The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
I don't get it...
I'd heard so much about this show that I finally sat down and watched it. It was long and pretty slow. If this is considered a horror show, I must have missed the horror. I wasn't expecting a gory horror show but more of something that scares you. I didn't get any of that either. I feel like this could have been 5 or 6 episodes and easily told the same story. I want to be creeped out, or have a few jump moments but Haunting Of Hill House had none of that. I would love to have someone explain to me how this was so great and how it was, specifically, great horror. Next time I'll have less expectation.
Millennium: The Mikado (1998)
mind-blowing at the time
I haven't seen this episode in 20 years at least, but I remember it vividly. At the time (1998) the internet was in existence but it wasn't EVERYWHERE like it is now and the idea of a killer utilizing a countdown of sorts to execute someone was amazing. I remember thinking "is this even possible, how does someone add a counter to a webpage???" It prompted me to research HTML and try to understand it. I don't remember how it ended or what our hero Frank Black did or didn't do, I just remember how unbelievable it was that the internet, which up to that point I'd only used for ESPN, could be used like this. Why doesn't any streaming service put this show on? Every streaming service is littered with junk!
Obsession (2023)
Not as bad as you're led to believe
I actually enjoyed this a bit. It isn't the best thing I've ever seen but the daughter in law is incredibly sexy and I'm sure some of you have had a person you REALLY liked. It was a relatable topic except for the taboo part about the father in law getting it on with his future daughter in law. The acting was good, the characters seemed to really obsess over each other. The son Jay seemed like a wuss who had no idea what was happening. Most ever guy would love to have a little friends with benefits with someone like Anna, but you just can't let it be your future daughter in law. If you can avoid that part, this is a pretty good life goal.
1000-lb Sisters (2020)
Slobs unite
Who the hall watches this? I watched about 10 minutes and it was just two inbred slobs whining about their lives. One of them if so fat that she can barely talk because her face weighs 200 pounds. The other sister, the "skinny" one apparently is easier to understand but she sounds like she's the product of 1,000 of inbreeding with a family tree with no branches. They bring in a few creeps who are most likely direct relatives to be their boyfriends or something. I think the super fat one is trying to get weight loss surgery and while weighing over a quarter-ton she is bragging about her svelteness. It's all very disorienting.
Yellowstone: Watch 'Em Ride Away (2022)
Beth is the worst since Gemma on SOA
If you're out of ideas just end the show. If my broad wasn't watching I would fast forward every time Beth is on screen. It's like she's got blackmail on the writers and she is making them include her everywhere. A 15 minute long ridiculous fight? My braid loves the show and even she said "this is just stupid".
They brought back the hippy girl for some reason. She's living at the ranch and Beth thinks she's sleeping with dad. If she is, who cares but the writers somehow think the patriarch wouldn't tell his dumb bossy irritating daughter to shut her trap especially since everyone knows she spent much of her life sleeping with total zeros. Just awful.
The Murder of Nicole Brown Simpson (2019)
Wow is this garbage or what?
A worldwide gross of $19,000! There are taco trucks that gross more in a week than this made WORLDWIDE. What happened to Mena Survari. She's not the greatest actress but there should always been a place to act for a film that needs a hot blonde who can be sassy or trashy. This seems like whoever funded this might have a slam dunk class action lawsuit.
Keep Breathing (2022)
Heinous
First of all, this was just plain bad. The writing was bad, dialogue was bad, acting was worse than bad, the only thing that was good was the scenery. I think maybe the writers/director decided "let's find a really hot actress, put her in a tank top and give her a lousy script and all she can say is F you, get the F out of here" or other variations of that.
It's really hard to find ANYTHING good about this. I knew it was awful after the first few minutes but I made my wife continue watching it, since she picked it. Am I a masochist? Yes I am. It's hard to believe that garbage like this actually gets made. Are there no decent writers with ideas who can put together a great script and give to some competent actors to make a great show? Is this where my Netflix subscription money goes?
