I knew you were a hoopleheaded cocksucker person. They're making a Deadwood movie to wrap it up. Ozark is fabulous by the way
Walter Hill, the director and consulting producer who helped start Deadwood. Also is responsible for producing the Aliens franchise, creating buddy cop movies in 48 hours, and maybe the ultimate "gang film" of all time, in The Warriors. I sometimes think he deserves a special award when all the fans at the Chase Center shout "Warriors.... Come out to play!" He literally went from working as a roustabout in the California oil fields, to studying art in Mexico to defining genre film in Hollywood for 20 or 30 years. They don't make them like that anymore.
When Turner gets to the playoffs, I hope he can handle a pass, dribble when appropriate and seem like he's in control. There is Turner early mid and end season and then we have choking Evan in the playoffs.
Who started a Netflix thread on the main page? Man this place has gone downhill the last couple of years.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that, in two games, Meyers actually looks like an actual basketball player. He's even played mostly effective defense, and is boxing out on rebounds. Edit: Oh, I see the OP is "Most Positive"; not "Most Surprising"
That's kind of always been my thing, wait until something has proven good long term before investing my time in it (I'm talking TV programs, not online forums). Did that with Breaking Bad, Mad Men and Game of Thrones. I've been burned by shows that looked promising and either got canceled prematurely (Firefly, Wonderfalls) or that started great and couldn't sustain it (Boardwalk Empire). Problem is, even with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime all producing original content, I'm just not seeing the quality we used to see Sunday nights on premium cable. Five or six years ago, there were so many great programs on Sunday night, I couldn't watch them all. I'd watch some real time on Sunday, DVR the rest and spend the next couple nights getting caught up. Sunday night has always been my laundry/TV night. I multitask. Throw in a load of laundry and turn on the TV. Now, there isn't shit on on Sunday. No Mad Men, No Breaking Bad, No Game of Thrones, no Boardwalk Empire (the 1st season was great), no Masters of Sex (again the first season was great). What did I watch last night - I rewatched the Blazers vs. Spurs game from Saturday. That's what Sunday's have become, rewatching a game I've already seen and know the outcome. I will admit, I really like Ozark, but am all caught up. Others that look promising after one season are The Alienist and Mindhunter, but it will be a while before season 2 is out for either. BNM
That is a positive - surprisingly positive. Meyers seems best in small doses. Throw him out there for a few minutes to give guys some rest, let him do a couple positive things and get him off the floor before the opponent can exploit his weaknesses. Seriously, he's playing well, and making good decisions (those 4 assists for 3-pointers against LAL were awesome). What's most surprising is he has more dunks than 3-pointers and his only 3-point play was an and-1. BNM
For what it's worth [nothing], I thought Hill House was utter crap. It falls somewhere between After School Special and Daytime Soap Opera on all fronts (writing, acting, directing, production value). On the topic of horror, I was pleasantly surprised by the new Halloween.
I'd wait on that one if you have others to fill the time. I really like it but I wish there were more. Would be cool if it goes 6 or 7 seasons.
Is this the BBC America Doctor Who thread or do I need to use the "Around the NBA" thread for that? (asking for the wife of a friend)
It really is, and from what I've read, season 2 should be even better. "We also know that as well as Charles Manson, John E. Douglas also spoke to John Wayne Gacy, and 'Son of Sam' David Berkowitz during his time as an FBI agent, so there's a good chance we'll be seeing these guys in season 2 as well." I'm old enough to remember all three of those, three of the most notorious murderers in US history. I grew up near Chicago and they started pulling bodies out of Gacy's crawl space right before Christmas my senior year of high school. It dominated the local news that entire holiday season. Unfortunately (for the victims and their families), they have a lot of compelling material to work with between those three. My brother-in-law was a homicide detective who attended the FBI academy back in the 1970s. He died of lung cancer three years ago, but the Bill Tench character reminds me of him very much, in physical appearance, mannerisms, and especially attitude. I wish my brother-in-law was still alive to watch this show. He hated most cop shows, found them totally unrealistic (mostly with how quickly and easily they solve most crimes), but I think he'd have liked this show. BNM
