Is it good?

I watched the movie from '86 with Sean Connery in it. Can't really say I loved it it was just decent.

Read Umberto Eccos classic novel.

I thought the 80s movie was pretty bad. Sean Connery was alright. Christian Slater as Adso almost ruined that movie singlehandedly. Was too short to really do the book justice too. If you haven't read the book, you should. It's a classic.

Can't believe that I had no idea this was being adapted for an 8 part tv mini-series. And with John Turturro as William of Baskerville.

First two episodes out already.

The Name of the Rose was one of my favourite books in my adolescence.

I remember that the young me thought the sex scene was pretty decent.

Movie is ok imo. Might look into both, series and book, as i haven't read it yet.

Damn. I haven't seen this before. That's hilarious. "Trousers"

Has anybody watched this? I've read the first two books of the quartet, and was wondering if series are worth watching.

Gonna watch this with my mother, seems like its the kind of epic mini drama she would enjoy.

Ozark is so excellent

Ozark is so excellent

It's good but I can't get past the fact how irrationally all the characters behave.

Yeah I agree with that, but still the characters have a lot of depth. The plot is great too

Really? I've watched all of it but I don't think its near as good as some of the top tier shows it gets compared to like Breaking Bad.

Its the same every episode. Michael gets strong armed into some dumb risky scheme, voices his opposition, gets overruled by his wife/ thugs the scheme blows up, he says i told you so nobody cares or learns rinse repeat.

And like Sidd said seemingly intelligent characters doing totally irrational things to create drama and drive plot forward is constant and annoying. Seems like poor writing imo

You can out it that way I guess, but in find the plot twists creative and unexpected. The development of some of the characters is interesting too

Plus, Jason Bateman is super obnoxious and a mediocre actor.

I like Bateman just think the show is really overrated.

To be honest, I probably haven’t judged him fairly in Ozark, because I cannot stand him in other roles I’ve seen him in. I find he acts pretty much the same character regardless of the film or show... drama, comedy, etc, he comes across the same to me, not much adaptability, screams mediocre to me.

God, I love this book too (I even liked the movie, lol), I have to see it! . I didn't know of its existence, thank you!
