i said it in here earlier this werk but it’s currently my pick for “worst episode” tied with the one where chris and ade try to manage a horrible horrible band

it’s still a very bleak, hosed up ep, even if it ultimately does have a relevant message

we rewatched toys for the first time each in what must be at least 20 years and holy moly is that movie longer and stranger than i remember. ll cool j is the standout of the film and robin wright sounds like a different person because i guess im not used to her voice being higher pitched and twangy

this movies visuals are both disorienting and starkly abstract and it brings back some of those scissorhands vibes which i like but also found disjointed since they never anchor the film in the greater world outside the factory. like why not show the neighboring town a bit? it would have humanized everyone. as it is they may as well be toys themselves in a tacky tableau

highlights include the fact that the whole film is set in the rolling fields of windows xp wallpaper and the battery life joke that for some reason made me burst out laughing :confused:

I love gibson’s books but the best parts of them are in how he creates imagery which there’s no way to do well in film when you’re supposed to show and not tell. you’d need a director and production designer who were super careful and detailed with the look

it’s weird because the structure of most of his books is very movie-like, in how you have multiple people/groups who weave in and out of one narrative but if you look at that movie and his 2 xfiles episodes his dialog is awful

this is maybe a weird nitpick but the thing that bothered me most about the chess show is how the main character never really has a coach or even people to practice with except for a couple extremely short periods of time. it's kinda implied she's read a bunch of books on her own off screen, but the show portrays her just as a unique genius who was able to become the best player in the world by pure talent & instinct. you never really get the impression she was studying or trying very hard, and all the players she ended up winning against were also talented & took the game seriously while she just got wasted all the time but it didnt matter because she was naturally so much better than everyone else. she sobered up like 1 day before her world championship match and that was enough to win
