Can the black man truly appreciate Television & Film?
As a black man of color I quite honestly will give a movie about 5 mins before I decide if the production is diverse enough for me to keep watching before I either turn off the flick or go for another pick.
OP is a filthy white fuck but as a real black man of color I unironically agree 100%
Last time I saw a black guy watching TV it was Cops and he was literally taking notes with a sketchpad

George, what are you doing in this little square??
Netflix original programming is overwhelmingly mediocre and is only popular because the binge watching model encourages mindless consumption. Netflix viewers don't stop to think how utterly insane it is that the Vice President just pushed a girl in front of a train because they're already on to the next episode.
Recipe for a Netflix show to be lauded as great
>a hook to initially attract viewers (famous lead, interesting premise, or big budget etc)
>make the show watchable, not great or even good, but just watchable
>make all the episodes available at once for morons to binge on
Prove me wrong
You're framing good things as bad things so I don't think there's really anything anyone can counter with other than fuck off
I agree. They haven't had a great one yet, there's no "Sopranos" or "Mad Men" to give them an anchor. "Narcos" is the closest they've come, pretty good, but not really anything new or original
Binge watching is great. Netflix shows however, aren't.
ITT: upcoming movies you're looking forward to
Sounds fucking epic
So now there has to be female versions of things that aren't even specifically male to begin with?
>Female got
So like every character is a women?
Holy shit that would be hot as fuck.
Tell stories about Val Kilmer or other difficult actors.
>Billy actor Sonny Landham proved to be a difficult person to work with on the set of Predator, often flying into angry tantrums and becoming physically violent. As a result, bodyguards were eventually hired on the set, not to protect Landham from other people, but to protect other people from him

I was in a school play but I didn't wanna be in it. So I was kinda hard to work with.

How much better would Omar have been as a character if they hadn't shoehorned in his homosexuality?
>>62919987
It would have been 100x better if he was impregnating white women on the show, I agree.
>>62920026
Damn I just noticed that there are literally no how white women on The Wire.

What will be the next big movie after TFA to fail to beat Avatar at the box office?
Episode 8
Avatar 2
It has a real chance to beat Avatar domestically, it has a projected 225 millon OW which is completely ridiculous for December, if it's good it can do it
ITT: annoying PC comedians

/thread. What makes him so fucking annoying amongst the myriad of other reasons is that his target audience think he somehow non-PC.

B-but current year man is so mean to people who aren't pc, and being mean isn't pc!
What went wrong?
TomorrowLand
Movie tried to sell too many emotional points without properly investing time to make me care
Christ knows but I hope Kosinski gets more work, Oblivion was criminally underrated.

Anyone ever watch this show?
Just found it and have been binge watching it for the last 2-3 days.
I love it. Show is very hypnotic and really captures the reality of life for certain people in a way that I have never seen before.
The son character really hits me in the feels also since I am a mid 20's utterly directionless NEET with little motivation, self esteem or ability to hold a job/activity.
Also reminds me of a more grownup version of Home Movies in a way.
it's incredibly jewish
>>62919433
I discovered that show around the exact same time last year. Uncanny. Anyway it's a great show. Really chuckleworthy comedy. On rewatches I skip past most of the therapy sessions though; The show was best with Katz and Ben and their banter. Favorite episodes: Thanksgiving (probably the best one),Walkathon, Ticket, Ben's Partay, and Metaphors.
I think it got better as it went on.
>>62919492
Well yeah I guess but that doesn't bother me.
>It's a World War I movie

We have too few of those desu...
What's there tends to be good.
Just realised how much Tik-Tok from Return to Oz looks like a WW1 Tommy.
Generation Kill thread?
Just finished it, having been a big fan of The Wire and Show Me a Hero, and was really impressed. Wondering what you make of it, how it's received here.
It was really effective at maintaining a pretty vast cast, like The Wire, and showing how they connected or interacted. Great, seemingly natural camaraderie between the troops, as well as angst in the commanding officer/underling dynamics.
Terrifying at times. Just the absurdity of war, and how ineptly it was handled. How desensitized these poor young men are and the atrocities they're made to commit. This isn't a political observation, as the past fifteen years have shown the invasion to be a poorly handled mistake.
Despite barely standing him in The Wire, I liked Ziggy/Ray. He was funny and seemed like a real bro, the comic relief of a friend. I wasn't familiar with Skarsgard before this, but I think he was miscast. His accent was all over the place, his speech didnt vibe with his expressions and he came off as an awkward cypher of a person. Nate Fick was good, perfectly cast and endearing. Captain America as well, perfectly bananas. Sixta was funny. Trombley reminded me of edgy psychopath posters here.
Impressive feat on a tv budget too. That fifth episode was extraordinary, really intense.
Godfather's final words to Rolling Stone helped contribute to the poignant ending. The video too, obviously and the mixed emotions and confusion with which the men viewed it.
Was surprised to glean that it's based on actual Rolling Stone reporting, which I look forward to reading.
Also wondering how our /k/ bros and veterans liked it, or how accurate the munitions and logistics were.
>>62919235
was it just me or was godfather kind of a piece of shit? no better than that wade fuck who almost blew everyone up
>>62919375
I struggled with that. He seemed deaf to the shifting situation and willing to ignore the facts in pursuit of this glory by potentially jeopardizing his men. Yet again, his final exchange with Rolling Stone put it in perspective. He very honestly told him that he realized how serious it was for him to send his men into harms way. But that is the job. Just like the rest of them, he had his orders. He didnt reign in Captain America's crazy ass, but then again, he didnt act on the complaints about Nate either. That balance, as unfair as it seems at time, was potentially crucial in maintaining the respect of his subordinates, keeping their morale up, etc. There was a method after all. I really liked how he was made a little more nuanced by the end.

I want angry Doctor, give me another fucking time war.
No but really, I hope Me gets her comeuppance in some way, even if not from the Doctor himself.
1st for Heaven Sent will be a literal 10/10
Looks like Clara wasn't worthy of the challenge.
