Entertainment, social & political commentary from an opinionated GenXer.
I'm not in the entertainment industry and never have been. I have no inside scoop and won't pretend to. Like most of you, I'm simply a fan of things and am passionate about them. Think of me as your buddy who watches a lot of movies & TV and usually knows what's good. I also tend to talk in movie and TV show quotes, which is both fun and annoying to the people around me.
If you enjoy what you find here, consider Subscribing, Liking and Commenting and hitting the Bell thingy or whatever. From what I understand , it helps the RUclips algorithm or something. I have no clue really.

It's always unfortunate when you see a piece of media that is one thing but the advertising for it was another. Think back to the HORRIFIC Nickelback Batman Begins TV spot! ruclips.net/video/GUS7D4cs56M/видео.html Silent Night is a really great, heart breaking, interesting movie that is being marketed as something close to John Wick or Die Hard, and it's not. That's not a bad thing in this case...

From South Park nuking them from orbit, to Gina Carano piling n, to pushing back Snow White an entire year, to the absolute desperation movie of talking about bringing back Robert Downey, Jr.'s Iron Man and Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow to try and save the floundering MCU.

John Woo is back and he's bringing lots of guns! Ran across this trailer for a new movie coming out December 1, so I thought I'd bring it to your attentions in case you hadn't yet seen it. Looks interesting...sort of a cross between The Punisher, John Wick, SISU, etc. Carol Of The Bells by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/...

The tricky business of recasting an icon.
Amen
I turned the new season off when raylan banged the fat uggo. Clearly woke garbage
Looking at the channel's name, I can't tell if this is supposed to be a parody of an out-of-touch conservative. I was hoping for an actual review. Instead I got complaints about how the woke liberal mob is ruining everything in 2023. Yawn.
They tripled down on blasphemous allusions to Christ throughout. Big fail there. It was a big, dumb, fun, fan-service extravaganza though.
*SPOILERS* As a comic book nerd, my biggest fault with D&W was that they set this (main) version of Wolverine up as "the worst Wolverine" because he was off getting drunk while the X-Men were attacked by humans (okay?), yet they actually show Old Man Logan as one of the variants. Old Man Logan LITERALLY SLAUGHTERED the X-Men with his own hands (claws), after being manipulated by Mysterio. But that Henry Cavill Wolverine was the Wolverine we deserve!
There's a lot of clever meta-commentary, and some poignant and surprisingly moving story beats for both Wade and Logan. It's a far deeper movie than folks give it credit for being, but at the end of the day it's still Deadpool. Whether or not you like it is going to depend on whether or not you liked the first two. Anyway, great review, brother. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
the albanian guys were the best part of the entire miniseries.
So over the last 6 months I've watched the entire Justified series for the first time and i enjoyed it. It had a little to much filler at times but it's still a good series. I just finished prime evil and boy what a terrible show that was. Raylan just isn't even himself or any of the other Marshalls you've seen in the previous series. Even him quitting at the end make zero sense. They should've started the show where the final episode ended and just had him already retired and come out of retirement. Plus no baby voice daughter 😂
Wilder's house number....666... says..yes boss..
Total agreement…just going to wipe it from my memory . I could not make it past 3 episodes. Biggest regret was buying the series outright. Wish there were refunds.
I guess Halle Barry wasn’t available lol…..more like Holly S*** 🤢
Every show eventually goes woke. They can’t help it. They’re stupid. It takes so much energy and luck to make a show successful but virtually nothing to make it go bad. Winona and Raylan getting to the end of the rainbow would have been a nice way to end it but that’s not woke enough. Everyone dies. Just ask Biden.
Justified was always woke they just didn't ostentatiously ram it down our throats with a shiteatinggrin the way shows do now. Despite that I love the show and watched it as it aired, and own all seasons on bluray.

