  1. i voted republican because kamala hadn't really convinced me.
  2. i agree and while january jones played it fine and it was never destined to be a likable character, her scenes are unwatchable because of her plotlines. so it's not really on her, but she suffers, much like skyler white. the real winner for the worst character on the best show... she was so bad they wrote her off midseason and never mentioned her again.
  3. something tells me this is going to be a long thread filled with women.
  4. you ever hear a governor talk and just know you want to open a bar with them?
  5. for me and @Hank Kingsley, it's the japanese game show:
  6. so we meet 3 chicks who have been pals since high school and carrie coon is the loser? ok.
  7. betsy needs her own show on tiktok.
  8. all the more reason to hurry the fuck up.
  9. he posted on this thread 2 days ago.
  10. let's assume yes and get this thing going.
  11. slow horses is one of the best shows on tv. you should get back on that. the bullshit gazette?
  12. i thought i read someplace that the 50th was going to show/recreate 1 sketch per season of the show (their favorite or most famous or something?). no idea how accurate that is, but i'm sure they're trying to one-up the 40th, which will be difficult. if they're recreating some of the sketches, that would explain chevy.
  13. i finally got around to watching it and just finished it. i liked the characters but something about the split story bugged me. i can do serial killer or i can do personal vendetta against cross, but i can't do both. i think storyflow suffered because of it. fbi lady won 3rd place in the linda cardellini look-a-like contest. oh, and this is nitpicky as shit, and probably kinda racist, but it bothered me how there were 3 main male black cops (well, 2 cops and 1 former cop) and they all had the same exact amish/lebron beard. it was easy to tell them apart, i'm not that racist, but it was distracting and easily avoided. would love to see them settle into a solid story for s2. i don't know the patterson books but i assume there are plenty to choose from.
  14. so wait, you're gonna know what happens before we do? that hardly seems fair.
  15. worst case, if we don't have enough players, let's go nl or al only.
  16. at first i was afraid, i was petrified.
  17. @Scraps @Derka @tokamak @txhorns @VolenteHawk @Capn81
  18. sounds like a lot of you enjoyed the first one. i've only seen a few minutes of the first movie. in one scene, affleck had an accent. in another scene, he did not have an accent. i thought this trailer might clear up the mystery, but it did not. were there some scenes in the first movie where he faked an accent?
  19. dylan has had some trouble keeping a job for very long. he even tried his hand at the waystar royco management training program.
  20. there were some interesting glimmers in ep4. lots of overlap with current shows. silo, severance, fallout, etc.
  21. like i would be caught dead on lulz.
  22. i was today years old when i learned that is voiced by otherwise known as sen stackhouse from the west wing. mind blown.
  23. hopefully the entirety of season 3 went to jump into town lake.
  24. scarface is trash. the worst of 80's filmmaking. the untouchables also has some 80's feel, but in a great way. i love that movie. i don't know what constitutes a "gangster movie" and what doesn't, but there's a line in pulp fiction (paraphrasing) when jules is talking about jimmy's wife who's gonna come home and see in her kitchen "a bunch of gangsters doing a bunch of gangster shit". i don't really consider pulp fiction to be a gangster movie, but that phrase is how i've described snatch, which is a great fucking gangster movie. in fact, i saw it last friday at the new beverly (the old theater that tarantino bought and renovated across the street from el coyote, where sharon tate had her last meal). i've seen it probably 30x but rarely start to finish, and it holds up. road to perdition, while also possibly not a true "gangster movie", has a much more honest depiction of frank nitti, but i can still enjoy the cartoon character from the untouchables. i watch road to perdition whenever it's on. i'm not sure you can get a better cast than hanks, newman, jude law, daniel craig, stanley tucci. the cinematography and music is also insane. capone was supposed to be a character with 1-2 scenes, but they cut them. smart move. godfather movies goodfellas snatch road to perdition a bronx tale i also have a soft spot in my heart for barry levinson's bugsy. huge cast, great performances from beatty and bening. often overlooked film. and harvey keitel is hilarious in it.
