The General Film and TV Discussion Thread

Well...to me Disney has destroyed Star Wars. There´s something fishy about the new movies that I just can´t stand. Even number 1, 2, and 3 were better than the rubbish they call number 7 and 8.

I have to catch up on the PotC movies, but yeah, hard to imagine w/o Depp as Sparrow.

And as for Marvel movies, it does suck that Guardians 3 got delayed since apart from Avengers 4 that's probably my most anticipated confirmed returning sub-franchise of the MCU: I've seen nothing on further solo Iron Man, Captain America or Thor movies which is pretty much the old guard of the MCU now and the first movies of Doctor Strange, Spider-man and Black Panther don't stand out for me as well as their acclaim implies they should (especially Black Panther). Guardians 1 & 2 are two of the most outright entertaining movies the MCU though, so yeah, definitely sucks that they delayed it. I am interested in Captain Marvel though as it's about time the MCU had a female hero with a solo film.

^I really liked the first half of the film (more drama than horror I think). Be prepared for a couple of gritty scenes.

Just found out that as well as Iron Fist Netflix has cancelled Luke Cage as well. Doesn't look hopefully for the rest of the MCU shows on there to be honest. A shame because Daredevil season 3 has been one of the best yet. 

I got 130, which is honestly more than I would have expected. I've watched barely any movies (or TV shows) in the past few years, because at this point, I'd rather play videogames than any other form on entertainment, because the whole interactive aspect draws me in far more than any non interactive story ever can. There's also quite a few cases where I've seen some movies in a series, but not everything.

^ Yeah I watch it. I think it's a pretty great show, especially with the way it continually re-invents itself. 

I had read that The Expanse season 3 was finally being released here today but the clock is ticking and still nothing, as usual. I see that Prime customers in the US have indeed got it today which I actually think is bullshit as the US has had the series on its original channel months ago. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is still waiting and have even had access to the first two seasons taken away from us. 

I really hope you're wrong about that. I'm a paying Prime customer, I should be able to watch a series Amazon now owns, regardless of what country I'm in. Regardless the November 2019 DVD release date is definitely an insult to UK fans of the series. I wouldn't object to buying the series on DVD (but it really should be on Prime too by now) but imposing another whole year of waiting? I don't want to pirate, one because I'm not a thief and two because I think the quality will be shitty, but I also won't wait that long.
