    Is Bone Tomahawk any good?

    It's free on Amazon Prime, Robert. I'm not a huge fan of the film, but I think it's worth watching absolutely. It's a well-made film for a first time director and has a very "authentic old west" feel to it. And, Richard Jenkins is worth the watch alone, IMO. If you're a fan of westerns or...

    Jessica Jones (Netflix)

    I'm 10 episodes in. I'll finish today or tomorrow. This show is spectacular stuff. Way better than Daredevil in nearly every aspect. Kilgrave is the nastiest villain in the MCU, bar none. The one flaw I would call out is that it seems to not quite have enough material for 13 episodes...

    Walking Dead Season 6

    Of course it was lame and disrespectful of the audience. This is TWD, right? BTW...I now think Glenn is likely UN-killable, so I'm going to call it now:

    Fargo - Season 2 (FX)

    This was great stuff! The story is exceptional as is the cast, but MAN they are nailing the feel and style of '70's filmmaking. I'm loving it.

    Paramount+ Star Trek: Discovery - Official Thread

    Clearly fan exploitation...but, I'm afraid this won't be the last we'll see of this strategy. The age of streaming services has arrived.

    Walking Dead Season 6

    I was thinking JSS meant "just survive stupid" the whole time. I guess their mantra was better... :P Best episode of the series? Yeah, I think it is. Great action, SUPER jump surprise with that machete attack...LOVE the crazy ass Wolves. Man, they are nuts. Super Carol action, great work...

    Fargo - Season 2 (FX)

    This is a beautiful show that takes its time and makes it well worth it. That UFO scene was utterly bizarre, but so perfect to precede the car hit! I jumped! What an amazing cast here. Can't wait to see how much more twisted the story gets.

    Walking Dead Season 6

    Burning them should at least have been addressed re: yeah, that will attract too much attention. But, I also think they could have sent out some scouts west to see if they were sending the horde toward anyone living. I'm guessing the Wolves live there! The horn isn't so much a fuck you to...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    I don't know what was more lame: having the horde of undead following Daniel (what...did he release them from the arena, magically untouched and in no danger? is he the pied piper of the undead...wtf?), or the tortured soldier showing up in the parking garage to exact his revenge! Yeah...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    And, what's it going to be a season from now? Are they still going to be waiting for the shit to hit the fan? If they are, I predict the show will fail. If they aren't....well, you're back to early TWD again. I think a show about a different group, with different origins/motives, in a...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    I just saw a Danish film called "What We Become" - a pretty basic zombie apocalypse movie from a first-time director that shifts the attention to the families affected as the outbreak happens, uses their POV, and shows how they are changed by it. In 90 minutes or so, it more effectively...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    The strategy in L.A. would HAVE to be different. Much more spread out and around 4x the population of Atlanta. Which is why I just don't think apocalypse in L.A. would look so quiet and peaceful. Even if you only had 2+ million people turn to zombies in the first week (less than 10%), that...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    Considering the likelihood that most viewers of Fear are viewers of TWD, it's hard to ask us to empathize with characters against the 'evil military' who are culling the heard by removing and, presumably, killing the weak. After all, we know what's coming and there is no room for the weak...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    That sound effect annoyed me too, Mark. This episode shows promise for the season. I still despise most of the characters...only really liking Madison, and the new addition of Daniel Salazar. But, I sort of get the spread of different personalities so that we can see the different reactions...

    Fear the Walking Dead

    No. But, it IS the same restaurant from HEAT (not the DeNiro/Pacino scene...that's Kate Mantilini's in BH) - formerly Johnie's Broiler, now a Bob's Big Boy Broiler. Pulp Fiction was shot at the Hawthorne Grill...which is now gone.

    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    Gotta start with the Denon in the rack, absolutely. I'm going to go with Paradigm Prestige speakers for my LCR, and I LOVE the sound of Noble Fidelity speakers all around me to envelop me in that ATMOS sound! Dual PSA S3600I subs underline the sound to a crisp and perfect finish. And, I'll...

    True Detective: Season Two

    You may be right! But instead of non-sensical, philosophical mumbo-jumbo, they went with non-sensical plot thicker than the thickest L.A. Noir. And, Noir stories don't have serial killers - they have evil conspiracies that typically win by crushing the opposition. But, that was a choice they...

    True Detective: Season Two

    I just find the criticisms of this season hilarious since they are pretty much the same weaknesses the first season had...only the first season was made out to be the second coming of great TV. I find it all very strange. That said, yes, the finale was WAYYYYY too slow and should not have...

    The Leftovers

    Interesting. A town with a secret that wasn't hit by the "rapture"? I don't know how you top the first season, so I'm glad they're not trying. Going back to the Lindeloff "secret box"/conspiracy thriller wheelhouse could be a good idea. I'll certainly be watching.

    True Detective: Season Two

    That was a great episode, bringing a lot of chickens home to roost. I've been down on the Frank storyline all season, but he had some great moments here. I have to admit I have no idea what his plan is...I was thinking he wants to hit up Osip's money exchange, but won't Osip be looking for...

    True Detective: Season Two

    Funny stuff! I just think someone needs to take a second look at Season 1 and give it the same treatment. It's all there, folks. This should truly be no surprise.

    True Detective: Season Two

    I never thought Season 1 was the amaze-balls insta-classic everyone thought it was. It benefited from having two very good actors, a seriously hot nude scene, and a bizarre bunch of (plagiarized) philosophical ramblings. Speaking of which...would those Lincoln commercials even exist without...

    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver (Redux)

    Let's see...dual PSA XS15se's, 3 Martin Logan SLM XL's for the LCR, and 8 Noble Fidelity surrounds all across the ceiling and walls. We'll put the Gunman in the Oppo and light up the Aquos 4k. That should compliment the NR1030 perfectly... Hey, that's my system! What are we waiting for??!! :D

    Game of Thrones Season 5 News and Discussion

    And, you could certainly make that argument! But, I don't think you can say Jon Snow isn't "set up" as a major player. All the signs are there. Although, I would make the argument that everyone who has died in ASoIaF/GoT has been telegraphed from the start or at least very early on. The...

    Game of Thrones Season 5 News and Discussion

    Really? I don't know how much more the show could telegraph it short of him wearing a neon sign saying "I am one of the end story heroes!" He's introduced as a bastard who gets respect from his father and respect/love from his siblings. He's Arya's closest sibling and gives her Needle and...

    Game of Thrones Season 5 News and Discussion

    Theon/Reek and Sansa are still alive. They land in the snow. The only question is, where are they headed? I'm thinking north, to the Wall. They grew up in Winterfell. They know how thick the snow banks are and this is likely not the first time they've made such a jump. There doesn't need...

    Maybe "Jon Snow" IS dead. Maybe Jon Targaryen is coming next season. Or just Azor Ahai.

    True...unless the leader of that particular tribe is someone she knows... Even if not, Drogon is just up the hill to remind them who she is. Still, she needs cavalry, right? The (increasingly unimpressive) Unsullied are her shock troops, and now she'll get her cavalry. I don't think Jon...

    Daredevil (Netflix) - April 10, 2015

    True, but we still have a long way to go and we don't know how many episodes they'll make even though their order may stand at 10 or 12 for now. Also...we saw Stick this season for how long? Not long, for sure. We could maybe see Elektra for as long next season. Or, she could be a...
