Toni Collette awesome as usual

the rest of the world agrees with you, it's fine :D

finished S1 of schitts creek and I love it but GOD the vet boyfriend and mutt are just charisma voids. granted they have some serious competition but they can't leave the show quick enough to suit me

s2 shakes things up more

I will watch Toni Collette in p much anything

xp

the bearded dude was one of the worst characters
such a void!! i continued to find the vet excessively wholesome but that is what this show is about i guess

i thought it was funny that two ridic attractive dudes just happen to live in the town

But one of them is named Mutt Schitt, so a lot to overcome...

wait his last name was Schitt too?!

yep he’s Roland’s son

Has anyone here braved The I Land yet?

Is it so bad it's actually entertaining or just plain terrible?

I am on episode 4. It's pretty bad. Everyone is a shitty character making stupid choices although there is kind of a reason for that. And it's Neil Labute! And I could not figure out who this brawny guy was and it was Alex Pettyfer!

We are actually bailing on it. I think were about to stop on episode 3 but then ended up doing something else while episode 4 started playing.

I hate Neil Labute, but your post made me wonder what he's been up to. First, I forgot he made the "Wicker Man" remake! Second, I had not even heard of his last couple of writer/director films, "Some Velvet Morning" and "Dirty Weekend." But! Both of those movies star Alice Eve, who I had never heard of, either, but who I have just learned through wiki has "heterochromia, a condition that causes her eyes to have irises of different colours. Her left eye is blue and her right eye is green." Which caught my, er, eye, because "The I-Land" (which I had also never heard of) stars Kate Bosworth, who for some reason I knew *also* has heterochromia, with a hazel right eye and a blue left eye! Strange coincidence.

Heh, just noticed: "The Eye-Land!"

I hate Neil LaBute too. I think everyone does? I was reading a review of I-land where it has this very otm line "Bosworth makes her scenes something weird and different, like an overheated Tennessee Williams play that nobody else was warned they were participating in. "

haha!

New eps of Hip Hop Evolution

I guess LaBute only got cancelled as a playwright...

I started s6 of Orange Is The New Black but I realised I couldn't remember anything that had happened in the last season and kind of don't care enough to put up with watching that level of cruelty.

yup

Mutt is such a bad actor it is astonishing

he is like a human spray beard

Toys That Made Us s3 on Nov 15, yay

anybody who was raised in the 80s or 90s should try this out

I was bored so I gave the i-land a good go but it is laughably awful. Literally everything about it. Worst thing I've watched in a while, and I watched I Love You, Man the other day.

It's kind of crazy right? Like the dialogue, the acting, the laziness of what is going on.

I thought the same thing about that Birdbox/Quiet Place ripoff with Stanley Tucci in it. I couldn't believe how awful it was.

wow, i-land is getting some amazing reviews

we watched another episode last night. We have two episodes left if we choose to finish. I don't know why we are doing this to ourselves besides it's the first option right now on our netflix.

Otm Yerac, it's sooooo lazy! There's a great/terrible bit involving someone trying to escape from prison and it's just laughable, the actor involved literally looks likes she's already tired of this shit. I admire yr perseverance but, having now skipped to the end, I feel obligated to warn you - it doesn't get any better.

The first episode, I kept saying why would you try to rape someone on your first day after waking up on an island without your memory? Your first day!

yeah, give it 24 hours at least!

god that sounds fucking awful, I'll probably watch it. I watched the stupid similar one where all the kids were transported to a town that looked just like their own but with no adults....The Society. It's awful. This sounds worse.

The Great Hack is a fine documentary even if I think it overstates CA's actual effectiveness.

Anyone else seen any of Marianne? I watched an episode last night (as per a recommendation from Andrew Male who has a pretty flawless hit rate) and found it generic and hokey but pretty unsettling in places. The premise is pretty much a Stephen King short (horror writer starts writing to stop nightmares; finishes series of books and the nightmares return but it seems the nightmare has invaded reality...) but with a nice folk-horror edge - almost like something out of Robert Aickman.

I Land is way worse than The Society (which we watched all of).

I like the Two Ferns movie.

Marianne was fine - I enjoyed it, nothing mind blowing.

Started watching The Innocents. First episode was intriguing (TM Netflix) but assuming it turns to shit fairly rapidly as I don't know a single person who watched it.

I don't generally like or find police dramas interesting but we watched Unbelievable and it was pretty good. Partly because of Merritt Wever being insanely watchable.

6 eps in... it's harrowing

Big Mouth's back on Friday!

Avatar the Last Airbender is available now - if anyone hasn't seen it, it's good.

akm xpost. I set up my netflix in Chile so the fees are 4,990; 5,990; and 8,990clp for the 3 tiers. There is currency fluctuation of course but it's been in the $8 range at least for the last year (I just checked) regardless if I am using it in the US or Europe.

"Think of your favorite movie and I’ll bet you think of a vivid and memorable setting," said Horowitz, a correspondent for MTV News. "This series brings those iconic locations back to life with the participants themselves. As a film lover, I'm honored to be the guy to bring viewers along for the ride."

How is this not verbatim Turkington?

oh shit for On Cinema thread

oh damn wrong thread.

Yerac take my hand

let me moisturize first.

Thoughts on The Politician? Getting terrible reviews but I found it enjoyable, even if it lost the plot completely 3/4 of the way through like almost every other Ryan Murphy series I've seen (well, mainly, most AHS series). There were some annoying characters and weirdly dropped or truncated storylines, but on the whole I liked it. I didn't realize it was intended to run into a second season until the last episode which did a lot to course correct where it went wrong toward the end so I'm looking forward to season 2.
