OT: That's two hours of my life I will never get back...

[JordyG]

Just about every "hyped" finale I've ever watched was disappointing: Seinfeld; Mad Men; Mash ...

Disappointing? Try the Game Of Thrones finale. It makes all those other disappointing finale's look and sound like a performance of Beethoven's "Ode To Joy".

Most enjoyable movie I’ve seen recently is Hunt for the Wilderpeople on Hulu and Netflix. Set in New Zealand bush.

As long as posts are veering thither and yon, let me introduce yet another (uncertain if this is a thither or a yon). Great foreign films you've seen. I'll start: The Vanishing (1988, Dutch).

Was redone in 1993 with Keifer Sutherland but not nearly as well, imo. Sets up a conflict between two of the three great values (truth, freedom, and knowledge). I won't say which two but shows that, when push comes to shove, which out ranks the other.

Sorry, I have no idea what this means...except maybe it's your way of saying that the GOT finale was really, really disappointing (I never watched GOT beyond season 2, so...).

I had a friend who loved using the line "That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back" after watching a movie he didn't like. That same friend is one of those guys who sits freezing outside an Apple store all night to be the first one to buy the latest iphone. And he wonders why I laugh evertime he says "That's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back".
