What are you watching?

One of the comments “Don’t tell me it ends at Burning Man” :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Mrs J_C commented after seeing the trailer "it’s a bit grown man takes Psychedelics to learn and sets impossible goal in hopes to achieve what average Female knows by 12 years old…

Should be called ‘Man realises stuff’"

Would still watch it though!

Ha! Mrs J_C is completely correct in her judgement.

Should be called rich kid rewatches Forrest Gump and goes, “I have a great idea!”

Also, I think we’ve seen enough. Daddy issues? Check.

one of my close friends married a guy who’s an ultra-marathoner. he comes from a family of running enthusiasts. they live in tucson, and he’s out there in the punishing heat. to me, it looks absolutely miserable/impossible.

i was mentioning him and his multi-day runs and my brother-in-law, completely unprovoked, was like “i could do that”. i just laughed as he insisted that it was certainly more mental than physical.

what is it with men? the dunning-kruger effect, right there in front of my own eyes.

I rewatched State of Grace last night.
It was a favourite of mine, saw it in the cinema, got the VHS somewhere but hadn’t seen it in decades.
I think it’s aged pretty well. A good cast of up and comings and the score by Ennio Morricone is lovely.
I’ve been a fan of Gary Oldman since the Firm, but a bit like that film this one is a touch over-written. He has a way of delivering lines that must make script writers think ‘more, more, more’.
Still, if you like that kind of thing it’s worth revisiting I reckon. On Prime.

Watched it on sunday. Great film. I did cry pretty much all the way through.

Same! The library scene was tough. The two of them in the car was very funny!

One of my fave films, pretty unsung imo, Oldman & Penn are great, Oldman in full ‘chewing the scenery’ mode.
My first time seeing John C Reilly in anything. I had a VHS taped off the telly for years & watched it quite a few times, got a DVD copy a few years ago.

Really enjoying Industry. I didnt think I would but once you get passed some of the cliché stuff around working in the city, theres good tv drama there.

I agree - although I don’t understand a single thing about what they actually do for work.

Like minds. Also watched on Prime the other night. Strikes me how wild 90s NYC still looks.

It does doesn’t it? I haven’t been there since the 90’s but I imagine it’s all been gentrified as they talk about in the film.

It’s based on the Westies, an Irish American crew/outfit based in Hell’s Kitchen.

I love it. Think it’s the best thing on TV.
Don’t understand half of what they’re talking about but it’s got me thinking about how the country is run - not by the politicians!

Started watching season 1 after seeing the chatter on here. Loving it so far.

There’s an upcoming MGM tv show about this lot, imaginatively titled ‘The Westies’. Created by one of the blokes who made Narcos.
