Speaking of Linkara: Punisher #60 is special. It's good to see Linkara finally doing his proper stuff again. Even if this one does a have a few awkward moments. Dolph Lundgren Punisher doesn't get enough love. I bought it myself a few months ago and was surprised at how... mediocre(?) it was... I was expecting a train wreck, but what happened was a serviceable, if goofy, film. I enjoyed it.

Mraagvpeine posted:Why would he need to know how to green-screen? Yeah, I'm glad he doesn't green-screen. He has no reason to. Actually, one of my favorite things about Todd's videos is the lack of unnecessary BS in them. He doesn't do 30-45 minute videos on individual songs, he doesn't do long, drawn-out plotlines, and he generally avoids over-selling his jokes. I don't usually notice problems with Todd's audio or editing, outside of his first handful of videos, or occasional mistakes he'll correct with re-uploads. I'm sure there are problems, but there are few that I care about enough to notice.

poparena posted:Well, adding that to the To Watch list. Out of all the films I've watched for this particular project, The Servant is definitely the one I'd recommend the most. I'll always have a soft spot for Victim, but The Servant is the better film in general, being more sophisticated, better-made and with more ambiguity. (Victim more-or-less tells you what to think, as it's essentially that era's Philadelphia. In The Servant there's a number of different interpretations and possibilities.) God knows the next film I'm going to talk about was a real chore to watch, it took me two weeks to finally get through. Ugh. rujasu posted:Yeah, I'm glad he doesn't green-screen. He has no reason to.

Yeah, he definitely doesn't need to green screen, I think sometimes simple presentation can be the best. I think most of the mistakes in his editing can be just explained away by him neglecting to check through his videos as carefully as he should. It's easy to miss an extra random clip, or a small glitch, unless you give everything an incredibly careful watch-through. I usually do that once in the editing suite, and then once when I've exported it.

One More Day is review #200. On another note, I've been curious to watch Quantum Leap, but I wanted to know a few things about it. Is it an episodic series? If so, can you just jump in with any episode without missing anything important?

Mraagvpeine posted:Why would he need to know how to green-screen? I wasn't saying he needed to so much as wondering if he was knowledgeable enough in editing to figure out how. It's not a necessary skill, just an example. Personally, I do appreciate it when people put in the work to make their videos look more professional than the average schmuck on youtube. That's why I used to love Paw's stuff, he had a really good eye for creating a visually interesting video when it's just him in front of a camera, it was a step up from pretty much everyone short of Red Letter Media and their full on studio.

He keeps his storylines and his reviews separate. Just turn off the video after he finishes the review and you won't see any storyline. Though now that I think about it, I do remember one or two where there is a minor thing like him "beaming in" or something at the very beginning before his intro.

If so, can you just jump in with any episode without missing anything important? Watch the pilot first, but aside from that, it's pretty loose - there are some episodes that callback to things from earlier episodes, and there are a few that invert the show's formula, but the main connection between episodes is the cliffhangers. Every episode ends with Sam leaping. He's in danger or some situtation, but doesn't know where, when or who he is. He says "oh boy!". Roll credits. The next episodes carries on from that cliffhanger, but that's the limit of inter-episode coniniuty normally. You might as well watch them in order anyway.

If so, can you just jump in with any episode without missing anything important? It was made during that time where every episode has to be accessible to new viewers, so generally you can jump in on any episode and you'll be fine. It's easier to list the small amount of episodes that need some context: I'd recommend not watching The Boogieman, Shock Theater, The Leap Back, Deliver Us From Evil, or Return/Revenge of the Evil Leaper until you've watched other episodes first. Not that you wouldn't get them, but they're more enjoyable when you're familiar with the show. I do agree starting with the pilot is good.

SatansBestBuddy posted:Lindsay's talking about Mad Max. Just like everybody else. Thankfully the movie is great fun to talk about! I used to think that everyone agreed that Road Warrior, Thunderdome, and now Fury Road were all the post apocalyptic legends of the mythic Max as told by the different groups who he comes in contact with. The 1st movie being actual fact, and the rest future tales filtered through time, memory, and artistic license. Which is why the first movie is the only movie where Max is the central figure while in all the other movies he's some stranger who shows up and helps out. Watching lots of people review and talk about Max though, it's become clear that most people thought/think that it's an actual series following the true adventures of Max with loads of continuity errors.

Man, this Quantum Leap novel... One thing I do know about Revolution-era sexual morés, I once read A Midwife's Tale for a history class. It's a commentary on an average New England woman's diary from the late 1700's, and at one point, it discusses how they arranged marriages: IIRC, they'd get the guy and girl alone in a room together at a party, and if the girl got pregnant, they started planning the wedding. I'm guessing that has nothing to do with what happens in the Quantum Leap novel, though. And if someone's going to do "Live, drat you live," I'm always going to imagine it delivered by Ben Stein circa Duckman.

I prefer to see the Mad Max series as just revisiting the same concept several times, in different ways. There doesn't have to be any kind of in-universe explanation or "actual fact". I'm not as anti-worldbuilding as M. John Harrison but I'm increasingly thinking that I probably should be. I've been enjoying Lupa's Quantum Leap obsession. Used to watch it with my dad back in the day. Probably should rewatch it, especially since I only saw the German dub. Oh Mann!

I've been meaning to get around to Quantum Leap eventually. I'm a big fan of Sliders and I've heard Quantum Leap is superior, so I think I would like it. It's one of my dad's old favourites; no doubt it reminds him of the two or three years in between him getting married and the birth of yours truly.

The first two or good, then they were threatened with cancellation (or actually cancelled, then renewed at the last moment; the popular story is that Fox passed on a new series of Doctor Who with Paul McGann following on from the telemovie in favour of making a third season of Sliders) and the creator, Tracy Tormé was effectively ousted as showrunner by David Peckinpah, under whose watch the series stopped being "Jumping between alternate worlds! Will they ever get home?" and became "What blockbuster movie can we rip off this week?" while removing John Rhys-Davies and Sabrina Lloyd (in pretty nasty ways, too) in favour of Kari Wuhrer (because they needed eye-candy, basically) and Jerry O'Connell's brother (because O'Connell threatened to walk otherwise) and basically getting a lot more generically sci-fi. There is some good stuff in seasons three to five (Cleavant Derricks is always giving 110% playing the best character in the show), but you could probably just watch the first two and stop (or the first three and stop, since I think three ends at a point that's open-ended, but essentially conclusive). The entire series ends on a cliffhanger that's never resolved.

Watch Quantum Leap in order goddammit. It has character development! Despite there only being two characters most of the time. I don't even dare start talking about Quantum Leap because I'll have to go watch it all again. ...seriously you don't need to watch it in order but do anyway. It's fab.

Fury Road is based on the "word burgers" (which might be books?), implying that its based on a written account, whereas Road Warrior and Thunderdome are oral accounts. That's more of the subtext, rather than the actual point of the movies. You can see them as movies about Max which have soft reboots between each sequel. I like the "its a bunch of stories people have passed on about Max after the war" explaination. It suits the mythic, larger than life tone of the sequels.
