Re: analysis paralysis - Have you seen "In Bruges"? Starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson? I just watched it and it's supposed to be a modern classic but it's really just this kind of half serious half humorous Irish Tarantino sort of thing and I thought both halves of the movie were inconsistent. It's from the guy who later directed that stinking shit pile "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" but this film's a bit better.
Uh, that's it for me right now.
Rewatched "The Wire," opinions are about the same there. I'd forgotten some of the more heartless bits, like when Chris Partlow shoots that poor woman in the convenience store so he can frame it on Omar. I never had a problem with this show's towering reputation--I get entirely why it's so beloved. But man it is a dry show. Five stars in terms of how much I admire it, but three and a half in terms of how much I enjoy watching it. Hugely respectable show but I'm kind of glad I didn't buy the DVDs.
Redoing first two seasons of "The X-Files," this is all 10th anniversary stuff, 2013 was when I started binging TV shows ("Breaking Bad," to be in time for the finale, and "Arrested Development," whose second Netflix season was very weak and the cast all hates each other now because of Jeffrey Tambor being a dick) and "The Wire" was third and I knocked out one season of "X-Files" before finally doing "Twin Peaks" proper.
*Eyes dart guiltily*
I....liked..."three billboards...".
Up to the end.
One of those ones where they didn't have an ending, so just kinda bailed.
So, I'd probably like "In Bruges".
