SilverBullet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Been a couple years since I've seen this but the Haunting of Hill House is absolutely fantastic. Powerful stuff, amazing writing. What a story. I loved it so much. One of those that changes after you finish it and so you'll want to watch it again once you know the ending. And I think the themes and messages of the show are so deep. It's got ghosts and stuff but all of that is actually metaphors for some real life problems. Once you understand it you can argue that there actually isn't one ghost in the whole show.

Everything in the MCU is tied in and if you don't see the connection now it will eventually come back around and connect later. Everything. Guardians special is just a short film set in Christmas time connecting the 2nd Guardians film to the 3rd. Werewolf at Night as of now is more of introducing a few characters that will pop up again in future MCU content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Oh I was given a recommendation to see Bullet Train and I couldn't even finish it. So not entertaining. I'm sure some would like it but that's a whole different type of whacky shit, a completely different style of silly sensory overload that I just can't get into. And that's saying something from me because I consider Dumb and Dumber my all time favorite movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 And werewolf by night I think you need a bit of a disclaimer or explanation before watching it so that you aren't thrown off and turned off by what you're seeing... There was a brief point in time (in the 70s I believe) where Marvel comics took a little deviation away from classic superheroes and dabbled in comics based on classic horror monsters like werewolves and vampires and so a collection of comics in that realm exists in Marvel history. To start toying with that world they did this project, more of a short film, but they purposely did it in that classic but a little campy horror style of like the 1940s or so (not positive on the years). So when you watch Werewolf by Night you have to know theyre purposely going for that style of film. I remember explaining this to my wife and then she enjoyed it because if I hasn't told her that she'd be like why the fuck am I watching some old black and white monster movie? (Oh and to compare this to She Hulk, in my opinion, Werewolf by Night purposely does it different and hits it right on the head while I thought She Hulk missed the target. So it's not about doing it differently it's about doing it right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't love horror movies, I shied away from them forever. But Hill House showed me that horror with good writing is something I enjoy because it's not just about scaring me, and so I feel like I've been chasing that type of horror ever since I saw that show. I think I can probably say I've watched more horror content in the couple years since I seen Hill House than I ever have in my life before because of how that show changed what I'm looking for with horror.

I enjoyed Bullet Train quite a bit but then again I would need to be paid quite a bit of money to watch Dumb and Dumber ever again. But I also think Jim Carey is a horrendous actor and comedian - I used to like him when I was in my early teens but by the time I was legally an adult I didn't find him amusing anymore.

SilverBullet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Anyone seen 1899 or Treason on Netflix? Considering either or both as my next watch. Not 1893, 1899, crazy that both of those similar years suddenly have shows of them at the same time lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple TV+ And no you don't need an Apple device to watch that, many people think you do. It is on Apple's website along with apps for many different devices.

SilverBullet Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Damn this thread has me hooked. Casa de Papel anyone? Translated as Money Heist in English on Netflix. Another strong engaging show. Spanish show and its translated into English but if you can understand the original Spanish it's way better that way as you're obviously getting the real actors and not voice dubbing from random actors.

Subtitles are fine and i find that if the movie is engaging you eventually don't even notice you're reading the words any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikol87 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 By the way, I agree that WW84 was surprisingly terrible, I didn’t make it through Bullet Train, and I was rather underwhelmed by Dune, especially relative to the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely HATED it the first time I watched it. I made it to about episode 5 or so when it first came out. Then this year I tried watching again at the insistence or so many people and I enjoyed it a lot more. I think season 2 is the best of the lot but it's worth watching overall imo. It's nothing groundbreaking and some of the themes do get a little tiresome because they beat it to death but I thought it was decent overall.
