For that show at least, it's worth it. I thought it was quite good.Tensa said:
Not really a movie, but I'm interested in the new show, Chernobyl. But I'm unsure if HBO is worth spending $3 monthly.
@kiho: I know where you're coming from, but I feel the show portrayed just about everyone but some of the politicians in a positive life. I'm not saying there isn't corruption in other countries, but you have to admit Russia has always been the type to attempt to admit nothing and bury everything.
Which coincidence! I've started watching it last weekend. The first two episodes and I really like it. I've to say that radiactivity is a thing that fascinated me for a long time now. Bc of its invisible deadlyness I guess. So it's interesting to see what radiaoctivity does with the body. Chernobyl has only 5 episodes. Is it possible to quit it after a month? I would say give it a try.
Yeah, I'd sign up for their free trial, binge it, then quit.
The Soviet Union was initially quiet about the accident but very quickly became totally transparent and forthcoming about the accident. More so that any other country vis-a-vis a nuclear accident has up to that point. I refer you to the UK windscale disaster, which was covered up at the time for fear that the US would not continue joint nuclear weapons development. read more....TommyGunn said:

Only made me more hyped to play doom vfr.

matrix revolution.
that movie's premise look ridiculous now...
without mr smith and tentacles fighting outside matrix, it would be a very contemplative, out of the world show.

I just saw it out of curiosity, if not I didn't even know it existed
I saw it mentioned somewhere...someplace earlier Thursday but it didn't register in my head as being real. Then I noticed it was on the Trending tab on YouTube, and I'm like, "Well I GOTTA check this out..." and...yep. The like to dislike ratio was pretty much what I expected.
The uncanny valley is highly prominent with this one. Too weird for me. Felt...wrong, somehow. XD

I looked it up.

I watched Mr. Bean and Chicken Little with my cousins, it was on a whim, it was a little nostalgic, Chicken Little was the first movie I went to see in the movie theater on a school tour, and it was a long time since I saw both.
Apart from that, almost every day I wake up and access the Internet, a character gender or race or both was swapped unnecessarily, it's not as if I were to watch anyway, I lost interest in movies a long time I can't remember why, but doesn't mean I'll ever watch some movie again, I hope these "people" don't find a way to fucked up the animes/manga industry at least with these ideologies, currently one of the few hobbie that I have.

I read that the new 007 is gonna be a black lady. I figured that would happen sooner or later.
I've noticed that, in these reboots and remakes, they're always changing the race to black. I think that's pretty interesting myself.
They're completely ignoring all the Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, etc. actresses that could be doing just as good a job at re-imagining the role.
I know people claim it's not because studios are trying to be more PC and liberal, but it sure feels like pandering to me.

I personally do not see sense in it, I mean, they can create original series/character and put any person they want, I personally think that remake or not, if you have a source, should be more faithful possible, without putting politics in the middle, exchange consecrated characters only by ideological bias does not seem to be an good idea, I may be wrong but I doubt they'll profit as much as if they had done as close as possible to the source on which it was based, which leads me to believe that it is not so much for money, but worse, seem to be hiring by color or sex, if it were the opposite would be accused of "sexist " or "racism" and hundreds of other terms, without mentioning that if you exchange a woman for a man or a black for a white one will call you the terms above, for me it's hypocrisy.
Pacific rim has been added to netflix recently.
I love how the computer's voice has been voiced by GLaDOS.

My wife was recently traveling on a business and watched part of fortuna's eye on one leg of her flight. Tonight we watched the full movie. It is a Japanese movie about a person that can see when people are about to die. It is a very good movie. I highly recommend it - not the run of the mill Hollywood stuff.
Also, Parasite just received the Oscar for best film, best director and best original screen play. This a Korean film (which my wife also watched a few weeks ago while flying to a business meeting) and I also highly recommend it. It is dark humor, an original plot and very well done.

I watched "The Children's Hour" tonight and it ended up being a lot darker than I imagined. Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine gave terrific performances, and the subject matter is still heartbreakingly relevant to our times.
Goodfellas 7/10
Never seen this before as mobster films aren't really my thing. Was a good watch though.

And omg this movie is pretty good! I'd give it like a 7.5/10. It's about 2 friends, and one of the friends has a husband, but her friend is also flirting with her husband on the low. It gets really deep tho. Give it a waaaaatch.
I swear, for a couple uh years there I didn't "get" why people were so in to Pennywise from the 2017 remake. I hadn't yet seen the film, but the dude's a child killer and scary. And you've got hot chicks cosplaying as him. It was weird to me.
Well, I finally watched the remake a couple of nights ago and it instantly clicked. Like...he's evil, of course, but also you end up liking him? I 100% credit this to Bill Skarsgård's performance and physicality in the role.
The effects were great too.

I honestly don't watch movies often, but since I was doing exercises the last month to motivate myself I resorted to the classic Rocky, so I remembered that I had not seen Creed 2 yet, I liked it a little more than the first but like other comments I have read, I empathize more with the antagonists than with Adonis himself, I don't know but that man doesn't convince me
So is Michael Myers human or no?
i think he is a possessed human. He is an unsopable force of destruction and evil, and that demon inside him makes him a lot stronger and harder to kill.
Yeah, I learned a little bit more about him in the time since I wrote that, and apparently he's never meant to die. So, to me, that means he's not human.

over 4 years agoHollywood also produced The China Syndrome, but it is all fictitious.
It is interesting that there are documentaries about Three Mile Island, but no docudramas have been made. The Three Mile Island accident is probably the most serious accident in the US because it was the result of widespread, endemic management failure, more than any technical issues. It would be prime fodder for a docudrama. FYI
Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant did experience a minor hydrogen explosion in the secondary containment, which is why a decision was taken to vent the radioactive gases from it to prevent a more serious explosion. The reactor was less than 30 minutes away from an uncontrolled meltdown when the day shift arrived.....and one of the day operators closed a backup valve for the PORVPressure Operated Relief valve.....well, just because it was a good precaution.....saving much of Pennsylvania from becoming an exclusion zone.
I have a person interest in Three Mile Island, because the morning of the accident, I arrived on campus at 7:00AM for my Thermodynamics class. My professor specialized in Nuclear Power Plant cooling and had spent most of the night on the telephone.....The whole lecture was dedicated to the incident. At that time everything was already known about the cause, the extent of the damage and how it was contained. This information was only made public many years later, well after it was only an afterthought for the public.
You can bet that everything was also known about the extent of the damage at Fukushima as well, but the authorities chose to discredit themselves....
There is a documentary: Incident at Browns Ferry (1977). This movie is unrated and considerable pressure was applied to public Television stations not to air this movie. Again, it is a documentary, not a docudrama. Brown's Ferry NPP design had a single point of failure that nearly lead to a catastrophic melt down of two reactors. It seems that since the Chernobyl docudrama, many pictures of the Browns Ferry NPP fire have been removed from the internet, including from wikipedia....Here are some pictures of the burnt out cable ways that had carried the control signals to the reactors. Even Metal Conduits where burned through by the intense fire. It was a heroic effort to control the fire and the reactors with technicians entering the containment to manually operate valves!
