I'm sure he'll make a good Batman if it ever restarts production but his talent is wasted in superhero movies

If the upfront box office cut as really the issue for Nolan, why would he not just lobby for them to push the movie back to next year?

Weekly releases keep it in the media cycle for longer. Mandalorian got reviews and writeups for weeks on culture sites, which was free advertising for Disney. If everything drops at once, it's only like 3 weeks of discussion tops. Remember Tiger King?

I haven’t been following the new Batman movie up until now and in the first picture of Pattinson as the character I saw he wasn’t in the costume & looked kinda dirty, pale and thin. I concocted this idea in my head that this Batman was going to be in that Taxi Driver-esque setting they made for Joker, just fifteen or so years in the future, and rather than being a batted up tacticool blowjob they were gonna go for something more low fantasy, I guess you’d say, where Batman is a grounded, visibly distressed, ideologue loving up parts of the city while trying to dispense what he considers justice. Then I watched the preview and he’s just another cut and paste, super fast martial artist in combat armor, friends with the police, Batman. It seems very generic. Say what you will about the movies containing them, or your general fatigue with the character himself, but the last two live action portrayals of Joker were at least something different. Also, the more realistic they try to make these settings, the dumber Batman looks when the camera lingers on him. This one doesn’t appear to have fixed this. The bit with him and Gordon looks like a highly skilled cosplayer wandered into a murder investigation.

Is the series Mr. Robot worth watching to the end? I'm half way through season 2 and although it's C-SPAM in parts, the episodes are dragging a bit and I'm just wondering if it's worth it.

I’m watching the Hannibal series for the first time in six years, on an actual nice tv with good sound, and I’ll be damned if this isn’t maybe the prettiest thing ever made for television. Sound and visual design is astounding, and the cast is perfect. Prettier even than Devs, or at least as good. Of all the network tv murderverses (ie, Homicide, CSI, NCIS; basically shows where serial killers with double or even triple body counts outnumber the remainder of the population two to one) I think it would be the most desirable one to live in because right up until you got offed everything would look so cool, and when someone did kill you they’d do something neat with your body, like turn your skin into a human Slanket.

Season 2 is weak, but season 3 is terrific (as good as season 1) and season 4 is some of the best tv I've ever seen. push through season 2 and it's worth it.

i say swears online posted:I haven't watched VB since like 2005, what are the later seasons like? The characters do a decent job of evolving and the show reinvents itself around season 4? I think the compound is destroyed and the Ventures move into the city, characters develop a ton from the first couple seasons here, people seem to be split between this being where the show jumps the shark/manages to reinvigorate itself. I still like it, but I'd be cool with season 8 being the end - 7 ended at a point that makes a final season wrap-up make sense.

They slowly pivot away from the concept being “this is a show about neurotic adult failures living in the shadow of previous heroic generations” and began letting the characters grow. It feels less like the characters are being punished for existing by a god that’s disgusted with them. It remains overall good.

Stairmaster posted:What happened to the venture brothers... According to Wikipedia, their next season will be the final one. That's fair. There aren't many mysteries left in the show to uncover and I think Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer might want to move on from being the only writers on the show. The creators having a tight vision of the show and being the only writers as well is the reason it takes two years to produce an episode. Okuteru has issued a correction as of 14:53 on Sep 9, 2020 |

since voyager came up earlier ive been rewatching it in full for the first time since y2k. the only reason i havent thrown my tv through the window yet is looking for like-minded criticism after rediscovering how bafflingly tone deaf to outright racist half these episodes are led me to this blog https://them0vieblog.com/reviews-hub/79613-2/ the political analysis is a bit limited by the reviewer's conceptual toolchest (its limited to axes of conservative/liberal and progressive/reactionary), but their observations are on point and go in the right directions even if projected onto inadequate represenation. they do a great job of cataloging the series' obsession with memory and identity (which colored over everything for me after late season 2 on this rewatch), and its connection to star trek as a cultural storytelling artifact and the post-cold-war/end-of-ww2-historical-narrative-arc world context of the 90s on rewatch i really appreciate mulgrew's attempts to squeeze anything she can out of the awful writing, although she gives up sometime in season 4 Breakfast All Day has issued a correction as of 20:37 on Sep 7, 2020 |
