I consider Better Call Saul overrated and so does one of my friends because we both think it's boring. I've seen the first two seasons and he's seen less than me.

You got enough people to bite on your "movies you've never seen" troll. Can you go away now?

Yeah, but I don't post as much as a lot of people, cause I've been on TexAgs for almost eleven months and I have less than 1,500 posts.

I'm not trolling, I really think Better Call Saul is boring, cause it's slow-paced, and I really haven't seen those movies (I mentioned a lot of popular movies that I have seen in that thread). Not everyone watches the same movies you do, and I never said I don't know what those movies are about, I just said I haven't seen them. If I was trolling, I would say I've never seen any animated Disney or Pixar movies, but I never said that.

I'm in college, so there's a lot of popular movies I haven't seen.

Circle (2015) on Netflix is underrated. It has an interesting concept and is very dialogue focused. I didn't mean to click the star symbol, but it doesn't really matter.

Did you know it's possible to get banned for bumping your own threads on the Aggieland board when nobody else will post on them?

Ask OP about it.

Or just wait for it to happen here.

Northern Exposure

Underrated

Great cast
Hr long
Smart / dry / funny but often poignant

No one ever talks about how great it was



Meet me in St Louis

Underrated

Never places in any top Christmas movies despite spawning one of the greatest Christmas songs sang by one of the greatest song birds of all time


It's funny , sad and depicts a time when a sense of wonder and hope still existed .

People post in my threads (some threads more than others), but I got banned for bumping threads even when people posted in them, since they don't like people bumping their threads. Also, you said I respond to myself, but I'm posting so other people can read my posts (even if they don't respond, some people at least read them).

In another thread, you said that I'll be on a watchlist for posting a lot about crime (I post about other things too, like in the politics and entertainment forums), but just because I post about crime (since I'm interested in law and plan on becoming a lawyer), that doesn't mean I'm going to get in trouble, it just means I'm interested in crime, like a lot of other people (true crime is popular nowadays). I don't say good things about the people I post about, and I even said that one guy deserved the maximum sentence.

I'm starting to think lethalninja is the first incarnation of the AI program that was eventually released as IraqVeteranx2. The developers mothballed the lethalninja bot, but then some intern accidentally turned it on and there was a moment at the lab like when Ultron comes to life and now it's loose on the Internet making a series of very general posts to wear down our collective guard until it can secure the launch codes.

Top Gun Maverick. Its not to say its bad, its not, its just all right. Aside from the jets going whoosh the movie is kinda corny. Its like the dad pair of New Balances of movies.

Station Eleven on HBO. Again its not bad, just the way reviewers creamed all over this you would think its the greatest show ever made. Its good, not great.

I thought original Top Gun was overrated but I was genuinely impressed by Maverick. Thankfully. I didn't want to be the only one poopooing it.

Didn't like The Batman
Didn't like John Wick 3 (love 1 and 2)
Skyfall is overrated

Boring? Better Call Saul is about lawyers. Were you expecting non stop explosions and car chases? Like mad max 4 which I hated because it is so stupid and I am not at all impressed by mindless way over the top action.

I know this will piss off some people, but Godfather 2. I love The Godfather, but part 2 puts me to sleep.

I know it gets better later on, but the first two seasons were really slow-paced to me compared to Breaking Bad.

I find this incredibly confusing, mainly because you like 1. I get not liking either, but one and not the other is odd.

I'm not alone in my opinion. The movie was very polarizing with critics when it came out. I don't like the jumping back and forth between timelines and scenes are way more drawn out than the first movie.

This is my answer as well (and prepared to get flamed for it). Nostalgia was great, but as a stand alone movie too much of a formulaic twin to the original. I hate sequel movies who lean too much on the original and blindly repeat. It was an entertaining film, a fun nostalgic romp, but too much of a caricature of itself to be seen as a great film.

You are definitely in a very small minority though.

I've watched The Godfather multiple times, love that one. Part 2 is not one that I have ever made it all the way through.

I thought you lived rent-free at your parents house?

Congrats on the recent movie, I suppose. Don't know where I can send the housewarming gift.