DEI ruins everything……
They made Raylan into this washed out bland character. Nothing like the previous series. He had no powerful attitude,or his signature cockiness. I watched the last quarter of the finale just to see Boyd get free. It was worth the time spent on that last episode just to see Boyd win the day. lol When I saw Caroline mt heart sank. I thought please,God,dont do it. But,..they did it. When he kissed her my stomach really did turn. A short fat black woman. Raylan's daughter saying he hadnt been with anyone for a long time,trying to get him to go chat her up was just nasty. The sad thing? I paid for the entire Primeval series on ebay. I bought the original series on ebay too but it wouldnt play for me. I bought it three times and no go. My PC has no problem with any other DVDs I've bought on ebay,but the Justified ones all are clickme as the format. I found out that it's a virus. I have protection that wouldnt allow it to play on my PC. So,..be careful.
I binged Justified from the first episode all the way to the last episode of primeval. Why lol Why did they work so hard to change the formula? There's not one episode that informs me on anyone's character, i didnt learn anything about anyone. The theme of Justice vs Order could have really been something, and in the original show was kind of a big question mark left at the end of each season, questioning the motives against the outcomes, for Raylan, Boyd, Ava, Art, Tim, Rachel, Vasquez... and holy crap, how did we go from such an awesome lineup of characters to a husk of a character, while people masquerade as cops around him. And another thing, the lawyer is such a weak interest for Raylan. Every love interest Raylan has had has challenged him, and made him grow, and its his need for growth that keeps him from finding the woman for him. Hes the perfect cowboy gunfighter, which necessitates his loneliness, until he gives up his ways or dies. The show could have started with him planning his retirment to finally be with Wynonna, but nahhhh. We will just hamfist him in with the flattest character ever written and say it works. I had Boyd's return spoiled for me. I thought for sure hed be a cliffhangar appearance, saving Raylan at the last second after being in over his head. But no, he inexplicably escapes prison, only choosing to after years of incarceration. 13 years, at that. Like, why?? I watched it, and im glad i have closure, but man do i wish that theyd just let it go. They didnt even really tie it in to the broader world written by the author, besides a cameo. Just weak, all around. Ugh.
The most unfortunate thing is that it's basically the same team from the later Justified seasons. one woman, Ingrid Escajeda, who was producer and writer and story executive for the first 3 seasons of Justified was only a consulting producer on the new miniseries. She may've actually been the driving voice of the better parts of Justified.
Darryl Crowe Jr was played very well! I don't agree there. Otherwise great vid :-)
Agree. I liked him. Other than that I also agree fully.
I agree one h undred percent. They took City Primeval and shoved every agenda down the throats of anyone who watched it . Racism,diversity,homosexuality,everything. I wanted to like the show so bad because Raylan was in it but I just couldnt. As you say,Raylsn is a watered down version of himself. And there was no one to take the role of Art. Raylan only had that black woman who doesnt like him. I found him to be flat in this show. I didnt finish watching it all. I just went to the end of the finale to watch Boyd getting out of prison. That made me smile.
Disney is trying to change culture, they are not making entertainment anymore, they are just following instructions and chasing the ESG scores and incentives. The people making these shows and movies are just useful idiots being used to create content who's goal is to change/control people's behavior.
If you want to turn a money-printing machine into a money-burning machine - give it to Kathleen Kennedy 😂
I disagree this show amazing
That's cuz ur gay
@@KJVdude1135hahaha
I was lucky. I started with city primeval (mistaking it for the original show and very confused that there was only one Season) and found it… pretty okay. Solid. Now, then I got to see the actual show and in comparison it’s…. Pure trash. Still wanna see season 2 because…. Well… Boyd.
I was sort of interested until you had to bash Carolyn and insert the vomit meme. What is the purpose? I don't think there was good chemistry between them, but wow, what a stupid flex.
My stomach turned too.
That did seem unnecessary. I'm out, too.
it's ...Justified.
DEI consultants and sensitivity readers are failed creators begging for relevancy.
Justified just doesn’t work outside of a place like Harlan. Kentucky and its denizens and Raylan’s relationship with them is made it an interesting show. There’s already a thousand cop shows set in urban environments, this is such a generic “big city” vibe. The “modern audience” pandering also certainly doesn’t help.
I agree, even if they set it in Miami it wouldn't have worked. the northern california-filmed imitation of Kentucky worked well enough though.
This movie was about a Leprechaun that wanted his gold! I hope they make a prequel showing his orign