Want to see a story about one guy against nature, watch Cast Away, do NOT watch this junk.
You've been warned.
Outer Banks (2020)
As lousy as it gets, yet addictive
Wow it's hard to adequately summarize OBX. The writing is awful, the characters are terrible, the acting is mediocre at best and the plot lines are ridiculous. However I keep watching. Maybe hoping to see John B get hit by a bus or to see Pope finally tell that girl who's teasing him to hit the bricks. Whatever it is, this show is really bad but like Manos, The Hands Of Death, it's so bad it's actually watchable.
The Me You Can't See (2021)
the rich and privileged whining about their lot in life
Yeesh, nobody and I mean NOBODY wants to listen to people with 9 and 10-figure wealth whining. Yes mental health and the treatment is important but these two don't need to be the ones discussing it. At least Oprah worked for her success (even though she STILL complains about her life). Harry was given his success and he still can't cope. Also, it is peculiar that the rating is 5.9 yet about 95% of the reviews are 9 and 10.
The Simpsons: Homer Badman (1994)
Present day media were paying attention back in 94
This episode shows the roadmap of a young kid watching tv and seeing how the "media" cover stories. They took proper notes and it never dawned on them that this was a satire on the media. Later in life they became Acosta, stelter, Scarborough, maddow and more!
Kalifat (2020)
Excellent series
This felt like a very realistic depiction of Islamic terrorism as told from the viewpoint of a terrorist, someone trying to escape the terrorist lifestyle and the boneheads who think joining a sharia lifestyle will be super cool because they can kick back and text their friends and go shopping. Shot in a sort of grainy style giving it the dingy feel of being involved with this life, plus the top notch acting from the main characters to the fringe terrorists with 3 lines of dialogue gives it a real feeling absent in some other shows. simply one of the best shows I've seen in a long time
It Chapter Two (2019)
Flat Out Horrible...
I haven't walked out of a movie since Lawnmower Man, and admittedly I didn't leave early but only because I really wanted to see it and my wife didn't really but came anyway. What a mess, an absolute mess. SPOILER ALERT: this thing stinks to high heaven. i don't even understand the point. it was SUPER long, SUPER slow, disjointed and then in the end, it ends in a way that they should have done it in the first 10 minutes. It is movies like that that usually kill careers, though I figure Chastain will be fine (jessica, you're better than this). Maybe Bill Hader has a new kitchen he needed to pay for, I don't know. I can't imagine what the script looked like. It must have been 700 pages with a lot of "suspenseful music, something jumps out and tries to scare you, then a bunch of noise, then yelling, then F&*K you". If you go see this, that's your problem.
Get a Life: The Counterfeit Watch Story (1991)
I'm like a piece of cheese...
Waiting in the trap for misseur mouse to come and partake of my rich, smokey flavor. I'm a huge Get A Life fan and this might be the best episode there is (though you could argue about 15 others and have a valid point). Our Little Chrissy buys a Mr. Underwater Watch from Vic, the local electronics dealer who doesn't take customer service very seriously.
Upon entering his shower, with Mom and Dad in attendance, Chrissy's watch dissolves like a sliver of soap. To show his displeasure, Chrissy stages a Gandhi-like protest in the store, leading to his arrest by the local goon squad. The detectives utilize Chrissy as bait to try to infiltrate the counterfeit watch ring and lure Tommy "the big potato" out into the open.
Tomfoolery ensues as Chrissy shows his ability to gain the confidence of the criminals and detectives alike. In the end, will Chrissy emerge victorious or will he be out the big money he paid for the watch? You watch!!
Iga ninpôchô (1982)
A classic tale of good vs. evil.
This movie had it all. Big fat sluts with floppy jugs who seduce blind ninjas. It had a big fire and some guy with a lampshade on his head who shot acid from a garden hose poorly placed behind his head. It had ninjas being killed in trees and falling, only to reveal the big string holding them up. All in all, this movie should appeal to the crowd hoping to score with their japanese girlfriend.
