This movie is fucking terrible. I don't get how it's so beloved. Christian Slater reminded me of Simple Jack from Tropic Thunder. Ron Pearlman was just awful. B movie acting.
Just watched this for the first time ever. It's a dated, silly B-movie (can't believe it came out the year of the timeless classic Pulp Fiction). Some awful acting (the much praised Brandon is not completely immune to this).
The best thing about it is the atmosphere. It reminded me of Dark City.
Nostalgia is a crazy thing (I know it as I love Hackers)
I haven't read the book, so I have no idea what they are talking about most of the time. 3 episodes in and It's frustratingly too mysterious. I would dump it by now if I weren't a fan of the two leads.
I got emotional even during the Previously On..., lol. We watched these kids literally grow up. It's going to be sad not seeing what the Coopers have been up to :cry:
I like this kind of mystery stories. As long as they don't get too mysterious and provide little answers.
Only the last 15 minutes with Chauvin were worth of an episode.
Like most people, I watched this to see Nic Cage's only Oscar winning performance. I thought it would be a mainstream Hollywood movie. And wow, I was not expecting a funny, explicit and sad movie about two broken people finding each other. Loved that we didn't get a bullshit ending where he recovers.
I never watch movie trailers. I thought this would be a horror movie in the style of Don't Breathe and a bad one with all those lazy jump scares). That supernatural reveal caught me by surprise.
It's a fun movie with some unpredictability.
I was expecting a punk moment during the piano scene :/
I don't like the recreations. It feels cheap. The Jinx was prestige true crime.
The most focused episode so far and yet the most superfluous. I liked it because this time I was actually able to follow the plot, lol.
It starts slow and I wasn't feeling it (Clint Eastwood singing? No.) but once the Mormons appear and the pace picks up. It gets really funny. I didn't feel the length.
Lee Marvin's fully committed performance makes the movie.
I thought the ending credits were going to come up when the "5 years later" text appeared. I would have preferred that open ending.
Oh, I hate cliffhangers that will eventually have no consequences next season.
The two moles are nowhere near charismatic and memorable as the first one (I completely forgot the one working for the cops).
The story is a bit of a convoluted mess.
IDGAF about how close or not this was to real history. Good storytelling is good storytelling. And this was it.
It's so obvious Tom is full of shit. Too obvious.
"And the Emmy for Best Actor in a Limited Series goes to..."
So many political incorrect jokes (boy scouts, 7/11...)
Saddest episode yet sniff
_
Such an stacked cast for such a mediocre remake.
Am I the only one watching this in a non-judgmental manner?! I'm enjoying the hell out of this.
Great pilot. Great performances. I'm intrigued now about where this is going to.
The low rating on imdb is criminal! But I get it. People must have expected a conventional horror movie with scares every 10 minutes. And this reminded me of Audition, in that all the horror is in the last act.
Finally the titular character gets a good storyline.
This show has become so ridiculous.
I read this is David Lynch's most accesible movie. I didn't think he would play it so straight (no pun intended, I swear).
People complain about the ending but did you really expect these two old men to have a deep conversation after not having seen each other in 10 years?
I thought the characters were a bit one dimensional. And the ending with the whole community didn't ring true to me.
The story is not coming together for me. Third episodes are make-or-break.
I had so much expectations because of the hype online. What a disappointment. It's a good idea on paper but I thought it was boring. The CGI is awful (the best death scene involves practical effects).
Maybe it would have worked better as a short film.
