xp I’m 2/3 through Station Eleven and altho I find it uneven, when it hits it’s almost transcendent

also yall with access to Hulu can watch my best friend’s major studio directorial debut NO EXIT this Friday, it looks like a nail-biter

assert (matttkkkk), Monday, 21 February 2022 12:01 (two years ago) link

We finished Station Eleven this weekend and then I read the plot outline of the novel it was based on. The changes made were pretty fundamental. I kind of like the direction the show went better.

Yeah it drags a little bit in the middle but overall, i thought it was much better than the book in almost every respect - character, plot, themes etc

Roz, Monday, 21 February 2022 15:22 (two years ago) link

Iloved how it ended. Havent read the book though.

I couldn't focus much on the Station Eleven book, but the show is great. I watched episode 4 (the one with David Cross) today and it's one of the best episodes of anything I've watched lately. Archive 81 is up next.

Elvis Telecom, Tuesday, 22 February 2022 09:44 (two years ago) link

Episode 5 even better imho

groovypanda, Tuesday, 22 February 2022 11:36 (two years ago) link

Good to hear. I warned my wife that I'd heard of people jumping ship after the first episode, or mid-season, but that everything I've heard about the series as a whole has been great.

Is there a lag latency in Justwatch? I see that some things that timed out of Mubi and Criterion last night are still there.

Yeah, that's a pretty solid encapsualtion of why I still buy physical media like a mofo.

Has anyone checked out The Dropout, this new Elizabeth Holmes series on YouTube? I have no particular interest in Holmes’ story, but I think Amanda Seyfried is a really good actress…

We watched a little dropout but it was corny.

DJI, Saturday, 5 March 2022 07:33 (two years ago) link

i'm late to this, but i'm on episode 5 of normal people and quite like it

Punster McPunisher, Sunday, 6 March 2022 18:47 (two years ago) link

i think i’m now officially over fictionalized movie/tv adaptations of things that are already documentaries

like can we please just stop this for like a few years

A

Tim, Sunday, 6 March 2022 22:34 (two years ago) link

Yeah, I can't stand that. Especially since the adaptations always seem to arrive within a year of the doc.

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 6 March 2022 22:47 (two years ago) link

like, Documentary Now did this for 3 seasons to excellent effect & that gap in culture is now filled. Something else plz!

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 6 March 2022 23:13 (two years ago) link

Guess you guys won’t be tuning in to this, huh… https://www.peacocktv.com/stream-tv/joe-vs-carole

Not Dork Yet (alternate toke) (morrisp), Monday, 7 March 2022 02:06 (two years ago) link

yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 7 March 2022 02:43 (two years ago) link

hard pass. the docuseries was tiresome enough

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 7 March 2022 03:48 (two years ago) link

For the avoidance of doubt: I wouldn’t watch that show if it were playing in my glasses (to quote an old Jimmy Pardo line)

Kate McKinnon's worst project since forging a relationship with Bari Weiss.

papal hotwife (milo z), Monday, 7 March 2022 05:55 (two years ago) link

oof. did not know about that one

Nhex, Monday, 7 March 2022 17:53 (two years ago) link

Maybe Winning Time will get its own thread -- the pilot won me over, but Adam McKay's style doesn't rub me as wrong as it does other on here. Great cast.

we’ve had some brief discussion on the lakers thread on ILH

Clay, Tuesday, 8 March 2022 06:21 (two years ago) link

Firsf episode of _Dropout_ was okay enough but I’m treating it as mid level so far. Music sync choices not bad but there was one amusing moment where they had a Wolf Parade song playing a year before they formed…

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 8 March 2022 06:24 (two years ago) link

^^^^^ on this. The Documentary Now episode with Cate Blanchett as Marina Abramović went through all the next levels and thoroughly closed the door behind.

Another example: Apple has a new series about the WeWork debacle, starring Leto and Hathaway. But there was just a big WeWork doc last year or so!

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 9 March 2022 04:02 (two years ago) link

If the doc gets attention, it just proves that there is an appetite for more, so I'm never surprised to see the drama get announced soon after

And in full disclosure, I usually prefer the drama version so people like me are exactly the reason this trend won't abate

Vinnie, Wednesday, 9 March 2022 05:14 (two years ago) link

My wife’s been watching The Righteous Gemstones, and I’ve seen chunks of it (without paying close enough attention to really follow the plot). There’s some funny stuff—particularly involving the adult siblings—but every character pretty much talks in the exact same “voice” (Danny McBride’s, I assume).

Not Dork Yet (alternate toke) (morrisp), Thursday, 10 March 2022 05:53 (two years ago) link

(real tv show, also The Righteous Gemstones fyi)

(every character is profane, but most of them definitely have distinct voices)

On the flipside, less than a year after a high profile Lucille Ball movie, now it looks like we're getting a high profile Lucille Ball documentary.

Ten weeks later on the same streaming platform, one month later at Sundance.

bad luck banging, or Lorna Doone (sic), Friday, 11 March 2022 16:12 (two years ago) link

The Dropout is super corny, but I think Seyfried is great at nailing the awkwardness.

Started watching The Flight Attendant based on a few recommendations here. So far so good, but somehow it is also reminding me a bit of this old show, which I believe originated on Sky One, not sure how I saw it here in the US.

I watched “Somebody Somewhere” on HBOMax & finished it in two days, it’s great. so lovely & normcore & yeah its kinda Duplass-y but not in an annoying way. Bridgett Everett is fantastic.

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 17 March 2022 04:16 (two years ago) link

Yeah, it's very quality stuff, funny and sweet. I'm not into the Duplassy thing either, maybe it helps that they weren't actually in it. Everett is a revelation.

Nhex, Thursday, 17 March 2022 06:05 (two years ago) link

also Murray Hill as Fred Rococo omg <3

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 17 March 2022 15:10 (two years ago) link

Halfway through Bad Vegan and yeeeeesh. (I am amused that 'Netflix documentary' is clearly its own genre now given how the term is used in conversation out of the gate.)

Ned Raggett, Thursday, 17 March 2022 15:13 (two years ago) link

as someone who has carried Bridget onto a stage before, welcome to the party

"Kate McKinnon's worst project since forging a relationship with Bari Weiss." wait what?

akm, Thursday, 17 March 2022 17:36 (two years ago) link

xp for the record i think Bridget and Murray and Jeff Hiller are all amazing on this show but the plotting and the show itself just doesn't live up to what they bring to the table

i cannot help if you made yourself not funny (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 17 March 2022 17:36 (two years ago) link

oh that was some time ago. nvm (xpost)
