01.19.19 | Finished it last night, day of release. I am a God. |
Rowhaus
01.19.19 | I love the Punisher, but I was not a fan of the first season. I look forward to seeing this. Sad news :'{ |
Casavir
01.19.19 | This look like the work of a dead TV show to you? |
DarkSideOfLucca
01.19.19 | @Row - I liked season 1, but I REALLY didn't need another fucking origin story after DD season 2 so I feel you. Thankfully, this is more of Frank killing criminals unrelated to that, so it was pretty awesome.
@Cas - What do you mean? Do I think they're going to cancel it? Hell yeah, within a week probably. But I thoroughly enjoyed it. |
SitarHero
01.19.19 | @Casavir - The Netflix Marvel show cancellations have nothing to do with quality and/or ratings. It's all fucking Disney politics. |
Casavir
01.19.19 | I was referencing season one but yeah, I'm pretty sad about the cancellation. |

01.19.19 | Next time I see that bastard Mickey Mouse, I'm getting my revenge for Frank Castle. |

01.19.19 | Damn Netflix is cleaning house. Shame cus out of all those trash Marvel Netflix shows The Pumisher was the only one I could rock with. Haven't seen the 2nd season yet. |

01.19.19 | I’m a massive punisher fan but the Netflix take on him is an absolute abomination. Can’t say I’m not glad tbh |

