I just finished watching Wicked on the pirate ship. It was a nice musical, not sure how they are going to top the first part of the movie in the second film. But I will be waiting for its release this year ( I think? )

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Just watched Reservoir Dogs. Man, what a trip. Incredible acting and phenomenal camera work for such long, intense scenes.
One of my favourite films and a definite masterpiece of cinema.
After having recently finished the book, I watched American Psycho this week. It's a fantastic and hilarious film and doesn't stray too far from the book. Christian Bale is phenomenal in it and the social commentary feels almost as relevant today as it did for the late 80s when it was set.
I have yet to watch it, but I have the drive to eventually get around to watching the new Wallace & Gromit film. I have it available to watch whenever I want on my desktop but have yet to get around to it.
Otherwise, I did start watching s1 of The New Batman Adventures, despite only being somewhere maybe either towards the end of s1 or very early s2 of BTAS. Not that any of that matters since I probably ain't missing anything major. Only complaint I have with it is a very minor "I don't like how Bruce Wayne's eyes are blue now instead of black".
I've just started watching ghosts! I got the recommendation here and I'm really enjoying it. I also finished s3 of mythic quest which I bloody love.
After finishing all the Dexter seasons, I tried three episodes of SweetPea. It as not for me. Then tried 3 episodes of Madmen, same issue. Felt as if it wasn’t for me.
Now watched the first episodes of The day of the Jackal and that seems to be my thing.
In the last week or so, I have finished all of the currently available episodes of School Spirits, Handmaid's Tale, and Severance. Gonna have to find some new shows (at least until Handmaid's Tale starts up in April)
I loved the first few seasons of HMT! It lost me in season 4 though, it bored me to tears.
That's too bad! I've really enjoyed the direction the show has gone, but can also understand why a person might not. Season 6 (starting in April) will be the last, and I'm very excited to see how it ends
Yep the show totally lost me when June
spoilers tag
returned home. Plus I was all about Nune so I'm gutted that's overWithout giving much away...
Tap for spoiler
Nune is not "over", and there are some great story moments for June, Serena, and FredOoooh if that's the case I'll give the next season a go
Been watching Defiance, BBC’s Les Mis show, Paradise, and that cartoon about the lifesaving mushroom
Literally nothing. Still have tomorrow to watch something tho. This might be the first week in more than 5 years that I haven't watched anything aha
Reason being that I'm used to watching it with my wife and she's out of the country since last Sunday
Right now I am watching bros(https://letterboxd.com/film/bros/) and its a chore to get through.Its half about modern queer culture and half gay romcon
Right of the bat, its loud and obnoxious and has south park style of "comedy" where it hits you over the head with the joke until you get it.There is a scene around where i am at the moment, where i thought for a sec it was gonna be a little subtle about it until the next shot and that's when know there isn't a subtle bone in this film. It also tries to cram in every possible thing said in relation to LGBTQ+ under the sun by which i mean the writers' twitter feed and has very little if anything to say about any of it. Its also one step way from adding a laugh track,characters react in that uncanny way that characters react in sitcoms react when the main cast say something offensive/outrages or off-putting. The main character feels like a pessimistic/angry Christmas hating atheist plunged out of one of those Christian Christmas movies.
I usually don't watch much TV series and YouTube, but since I broke my arm on Friday, me and my partner has been watching weird and disturbing anime serieses.
-
Serial Experiments Lain: disturbing ominous mysterious. It has gotten quite the reputation on media over the years.
-
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: weird, funny and exaggerated. Imagine Powerpuff girls, but Japanese edition + tons of sex humor.
-
Solo leveling season 2: Oh, and I can't forget about solo leveling season 2. Super exaggerated action combat, highly recommend to anyone non-anime watchers or alike.
@Servais@discuss.tchncs.de the second link in your post template should be to !Television@lemm.ee , as showsandmovies has moved there.
Well spotted, I'll update this for next week!
I'm watching Superstore. Into the second season and still waiting for it to grab me.
- Severance, s02
- White Lotus, s03
- Mythic Quest, s04
- Abbott Elementary, s04
Is mythic quest worth watching? Im one season in and it didn't really grab me.
don't watch it if you don't like it, it's a dumb show but I watch it because I love the Poppy character and her awkward screaming, lol
I would say s03 and s04 are just going off the rails, but there is too much keeping me on-board, like Danny Pudi being a pure delight.
EDIT: thinking about it more, s02e06, "Backstory!", actually won a cinematography award, and it was a notably good episode. It's a standalone episode, so you don't need context from the rest of the season to watch it.
Blondie in China - an Australian food vlogger in China. Boy do I crave some Chinese spicy food now.
Moana 2
We've been watching YuYu Hakusho this week. Once we're done with that, it'll be either Ronin Warriors or Cowboy Bebop.
