Only four episodes in, but I love the ridiculous metalcore song they use for the big action scenes. The monster designs from the original comic are well realized, too, but it's funny how fast paced the show is compared to the comic. The fight with the protein monster takes one episode when it was literal months in the comic.

Is it an actual Imagine Dragons song or just someone trying to sound like them?

Edit: Looking it up it is in fact an actual Imagine Dragons song, one written for League of Legends.

I’m just realizing now that Bong Joon Ho’s (arguably) 2 biggest movies are Parasite and The Host.

If nothing else they're by far his best known works in the US. Speaking of which, is Okja a movie that will make me feel really bad because I've heard that it will make me feel really bad? (No spoilers)

Which is incredible to me because both titles (and the movies themselves) use the same metaphor in direct reference to the US and western capitalism at large.

Haven't seen Okja but it seems to me we're all feeling pretty bad most of the time. So might as well feel bad watching a good flick, right?

It's a movie about a girl and her superpig where Jake Gyllenhaal plays a character that is probably best described as David Attenborough by way of Waluigi.

Imagine Dragons music is tailor made for movie trailers and commercial spots, the lyrics are completely generic and can be applied to anything.

Troy is such a bad historical movie and movie itself but man I can watch it all the time and always be entertained.

I wish there were more historical movies (even lovely ones) of that scale. I'm just a sucker for any ancient history interpretation in movies.

I feel like the genre more or less killed itself with the insistence on getting 'the real story' of what were already fairy tales and de-fantasising it, like with all the Robin Hood and King Arthur movies. And kinda forgetting that if King Arthur isn't going to get a magic sword from a strange woman in a pond then he'd better be an interesting character in his own right.

Probably says something that the most recent successful 'historical' movie I can think of is 300.

The Cameo
Jan 20, 2005


It’s weird because it must have been a response to, what, Gladiator’s success? And figuring “well everyone knows these legendary stories, so what if we strip them down to what they would have really been like and get both ends?” But by the time the movies chasing that were releasing, the audience had already moved on and Lord of The Rings had sucked the air out of the historical epic revival’s sails.

So we got stuck with a bunch of movies that felt like semi-researched high school history essays of stories that in their original form are much wilder and fantastical.

I think The Predator actually started fairly strong, I was definitely enjoying myself for like the first third of it. Then it just stalls out at some point and never really regains the momentum.

I do like the scenes where the Uber-Predator is in an enclosed space with the soldiers and is just completely wrecking them.

The Predator escape was something I’ve wanted to see forever. I just had this idea in my head about a Predator escaping a hospital or prison taking everyone out. It also helped that Predator had a personally and some good jokes. (The thumbs up gag)

When he died the movie went to poo poo.

They should have just gone full LOTR with Troy; in fact Peter Jackson should just adapt the Trojan Cycle; just put less rape in it and it would be fine
