Habebe Member	Tue Jun 01 20:36:53 Yeah another one of these threads.Im about 4-5 beers deep with a mama cozzi cooking (Best store pizza ever) About to watch "the rain" , irs a Danish show on Netflix I'm up to episode 5. Its surprisingly good considering the premise is corny. Basically the rain causes you to have seizures and die because of some disease in it Its starts off with 2 kids of a dad who working to cure the disease, you find out more and more about his work as thw show goes on. So he sticks his kids in a bunker and they live there for a few years until they realize he isnt coming back....they meet up.with a wanderinf group of people scavenging for food, yadda yadda yadda. I definitley recommend it, better than it sounds.Im also glad. Othwr countries are finally making decent shows.
nhill Member	Tue Jun 01 21:08:06 I watched the new Might Ducks show with my 7 year old son tonight. Was pretty cheesy like the original but full of quirky underdog kids you want to cheer for anyways. Good memories. Wouldn't recommend watching it as an adult unless you want nostalgia but it is a great option if you have younger kids.
nhill Member	Tue Jun 01 21:08:15 Mighty Ducks, that is.
Rugian Member	Tue Jun 01 21:10:13 I watched Come and See (80s action movie) over the weekend. Made me feel pumped up and it was surprisingly uplifting. Highly recommend.
nhill Member	Tue Jun 01 21:10:20 The Rain sounds like yet another post-apocalyptic show. Interesting premise. My wife loves the genre so we'll probably give it a try sometime. She's not as much of a fan of subtitled shows but it's not a deal breaker either. Do they dub it or is it only in Danish?
nhill Member	Tue Jun 01 21:12:43 Predator is a my fav badass 80s movie. Never heard of Come and See, but it looks like a classic & therefore my interest is piqued.
Rugian Member	Tue Jun 01 21:16:53 Hahaha Predator is a top-tier film, it's quite simply straight-up quality. Any man who has never seen it absolutely needs to. If you're looking more for a classic cheesy action movie, Commando is the absolute gold stand. Ahnold straight up genocides fools like it's nothing in that one.
nhill Member	Tue Jun 01 21:41:52 Crazy that Predator was universally panned by cRiTiCs. Goes to show the media's been full of shit since the beginning of time. Want to watch Commando now.
Habebe Member	Tue Jun 01 21:41:55 Nhill, Its dubbed well into English. It is a little PA.Its not real bad for kids, the occasional boob or panty, ort of violent but not gruesome or anything, the worst Ive seen so far is a mild stabbing.But its rated MA. I did realize the lips were a off when they talk early, but it plays well, better than I expected initially.
nhill Member	Tue Jun 01 21:43:44 Oh okay, I usually have a hard time with dubs breaking the immersion. But worth a shot. Kids will not be watching with us :)
Habebe Member	Tue Jun 01 21:48:01 I also want to download return of cyborg cop, its meant to be horrible. Mare of East town looks worth checking out.On HBO.
Habebe Member	Tue Jun 01 21:50:57 Yeah, I dont mind dubs for some movies (shoplifters was good) but Netflix is good at dubbing shows so far, I dont watch entire tv shows that need translated captions.
nhill Member	Tue Jun 01 21:52:36 I'm sure it's a matter of taste, my wife's the same way. I'm fascinated with language so captions from a foreign language don't really bother me and to me it adds a new dimension to watching shows.
Habebe Member	Tue Jun 01 22:05:28 I dont mind captions* from movies. Yeah, for me its.just too much to get into an entire series, but some movies are great captioned.
State Department Member	Wed Jun 02 05:23:00 I will never be able to shoulder carry an entire 12'x1' tree down a mountainside all the way back to my house for chopping. Feelsbadman.
Habebe Member	Wed Jun 02 17:13:52 New episode day on Netflix. Alone has a new season and Kims convienence. Love Kims.conveinience, a korean family convenient store in Canada, really good cast.
Habebe Member	Mon Jun 07 00:24:29 Mare of Easton on HBO. Great show, I had a particular fondness at first because it reminded me of home (south east PA) but it turned out to be really good too. Coo shoe starring kate Winslet as Mare, local cop of a PA town called easttown.But you know HBO, great show quality.Dont want to give much away, but small town murdsr investigation. I binged watched it the last two days, been raining all day anyway. I got 2 more episodes
CrownRoyal Member	Wed Jun 09 15:16:44 Mare of Eastown is good TV, a bit too much grief at times, but I think I will remember this show, most of mediocre ones I forget almost immediately
Habebe Member	Thu Jun 10 05:14:59 Fucking HBO, put in a copyright claim over Mare of Eastown. Weve been getting rain for like a.week straight (Satellite internet) so I went to TPB and got it so I didnt have interuptions, my wifi has been suspended for like 3 days apparently in january they passed some new law. Shoulda used the VPN. Also, as long as you pay for it somehow, I thought you could use it under the fair use doctrine? Like backing shit up. Can we use blockchain to.decentrialize the internet?
