Maf Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 He was still ugly to look at. Even with the mask on you could tell he was repulsive. I know that’s part of his character that he is supposed to be this loner, prepper type. But I still hated having to watch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acting, script, cinematography and how everything all comes together at the end, how all the questions we have at the beginning are answered in a satisfying conclusion are just perfect and couldn’t in my mind have been done any better if they tried. It is the perfect sequel to the Graphic Novel and perfectly encapsulates the feeling, thoughts and motivations of its characters and properly understands them. Did you miss the episode set in NYC @Maf? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The 'don't put ugly people on TV' comment is so strange I don't know what to make of it. There are plenty of brilliant actors who aren't photogenic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallofbooty Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I don't always agree with @blakey 's enthusiasm for things, uplifting as he is, but I totally agree with him here. At the end of the day arguing about art, music, film is like arguing about you're favourite colour and which is best. I think Watchmen was one of the best produced, engaging and we'll crafted shows I've seen in a good long while. And it's fine if people don't like it. But I'm interested to know which are the better shows of the last few weeks - I'm interested in checking them out @dangerman I find it strange though that people seem to justify their dislike by focusing on reductive, constituent parts. It's a bit like saying you don't like a car because you hate the spare tire. You can reduce anything by so much that it becomes a meaningless debate and ultimately discards and ignores the very thing being discussed. Really, if you don't like something just stop watching, instead of hating it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Speaking of dropping things you aren't enjoying, is anyone here still watching His Dark Materials? I've been trying to read on how it's going but it gets little coverage in the media. I know season 2 is already filmed apparently, so a Subtle Knife adaptation is definitely happening. But I wonder if it has legs beyond that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallofbooty Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I was really looking forward to it but because, as commented, earlier it just didn't click so we abandoned it after the first episode. I also watched BBC's War of the Worlds, again with high hopes, especially as it was set in the right time period. But again it was just lacklustre and a let-down.

There have been a few cool episodes since I've stuck with it and I love Lin-Manuel Miranda's character but it has only been ok. It's just a bit twee, rushed and poorly acted to be up there with the best TV out there. Watching it after Watchmen like we have been on a Monday night does it no favours either as one is a fine French wine and the other is Lambrini.

DANGERMAN Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 @smallofbooty The new series of Mr Robot has been incredible, really well done with some really creative episodes I'm not having a go at anyone for liking what they like, hence the edit to my post. I thought it was a good series overall, very good at points, but it's got problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallofbooty Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I do love Mr Robot and the final series is queued for as soon as I can jump in. It's another example of a brilliant, but very different, show that probably equally divides opinion. I don't think I'd even consider trying to compare them, just say watch (and hopefully enjoy) both!

AndyKurosaki Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Onto episode 3 of Watchmen. Been pretty damn good so far. I’m definitely interested in seeing where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Just worked my way through the Witcher. It's pretty good. But that's coming from someone who played just over 5 hours of Witcher 3 and never read the books so theres that. A wish it communicated the moment in time better as it jumps around decades without anyone or anything looking different so that makes it much harder to follow than it needs to be but other than that performances are fitting and it's generally entertaining. And I wasn't expecting Cavil to do such a good impression of the voice actor from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Mr Robot has finished with 2 final episodes. It's the sort of ending that might sound a bit shit on paper but it works really well. It's the rare thing of a good ending to a TV show. Really good performances and brilliantly shot, bar one episode this final series has been outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 On to Episode 6 of Watchmen, this show is bloody awesome. Definitely one of the year’s absolute best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It’s Sunday so I’ve bust out the old Columbo box set. It’s shaped like a cigar box and it’s hours of heaven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
