rapidtrucker78 said:check out Broadchurchโ€”if you can actually stop yourself from bingeing all three seasons in just two days, good for you. ๐Ÿ”

As far as comedies go, Broad City is my favorite.
Itโ€™s brilliant, such a bummer it's over.

I'll give both a look

I know, I was planning to watch it, but now it feels kind of pointless if the plots are identical...

rapidtrucker78, you're actually the first person I've heard say they didn't like the show...๐Ÿค”

This is actually the first time I've ever heard a woman say she isn't a fan of a series starring Joel Kinnaman. ๐Ÿ”

I know, I was planning to watch, but now it feels stupid if the plots are basically identical...

rapidtrucker78, you were actually the first one to say you didn't like the show...๐Ÿค”

Go ahead, then you'll see what total garbage The Killing is.
๐Ÿ”

I didn't like it because it's obvious they wrote the script for a different show based on how popular the first season was; from there, everything just went downhill. The inconsistent characterization is so blatant itโ€™s painful.

They even overcomplicated the ending to the point where nothing made sense anymore.
The best shows are the ones where you actually know the ending before they even start airing. ๐Ÿ”

My husband and I agree it's the worst series ever, at least when it comes to crime dramas. ๐Ÿ˜

John Wick 3

What an absolute powerhouse of a movie. ๐Ÿ˜
Total chaos, honestly. ๐Ÿ˜
Itโ€™s actually refreshing to sit down for some pure, unadulterated action once in a while... you don't even have to think too hard about the plot. ๐Ÿ˜

9/10 ๐Ÿ™

I honestly can't wrap my head around how anyone could not be a fan of the Wick movies. Itโ€™s just one of those things you have to love. ๐Ÿ˜

John Wick 3

What an absolute beast of a movie. ๐Ÿ˜
Just a total powerhouse, honestly. ๐Ÿ˜
Itโ€™s actually good to switch off once in a while and just dive into some hardcore action... you don't really have to use much brainpower. ๐Ÿ˜

9/10 ๐Ÿ™

That was a ridiculous sequence; they definitely went overboard with the violence. The craziest part has to be when he gets shot at the end, falling off the roof only to somehow walk away alive. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿคฃ

Give me a break.

3.4/10

ironranger67 said:I honestly don't get how anyone could not enjoy the Wick movies. Itโ€™s practically impossible not to like them. ๐Ÿ˜

Well, they exist. ๐Ÿ˜

Hanc... that's just the nature of these films. The fact that he survived falling off a roof is the least surprising thing about him surviving everything else in the movie. ๐Ÿ˜
That's just how it goes. ๐Ÿ˜

I have to agree, Wick is absolutely top-tier!
If you had to sum up that entire trio of films with just one single word, it would have to be "headshots"...๐Ÿ˜ฌ
And honestly, those dogs? They managed to steal quite a bit of the spotlight from the rest of the movie too...๐Ÿ˜
๐Ÿ‘
Personally, Iโ€™d put it at a solid 7.5/10, though I rarely find myself giving action flicks anything higher than that...

Joshua Chavez21 said:here they are ๐Ÿ˜

Hanc...that's just how this movie works...the fact that he survived falling off a roof is actually the least weird part of the whole thing; the real miracle is that he managed to survive anything at all during the entire runtime. ๐Ÿ˜
I guess that's just how it goes. ๐Ÿ˜

The only thing is, Keanu and Halle still look fantasticโ€”thereโ€™s no way Ima could ever pull off being over 50.

And honestly, the first part is much better than the second one, which was absolute garbage. ๐Ÿ˜

Have you heard anything about a new Matrix coming out? ๐Ÿ™‚

Wick is king. I absolutely love the world they've built, even if some parts feel totally over-the-top. Itโ€™s just pure action, killer choreography, and just enough dry humor to keep things interestingโ€”honestly, that's exactly why I'm counting down the days until the fourth installment. ๐Ÿ˜

Joshua Chavez21 said:I took a look at the page for *The Killing*. Itโ€™s a heavy watchโ€”dark, gritty, and pretty much relentless. If you're looking for something light to unwind with after work, this definitely isn't it. Itโ€™s one of those series that really leans into the gloom, focusing on the psychological toll of an investigation rather than just the procedural beats. I guess some people find that kind of intensity rewarding, but it can feel a bit exhausting after a while. Still, itโ€™s well-made, even if it leaves you feeling somewhat hollowed out.

John Wick 3โ€”itโ€™s a massive, relentless spectacleโ€”though I suppose whether it actually succeeds depends on how much you value coherent pacing over pure, unadulterated chaos. Itโ€™s loud, itโ€™s violent, and honestly, it feels like the scale is starting to outrun the logicโ€”but then again, maybe that's just the point. Wick is still Wick, and seeing him navigate that impossible mess is probably why people show up. It's a lot to take in.

What an absolute wreckโ€”honestly, just a total disaster. ๐Ÿ˜
Absolute garbage. Just total trash. ๐Ÿ˜
Itโ€™s actually decent to dive into this kind of hardcore action once in a whileโ€”mostly because you don't really need to engage your brain too much. ๐Ÿ˜

9/10 ๐Ÿ™

Thatโ€™s about it for today. ๐Ÿ‘‹

I suppose that's all there is to say about it.
It hit me one eveningโ€”just out of nowhere. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas On TV.
Iโ€™ve seen it beforeโ€”seen it enough to know what to expectโ€”but somehow this time still managed to hit me where it hurts. I couldn't even get to sleep for at least an hour afterward; just sat there feeling completely unsettled.
Honestly, that movie was a total gut punchโ€”the kind of ending that just leaves your brain feeling completely fried. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

ironranger67, have you seen this one?

I actually enjoyed it... since you're a fan of Gomorra, you might find it right up your alley.๐Ÿ™‚

Not yet, but thanks for the heads-up. ๐Ÿ‘>
I've always been a big fan of the lead actorโ€”I've caught a few of his movies and series over the years.

Just finished watching Suburra. ๐Ÿ™
Man, what an incredible movie. You hit the nail on the headโ€”it definitely gives off those same vibes as Gomorra. Though, if Iโ€™m being honest, I think Gomorra had the better soundtrack.
I have to say, that woman from the hotel room was absolutely stunning. ๐Ÿ™‚

hahahaha... I knew that scene would stick with you.๐Ÿ˜

Has anyone else here actually sat down and watched Doom Patrol?
The whole concept feels slightly surreal, featuring these incredibly eccentric, unconventional, and strangely witty heroes... I've only made it about halfway through the first season so far, but I'll be sure to circle back and share some actual thoughts once I've finished the entire thing...

northernviper4, not me. I haven't touched anything superhero-related in agesโ€”I've been strictly on a historical drama kick lately. Just wrapped up > and moved right into >.

It feels incredibly overrated. ๐Ÿ™‚
Then again, everyone has their own taste. ๐Ÿ˜‰
