I think Fatman is the better written film, story and dialogue wise. Violent Nights is just fun though. I'm glad we have both.

I also think part of the problem is that Fatman was basically marketed like it was Violent Nights when it really wasn't. It was a bit misleading. On the other hand, Violent Nights pretty much delivers exactly what it promises from the trailer.

It was kind of funny when Michael Kelly's character, Mike November, pokes fun at this.

"I'm sorry, I've been out of the game for a while and forgot everything revolves around you."

Exactly, that was the running joke with Netflix for a while at the beginning too, that everything was automatically getting three seasons. Obviously it's different now but Apple is following the same path somewhat. Not enough content to cancel everything, got to build up the stable a bit first.

Did you see the end? There's like a huge part of the mystery they left unsolved.

You could say you're gaga for Gugu.

He's almost certainly going to butt heads with the local bosses.

Yeah, I didn't catch that at the time but in retrospect it is a little ridiculous. It's also just another ham-fisted way of letting the audience know, 'Hey, he's a gangster but he's one of the good guys! Look at him defend the honor of this black guy!'

In reality, let's not kid ourselves, Dwight would probably be racist as fuck.

> But, I’m pretty sure it exists in a different form… which I bet Dwight discovers soon enough, > >

Yeah I have a pretty good feeling this is gonna happen.

Well, yeah, I mean I'm not getting that the show is going for total realism here. It feels like a pulpy, mobster melodrama. But who knows, maybe they'll reveal in later episodes that there is a reason that Bhodi didn't call the police on Dwight. Like he's doing some shady shit on the side or something.

Yeah, I obviously understand why he chose the dispensary, it's just the way it happened that felt a little rushed. With him pointing at the building, asking the driver, 'what's that?' and then going, 'stop there' It just all felt a little random.

The funniest story from that whole article has to be this one:

>Mark McGrath: Sugar Ray tried to fight a kid who called him Sugar Gay.

I just watched the first episode. It's okay, there's potential here. It moves very quick setting everything up, to the point where it sort of strains the plot. I wouldn't mind if they slowed it down a bit. Within the opening minutes he's out of prison, punching a capo in the mob, arguing with the head boss and then gets shipped off to Tulsa (I guess after 25 years in prison you have no parole officers you need to report to?) where he gets in a cab, fights with the driver and then just points at the first thing that catches his attention (a dispensary) and goes in and just bullies everyone into doing what he asks.

Which I guess is the whole point here, he's a NY mobster in a city where they're supposedly not used to people operating like this which is what gets him a foothold.

Stallone is fun to watch though, there's no denying that. His whole 'sick of this shit' attitude as he stomps around punching people and threatening everyone is pretty hilarious.

I'm curious to see where it goes. I think I was expecting something more serious and gritty like Mayor of Kingstown and that's definitely not this. It's more light and humorous than anything so far.

It wasn't that she wouldn't have benefits. She was relatively new, she needed to be there for 6 months to qualify. That's pretty standard in a lot of places.

There was a few weeks where From, Yellowjackets and Severance were all airing new episodes. Was a great couple weeks for mystery box fans when they overlapped.
