That seems extremely on brand for UKMT. I too liked Soma.

I liked firefly the first time I watched it, have tried to watch through it twice again since and never managed it. It's not very good, really.

One thing I like about tarantino is that you learn he's a foot guy, then you see a picture of him, or vice versa, and you get a momentary feeling like you've tapped into some universal knowledge. I dunno why but he's now my platonic ideal of what a foot guy looks like despite not thinking that was a thing that had a platonic ideal until I had both of those pieces of information in my head. Also kill bill is a good film imo I liked it a lot as a kid even if I didn't understand it. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Jan 11, 2020 |

Yeah, Whedon's work isn't something you can really go back to once you get where he's coming from with his female characters. Way too much weird and uncomfortable there.

I once saw an episode where the world was going to end, hell going to take over, cats and dogs, etc, and one of the main stars was complaining they couldn't get a date for some event like a prom. And I think this was just after someone unimportant died in front of them. And noped the gently caress out of seeing it ever again.

Angel was *slightly* better in its later seasons, but I can think of two episodes of Buffy that stand out: the silent episode and the musical one

To be clear I've watched Firefly through like, twice. It's not like Babylon 5 where I can watch it annually and love it every time or something, and I don't stan it as the greatest show never completed. But... it's fun enough and I don't think we'd have been worse off if it had got a few seasons before they knifed it

IIRC they said that the movie (Serenity) completed the whole of the planned story line for the however many seasons they were going to originally make... so I don't get why they'd be bringing it back.

Capitalism is bad for the creative arts, as showcased by the sheer homogeneity of Hollywood films at this point. Better to revive something from 15 years ago than take a risk on something new.

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:There's also the other side of it, ruthlessly crushing any and all unauthorized derivative works. This is even worse IMO. It gets doubly bad when you have platforms like youtube that control a whole medium in itself and will crush smaller content creators on behalf of rich megacorps even if the smaller party never violated any copyright in the first place.

Something that I learned in the BSS movie thread which is relevant to this discussion. Supposedly Wheadon got Dollhouse greenlit by saying to Fox. "Hey you know that show that people like call Terminator: The Sara Connor Chronicles? I can do that but cheaper. I call it Dollhouse." They also think he did that before hand but with "Hey you know that show that people like call Dark Angel? I can do that but cheaper. I call it Firefly."
