Lol well that's you so it's understandable but these are the series i have watched twice from starting to ending, all seasons.
The originals.
Legend of the seeker.
Secret circle.
Witches of the east end.
Spartacus.
Merlin.

I think series over the years have changed drastically and doesn't give enough time for the audience to fall completely in love with the casts and that has made people to watch a series just once and forget about the series then move to another.

Back in the days, a single character or few characters in a series can make you go back to re-watch the entire series again, just because you fell in love with a character.
For example, i have re watched the originals more than 5 times simply because Klaus Michealson became the actor i like the most, i just fell for his acting in the originals and with some outstanding characters like Elijah, Rebekah and the rest.

I keep going back to watch legend of the seeker because of the mother Confessor. I can tell you for a fact that i fell in love with that woman, till today my affection for her never wavers, i am crazy about her.
My point is that series nowadays are being rushed and they give no time for character development and for the audience to fall in love with the casts.

If you ask anybody in this group, which of the series they can watch again, they will all mention old series and this is why you see that many people, especially teenagers are crazy about Korea actresses and actors, it's because they give room for character development.
You're so effing right!! There're so many series you could watch over and over again and it gets better every time.
Korean series are so rewatchable too. Series like boys before flowers, City Hunter and heirs are the standard for rewatchability
Series I've rewatched over and over again is definitely Game of Thrones, I've rewatched this like a thousand times and plan to rewatch when house of the Dragon comes out.
Another of mine is
Bridgerton (no Diddy)
Better Call Saul
The Boys

Shogun is the kind of series you think is going somewhere but never does
A perfect 7/10 series great characters, decent writing but no epic finale for you

She lives for revenge bro. Regardless of whatever she's said. Everyone is out to get the imperium

You absolutely don't understand the characters nor their writing..in this rebel moon..

Well, let's agree to disagree.

I don't ag with your point and so do you mine

The movie is top notch. It's Snyder you don't like not the movie.

It's only Sucker Punch I'll say the writing was poor but the actions lived up to cover for it
None of Zack Snyder's writing has ever been good and action can never cover up bad writing

Just finished seeing the Scargiver (Rebel Moon)

10/10


The tragedy was top notch. Can't believe I was moved to tears when Nemesis died and the boy was with her. It's so chilly chilling scene.

Also when Gunner died.. that's expected. Athelisas must pay for her sins one way or the other

Its nice when Jimmy showed up too to join the fight..

Men.. the movie is lit.


Part 3.. Finding Princess Issa.. will be the best of all the rebel moon



Zack Snyder.. you are the man!
I used 2gb to download this movie thinking Rebel Moon couldn't get any worse, I was wrong. Worst movie and worst dialogue I have ever seen in a movie this year and it isn't even close. I couldn't even finish it😂😂😭. Someone should be looking over Zack Snyder's head when he's writing nonsense

The absolute dire state of cinema culture mann 😫. The wait time for blockbusters to hit VOD shelves is like one month!. At this despicable rate, no movie is clocking 1bn greens anytime soon, even gulping 500 mil, would be an absolute miracle fgs.
In the case of Monkey Man, I wasn't expecting it to make a lot of money. I just know it will be very successful on streaming

DUNE PART TWO...a solid 10/10

If you didn't download this in 1080p or 720p you are missing out, many things dey I fit talk on this movie grin

1. I like relationship btw emperor shaddam and his daughter a father that listen to his daughter who is a bene gesserit , who else notice that bene gesserit actually controls all the great houses the root of this witches is very deep undecided

2. Stilgar and gurney loyalty to Paul can't be questioned, this guys both believes he's the messiah even before Paul took control cheesy

3. Lady Jessica talking to her unborn child, also overthrowing the sisterhood, what space cocaine cannot do does not exist grin
Those scenes with Stilgar (Javier Bardem) was soo funny to me. Paul could tell Stilgar to cut his two hands and he'll agree! L'isan Al'Ghaib!

Maybe the haters watched the 480p version. I rewatched the 1080p version. The movie is just too beautiful to exist!

Seems some don't like the movie.
I was also shocked a friend said he didn't like DUNE Part one. And said it was mid. This is a person whom I highly rate his entertainment choices since most of my hobbies and content are very similar.

Also met someone few weeks ago saying Dune was boring, I no too mind am and look am say e no sabi film. So it's prolly a matter of "one man's meat is another man's poison."
Dune Part Two - 12/10
I rewatched this movie on my phone this time. It felt like it was too short!!! The run time could be 4 hours and I would be happy! One of the most rewatchable movies I have ever scene. Every scene is a painting. You could pause at a particular part and you could use it for a wallpaper. One of the most beautiful movies I have ever watched!

Those clowns that compared this mid series to GOT. How do y'all feel now?

