Sam's Thread of Movie Lists and Chit Chat (w/Jake)

[xfearbefore]

My people <3

You fellas see the new Sicario? Well, did you see the first one? Let's discuss Mexican drug wars!

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

Do you watch Narcos on Netflix ? Fucking tremendous. The third season is criminally underrated.

[Y 2 Jake]

Sicario 2 is very much Sicario with more of Del Toro and Brolin.

Narcos, the best show I've ever watched that I could never be bothered to watch more of.

[Uncle Sam]

Sam, I don't know if it's been released internationally but if it has you should check out Sorry To Bother You. Weeeeeird movie, but fantastic, a real scathing letter to capitalism.

Looks like it's only on limited release in the US, and perhaps Canada, so... I'll let you know what I think of it by early 2022. I'll tell you what's a real scathing letter to capitalism: the price of popcorn at the movies! Am I right?

Do you watch Narcos on Netflix ? Fucking tremendous. The third season is criminally underrated.

My brother watches Narcos - and, I'm pretty sure, mispronounces the title - and gushes all over it, but this is the guy that thought Jurassic World 2 was alright, so I took it with a pinch of salt.

Sicario 2 is very much Sicario with more of Del Toro and Brolin.

The trailers looked very much tuned to the Sky Sports crowd so I find this easy to believe.

I watche Sicario 2 (its not called that in Dubai) without realising there even was a Sicario 1.

[JGlass]

I realized that the first Sicario was trash when they blamed drug users for the violence perpetrated by the cartels.

[TheManTheyCalledNorCal]

The third season of Narcos is basically "The Departed" but even more intense and featuring the gorgeous scenery of Columbia.

The first two seasons are about the rise of and hunt for Escobar, which is pretty endlessly interesting

[Fallout]

Del Toro was the best thing about the original Sicario. Other than him, egads it was a snore.

I fucking love Narcos. That show holds a special place in my heart for supplying me tremendous historical entertainment at a shitty time in my life, and I cannot wait to see where the show goes next season even if we're all missing Wagner Moura still.

And I gotta disagree about the original Sicario. I thought it was fantastic. The score alone was bone-chilling. There were slow and weak moments but by god they made you understand the brutality of the drug war in Mexico and the intensity of the situations.

So have any of you seen the new Halloween trailer? If so what are your thoughts? Looks like they're doing away with all other sequels and this will be the direct follow up to the original.
