this is a pathetic old white guy fantasy


how can someone not hear a car rushing at them in a quiet night? jon lightglow talking shit to that young guy lol. 30 min car conversation, really? how the fuck did this show get an 8.4 on imdb?

reply

i was a little like "huh?" when that car barreling out of nowhere happened, but i still am enjoying the program

reply

Jeff Bridges is great, of course. But this show just goes on and on...

reply

I agree not hearing that car coming was pretty ridiculous but i'm enjoying the show. It's a very slow burn but i don't need an explosion, car chase or shoot out every 10 minutes to sustain my attention. I just need a good story held up by good actors. And Lithgow and Bridges are about as good as it gets.

reply

they are good but not in this. the dialogue is so corny. the reason why i say it's a fantasy is it's basically how tough wannabes imagine themselves talking to other people.

reply

All action movies and shows are fantasies about actors imagining themselves as tough wannabes. The dialogue is great IMO. Especially as delivered by legends like Lithgow and bridges. And since it's already been picked up for a season 2 it's doing pretty good ratings wise.

reply

What exactly do you find pathetic about old white guys? I am guessing a film called the old man might not be for you.
You made 3 spelling mistakes in 'John Lithgow' so I'm guessing you're not among the brightest and best.

reply

Probably graduated top of the class at a Liberal school where the the best and brightest had a double digit intelligence quotient.

reply

It figures someone half illiterate would post something about race. Illiteracy and racism do go together, along with ignorance, of course.

reply

oh no. did i make the whitecels mad? or is it old whitecels? not knowing how to spell the name of some old ass actor means i'm not the brighest? lol what if i told you i didn't give a shit? it's ok to be old and white but the story gotta be good. what's not ok is to be a whitecel. you are one of the only people who even cared about the white part. i could've just said a old man fantasy but hell, why not be descriptive? you're the only one who got offended though.

reply

Whitecell!?! These fuckwits keep making shit up don't they, and each one is dumber than the last.
And also while you briefly have my attention - this is a movie site and John Lithgow is listed, just google how to copy and paste if you haven't worked it out you dumb cunt.

reply

As soon as you see someone write ___cel, you know they are a retarded cunt that doesn't deserve the right to live. It was bad enough when these worthless cocksuckers yapped that everything they didn't like was racist... but after they overused and misused "racist" and "homophobe" to the point that they words had no meaning they start making up new words that they pulled out of their asses. It makes with actually wish that the purge would exist for just one night so we could rid the world of these ignorant cunts.

reply

lol so what if he's listed? why would i need to look him up? i've heard his name throughout the years and just wrote it. who cares if it's wrong? whitecel isn't made up. it's when you're a white incel. it's usually the type who would get mad if anyone says anything negative about white people. how many people here do you see seething over the phrase "old white guy"? if i said old guy would you be crying right now?

reply

You think you're so right. So righteous. You are nothing better than the people you despise. You are part of (if not entirely) your own problem. Stupid stupid people.....

reply

why would anyone come into this post seething just because i included the word "white" with the rest of it? if that's not the definition of a white incel, what is? sorry if i was too descriptive here, he is in fact white.

reply

I wonder why so many people bother to post here along with creating moronic clickbait headers for their idiotic posts.....

reply

The OP is jealous apparently..

reply

What's also interesting is when I see posts here. that are around 6 years and older, a lot of people engage in lengthy and thoughtful conversations. Nowadays it's mostly trolling and crabbing, and it seems to coincide with the 2016 presidential election.
I wonder why that is?

reply

I think you are onto something. I've never seen so many complainers, bitchers and moaners, or morons that throw up idiotic comments about an actress's rear end or breasts or just complete idiocy.

I think also, that with the rise in social media, people feel that just because there is an opportunity to make a comment, it is their right to flood the media with juvenile and asinine comments of no value just because they can. Oh, and they think they are comedians when they are not.

reply

this forum or imdb forums used to be one of the last places on the internet where you can say practically anything you want without being banned. that's why people go here to say what they really think. my post is not clickbait. there are no points on this forum. i made that post because it's the fucking truth. i'm irritated when i got suckered into watching the show and i'm here to state my opinion. that's the entire purpose of forums. people get to say what they want. i'm sorry that it makes you cry when someone doesn't agree with you on something. that's just not how the world works. it's time to grow up. people have been doing this on imdb forums for decades.

reply

The point of my reply was your header was clickbait and your comments infantile and that they added nothing. What are you, six years old and still living in your daddy's basement?

reply

Most likely he is. If you look at where he babbles its in Batman and Obi-Wan, so apparently its some little cunt that finally got his own phone when he got out of elementary school.

reply

lol. i'm not the one coming in here and attacking people. i'm here to discuss movies. you are most likely talking about yourself you mean. who even reads any of these posts and come in all angry?

reply

the saddest part is you don't know how stupid you sound right now.

reply

Republicans have too much time on their hands.

reply

TV and movies does these stupid things all the time. Like people getting beat up, shot, stabbed or in an accident and walk away ... and then a few minutes later they are as good as new. Or getting attacked by someone just outside the camera view.

They also seem to like to show a lot of open rebelling in places like the military, CIA, FBI where there is a strict chain of authority.

Another thing they do is they have to over-hype and dramatize everything. Breaking stuff, punching mirrors, throwing cell phones on the concrete?

reply

Even worse its slow and boring.
