And they're calling a notebook a "note" for some reason on the other hand deliberately choosing to make their movie look and sound like a lovely dub is inspired in a roundabout way

The trailer had the main character being chased by the cops and there's a loving helicopter crashing into the ferris wheel for gently caress's sake. You know, the psychological games that made the series loving good? Also, can't forget that the main character was an honor student who wore a suit and saw himself as divine, while the deep down dark side of his character is a big part of what made the story. So Willem Defoe being Ryuk (the demon) isn't enough to give a pass for how this depiction has a main character who looks like an emo kid. I don't give a poo poo about the race of the characters, but really, this just reeks of lazy youtube style fanfic.

I feel like I always post about Rifftrax but I just found out that No Retreat, No Surrender Rifftrax is on Prime. Such a bad/good movie.

I'm looking forwards to what Wingard can do with it, as the shorter run time of a film should force him to cut the bullshit cruft of the manga.

I'm looking forwards to what Wingard can do with it, as the shorter run time of a film should force him to cut the bullshit cruft of the manga. This was how I felt about Death Note, one of the very few animes I've enjoyed and can almost admit to watching. It does take a nosedive 1/3rd of the way through though. I think like all animes, the anime outpaced the manga and so the producers started throwing poo poo on a whiteboard and seeing what stuck? I could be wrong. The concept was neat though. And I'm torn because I normally hate when something I loved in one media form is taken and warped for the whims of out-of-touch studio execs, but in this case it's anime. Also it's crossing cultural barriers from Japanese to American cultures, which is as good excuse as any. Not even similar-culture media such as TV series (The Office, Shameless, etc.) are exempt from having sweeping changes after keeping the core concept, so why do anime fans think they're any better?

Korea just seems to be a bottomless well of good movies on netflix. My latest watch is The Wailing which is a supernatural mystery horror movie. It's an incredibly dense plot with a lot of twists and turns but manages to tie everything together really well. It's 2 and a half hours and a very slow burner, so it's not exactly a small time and attention investment, but it's definitely worth it if you're into that sort of thing. The Wailing, The Tiger, Pandora, and Train to Busan were all amazing movies, but I kinda wish they would put the other train movie back up because I really wanna rewatch it now that I'm on a korean movie kick.

I loved The Wailing, but I really disliked the ending because it just fell flat. It's great fodder for discussion, though.

I really enjoyed the ending personally and thought it ended the movie on a really strong note. I definitely had to google a few plot breakdowns to really get a grasp on the bigger picture though. what was it you disliked about the ending? I thought the whole good spirit vs evil spirit thing, the Christian themes, and the reveal that the shaman was in cahoots with the devil was really well handled and still felt satisfying even though it ended on a really dark note with the whole family dying. If anything I'd say the start was a lot weaker since the investigation was frustratingly poorly handled, only really salvaged by the humorous scenes.

I feel like they might help me appreciate the ending better. It just felt like a tonal shift, kinda off-kilter and I thought it didn't fit the movie. If the movie simply ended with the entire family dead, just on that beat instead of showing the immediate aftermath, I think that it probably would have gone over better with me. The investigation being poorly handled added to the movie, as it really painted the police as being incompetent and gives rationale to the chaotic decisions they make later in the movie. They don't know what the hell they're doing, so their panic really escalates the longer the movie goes on. I guess it's a matter of perspective.

The Austin stop was overall stronger than the LA one and it felt closer to classic Chappelle. And I loved seeing the disgusted look on audience faces when he's doing mundane material. Gonna try and cop tickets to see him next week.

His joke was that their priority was that he call their sick friend who was oding or whatever by the correct gender pronoun, rather than worrying about how sick their friend was and getting that sick friend help. This thread is probably not the best place to have this discussion.

30 Rock: Almost done with season 1. Alex Baldwin is a lot more friendly than I always thought about the show. I assumed he wasn't like a villain, but basically the ceo antagonist guy that stops the fun. He's way more connected to the rest of them than I imagined. I also don't know why Judah Freidlander gets put in the opening credits but is a side character who probably has less lines than the black nerd writer and he isn't in them.

How many shows can pull Jim Carrey for a tiny throwaway gag like that? The star power in 30 Rock is insane. It really needs a comeback now that Trump is in office.