Nekran Member	Thu Jun 10 06:55:01 The whole point of the internet is that it is decentralized.
nhill Member	Thu Jun 10 07:56:16 Habebe If you want a faster and more secure site I can extend an invite to a private torrent site. Should still use VPN, of course, but it’s not monitored like TPB.
Habebe Member	Sun Jun 13 09:34:18 Nhill, Thats would be cool. I rarely DL anymore with Netflix and Disney. So long story short I had to switch to Viasat. They kept telling me that I had to fill out a request to reinstate, but when ever I clicked the link it just refreshed the same page regardless of device. They also said then when I kept.calling that it went through, someone will call me in 24-48 hours....5 days later I exolained no one called me, they just talked in loops, and charged me extra theough auto pay for a month plus, that I will not be able to use, refused to let me speak to a supervisor. So I just said, fuck it, Viasat will be here tommorow morning. And to get my moneys worth, Ill buy my.brother in law a case.of beer and a pack of smokes. When he gets drunk his favorite thing to do is call up companies who have wronged him or anyome and bitch and holler for literally HOURS, I probably wont get a refund, but they will have to pay people to keep answering his calls. Honestly the worst customer service ive ever dealt with.The freindly ones seem to just make shit up tp get you off the phone.The other half are openly rude and argumentative while talking im circles.
Habebe Member	Sat Jun 26 21:52:47 Ungodly- A Netflix original series (1 season, 7 episodes, more like a mini series with defined ending) If you enjoy western Id highly recommend it. It was made in 2017.Basic western plot, some bad dude is out to get a "good guy" and goes all over yo find him.Many gun fights and horses etc. They make the bad guy pretty likeable through out the show, which I enjoyed.Greay actor too, forget his name.
habebe Member	Mon Jun 28 12:27:03 Its still thunderstorms, so more Netflix today. Finally got around to watching Kingdom (In English dub) it picks up a lot by episode 5/6 ( where Im at now) 16th century Korea, with vampire zombies. Well, night time zombies at least.
habebe Member	Mon Jun 28 12:34:51 Its a cool change on post apocalyptic zombies as standard fare. Plus it has a power dynamic storyline (fight for the throne) moxed in in Im guessing 16th century, since some people have flintlocks.
habebe Member	Mon Jun 28 16:06:24 Kingdom is really good.The power.dynamic part of the story really picks up season 2. So, again, really cool mix of genres. Very much so a fast paced zombie-disease thriller mixed with east Asian (Korean) wordplay/martial Arts journey. The power dynamic adds to well to the story, but a Game Of Thrones it is not.But then it wasn't meant to be its a kungfu zombie thriller set in 16th century Korea which is great on its own right.
habebe Member	Mon Jun 28 16:07:18 Swordplay, not wordplay*
nhill Member	Mon Jun 28 16:35:38 Oh-- habebe. Sorry I forgot about this thread after vacation. PM me an email and I'll send you an invite to a super fast tracker. FYI you'll need to maintain a decent download/upload ratio to avoid getting banned. It's a community, but provides the fastest torrents on the net, and it's not low hanging fruit like TPB so ISPs don't monitor it.
Habebe Member	Mon Jun 28 17:49:29 I private messaged you.
nhill Member	Mon Jun 28 18:03:28 I private messaged you back.
nhill Member	Mon Jun 28 18:03:43 Don't let the teacher catch us.
CrownRoyal Member	Mon Jun 28 18:40:31 Kingdom is fun. You know what show I finally watched? Battlestar Galactica. Magnificent and that’s what I thought before the season 4, which was insane and insanely good. No doubt, one of the best tv series of all time, best sci fi tv ever maybe? I also watched Black sails, which was way better than I thought it would be, I think someone here was a fun, renzo iirc.
nhill Member	Mon Jun 28 18:50:53 Battlestar Galactica & Black Sails were both good TV. Endorsed. Along the lines of Black Sails, Taboo (Tom Hardy) was also good. Although I wish they'd make a damn S2 already.
