the first 3 at least so you have a chance to get a good feel for the show and decide whether it’s worth watching all of it. So often 1st episodes are a bit overwhelming with introductions to all the players and setting up the story.

Researcher 4 points 2 months ago.

So true re overwhelming 1st episodes. I am liking the 3-episode-drop…wouldn’t mind it becoming the norm.

Constellation (2024)
Researcher 5 points 2 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

When it comes to playing scientific roles, Barbara Sukowa is the best! This type of film shouldn’t exist without her participation. Best remembered from the TV series “12 Monkeys.” Weird ‘cause with the accent, you’d expect her to be the evil scientist but, when I see her, I feel that everything is under control. Of course, this was only minutes into the 1st episode so, we shall see!

True Detective (2014) S4 E6
dampyiel2200 1 points 2 months ago.

I disagree just because I watched it assuming it would have an ending worth watching and then being extremely disappointed by it would make it a loser because if they make a season 5 I’ll think to myself season 4 was so bad is it even worth giving this one a shot.

Researcher 1 points 2 months ago.

I see your point.

dampyiel2200 -1 points 2 months ago.

Wow.this season was really bad.i kept hoping for it to get better and it disappointed on every front the season finale was very very bad. I can’t remember the other seasons very well but supernatural stuff wasn’t real was it?just evil people doing evil things.

Researcher 2 points 2 months ago.

But you hung in there, didn’t you?! That makes it a winner if you stuck around till the end.

Researcher 1 points 2 months ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Well, all ends but one tied up nicely so, I guess the latter.

Worked for me but, still wondering if the tongue story is a “let’s see if they like it” veiled attempt at a feeler for what kind of audience would clock in for a 2nd season. I certainly would!
