watching the first ep of Shogun. too early to know if I like the story but the wardrobe, sets, and lighting are all phenomenal. it looks way too expensive to get another season unless it's killing it on the charts. the main white dude sucks at acting so far. Kaneda is the man, obviously, I hope he gets out of this alive.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Also I submit for group discussion that Edgar Wright is the only director to have captured the frenetic anime energy in live action, and he probably could have made the rest of his career off of just doing adaptions Scott Pilgrim style but rightfully realized that's poison for the soul and tried to be an auteur instead Whats the last good Wright movie after the Baby car movie

Liam, you are no Leslie. The real funny part is that Liam is probably legit one of the best choices for an actor who's at more or less the same stage as Leslie was

Ghost Leviathan posted:The real funny part is that Liam is probably legit one of the best choices for an actor who's at more or less the same stage as Leslie was Yeah, Leslie Nielsen typified the handsome authoritative man who would come into a scene in a 50s movie and deliver lengthy exposition about the plot in a monotone Liam Neeson is the king of rugged and weary action men who speak in menacing gravely rumbles while doing ultra violence in fast cut style I really don't know if the writers will capture it well, but there is an opportunity to parody the geezer teaser or dark gritty action genre in the same way disaster and police movies were before

Not that it matters much but Neeson is 10 years older than Neilsen was in the first Naked Gun.

i think Neeson could do deadpan well, and Akiva Schaffer is like one of the only filmmakers to make a decent spoof film in the 21st century. itll probably be mediocre
