Even with the leak, they stuck to their convictions. It really is NBD.

Nah, pacing isn't the problem. I liked the book well enough and would be happy with it visiting every little side plot. The problem is the awful unedited mammoth chunks of dialogue that land like fresh turds. McShane is the only one that kind of makes it work with sheer charisma. Yet bizarrely the show will also have ten minute visual set pieces at the expense of any actual character work. It sucks at both showing and telling. Oh and the music! It's either bland or awful song choices (compare it to True Detective or even Preacher to a lesser extent) or the abstract bings and bangs Reitzell began to lean on way too much in Hannibal. American Gods feels like it has started in full blown Hannibal Season 3 self indulgence rather than committing to the slow burn.

Star Trek TNG and Voyager were kind of crippled by the insistence on not having any kind of continuing story, I think Discovery could be stronger for it.

I mean, I had similar feelings about the Fincher version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (though I actually like both the American Gods book and show). Everyone involved tried their best, but they were ultimately just tied down by the source material being one big pile of poo poo.

If using 50s doowoop as the soundtrack for a story about colonial life and embodying the internet as a vaping Polygon editor is pretentious then consider me gravid with pretense.

I can't find the posters......but there was a brilliant show on Comedy Central a couple years back about two (terrible) amateur filmmakers who were brothers called Big Time in Hollywood, FL. Not that they were real, but they had some posters for some of their movies hung on the walls that could be seen in the background of certain scenes. Always made me laugh. Specifically the posters for 'Blind For Life' and 'Good Cop, Worse Cop 2'.

Jason Alexander as himself as a sociopath? Ben Stiller as "Jimmy Staats"? Loved that drat show. It was absurd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GK1ihFbMJU

It felt like a precursor into the more non-traditional "indie" style scores. It's done by Asche & Spencer who I felt were the proto-Ross & Reznor. It's on Spotify - check it out. Speaking of Ross and Reznor... I just discovered they're scoring Ken Burns' Vietnam War doc. Goddamn I can't wait.

The early ones were awesome, though! (Scale aside). I suspect they came from Marvel and everything else is Sony.

Maybe it's the result of two studios trying to negotiate their ideas of what the poster should be and the poor bastards actually putting it together are just like "whatever, throw it all in"

That jaws poster would be great if the original weren't so iconic as to render any other jaws poster feel extraneous.

I never finished season 3, but I know it was a big "gently caress IT DO WHATEVER" as they already knew the show was going to be cancelled. here some old posters from my country: For a famous movie, DVD covers por Pepe el Tore are terrible,just a photo of the lead with some lazy texture photoshopped in the back. it's a shame they didn't use something similar to the poster art:

I felt like Hannibal S3 flounders for like the first ~3 episodes then gets amazing and maybe the best the show ever gets, so ymmv I guess.

Well yeah. For the first sequel you add another head, and what are you going to do for the second? Add another head? People have seen another head, what they haven't seen is two additional heads. It only makes sense that for the fourth one you add three heads.

It's not like you're gonna wow anybody with a few more heads after that. Just double it. Make it 10. And after that: 101.

I really fail to see how adding more heads to a man-eating shark makes it any scarier or more dangerous. It's not any harder to escape/avoid/kill, and it can't eat me any additional times. But then I guess I'm not the target audience for these films.
