I just can't seem to get out of the rabbit hole.

Netflix:  Observe and Report.  A kind of comedy with Seth Rogen, Ray Liotta, Michael Pena, Anna Farris.  It's kind of trying to be a Paul Blart I think.  But it's just weird.  At times funny.  At times dark.  At times just stupid.  It's a bottom of the barrel, bored movie.

[Lou]

how on earth can a Ray Liotta comedy fail? 

[Blarg]

Well, first you cast Seth Rogan and write the story at his acting abilities.

avengers: end game

holy cow. they did it right.

Spoiler

one question: at the end, after iron man has vanquished everyone, there's a pack of chicks that show up, including his wife pepper. she also appeared to be in some kind of uniform. how? why? was she part of the story for captain marvel (which i haven't seen yet)?

but Liotta's exemplary comedic skills are more than enough to overcome it. 

it just doesn't add up 

[Lou]

is Avengers a cartoon? 

[Blarg]

Yes.

BTW.   You guys are welcome.

What a piece of shit looking movie. There is no way to make a quality movie out of that. Even the games lacked any real story.

It does remind me though of my birthday in 4th grade where I got Sonic 2, a couple Stussy shirts because this girl I crushed on named Nancy said I would be cute in them, and the compact disc of Wreckx-N-Effects "Hard or Smooth".

It's reasonable that they'd have a suit for her if needed. Didn't she suit up in Iron Man 3 already?

The way I remember it is iron man threw her a suit during iron man 2 or 3 and it put itself on.  At the beginning of end game he references her not using it when he tells the daughter “mom never wears anything I buy her”

Hopefully none of you guys went to the midnight showing of Avengers in Fullerton.

Anyone watching The Blacklist? 

We finally know who Raymond Reddington is. 

After all the speculation about who he might be I was somewhat letdown by the reveal after 130+ episodes.  Obviously we'll learn more about why he kept the charade going for ~30 years and I'm hoping that's more fitting for something they took this long to reveal.  I'm kind of hoping they end it after the 7th season but I know networks will gladly drag a show out if it's making money.

@Lou finished season 2 of Secret City. Did not disappoint. Wife and I enjoyed it.

On to Bosch

I was ok with it. not sure how much else they could have done. I hope it continues as it's nothing more than entertainment for me. I never expected a long, intricate reveal.

Netflix:  Secret City.  Damn the Australians are screwed up.  Was an enjoyable spy series.  I also like that they referenced Pine Gap, Netflix's other Aussie spy show.

[Redondo]

Started Bosch last night. Very good so far and they really picked a good actor to play the part.

I have read all of Michael Connelly's books except the Poet.

Thanks for recommending it everybody.

Alright, @failos, I started. I'm halfway through the first season. It seems like it is laying the groundwork for interesting stuff. I'll continue.