The short cop chewing his gum was just a poor impersonation of Josh Browlin in Saccario. Also, no man with Raylan's boudoir resume falls for Ving Rhames with a wig.
XD
I completely agree with everything you said...the new version is horrible for all the reasons you mentioned.
Ishiro Honda would be proud of what his creation has accomplished.
100 percent on point Brother!!!
The only thing good about City primeval was the final scene of the final Series where there's a glimmer of hope that Boyd Crowder is coming back
Talk about suspension of belief! To think that Givens would bed that black chick! (Not a racist comment and I don't care if you think it is, what there are no HOT back chicks in hollyweird?!). Seriously, and then start talking about emotions?!!! The entire season was a disappointment. Watching Givens wash that sweaty cow's back made ME want to take a shower!!!! Looks like they attempted to pussify Givens and do a woke deal. I could go on but, I won't.
you needa take a good hard look in the mirror buddy
I’d have bought it if it had been Rachel Brooks from the og Justified.
If she was a beautiful black girl it might have gone down ok,but she isnt.
yes it was bending over backwards pandering. it's on the same level as having Kieran Culkan paired up with Michaela Coel. Look them up and you'll know what I mean.
There are too many streaming services now it's becoming the new cable. Just go for physical media 💿💿
Pure woke garbage. As others stated already, knew it was going to be woke garbage within the first 10 minutes.
The evil leftists strike again! Hide your guns!
ur plot ngl woulda been sooo good.
it was a fine show. different because the material adapted but good. miss a bit more of action that is all.
I can think, on another example, Mortal Kombat series, since MKX every female character has turn down her sexual appeal by a lot, but the male characters still go to death matches shirtless
Yessssssss! Just shut up and dribble the ball assholes!
Hard disagree, Yes the show is different to the original series, but Raylan is about a decade older canonically in the new series. People change in that much time quite significantly, some traits stick around while others leave forever, think about the type of person you were in 2014 and what you’ve changed since. If they had brought the exact same character back with no changes that would have been disappointing, you need growth. A lot of people got mad at the new series because they don’t like change, when for the most part he is just a character which has grown older and wiser
Peoople were mad not because of change but for two reasons. Raylan was a sipid washed out plain character that any decent actor could have played. Only Timothy Olyphant could play the original Raylan. Saucey,rough around the e dges,and not able to follow orders. lol Second,Raylan's ugly affair with Caroline. He had such a beautiful woman,an his other women were all hot. Then they do the diversity thing but did it with a short fat black woman. Deffinately NOT Raylan's type. And her being the one to call it off is laughable. Raylon is the hottest guy in the entire show and SHE doesnt want to go on?
bad take.
I got mad at the new series because they made Raylan boringly plain. Anyone could have played that Raylan and it wouldnt have mattered. The frst series made Raylan so unique and fun that it was as if it was written personally for Tim. And he did it up awesomely. Believe me,I tried to like the new one but it sits in my collection unfinished. Just another cop show with nothing to rivet me to it.
Throwing this out just to say, City Primeval was never Raylan's story; they had to put him into a story that he was never in so I think that too is why it felt unnatural and didn't fit
I just found out about the remake? Continuation? Was gonna binge it, cuz I love Justified. But thank you for sparing me from watching Raylan get the Indy treatment from South Park.
Dont bother yourself. If you're looking to see Raylan doing the things he did in the original series or even with his spicey attitude,..forget it. Not there.
Watched opening scene, fast forwarded through second episode and bailed when it was clear who was running the series. Returned for final 10 mins Episode 8 (incl Dwight Yoakam closing credits)
You missed Boyd escaping from Prison. It would have been awesome for a spinoff.
Star Wars is for girls now like Barbie is for girls. It’s a totally female brand now.
In the immortal words of young Luke Skywalker - "...there's nothing left for me here now."
What about Dickless in Ghostbusters?
Timothy character in the new series feels like written by female disney writers. Whatever they hoped to accomplish was really flawed by a stupid plot, really uninspired sub charaters and what is with the sex scenes, no hat, big smile, shirt off scenes. If they do it again, Raylen will probably come out as a tranny to the appreciative nods of shallow stupid and out touch writers. Sorry Timmy boy you have been outed.
I suspect that the movie companies will have to show some love to physical in the near future. Streaming isn't the infinite cash machine they thought it was. They need new revenue sources and physical is money on the table, even if the studios rely totally on the boutiques to handle distribution.
