Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

I already got Quarry on the to watch list.




Ohhh it's floating through time? Lmao damn. How did I not know this until 2017 :rollin
Its just the way he phrased it. Technically the earth is floating through time and space.

did i not get it right?

the forces of good and evil locked in an eternal battle that only man can make the ultimate sacrifice and decide the victor?
Half right.

The island is basically a prison for an evil entity. Darkness trapped within light.

The good vs. evil plays a part in how the evil plots and manipulates humans that the island attracts or protector brings there to kill the protector, snuff out the island's light so it can escape.

I like Sleight on the surface, from the previews, but the way the keep showing just the one scene, makes me think it's trash.

Might have to look for a full preview and see about it.

Bro...I don't want to give too much away with what happens on Quarry, but the final episode...more specifically about 12-15 minutes of it, is some of the most mind-blowing TV I've seen on HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, etc. I'm being vague as hell, but once you get through season 1, I'll be curious to know what you thought.

Will push it up the list.
 
Anyone wanna recap the 5 seasons of Lost in less than 300 words in a way that's easy for me to understand?
S1 and S2 were cool, then it started going downhill until it wasn't even worth a watch. I never even finished it. Took the same path as prison break, just a little longer to fall off.

It starts off as a survival story following a plane crash and actually does a pretty good job. The visuals and characters are pretty entertaining. You learn the personal stories and conflicts of each character through flashbacks and how it brought them to the island. You're eventually introduced to some supernatural content, which is where things get fuzzy, never really explained, and many times just silly. The acting worsens, you can tell the writing is super forced, and they just start throwing new characters at you that really have no place. Had it stuck to the theme of season 1, I thought it had the potential to be great. The supernatural *****, time traveling, monsters ruined it for me.
 
the acting does not get worse. imo the actors really grow into their roles and if anything, that's the main thing that improves as the seasons progress.

season 4 also brought us "the constant". the show is worth watching for that episode alone. what a great love story.
 
wait I never saw Lost.... did that really happen? time and space stuff? wasn't that other show that got cancelled flashforward or something was supposed to connect with Lost as well?
 
Lost sucks for how they did michael and walt :{
Eh, this is what happens on any show where they try to focus on a kid, emphasis on kid, and then he hits puberty. Write him out the story.

What they did to Walt was inexcusable. They took this do anything for your kid stuff too far. At that point in the island he didn't just kill strangers, he killed ppl, innocent ppl :{

S5 was good so I don't get why most ppl are reacting from a s6 standpoint or the whole show in general opinion.

Anyway, s5 deals with time travel so bear with me and I don't know if you watched the previous 4 seasons. You should be able to keep up though.

So at the end of s4, Ben and Locke move the island to keep Widmore from getting there and killing everyone which may or may not be the case but Ben has convinced enough ppl that's gonna happen.

At the same time, Jack, Sayid, Kate, Hurley, Sun, and Claire's baby escape to Widmore's boat where they then take the helicopter with the pilot Frank where they link up with Desmond and Penny on her boat where they formulate a plan to lie to the world about being the only survivors of their crashed flight.

So Ben moves gears like a wheel under one of the Dharma stations and the island begins to hop through time; the 50s, the future (like 2 years iirc), hundreds of years in the past the 80s, and the 70s. This allows for a lot cool and touching scenes from events in s1-s4 and new ****. They stop a nuke from leaking radioactivity back when the army was testing on the island they fought against the Others. Every time they jump through time a bright flash occurs and it's revealed it's killing the ppl on the island who were on it (the chick Faraday is in love with does from a massive seizure/brain hemmoraghe) when Ben moves it (Ben moving the island transported him back to the world where he then went about trying to kill Widmore in an indirect way cuz he killed his "daughter" via hiring Sayid as his assassin (he does it cuz the love of his life is killed and Ben makes him think Widmore did it).

Locke then realizes/is sent a message by the smoke monster ink the form of Jack's dead dad that he has to fix this problem. So they lower him in to a well where he breaks his leg, turns the wheel, the island stops jumping through time, everybody else gets stuck in the 70s when the DHARMA Initiative is on the island in a tenative truth with the Others. The survivors that matter; Sawyer, Jin, Miles, Juliet, Daniel Faraday all lie about how they got there and join the initiative after keeping up the truce with the Others, namely with Richard Alpert.

