DesertIslandHermit posted:It's better when a show has one episode where it's hunting down a criminal with plenty of martial arts and then another episode is a horror where everyone nearly gets killed by a space fungus monster that gets eaten by the wacky kid going 'Yum pudding'. Tone consistency be damned. Yeah the varying tone is what gives Bebop its charm, it allows it to do a bunch of different storylines and put the characters in both humorous and dramatic situations. It also helps that the tone is consistent across a single episode so it doesn't give that bad of a whiplash when they do something completely different the episode after that uber_stoat posted:this thing ain't got no reason to live.

Honestly that's a pretty good deal, KPop is popular enough that the kiddies have probably run into it and Sesame Street by design is supposed to have a diverse cross section of city dwellers Judakel posted:I am speaking about the current concern over Asian hate which seems largely focused on cultural solutions that do not address the source of the problem. I find myself extremely cynical over something that is good simply because no one concerned about it seems to be calling out the real cause, probably for fear of being seen as pro-China. This is a good point tho Feldegast42 has issued a correction as of 21:34 on Nov 15, 2021 |

Mr Hootington posted:The puppets have ethnicity? Sesame street was explicitly aimed at kids in depressed inner cities, so in the wider Henson universe it's a show about a muppet ghetto. Presumably a Korean Muppet is just a muppet also from Korea.

I'm watching Midnight Mass, pretty good so far, liking it a lot. But there's this one thing that chaps my rear end - why the hell there's this one actress in very obvious old lady makeup, very obviously trying very hard for an old lady voice. Like cmon, wtf is this. Like idk, I'm only 2 eps in, maybe she'll be magically getting young and hot later, or there's going to be some important flashback or some poo poo, but please. Just hire a real older actress, what even is this poo poo. This never works, it's always awful, why do this.

yeah ok, started ep 3 and right from the get go there's a dude in old man makeup as well. so i'm guessing some magic poo poo is going to happen But still, I hate this poo poo, it looks awful. Just hire real actors that kinda look like eachother, it's fine. And here it's super bad, because they both have very obvious babyfaces under the makeup, lol, no old person has a face that plump.

The old makeup doesn't even look like the person at all, the face looks completely different from all the poo poo they have caked on there. So if the point was realism, big miss there. Also the whole body movement, voice, gait, everything felt so awkward I know it's a stupid thing to focus on, but I just hate it, it takes me out every time. Again, could have easily got a real, vaguely similar older actor and it would be lightyears better.

speaking of dune josh brolin would be a good gendo also agree zendaya would be better as rei (based on dune) and hey just swapping them around awkwafina might not be too bad an asuka alternatively, anya taylor joy as rei and the redhead girl from stranger things as asuka zoe saldana as ristuko? idk if she can act well but ali wong has misato energy from what i've seen of her standup if you wanted to do black shinji/gendo, ashton sanders (middle chiron in moonlight) as shinji and forest whitaker as gendo

Oh it's Snyder chat time again, is it?  I just saw Red Notice, it's exactly the kind of movie you'd expect it to be. The rock and Ryan reynolds play the one character they know how to play, and Gal...can't even manage that. But the action comedy routine is kinda funny so it averages out to an alright movie. Oh also, Arcane is a pretty cool looking show, it's worth watching for the eyecandy alone.

reading the quiet american again for the first time in a decade and having about the same reaction i did the first time i read it which is that the main character is a racist sexpat pedophile and its disturbing how were expected to overlook this because he has basically the closest thing to a non monstrous opinion a white person can have about vietnam in the fifties

I'm happy for him getting his own film franchise with Knives Out. He could probably do his own sci-fi adventure without needing Star Wars. Daniel Craig in space.

it's crazy that Tony Stark is the big uberhero from the marvel universe because, even in that film universe, he's like one of the worst villains like he makes a "protective" robot AI that is supposed to act above the law to enforce his preferred version of the social order and it leads to the total destruction of an Eastern European country. this is considered to be kind of bad but mostly just a little oopsie cause it was done with noble intentions. angry people from the ruined country turn up later throughout the films as one-dimensional villains
