I've never really been a pirates of the carribean fan, but I think I watched all of the others so I might as well...
I went in with low expectations, but it wasn't half bad. However, I can see why people wouldn't like it if they were expecting a more fantastical world, and there were parts that were too relevant to modern-day issues, so that would also result in breaking the viewer's immersion. I wouldn't compare it to Shadowrun like some people have, but it kind of reminded me of The Fifth Element a little bit. Not that I liked it as much as The Fifth Element, but there were some good parts in the film. I'll probably watch the next one.Got around to watching Bright. I really enjoyed it. I like the world they're building there. An interesting take on a fantasy/modern mash up. Definitely hoping for a sequel. Will Smith seemed at his best tbh.
I found it somewhat lazy in the modern-day issues. It just replaced token minority with token fantasy creature and calls it a day. Instead of a clever commentary on race relations, it was barely a commentary and certainly not a clever one. It really fell flat on that front, especially when compared to some classic and recent fantasy works that do a way better job at clever commentary on contemporary society.I went in with low expectations, but it wasn't half bad.

Oh yeah, I agree. Personally, I hope they drop it next time if they're just going to play it lazy and safe, and just go deeper with the fantasy part of the lore. There's potential to make this world interesting, so I hope they don't waste it.I found it somewhat lazy in the modern-day issues.

Been watching Black Mirror to see what all the fuss is about. I'm up to the end of s2 now and White Bear has been far away my favorite episode. Chef recommends.
I've also been going through Toast of London, The Good Place, and Broadchurch s2 and enjoying them all.
Tom Segura's stand up wasn't his best.
I also finished Mindhunter S1 -- can someone explain the final scene to me?Was the dude burning the photos just a new serial killer that Holden will presumably target in S2?

I was binging stand up and his was the only one I didn't like and didn't finish and Netflix kept suggesting it anyway.
I've had my eye on this for a while, but I didn't realize it was only half a film. I guess I'll go hunt down Shin Godzilla to watch.
I gave it a go, and I would only recommend it to people going through monster movie/Godzilla withdrawal. It's pretty much a vendetta story with humans trying to take back Earth after they abandoned it, but it's nothing groundbreaking and kind of cringey at times. The animation is also kind of inconsistent.
oh the trailer for The Open House was good, need to check it out