Habebe Member	Mon Jun 28 20:24:39 Never really got into battlestar, I know it has a largw cult following. Black sails, I think I seen likenthe first episode, or part of it, I thought it got cancelled pretty early so I didnt follow up.
Habebe Member	Mon Jun 28 20:35:28 In the last 2 years I really got into western, and the genre has really made a come back. The hatefull 8- Awesome. Its what you would expect from a Tarintino western that happens to be a "bottle episode". West world-Sci fi western, the first season IMHO was just amazing, the following seasons were good as well. Godless as I said earlier In this thread, great single season show with defined ending. Deadwood- Great interesting but low thrill western series on HBO.Think like Dr. Quinn medicine woman if it was made MA by HBO 10 years ago. Uhm, IDK Ive had a few bingewatch western days in thenlast few years. Many 90s films Once upon a time in Mexico Is the only one that sticks out.
TheChildren Member	Sun Jul 18 11:44:02 So lets talk about all fantasy movies/ series. u know. LOTR shit, elves shit. The good shit. Not the shitty fantasy series with shitty cgi. And dont dune this dune that. dune trailer sucked ass. i dont wanna hear about spices and shit. im talkin about shit like dark crystal. quests. and shit.
Habebe Member	Sun Jul 18 14:12:32 So the fear streetbgot more woke, the 3rd one wasn't as good as the first.2. It wasn't terrible.
Habebe Member	Wed Jul 28 03:34:27 Apparently their is a Kingdom movie, something of the North.... Other than that... New Ghostbusters is coming out Thanksgiving, this one I have high hopes for, it could suck, but they already did that, lets hope theyve learned from that. Im sensing a TMNT revival in popularity, Seth Rogen is doing something (animated?) , a sweet retro TMNT beatem up is coming out and it's just been just enough time, we forget how horriblenthe 3rd movie was and remember the franchise more fondly now that enough time has past. Plus Turtles have some seriously great characters to delve into.
CrownRoyal Member	Wed Jul 28 13:40:58 Kingdom: Ashin of the North, watched it last night on Netflix, it is a great movie addition to the series
TheChildren Member	Wed Jul 28 13:43:10 but kingdom sucks.
CrownRoyal Member	Wed Jul 28 14:00:51 Koreans humiliate Chinese in that one, don’t watch it, TC
Habebe Member	Wed Jul 28 14:08:56 Yes well, we still dont have a great Romance of the 3 kingdoms series...and its a shame, great potential.
Habebe Member	Sun Aug 01 20:51:00 Watching some old Robocop tv series, its what you woild expect it to be. The confusing part is there are 5 movies (I think) Robocop 1,2,3 pretty clear. I never remembered 4 something in LA. Then there is a 1994 series Robocop. A 2001 series Robocop (both only one season) Robocop 2014 which is a re imagining of the original 88 movie (87?) The original 2 movies were great. The 3rd IIRC I didnt like even as a kid. I think they are making a new movie again or atleast talking about it, the timeline is really not done well.
Habebe Member	Tue Aug 03 03:23:16 Masters od the Universe-Ny Kevin Smith. Really I didnt think it was as bad as people are claiming.I didn't think it was all that great, but to be fair I wasn't a super He-man fan growing up, other than for xmas one year getting the most bad ass sword ever that made a lightning sound, flashed lighting and said "By the power of grayskull, I have the POWER" Anyway, they did turn like 1/4 of the cast black for some reason, just bringing back regular characters as black versions of themselves, because I guess its racist to have too many whites? They also mainly focus on a pair of lesbian warriors since He-man/prince Adam is presumed dead. Skeleton was done pretty well, and without giving spoilers has a cool scene you would not have seen in the old cartoons. The wokeness does come off as forced in there by the studio "Can we make this blacker? How about some strong gay women warriors?" But I mean, for what it is its not a terrible show. Its not the fact that there is women or blacks in it that annoys people, he'll blacks are heavily represented in film. Its when they take an organic idea or an old idea come up with a story and then find a way to cram in some diversity agenda. Starship troopers is one I was just watching a review on, female soldiers kicking ass (young denise Richards) and that is a great movie , off the top of my head. How about alien? The boys? Kill Bill? Resident evil, terminator etc. ------ Update on Amazon's LOTR tv series. 9/2/2022 it will air the forst episode.
Habebe Member	Tue Aug 03 03:28:25 I mean, id your going to have lesbian warriors, yous think they add in some muff diving scenes atleast.Probably would have went over better.
