Except to your mother! It sounds like you were a real jerk to her.

The ending is infuriating. The more I think about it, the dumber it gets.

Okay, so I finished Iron Fist. It has maybe five episodes worth of interesting stuff spread out over 13 episodes. And I'm not saying, "five episodes are good." I'm saying, five episodes worth of story, character, and moments are good and then scattered haphazardly throughout. As a fan of the character, I'm super disappointed (sorry, Finn Jones).

lol--sorry, I wasn't sure if you were joking or not. My memory can be a bit selective...

I don't remember that...I would be for it

Let me just say that Iron Fist and Colleen Wing are two of my favorite superheroes, and I was willing to overlook a lot. I watched the first six episodes, the ones that all the reviews are based on, and I thought it was pretty good. All the Joy and Ward stuff was dumb, and the amount of redundant dialog gave me the impression that the show runner didn't get that people would be binging it, but overall, I kind of felt like the reviews were an overreaction. Colleen was a badass and I liked how goofy and blisssd out Danny was--which was all true to their characters. ...Then I watched episode 7 (I.e. The first of the episodes that weren't reviewed) and the show took a huge dump all over itself! I won't get into specifics, but basically I still have a few more episodes to watch, but I thought the casting was fine and I don't blame the actors for how this is shaping out. It's the direction and the writing that's weak. If this was their attempt to silence their critics, they needed to do much better. That all being said, I still want to see the Luke Cage/Danny Rand bro-mance in a Heroes for Hire show, and I've read somewhere someone suggest a Daughters of the Dragon show led by Colleen, which I would also be totally down for. I haven't given up hope yet. There's potential there, unfortunately, unless they can pull it together soon (which I doubt) it's completely squandered here. Ultimately, I'm beginning to get how Suicide Squad fans must have felt about the movie. I'm not saying that this is as terrible as that, but just that feeling of, "Wow! I never thought I'd get to see a movie/television show about Iron Fist!" only to be disappointed with the end result. They should have just adapted the Brubaker/Fraction run... ETA: Oh! And there is a scene where they are talking about "synthetic heroin" that is some of the best unintentional comedy I've seen in awhile. After introducing a drug as "synthetic heroin" that's all the call it for an entire scene--not just "heroin" or "drugs"--synthetic heroin. I'm sure it wasn't quit this bad, but it sounded like: IF: They are trafficking synthetic heroin. Do you really want your students exposed to this synthetic heroin? CW: Of course not! This synthetic heroin sounds terrible, but what can we do about the synthetic heroin?

Also, Dan, you and Shannon are always welcome to suggest a movie. No participation required. It's the least we can do for all of your hospitality.

You think what we're saying is "half-intelligent?" I didn't realize we came off that well... We did it, guys! The con is working!

Baby CakeBug, you're my friend and I agree with everything you wrote. That being said, new poster Ataraxy just called you "Grumposaurus Rex" and I find that hilarious! Sorry, this round goes to the newbie (I still got your back though)

...

Is CakeBug your mom?

Maaaaaybe.....

I added you, Jammer!

But you knew what it was called. I'm pretty sure my mom only thought of it because Entertainment Tonight was doing a piece on Reynolds' passing. She watches ET, but not movies...

I keep wanting too, but Jam won't let me...

Now THAT'S interesting...

My mom said, "Oh, there's a great one you should do. It's called: (slowly and deliberately) 'Laughing in the Rain." "Laugh? Are you talking about "Singin' in the Rain?" "Yes! It's a great one!" "First of all, yes it is (although, if you can't remember the name...)? And second, literally EVERYONE has seen it."

I love your mom

You are clearly a person of impeccable taste.

Foolish boy! Coconuts? Licorice? This is only the beginning...

It better not be...
