Gonna start watching (and probably finish) Making a Murderer sometime before this weekend is over.  Recently watched stuff, if I can remember it all:

 

Concussion - B.  Solid movie, great acting by Will Smith, but there wasn't much drama to it.

The Revenant - B+.  Starts out excellent and then tapers off.  Incredible filming, though.  

Star Wars - B.  Solid, good setup for the next few movies.  

The 33 - C.  Okay, but I'm already forgetting about it and I just watched it yesterday.

Slow West. Excellent western starring Michael Fassbender. Less than an hour and half long too. Really liked it a lot.

Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy.  In order of how it aired.  So you get the good, with the sort of good.  Such a great series.

Watched the first episode of Mr. Robot. Fascinating. They're doing a marathon today on USA network. I'm recording several of them to watch later.

I just finished Season 1 of Fargo. Damn good.

Not the most bitchenist, awesomist show I've ever seen, but well made and entertaining and well worth my time.

On to season 2 soon.

Season 2 is even better.

Season 2 is even better.

 

Disagreed. I found Season 1 far more interesting, with better characters. 

 

Anyways, I'm starting Deutschland 83. Looks like a keeper.

I think the characters in Season 1 may have seemed more interesting because it was on a smaller scale and the characters had a lot more screen time.

[Ray McKigney]

The Big Short. I really liked it. Explains the mortgage collapse in terms that allows the average person to understand. Christian Bale is terrific and so is Steve Carell.

maybe, but in the end they all die.

The more I think about it, I hated the ending of Fargo season 1. I need to rewatch it again because I still can't fathom it being so basic for how good the season was.

I'm not even tempted for season 2 because it was such a let down.

No, they don't

[Stradling]

Season two was better thought it was one of the best seasons of tv.

[Ray McKigney]

i'm only halfway through season 2, but i'd say it's pretty much equal to season 1. i'm glad they're not all that similar, really. enjoying it so far, and i've heard the last couple eps are pretty great.  

 

Every episode is really good, IMO. Milligan is one of the all-time great TV characters.

If after watching season one of Fargo you aren't tempted to watch season two you have incredibly high standards for your tv viewing. Or you are so busy that you watch very little tv. In my opinion it's a top 3-5 show on tv. The only show I think I like better is Ray Donovan.

[Brandon]

Both, but mainly the latter. I do value my time and don't want to spend it watching shit, things I think might be shit, or end up feeling like it was shit.

You must have misread my post as I said the season was great, the ending was little to be desired.

Started watching Superstore recently its pretty funny.

Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy. This show is responsible for so much of my wonder as a kid. The Christmas episode where the stewbum gets to be Santa always touches me.

Recorded a bunch of them. Time Enough At Last has always been my favorite episode.

[Homebrewer]

Bloodline is boring the shit outa me. Too many flashbacks, too much background and melodrama.

Pops had a stroke, and that took 3 episodes to happen, and so far that's all that's happened..

I will give it another 1/2 hour, but I'm doubting it is going to keep my interest.

Basically a "soap opera with good actors" is my opinion so far.

The dialogue is very soap.

That is a great episode. So many of them. One that I don't hear spoken of a lot is "A Pitch for the Angels"

[Glen]

It's also interesting to see all of the people who later became famous for different roles.

[Redondo]

Is this the one? Ed Wynn plays the lead character

 

[Jay]

Trainwreck: (B-) funny in parts otherwise mediocre and overly raunchy.  It was too long as well; the whole cheerleader thing at the end was quite dumb.  Going forward I will avoid any movie with Amy Schumer.

 

Whiplash: (A) great from start to finish.

Bone Tomahawk -- 3.75/5

Pretty good flick. Drags at the beginning. It could benefit from a score, as well. I didn't get a very big horror vibe from it.
