My friend watched like eight episodes of this show thinking that was Ross from Friends. 

Does your friend wear really thick glasses?     

No but he probably should. 

This thing put me to sleep about 10 minutes into the first episode.

Re Squid Game — are you all watching with the dubbing or subtitles?

 I’m partway through the first episode and the guy is annoying as fuckall. And the dubbing makes me feel like I’m watching “What’s Up, Tiger Lily?”.

I did subtitles. Dubbing rarely is good except once in awhile. Only one I can think of that was good was Akira.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try if/when I venture back to it.

I think the dubbing is fine.  It actually felt a lot more heavy in the first episode, but after awhile, I barely notice it.  I actually kind of like it.

I’m only on the second episode of Squid Game, I doubt I’ll bother with the rest of it. The general concept is ok, but the acting is awful.

I have read, the Korean people who have see this, they said the translation is bad..

Just started Hollywood.  Jim Parsons is in it so wanted to check it out.

I have been googling to see what is true and what isn't.  If half of the sex thing that goes on is true then Epstein and Weinstein were just going along with the status quo...

My wife started watching Maid a couple of days ago. She seems pretty into it.

I tried watching that. Great sets but just couldn’t get into it.

Yeah, I imagine many of those “starmakers” and their ilk did (and still do) that shit. Scumbags.

The new Jake Gyllenhaal movie was hard to get through. Boring in my opinion.  The budget had to have been amazingly cheap because it mostly takes place in one room.

I'm kind of surprised he liked the script enough though.

The Guilty (2021) with Jake Gyllenhal. meh.

I did. it's funny, regarding the twist....I sort of called it without knowing I called it when he was on the phone with her. Sorry for being so vague, I don't know how to say it without spoiling it for others.

You should see the original. I think it's a Dutch film? Maybe Swedish? I tried to watch that last year, I couldn't take more than 20 minutes of it - it was soooo sloooowwww. Like, even just the pauses between sentences spoken felt like a week long, haha. They really sped things up for this remake, lol. It was watchable at least.

interesting. what I read was the original was actually way better. rotten tomatoes has it at 97%. metacritic 83%. yes, it's danish.

Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission to Space is very good! It really IS inspiring, as well as super entertaining, fascinating, touching, emotional... it's got it all in a limited series doc!

Pretty effective soundtrack too.

The final episode of squid game ruined the entire series for me. It made me regret watching the show. Also found it too predictable.

I liked Alice in borderland much better
