it got panned because critics found it hard to follow (lol), but it's one of the best war movies in my opinion simply because it adheres to the history so well.
I was trying to convince my girlfriend that Lost was never bad, it's just that they didn't really know how to end it. Some people like the ending. I wanted to know more about the big statues.
She thinks it's like Game of Thrones, where everything went downhill.
I'm going through this now. It's got shockingly good dialogue and the premises are, for the most part, really pretty decent.
Also stuff that we would never see today, like an episode where reading from the Bible drives a smug communist crazy and multiple episodes where Civil War Confederate soldiers are shown in a positive light.
I always love the part where the psychiatrist that Bruce Willis kidnaps finally believes his conspiracy theories and starts helping him with his future quest to prevent the next pandemic.
Then Willis gets so whitepilled that he has a reverse Uno psychotic break believing that he's actually a schizophrenic and not actually from the future and wants to chill in the past.
Then a pimp confuses the doc for one of his working girls and Bruce primally returns to his violent protective instincts.
The Big Short is based on a Michael Lewis book, so much like Moneyball with Brad Pitt, it's more dramatized and takes lots of liberties with the truth to tell a better story.
There is some parodying of government in The Big Short.
Steve Carrell goes to the bond rating agency at one point to figure out why the subprime market isn't crashing despite being full of dogshit. It's run by some old bint who just rubber stamps everything as to not rock the boat.
There's also a scene where they meet a SEC official at a pool. She turns out to be some younger slag who is only interested in fucking the very traders she's supposed to be policing.
Movie: Toss up between Demolition Man, Running Man or Time After Time
Show: Devil Hunter Yohko, Plastic Little (oh.. you weren't talking about ovas?) Avengers Season 4 and 5 (the Emma Peel episodes), Band of Brothers, The Last Ship, Roughnecks: Starship Troopers, Dungeons & Dragons animated series, Green Lantern the animated series, Police Squad, Tales from the Darkside, Venture Bros.
Great choices, especially Lawrence. I'm sorry for giving you a hard time in the other thread, the sentiment wasn't solely directed at you.
Movies: The Third Man, Casablanca, Ikiru, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, There Will Be Blood, Conan the Barbarian, Red Dawn, The Last Unicorn, Die Hard, Predator, Hard Boiled, The Princess Bride
Anime: Cowboy Bebop, Anohana, Initial D, Rurouni Kenshin, Death Note, Frieren, Lain, Legend of the Galactic Heroes
TV: Sharpe, Horatio Hornblower, I, Claudius, Shogun (1980 version, with Mifune as Tokugawa), Hercules: the Legendary Journeys, Columbo
If you want to be overstimulated by draw dropping animation and excellent jams, then the movie's 7 years in production and it almost bankrupting the studio are well worth it. I recommend watching it subbed.
Movie: Batman show: Batman
Which Batman show and movie
TAS and Batman&Robin of course.
Movie: The Batman Show: The Batman
The Batman animated TV show from mid-00's was very underrated imo
I've been rewatching it lately. It's a lot of fun. I do enjoy the slightly different take on the characters.
The ones with Batman actually in them so any but Gotham or penguin or whatever other derivative crap people try to get me to watch
based
off the top of my head:
Movies: Midway (both), The Kingsman, Princess Mononoke
Shows: Star Trek TnG and DS9, Firefly, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
I like the newer Midway as well. It gets looked over a lot but it's pretty good.
it got panned because critics found it hard to follow (lol), but it's one of the best war movies in my opinion simply because it adheres to the history so well.
And both movies were able to perfectly weave in personal stories of the warfighters, without neglecting the macro events of the battle
Movie: Truman show, cuz I honestly feel like we're all in some social experiment.
Show: Planetes
Just dystopian rather than utopian like The Truman Show.
I just watched the truman show. It's horrifying and also one of my favorite movies
Movie - The Godfather
Show - Lost
I was trying to convince my girlfriend that Lost was never bad, it's just that they didn't really know how to end it. Some people like the ending. I wanted to know more about the big statues.
She thinks it's like Game of Thrones, where everything went downhill.
Movie: The Outsiders
TV show: Beast Wars
I read the outsiders book in middle school!
"Stay golden, Ponyboy!"
I did too. Well, in High School. I think it was an effort by the teachers to seem 'cool'.
Movie: The Prestige
Show: The Twilight Zone (the OG)
I'm going through this now. It's got shockingly good dialogue and the premises are, for the most part, really pretty decent.
Also stuff that we would never see today, like an episode where reading from the Bible drives a smug communist crazy and multiple episodes where Civil War Confederate soldiers are shown in a positive light.
Movie: 12 Monkeys
Show: Carnivale

Movie: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
Show: Outlaw Star
primo choices
Movie: Blade Runner- The Final Cut
Show: Stargate SG-1
Farscape (show)
I get Margin Call confused with The Big Short.
I also found the storyline where they track down a fired Stanley Tucci at his home odd.

Movie: Waking Life
Show: Hill Street Blues
Movie: The Death of Stalin
Show: The Unwanted Undead Adventurer, The IT crowd and realise even though it's a comedy, these are the kind of people hoping to use AI.
Movie: Goodfellas
Show: HBO's Rome
movie: Ghost in the Shell(1995)
it's a little more serious (and a hell of a lot more surreal) than the tv series.
Seriously, that movie tripped my brain out in the best way...
You did say "movies", as in plural. Too many great films to pick just one anyway.

All good 👍. I never heard of 1980 shogun
Movie: Heat (1995)
Show: Welcome to the NHK
Redline.

M.A.S.H. is still a good TV show.
Classic movies for the youngsters here:
Amadeus. It's set in the past so it's actually better having been made in the before times before CGI. Theatrical cut.
Leaving Las Vegas. Back in the day they made movies so good you never wanted to watch it a second time.
The Man Who Knew Too Little. Just a simple comedy that works, from the before the quips era. Better now than when it was released.
They all have hot actresses, which back in the day was just the norm.
Because I watched both recently:
Movie: Gladiator
Show: Violet Evergarden
