OT - Movies thread

Just finished season three of Ozark last night. It got pretty intense.

Just finished Deadwood. You can tell by the way it ended that it wasn’t supposed to be the end of the series, just the end of that season. I don’t know the backstory, but I’m guessing it got canceled or there was some sort of contract disputes that prevented it from continuing.

I’m hoping I have time to watch the movie today so I can get better closure.

You are correct. Prematurely canceled, but I don't remember the reason. It is a great series...I think you'll enjoy the movie.

rome i remember they cancelled in good part due to the cost of production as well as i thought it started to drop a bit, but i felt deadwood was solid throughout it 3-year run

Rewatching The Sopranos, forgot about how funny it could be with all the malapropisms.

Still makes me want to slap the crap out of his son every time he’s in a scene...

Believe I read that it cost them something like $100-200 million dollars per season to produce that...called it the most expensive series ever at the time I think, if I remember correctly.

I thought I heard cost was the major reason, but it sounds more like greed

Chadwick Boseman, the star of Black Panther passed away today. Apparently he had colon cancer the last 3-4 years.

Terribly sad news. He was also really good in 42. Too damn young.

2020 really can scheiss the scheiss off.

The volume and quality of his performances since he was diagnosed in 2016 is impressive:

- Four Marvel films
- Marshall
- 21 Bridges
- Da 5 Bloods

Requiescat in pace.

Marshall was a great movie. He was really good.

I always have low expectations for sequels made 30+ years after the original.

My grandfather taught me that when I was young.

Name a movie where the sequel was better than the original. Don’t count super hero movies, single author serials like Harry Potter, James Bond, or Lord of the Rings. I’ll start.
Christmas Vacation was better than the original.

No way.

Godfather II, Superman II (trivia: who do those two films have in common?)