Thomas Jane will always be the true Punisher. |

01.19.19 | 2004 movie is so underrated |
artiswar
01.19.19 | Just realized Daredevil is canceled... that sucks. |
Source
01.19.19 | Daredevil movie is also underrated, at least the director's cut |
artiswar
01.19.19 | that movie was dated in 2003 |
Source
01.19.19 | Have you seen the director's cut though? It's way better |
CaliggyJack
01.19.19 | The Daredevil movie (Director's Cut) is absolutely underrated as fuck. Michael Clarke Duncan was a crazy good Kingpin. |
artiswar
01.19.19 | No, but I can't imagine how anything could salvage that movie unless the studio literally mandated that they cut out all the good scenes. |
DarkSideOfLucca
01.19.19 | Ehhhh I dunno. I think the Daredevil movie is cheesy as fuck. With that Rob Zombie soundtrack, horrible acting from Ben (who is pretty good now), terrible acting from Colin Ferrell (who is also really good now), cheesy early 2000s bullshit throughout. Not for me. The Director's Cut was marginally better I guess, but it didn't erase like anything that was wrong with the original imo
2004 Punisher has its moments, but that's also way too goofy for my liking, personally. |
artiswar
01.19.19 | 2004 Punisher would have been better if Thomas Jane rode a CGI shark |
SitarHero
01.19.19 | Deepest Bluest my hat is like a shark's fin |
artiswar
01.19.19 | Best motherfucking movie in the motherfucking world. The long-awaited sequel last year was a sloppy abortion tho |
Source
01.19.19 | I watched deep blue sea recently and realized how terribly it's aged lol |
Rowhaus
01.19.19 | I like to pretend Deep Blue Sea is a Punisher prequel |
artiswar
01.19.19 | you mean that's not canon? |
SitarHero
01.19.19 | Deep Blue Sea is firmly entrenched in my list of movies I absolutely will rewatch every time I randomly come across it. It's not good, but it's good enough. THAT Sam Jackson scene has not aged well though. Just goes to show how far CGI has come in the past 20 years. |
artiswar
01.19.19 | that scene where that chick strips in order to electrocute the shark... pretty sure that was the moment I first discovered wanking |
SitarHero
01.19.19 | That's Saffron Burrows you mug! I had a crush on her for about 5 seconds when she was in this and the Wing Commander movie (which was beyond awful), but then she disappeared off the face of the planet. Probs still fighting the Kilrathi somewhere. |
artiswar
01.19.19 | I love that she just gets chomped in half unceremoniously at the end and it's just Thomas Jane and LL Cool J left. Such a bro movie. |
SitarHero
01.20.19 | Ha! Yeah, as silly as the movie is it has some genuinely good moments. Even the bit at the end where LL Cool J is like "Are you SURE there were only 3 sharks?" is literally the way I feel after any of these movies. xD |
Source
01.20.19 | You guys should watch the Meg. It's amazing |
SitarHero
01.20.19 | Do you really we would love Deep Blue Sea this much and NOT go see Meg? You trippin' dawg.
TBH the movie wasn't batshit enough. |
artiswar
01.20.19 | The Meg was lame, it was spectacle not horror. The best shark movies were The Reef, The Shallows, 47 Metres Down, and Open Water. And as lame as the CGI in Deep Blue Sea is now, the actual prosthetic shark looked menacing af. |
Source
01.20.19 | I mean it's a Jason Statham movie. Horror would be out of place |
SitarHero
01.20.19 | Deep Blue Sea was hardly a horror movie though. It was a suspenseful action movie with sharks. More Aliens than Alien. Meg was the same, which I'm fine with, except there wasn't enough suspense. |
Source
01.20.19 | Have you ever seen Deep Rising? |
SitarHero
01.20.19 | Oh heck yes! :D Now THAT is a cult classic. |
artiswar
01.20.19 | Deep Blue Sea is ultra campy but there's definitely a few scary moments if you have a shark phobia like me. The Meg just did nothing for me, then again I'm not the target audience. It'd be like me complaining about a Transformers movie. |
Source
01.20.19 | I am exactly the Meg's target audience. I love over the top action movies involving creatures |
SitarHero
01.20.19 | Me too. I've seen every Anaconda movie and I'm not ashamed to admit it. |
Source
01.20.19 | Do prefer Alien or Aliens? Aliens is my all time fav movie |
artiswar
01.20.19 | I love them too, but only when they're bad puppets or composites. The Meg had a far too large budget. |
SitarHero
01.20.19 | Definitely Aliens. Almost every single one of my actual nightmares as a child involved me playing something like the part of Newt hiding from a horde of monsters (that were usually giant spiders).
This continued until high school and the night before my board exams (the equivalent of the A-Levels) where I had a nightmare about being on a lunar base fighting off a horde of lunar werewolves that all had the face of my high school principal. For the first time in one of these dreams I actually fought back and won. Woke up, completely free of stress, aced my exams, and never had monster dreams again. xD |
Source
01.20.19 | Haha nice. You're the only person I've encountered on this site who also likes Aliens more |
SitarHero
01.20.19 | Ha! I'm sure there's others. They're both hard 5's. |
DarkSideOfLucca
01.20.19 | Aliens is pretty close, man. I personally prefer Alien but Aliens is like still in my top 10 movies probably. |
DrGonzo1937
01.20.19 | "Thomas Jane will always be the true Punisher."
Yeah, it's so unfortunate he was given a film with a bad vision. His "Dirty Laundry" short is fantastic. Had he been given a film to work with that does the character justice he'd have nailed it.
This show irks the hell out of me though; it gets even the fundamental basics of the character wrong. I think the only thing I liked out of the first season was his relationship with Micro. I know he's not the easiest character to translate to the medium, but when it's this wrong... I've just started Season 2 and the babysitting arc, along with chatting up barmaids, has proven the writers know fuck all about the character. |
neekafat
02.07.19 | ngl this season is pretty not good |
SitarHero
02.07.19 | Yeah, I'm bored af. Haven't been able to get through 4 episodes yet... |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.07.19 | I actually enjoyed the season while I was watching it, but now that I stepped back...yeah it's not great and I'll probably never watch it again lol |
Rowan5215
02.07.19 | saw that there was no Micro and immediately decided to skip the season
I know I made the right choice because 90% of this thread is talking about shark movies |
SitarHero
02.07.19 | Speaking of which...DUDES! Tommy Wiseau is making a shark movie called Big Shark!!! |
Atari
02.10.19 | Season 2 started off strong but I’m halfway through and it’s not been as great
Loved the first season though. And Daredevil was insanely good |
DarkSideOfLucca
02.10.19 | Daredevil was infinitely better, yeah. I like the Punisher season 2 less and less every time I think about it, but I liked it while watching it. Damn shame.
Also fuck yeah for whatever Tommy does! |