Meanwhile back in the present, Locke is trying to convince the ppl that left they have to go back to save the ppl there. WE HAVE TO GO BACK! They all say no. Locke is about to kill himself. Ben stops him. Says he'll help him. Gets some info out of him and then kills him :lol Uses Locke's death, and other threats to force 5 of the 6 to go back. They board another flight that crashes on the island except for the 5 of them who time travel to the 70s with the Others that have joined initative.

That's pretty much other than a couple more deaths and the finale.

Way more than 300 words I know :lol **** it. To me the ride and journey of watching Lost was ******* great.

Complete lies.

The acting worsens? Get the **** outta here with that bull ****. Did you watch List or skim through it? The writing and acting was high quality. Show was giving premium cable shows competition even with limitations on profanity and nakedness. Benjamin Linus, John Locke, Jack Shephard, Juliet, Sayid, Sun, Jin, ******* Desmond Hume, Penny,it goes on. Whose acting worsens? 8o

Lost remained great for 4 seasons straight. Arguably 5 but to me s5 was just good. Its just that by the end of s5 everybody realized they were creating more questions and mysteries than answering and solving them.

S4 was during the writers strike and it still brought us greatness.

S3 has some of the best Locke and Benjamin Linus eps of the series. Some great Jack, Sawyer eps. Ducking Juliette, Charlie and Hugo for the lulz. Mr. Eko :smokin My sand ***** Sayid :hat

Lost from seasons 1 to 4 were great tv and had me fiending from episode to episode. Season 5 was solid but you could see the wheels falling off. Season 6 though, they ****** up and ruined the show for me.
 
I tried to wiki Lost and the summary of the last two seasons was confusing as F

I guess I will just never understand the show [emoji]128514[/emoji]

*edit

Oh ok, I just saw Zik is attempting to explain the show. I'll read that post now

*edit

Yea I read Zik's explanation and I'm still lost. Pun intended. [emoji]128514[/emoji]

*edit

Idk what season I've watched up to, by the way Zik. Just remember that Jack really wanted to get back on the island and that's probably my last memory. Everything after that is literally a haze.

That sounds like some of season 4.

My long *** summary is a good deal of s4 stuff along with s5 cuz those were the flashforwards. S5 consisted of island scenes and flashes to the rest of the world.

Something like this show can't be summarized easily you barely remember where you left off, recall names and events, etc.

I'd highly suggest watching LOST in chronological order. The first few 10-12 eps will really **** with you :lol

Chronologically LOST

Show was trash after the first few seasons. You won't convince me otherwise. This coming from someone who tried HARD to like it as much after the first few seasons.

LOL @ giving premium channels competition though. Yeah bro, Lost was up there with Sopranos, The Wire, Deadwood and stuff
grin.gif
 
Revisionist history downplaying LOST's place in television. It was definitely up there with premium cable television shows and it redefined how television was made after that. The amount of imaginative, creative shows that came after could probably solely be attributed to LOST's success. Probably still not a better 1st season of any show out there.
 
Getting wrapped up in the mythology and the discussions that ensued were probably the highlights of lost for me. I mean people wrote dissertations on what they thought was in the hatch.
 
people flew in from all over the world just to watch the first episode of season 6 on the beach in waikiki before it played on tv.
 
That episode where Locke was walking, but his flashback showed that we was crippled into he got to the island was amazing.

I don't need to convince you. You are wrong. Factually wrong. Doesn't even seem like you watched past s2 but that's in question too :lol

Only way the nonsense you're spouting pasts muster is if "few seasons" = the first 4 great seasons followed up by a good 5th season.

:lol @ Sopranos and cocksucker Deadwood being brought up

yeah man. you had to be watching it real time along with all the other rabid fans. i don't recall any tv show prior and any show since, generating that amount of scrutiny and in-depth discussion in such a wide array of topics. i would make sure i was at home and in front of the tv every week to watch it.

i can see where the subject matter would put people off and that's fine, but you can't discount what a juggernaut that show was.
