I was disappointed because I really like her as an actress but it was just terrible and I couldn’t stomach it after two or three episodes.

Then episode five (of six) goes completely bat-shit bonkers, looking at ratings on IMDB people seem to agree with me and the last episode gets a decent rating again, but whoever thought five was a good idea needs to lay off the....

MikeO Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Downloaded seven classic Sidney Poitier films and watching them in date order, starting with The Defiant Ones from 1958, man's a trailblazer if ever there was one. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would post the list here, but it would likely take up the entire page. The list I have also breaks up certain tv seasons, so for example you start Agents of Shield and do episodes 1-7, then it's Thor Dark World, and then back to episodes 8-16 of AoS.

Think the main decision is whether to watch them in chronological order of events or by release date. My motivation really is to understand how my wife got so drawn into it, it really was never her type of thing but for some long forgotten reason she went to the cinema with Josh to watch one and was immediately hooked; she had them all on her hard drive and watched them again and again, and when a new one came out the two of them always had to see it on opening day. dunlopp9987, Matt and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had only seen a few of them before covid. Did a release date watchthrough at the beginning of covid, then did a chronological last year. Now doing the full chronological. Was just talking with my friends about the appeal of the MCU, and I think it's partially because there's nothing like it. There are certainly other franchises that have a wide story net (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Star Trek, etc) but nothing comes close to this. Star Wars has a few character arc break-offs (Solo, Mandalorian, etc) but the MCU has endless. Just off the top of my head, from Phase 1-3 we've seen FOURTEEN characters get at least one spin-off TV series or film. That is unheard of. It's an all-encompassing world that has never been achieved before, and I don't think it ever will again. MikeO and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a great program ends it’s quite emotive. I thought the baddie was great in this series, he was Byron Hadley from shawshank.

I had never heard of it, until I got bored a couple months ago, looking for a new game and downloaded Witcher 3. So when I noticed it on Netflix (right before season 2 dropped) I binged thru, and watched season 2 the day it dropped. Very true to the game at least, and enjoyed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoat Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 May watch Vigil again now that it's on Paramount. Managed to keep VPN hooked up long enough to stream it on ITV. Basically anything with Suranne Jones in gold for me. She has about become my favorite actress, bar none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 I finally sat down and calculated how many hours of viewing this massive MCU watch-through is, with all movies and tv series'. It's over 400 hours. That's almost 17 days if you watched straight through. What the actual fuck am I doing with my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
