I did a double-take like "Am I in the TV thread?" @Chachie is that the one with Rashida Jones? I actually watched an episode of that show randomly a few years ago and LOL'd a few times. No idea why I didn't start watching it. I first saw Cannavale as the bad guy on Boardwalk Empire, he was great. He was good in Nurse Jackie with Edie Falco, too. I think it's his face, but he's always casted to be a bad guy or an asshole . He was the bad guy in the Ant Man movies too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her original partner Geils is gone now but Bobby Cannivale came on to play their son (who somehow grew to be older than Angie between seasons 3 and 4) and it's good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Not sure what to do with this one. I read the 3 books that it is based on or, rather, I read the first 2, which were great. The 3rd book was the slowest, most boring **** ever and and put it down about 1/2 of the way through because it wasn't going anywhere. The books are also divided between pre-apocalypse and post-apocalypse and the trailer looks like it is only going to pre-apocalypse, which, while a decent story, misses the point of the narrative (and the monsters). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it together. This is a thread about TV shows to watch, not about books to read. You'll find the book suggestion thread buried in the abyss. Where it belongs. Don't need no damn reading round these parts. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Also, it has Zack from Saved by the Bell. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Everything about this show is so confusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm 6 episodes into Escape at Dannemora and this show is fantastic. The acting in it is unreal and the camera work is just as good. I will be finishing the last episode tonight probably. I highly recommend this show to anyone who has Showtime. Del Toro is incredible in it, as are the 2 other main actors (and everyone else pretty much). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even know who that was so I had to IMDB who it was, and yes, the acting job she does with Tilly is unreal. Same with the guy who plays her husband Lyle. I didn't even know who the actor was until I just saw him on IMDB and holy **** that guy has been in a ton of stuff. He looks so different in this show. He is up there as one of the best actors on the show too. I also don't know how this story ends in real life so after I finish it I want to see what everyone looked like in real life, if they don't show it at the end of the show. Don't let me know either way though lol. Edited January 11, 2019 by purbeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it's been mentioned in this thread at all since I posted the trailer months ago LOL. Ben Stiller may have found a second home behind the camera.

purbeast Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yeah when I saw that Ben Stiller directed it I did a double take. I was like WTF? But then I quickly believed in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Reminder than S2 of The Punisher drops next Friday (1/18). Looks like Jigsaw (he won't be called that still 🙄) is the big baddie. Might be the last we see of The Punisher for a few years. 😡 Edited January 11, 2019 by The Evil Genius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Maybe it's just the fact that the cancellations thoroughly pissed me off, maybe not. I'm kinda tired. It took me forever to finish DD, part because I was caring for my dad at the time, part because news of the cancellations happened as I was still watching, and it just soured me a great deal. Not sure I'm gonna be able to get up for Punisher Edited January 12, 2019 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 4 standup comedians and for me, they put them in descending order, each set is about 30 minutes. Neal Brennan - great performance, insightful, smart, funny Chris D'Elia - kinda dumb but not too bad. I think the best thing about Chris D'Elia is the eyebrow raise Nicole Byer - just talks about how fat she is for about 20 minutes Nick Swardson - couldn't get past the first three minutes, might be the worst I've seen in a long time Neal Brennan is great. D'Elia was a notch below. Byer: yep, "I'm a fat girl" Swardson: didn't think it was too bad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purbeast Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Escape at Dannemora - 10/10 - such a fantastic show I highly recommend it. I'm actually watching a show on demand right now that was on Oxygen called "Dannemora Prison Break" and it is incredible how accurate the show is, down to how the characters look and talk, down to the clothing they were wearing at specific parts. It's pretty damn awesome, although there are some things that they changed completely, like the names of the children, and some other stuff. There were 2 things that I wouldn't say I didn't like about the show, but non-positives I would say... 1. At the end of episode 3 or 4, Del Toro tells Tilly the plan and at the very end he says "DONT TELL ANYOOOOOOOOOONNNNEEEE" in this very weird voice. It just felt so odd and out of place, and I was like WTF? and so was Tilly and then the episode ends. 2. The 6th episode that is just a back story I could have done without. I didn't really care about all of that. And at the end of episode 5 where he escaped, I just wanted to see what happened next but instead we get this filler episode that is all back story. The back story was very interesting though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) True Detective season 3 is pretty good so far. They had the first two episodes Sunday night, but just got around to watching them tonight. Edited January 15, 2019 by visionary 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
