For sure. Also, "Clue: The Movie" has had a long tail.

We've caught up to 4 episodes now. The acting and actors and writing and direction are all great, the only problem we have at all, really, is that the guy is such an asshole from the very start (and, of course, we already know he dies from minute one), that it's almost sadistic (or I guess masochistic, from a viewer's pov) to dedicate a further episode each to why each sister specifically hates him enough to want him dead.

We just saw episode 5, and holy shit, there are 10 episodes of this?! Five more?! It's good, well made and everything, but Jesus, this could have been one movie long, or five episodes long. But 10?! Per my previous post, I'm worried they might have lost me with the cat incident. Is every episode just going to be the same horrible thing again and again? Another example of a person being the worst person in the world? I really hope this develops into something more, but I'm starting to fear it doesn't.

i stopped as soon as it became clear that the lead male murderee was going to be overwritten as the worst conceivable person and they weren't going to let off there so why bother watching

A lot of suppositions about a show that’s been fleshing out the backstory of five different sisters huh. Are they going to produce five more from the woodwork or something? Maybe they added that whole storyline about the investigation of his death for no reason at all.

I watched The Quiet Girl last night. Irish movie set in the 80's about a girl with horrible parents who send her away to stay at a farm for a few months. Was almost blubbing at the end, and it isn't a schmaltzy movie, some very subtle performances and it's a good movie.

What was that on? I’m interested in that too.

it's on amazon as a pay for movie, but I got it from an nzb torrent site.

You can rent it on Apple TV also

Finally got around to The Bear this weekend, chugged it in two sittings. Re: the amount of staff in the restaurant, y'all would be freaking out at the number of staff at the 75-seat place where I tend bar. Back of house is four in the kitchen, one expo, one salads/desserts, one dishwasher. FOH is host, 3 servers, 1 or 2 bartenders depending on the night. Anyway, I enjoyed it.

Watched that on Saturday, woke up on Sunday, thought about the ending and almost started crying again. Great film, Great performances, Great use of a Kimberley biscuit.

"Great use of a Kimberley biscuit"

yeah how the placement of a biscuit can be such an incredibly moving scene

I thought the book was beautiful and heartbreaking, I didn't know it had been made into a film - I'm not sure I could take it.

(the book, or story, being Foster by Claire Keegan)

yeah I saw that on the credits and imagined the book might be much more depressing than the movie

i finally started watching Dopesick & am pleasantly surprised so far

i loved the book & went in thinking the show was a pointless waste of time but it does a good job of distilling the book’s larger points

keaton is the king obv, always great

Finale of Primal was great (although the fanbois seem to hate it). Really hoping we get another season at some point.

Dopesick hit a lot of predictable beats (I mean, it is based on real life) but I thought it was solidly made and well-acted, certainly worth a watch

I know RD isn't exactly a suspense thriller but could you all start a thread? I haven't gotten to this season yet and don't want to know these details

Tbh, the breadth of this thread has always kind of confused me

it’s literally everything that’s not on netflix afaict

Yeah basically that. And then there'll be dedicated threads for shows that enough ilxors watch. Surprised RD hasnt got one already tbh

I think it's because there are some shows that warrant discussion and predictions - Severance, LotR, GoT, For All Mankind, whatever - and some shows like Reservation Dogs that are just incredibly good. So a RD thread would for the most part be more or less what it is here. "Wow, another great episode, this show is incredible!" Whereas Game of Thrones is all "The girl who just got assaulted by her brother, does she actually speak dragon or is it just the witch's magic that helps her understand?"

it could just be a thread where we call each other shitass

A whole thread dedicated to calling each other shitass and proclaiming our love for RD would be kinda therapeutic

i would lurk an RD / shitass thread for sure

RD was just renewed for S3 btw

"Wow, another great episode, this show is incredible!"

ok but my problem is the posts were more like "I loved when [thing] happened" and I haven't had a chance to see [thing] yet. Not really a "spoiler" but still a little irritating since a) I would avoid a dedicated RD thread until I caught up and b) we have the capacity to hide text if you simply must post plot details on this thread.

I'm fine with this thread becoming basically a "what are you watching?" thread. Given how asynchronous viewing habits are now and how much services vary globally, it makes sense to check if anyone cares about the show you're discussing before starting a dedicated thread. But if you're coming here after every ep to talk about it with other posters, just start a thread, that's what they're for, plus they can have a life of their own for future viewers

ok ep9 prompted me to create the res dogs thread go here shitasses

Thread Where We Call Each Other Shitass & Proclaim Our Love For RESERVATION DOGS

God, I enjoyed the heck out of 'The Bear', the lead is kinda amazing looking too, they should make a scorching biopic about the lives of Minimalist composers just to get him to be a young Philip Glass.

Hoping for a second season but it seems pretty tied up.

Think I read somewhere that it was renewed. Some trepidation about that given how it ended but I guess if a second season is a letdown the first will still stand on its own nicely.

I can see one S2 plotline through my own bar POV -- presumably the new place will serve alcohol. One hotshot drink scientist with a million ideas for their cocktail program, "needing" full kitchen access to create dozens of syrups and Campari powder and dehydrated citrus wheels and such, chafing when they're not addressed as "chef"... a liquor budget that matches the kitchen budget in the hands of one newcomer...conflict! And maybe Richie spending a lot of time drinking for free instead of getting work done...

I spent so much time trying to figure out where I had seen Cicero before (without using IMDb) then I realised it was Flatliners :)

My mate was calling it 'How To Make It In Chicago', which I thought was unfair, but I do gravitate more toward shows where ppl are fucked up but not *too* fucked up, and things don't just endlessly spiral from bad to worse.

Oliver Platt has been in a ton of things

Chicago montage that opened the final episode followed by single take of Carmy at the AA meeting was an incredible 1-2 punch. The rest of the episode didn't live up but that was a lofty high to try and reach

XP - I looked at his page and yeah tons, but not much that I've seen, apart from The West Wing and Frost/Nixon

No idea how Facebook works on here, but if anyone not Chicago wants a taste of local, or just to compare/contrast, here's something my favorite burger/dog stand just posted in advance of closing forever:

WMC, i hope you get on the writing team here

I'd love that, I need something to do instead of having to work for a living.

Bad Sisters feels like it would have been sharper at 30 minutes than 50+.

Was about to say. It feels like watching the same episode over and over again. JP is an asshole, needlessly sadistic and cruel to someone, so that someone wants JP dead. The sisters try and fail. Meanwhile, in the present day, the two brothers agonize over the (suspicious) death of JP. Repeat. I like all the actors, but the only development week by week is JP, who starts out the show dead and then proceeds to show over and over again, in different ways, why he's worthy of death. So ... who cares who kills him, or even if he *is* killed? It feels weirdly masochistic. I wouldn't put it past the show to reveal at the end that it's some paperboy we've never met that did him in, because at this point, why not?

For anyone in the UK, The Bear is now available on Disney+

That sounds like a ~recipe~ for confusion!

better than on Cinemax Late Night

I wouldn't put it past the show to reveal at the end that it's some paperboy

My assumption is that it's all a red herring and his death will be completely natural.

Bad Sisters speculation after three episodes:
They’ll point you toward the massage therapist being the killer and her sisters think they’re covering for her but it turns out it was an accident - he was a teetotaler because he had a drinking problem in the past, got drunk because of something and died.

Lmao no

it’s quite clearly Grace.
