watching movies in 10 minute increments reminds me of the days of 8-track tapes. the tape would pause while switching to the next track with no regard for the song playing, often times right in the middle of it.

I just finished Godfather of Harlem, season 1.

"decent, not great" is the right review.

The show suffers from Bumpy Johnson constantly interacting with historical figures like Malcolm X, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr, mafia bosses Vincent Gigante and Joseph Banano, and even Cassius Clay for an episode.

He certainly knew Malcolm X for decades. But, I don't think there are any stories of him working with Congressman Powell. And, the constant meetings with bosses of two of the Five Families seems very unlikely.

They also have Johnson acting in ways that nearly changed history dramatically.



Those things didn't happen.

The show is trying to make Bumpy Johnson a bigger historical figure than he was.

But, I would have been much more interested in how he actually ran Harlem. We barely know anything about Bumpy's Harlem associates- the black men who ran his criminal business. Any screentime they could have got gets sucked up by the historical figures.

reads more like Bumpy Gump than Bumpy Johnson.

lol jack ryan gunfight of last episode of season 2



this show is beyond fake. and of course all the cia propaganda

lol that was my favorite part, Filthy

also i kept thinking throughout the show "man, this situation really needs jack bauer"

damnit!

seriously, I had the same exact reponse to that scene...."where is the Venezuelan airforce??"

I still enjoyed the show, tho

i will post spoilers, but if you are worried about having jack ryan season 2 spoiled for you... i don't even know what to say.

so regarding the assassin sniper...

Tiger King has its own thread

Yea but this is funny and needs more view. lol

i had flashbacks to when product placement in movies started becoming a thing. anyone have any reese's pieces?

smells like a netflix x fox colab

makes sense, the fox audience = tiger king kin

Right now I'm felling any Prez should get a "1 time" where they can send the secret service to off someone. Trump shoulda used that there lol.

I've been enjoying Designated Survivor. Good popcorn tv imo.

There was too much mental disconnect for me to even give designated survivor a real chance.

The whole situation just screamed 24...but keifer's character is no Jack Bauer, so it was very confusing, waiting for him to take on the bauer role, but then not being that at all.

made it weird. downside of being so well recognized for a role, hard to see him as something else, especially within the same sort of genre.

So what's this all about? I saw some commercials during Better Call Saul or Brockmire or something, it looked interesting.

Speaking of, anybody watch Brockmire? Amanda Peet so good as off-the-rails Jules.

I think I missed the start of this season,. I first rediscovered when Jules had the incident with her on-field entertainment at the Phillies game.

Killing Eve is great, 1st 2 seasons are on Hulu now. Season 3 on AMC starting Sunday.

Man, I forgot how amazingly bad the 2nd half of season 3 of Community is. It fell of a cliff.

I never got into 24 so that wasn't an issue for me.

I agree, lots of ridiculousness but Kiefer pwns and the ride is fun imo.

The young hot girl is a sadistic contract assassin, the older lady with the crazy hair works for british intelligence MI5 trying to catch her. Good show

Since I have Hulu now, I wanted to re-watch the 1st 2 season before the season 3 premiere Sunday since I have only seen everything 1 time thru. Watched Season 1 yesterday and I like it possibly even more on the re-watch.

Amazon Prime The Capture
4 episodes in really good from the BBC

Devs still delivering

Operation Odessa was batshit insane!

There have never been balls as big as those on Tarzan, Juan, and Tony.

This needed to be, like, ten episodes long, not just one movie

i disagree. i thought it was really good after i had watched one or two episodes. but then it jumped the shark, got ridiculous.

the lead girl is smoking hot though, jfc


she was also in the cormoran strike series, a much better detective series than the capture
