Whatcha watching?

Mission Impossible was booooring. Three hours of scenes with barely a cohesive narrative. The stars are on their worldwide promotional tour and now seeing them makes me think “but they didn’t finish the movie. They just filmed the scenes and forgot to edit in a story. They’re not done yet”. This move sucked.

Just watched the season 2 finale of The Last of Us.

Season one was one of the better series in the zombie apocalypse genre. Season 2 was a dumpster fire. :vomit:

We totally loved The Pitt series. My son is too young to have seen ER, so we've been watching season 1 to see baby Noah Wiley as a third year med student. I'm surprised how well that show has held up.

Agreed on ER. I'll stop now and then to watch an episode. I don't regret it when I do.

From what I've read, those movies are at this point being made for Chinese audiences who just want to see Tom jump off of buildings. Not surprised this one was plotless.

I knew that, but didn't consider that while watching it. It makes perfect sense. The whole movie is things happening with voiceover and quick flashbacks. They made everything he's ever done for the last 8 movies all about the bad guy for this one. With the right voiceover, the "story" could be about anything.
 
The Reverant for the first time last night (free on Youtube). Wow! Just, wow!
Did you mean "The Revenant" with Leonardo DiCaprio? Yes, an excellent movie, albeit brutal.

Our son and I saw "Thunderbolts" yesterday. It was not what I expected, but in a good way. It's a very good movie, with a mix of humor, action, and emotion.

Thunderbolts has been getting pretty positive reviews. I still want to see it and Sinners, but I can't be arsed to go to a theater.

This is a weird, uncomfortable, hilarious movie.

Couples Therapy is back on Paramount/Showtime. Great show, and it makes me feel grateful that my marriage is mostly drama-free.
Checked trailer. That has all the markings of something I'd run through, and I happen to have Paramount+ for a little bit, so, thank you probably.

Finished Dexter: Original Sin. Glad there is another season coming but I will say this: I am not an emergency responder but definitely don't give someone mouth-to-mouth underwater. They show it twice and even make a point to have dialogue where Dexter makes it seem like that is the correct thing to do. It is not. The rest was good. Great casting.
