Every season of Narcos is awesome
I wish I didn’t already know that Kiki Camarena gets murdered. The CIA was likely complicit in that. That would be a “HOLY SHIT” moment had I not known. Probably still going to be good TV, though.

I didn’t know. It was shocking.
 
@Ice_Ice_Brady I finally got caught up and finished the Penguin season finale. I knew he would let the cops get Sofia. I figured he would maneuver through the younger, hungrier kids. Somehow, he was going to get out of that because he’s a criminal mastermind. On par with Luthor (the GOAT) and The Joker. Vic? That was a gut punch. I didn’t see that coming at all, but the audience needed to be reminded that Oz is a sociopath and ruthless.

I know they showed the Bat signal at the end, but I’d really like it if they kept him on the periphery as long as possible. The one concern I had with this season, even though the scene was awesome, was the massive explosion at Crown Point. There’s no way the Batman isn’t sniffing around that. He’s the greatest detective in the world and a massive explosion rocked a poor area of town. I worry about them using Bruce Wayne/Batman as a crutch. I’d like to see some more of the lesser-known villains emerge. Mr. Zsasz would be a phenomenal character to introduce to this show. Especially with the creative freedom Max enjoys.

Yeah that sounds like a great angle for a S2 character.

Agree 100% about Batman…don’t want that shit even touching this show. The show-runner seemed genuinely conflicted about future seasons…she doesn’t want to ruin the show unless S2 can be as good as S1. They may have thrown the bat signal in just in case this is the final product and that’s essentially a prequel that connects to The Batman.

Nah. The movie was the prequel because Carmine Falcone is already dead in the show and Maroni is locked up. If you like the Oz character, you should check out the movie and see how fucked up Paul Dano’s Riddler is. Matt Reeves really nailed the look and feel of Gotham. Filthy, run down, looks like it stinks, graffiti everywhere, corrupt to the core.

I was at a networking event earlier and spoke to a dude who shoots horror movies down here. I randomly asked him if he watched the show. He did and said that he thinks the show is going to lead right into the next movie (hence the Bat Signal at the end) and that’s it. That would be a shame, but they definitely went out on top.
 
@Ice_Ice_Brady @Lord Guts I love how they strongly imply that the U.S. government was aware that Kiki Camarena had been taken and may have even sanctioned it. There were rumors that he got close to, or maybe even discovered, CIA involvement in drug trafficking. At the very least, the timing was suspect.
 
Two more thoughts:

1. Love Don Neto. I don’t know what happens to him, and he’s still a piece of shit, but he doesn’t make any attempt to hide who he is. In a way, he’s the most honest character on the show.

2. Every time Isabella is on the screen, I get hard. Til’ the room stank. Holy mackerel.

Sid you finish it?
 
Great, great true story!! It won several awards when it first came out in 2012. Everyone I recommended this to has thanked me profusely for suggesting it. Join the crowd and thank me later.

Another movie, on Netflix that I liked. it's called the "Ballad of Buster Scruggs". Done by the Coen Brothers who also gave us "The Big Lebowski"...

I found this by accident. I was actually just looking for the song and it had the video attached to it. I've seen NRBQ dozens of times in small bars when I was 16, 17, 18 years old. We used to yell out songs and they'd play them.
Funny and graphic violence, my kind of movie.
 
I went to the movies last Friday and saw Gladiator 2. Good movie! I was a little nervous about it at first because sequels can sometime really suck. It had a couple of spots that I thought kind of dragged, but overall very watchable and entertaining. Great fighting scenes, very graphic violence, which is a plus for me. I recommend.

Which reminds me, she was not only happy to be fucked by him but she was Gladiator 2.

They gave us a foam "Thumbs up" and "Thumbs down" finger and a poster.
