i liked altered carbon but the title gets dropped once or twice in contexts that are really forced and i have 0 desire to read any sequels

i didnt neither but i was bored & had them already. so if you do have the sequels, please delete them now :)

Christ, I'd forgotten the terrible sex scenes the hypnosex in the AC books. And the way everybody practically slobbers/cowers in fwar over what a badass the Envoys are the moment they meet one.

It's really amazing the first book ended up being a genuinely good noir cyberpunk.

i am soooo sure he had those sequels just lying around as lovely drafts in a drawer

book 1 is all on earth and detectiving and actually pretty good

2+3 is in space and weird and bad and theres alien artifacts and who gives a gently caress

does The Expanse have any noir or procedural storylines?

also enjoyed Ghost in the Shell movies and SAC, Looper, Snowpiercer, Edge of Tomorrow, Ex Machina, Blade Runner 2049, etc. Out of the loop on non-hollywood movies and non-exported anime

without having heard of it I watched the 2017 version on a long flight

when we landed I thought “double white washing was a bold move, let’s see how it turned out for them”

imo the whitewashing was one of several problems.

the script was dumb as hell but still somehow constructed to get those iconic scenes which makes it even dumber

I cannot judge movies 6+ hours into a flight - on a previous intercontinental flight I watched the Independence Day sequel and thought “Huh that was mediocre not terrible”

the trick is to have enough alcohol or benzodiazepines/whatever to doze off during the boring/inane parts of a film

ok I drank all the booze they give you in economy, reading any more in this rough air will make me sick and I just woke up from a lovely nap. we just now crossed the Canadian border so it’s 9 hours to go until we land at NRT (then a 2 hour layover and another 4 hour flight)