7 episodes in, still nothing intriguing about it. I regret giving it a 7/10 rating, should have been less.
You're right about this tho, the show is kinda mid compared to Game of Thrones. It is like Succession but with no captivating plot
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Illusioneffect(m): 6:33pm On Apr 06, 2024
People here saying the Dune movie is a chore, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!huhhuhhuhhuh
Do you guys watch good movies at all? I rewatched the first Dune like a sixth time!
TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Illusioneffect(m): 6:32pm On Apr 06, 2024
Watching Dune and sleeping off means you have the attention span of a fly and don''t know what good cinemas is. You definitely wont like a Scorcese movie or even the Lord of the Rings

It isn't. Zaslav don smoke something. A movie that is going to 750mil, you decided it should go directly to streaming. THat's the reason Nolan left WB

3 Body Problem season 1......8.5/10


Auggie is the most unlikeable and annoying character in the show....she pisses me off everytime she's on screen.

An Alien threat is coming to destroy your planet and your like: "who cares, it's in 400 years"
Wtf??

If you don't want to make efforts to help your race, that's fine, but actively discouraging others from doing so all because your work was used to kill humans who sided with the enemy and have been leading the alien race to earth is annoying...

At least other sensible characters are doing what needs to be done...not that Auggie who is nothing more than a Mary Sue and one with so much nonsense childish drama


Anyway, I've been looking for spoilers from the books the series is based on
This is actually a very real thought process for people without families and who may never have one. It's just a representation of lonely people who don't want to have families

8/10

Movies I watched this week -
Aliens - 1979 (9/10) - THis movie have the most useless scientist and astronauts of all times. Apart from that, the vfx still holds to this day. Not quite as horrific as the Evil Dead
Evil Dead (1981) - 110/10 - I couldn't watch this movie without skipping a lot of places. Anyone who can watch this movie fully is a certified demon to be totally honest because wtf!!!!!!!!!!! I can't imagine myself rewatching this movie alone. THis is far more horrific than the COnjuring and Sinister joined together and it is just an hour and 30 minutes
Nymphomaniac - 7/10 - I was curious about watching NC-17 and X rated movies that are artforms but not porn and this movies stands out above every thing else. Better than Showgirls in my opinion. It is about a nymphomaniac and her sexcapades. Apart from all the many sex scenes where we could see her sucking stuff without blurring anything. It is just like porm but with a story. Mia Goth, Uma Thurman and the Dune guy is even in this movie. Nuts!
Road House (1989) - 2/10 - THis movie is totally boring asf! The new version is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better
Bad Boys - 9/10 - One of my most nostalgic films of all times. Still hilarious and heartwarming till this day
Drive - 9/10 - This movie is insane. I thought it would be a slow burn but omo, blood everywhere and insanely realistic in a way. high rewatchability value
King Kong - Very Fun almost 4 hour movie (Peter Jackson and his love of 4 hour movies should be checked

🎥 3 Body Problem S01 (2024) = 6/10 ✔️ ❤️

Good series. A bit femcentric but has great potential.
What does the dog pusssy licker mean by femcentric and what's even wrong with that. Because a series has a female lead doesn't make it femcentric. And this series doesn't even have a lead at all. Series doesn't even have any gender stuff at all, this masochistic demon decides to make a problem out of thin air........... as usual

"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it".....

Fantasy books are one of the hardest to write. Authors of these seemingly, have to create new worlds, places, continents, languages, food, religions, species, often from scratch and spin them into large volumes of books, so props to J.R.R. Tolkien for writing this, but do you know what i think is even harder than this? turning all these into a visual spectacle that is etched in one's memory for a lifetime.

Peter Jackson's LOTR series did exactly this!, A beautiful adaptation of a great book. Everything was pretty good, Good cast, good use of VFX, incredible cinematography, in fact the complete package. I copped the extended version, and you need to clock in around 12 hours and 6 minutes! straight to see all 3 in one stretch but it doesn't even feel like a chore because of how good they are. I'm due a yearly re-run soonest.

The LOTR is such an aesthetically, culturally and historically important lore, that, me thinks, if we somehow make contact with aliens in the future and we are trying to show them our very best flicks from earth, a box set of these would totally be first in line 😉.

A rare 10/10 👍🏾.
and doing it all in 2003 is insane. The visual effects in this movies were totally better than all the Marvel movies of 2020 (yes, even No Way Home). I still believe those were the years of the pinnacle of Vfx. Most of the vfx shots were shot on computers that some people have at home. I remember when I was learning 3d imagery in school and we were using Cinema 4d and Massive and ZBrush, our school final project was recreating the Minas Tirith look and modeling characters of Orcs in our own style; None of ours was close to the movie in any way except we wanted to stay in the library rendering for months. The budget of all the movies was close to just 350 million which is a budget of a Marvel movie like Captain Marvel. Big shame

The Lord of the Rings trilogy - 10/10
I decided to watch the movies for nostalgia's sake. When I downloaded every one of them in 1080p and realised each of them is almost 4 hours long each, I couldn't believe I went through these movies when I was a child and didn't feel anything.
Watching it now, I can say Lord of the Rings is the reason we have Marvel movies, insane plot armors and movies in epic scales right now. Guys!! this 4 hour movies were shot together and released 3 years back to back!
The quality of storytelling and visual effects is awesome but the main reason these movies are the most epic movies of all times is the worldbuilding, score and makeup. How did this guys create those Orcs so realistically! Watching them didn't even feel like 4 hours and I can imagine how awesome it would be watching this masterpiece in theatres.
This is the kind of movie that prompts centuries of discuss and fan arts
Everyone should rewatch this movies once again and give their thoughts
