Any scene footage outside the studio, or is it all from his desk perspective?  I was hesitant to watch it because the trailer reminded me of 'Phonebooth', and I didn't want to re-live that misery

There's someone behind everything. You just have to dig.
3 Body Problem premieres on Netflix March 21st, 2024.

From multiple Emmy Award-winning creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss (Game of Thrones), and Emmy-nominated Alexander Woo (The Terror: Infamy, True Blood) comes 3 Body Problem, a thrilling story that redefines sci-fi drama with its layered mysteries and genre-bending high stakes. Based on the acclaimed, international bestselling book trilogy, The Three-Body Problem.

A young woman’s fateful decision in 1960s China reverberates across space and time to a group of brilliant scientists in the present day. As the laws of nature unravel before their eyes five former colleagues reunite to confront the greatest threat in humanity’s history.

“The old fat guy not writing” wasn’t the reason Dumb & Dumber’s legacy is being the masterminds behind the worst final season and series finale in TV history.

HBO told them they could have as many seasons as they wanted in order to properly wrap up the show.  However, they wanted to wrap it up ASAP so they could go do Star Wars so they combined at least 3 seasons worth of material into 6 episodes.  HBO also suggested they bring in help to write the show or possibly even hand the show off to someone else (you know, someone who actually gave a damn), but their ego wouldn’t allow that. THEY were going to be the ones to wrap up “their” show, even if they did a shit job.

Then, in an extremely fitting twist of irony, they were fired from Star Wars because of how they ruined GoT.

Been watching Fauda and just finished the series. Good show about the issues of Hamas.

Watched No Limit on a flight home. Found it entertaining and interesting when you do the research on the actual events and what some people said the problems could have been.

If you watch it with headphones, when baby takes one out the sound drops accordingly.

2/3 through the new "Ripley" series; we're really enjoying it. It's much darker that the Matt Damon movie, and the b/w filming gives it a much darker vibe.

Update- finished the series. Definitely recommended.

Based on the trailer. I thought it was going to be a heart warming road trip comedy.
Not in the least.
It was a very good but dead serious examination of grief and self deception.
Channing Tatum was very good.

The cinematography is absolutely stunning.

That’s actually a great review bc I was in the latter camp of not enjoying the flick, but lots of people like it.

It’s not on Netflix, but I highly recommend Drive to anyone who hasn’t seen it.

Watched Molly's Game last night.  Interesting story of an almost Olympic skiing champion becoming a high stakes poker card game broker; based on a true story of Molly Bloom.  End was disappointing because it said nothing of what happened to her after her trial in 2014.

Started "Bodies" last night, about halfway through it.  Crime/Sci FI British story of the same murdered body found in 1890, 1941 and 2023.  Semi-interesting.

I am as pleased as I am shocked to be reporting that the Amazon series Fallout (based on the video game franchise) is not only a very good show, but also woke-free.

TBH, I can’t recall EVER being more pleasantly surprised by a TV series in my life.  To have a show based on a video game franchise be very good is hard enough, but for an Amazon show to be relatively woke-free is incredible.

Highly recommended.

As shocking as the overall quality of the show was, one thing that was extremely expected was Walton Goggins stealing every scene he was in and playing the most interesting character.

Yeah the second part is a snooze fest for pretty much the entire first half of the movie. The extremely overly excessive use of slowmo scenes effectively kills an already slow movie.

Don't see it mentioned before but so far (4 episodes in) "Obliterated" is awesome!

I started watching it and was thinking what cheap low budget crap is this (complete with discount Brad Pitt).  It's a parody and kind of a cross between The Hangover and Team America.
Probably shows my dumb sense of humor but it has plenty of laughs.  Very non-PC - it's like it was made in the 80's.  Plenty of gunfire and boobs if you're into that sort of thing.

But I would have fallen asleep watching Heat. I will give it another try because I liked the 1st one. It seemed like basically a remake of the Magnificent 7 in space.

I binged a lot of Black Sails this weekend because I felt like shit. I found the first couple seasons tolerable with liberal use of fast forward. The story lines involving the town soap opera just didn't appeal.

The show certainly wasn't shy about killing off main characters.

It almost lost me in the first couple episodes. For a title of Black Sails, there wasn't much water after the opening. Things I learned from the series:

I dont think I've ever been as disappointed in a Snyder movie as Rebel Moon.  Part II was horribly bad and predictable.  Script is awful.  yes, I watching them b/c like the underlying story.  But man...its a struggle.

Not sure if its been mentioned in this thread but also watched Einsatzgruppen: The Nazi Death Squads.  Best documentary I've seen on the Death Squads to date.  Brutal.  Unflinching.   And a warning to all about why we have a 2nd Amendment.
