the fundamental problem with the Wheel of Time is that Jordan was so successful he was able to dictate to his publisher that his wife should be his editor and then the amount of unnecessary viewpoint characters ballooned while the time covered in each continued to shrink to nothing while the page count stayed the same but The Magicians and The Expanse were also bad and turned into great TV shows, so we'll see what happens I'm curious to see how the show deals with the very Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus attitude towards gender roles, which is baked into the magic system itself. especially since one of the male villain characters gets killed off by the hero and then is resurrected by satan in a female body but can still use male magic.

landscapers on hbo is a delight i will warn you that it’s a crime drama of sorts, but it is definitely not a procedural, and the cops are not at all heroic

I stopped reading a few chapters into book 4, which apparently everybody agrees is the worst book in the series of 9 books the first three were at best adequate. overly long, not particularly innovative, the viewpoint character was an insufferable idiot, etc. it turns out if you trim all the fat from the books to make eight TV episodes and you don't have to listen to the protagonist's internal monologue, the story gets much better

started blind watching Hellbound after I saw the title mentioned somewhere (maybe here) but couldn’t remember anything else about it. wasn’t sure what I was expecting based on the title, but I sure as gently caress wasn’t expecting this. two episodes in, it’s awesome, really fun and well acted. I won’t say any more cause I think going in not knowing poo poo was a fantastic experience, but if you read this thread there’s a real good chance you’ll enjoy it. don’t feel bad about bailing if it doesn’t hook you in the first 7-10 minutes though, by that point you’ve got a pretty good representation of what the show is

like the best example of fully gratuitous nudity I can think of is the coed showers in Starship Troopers. there’s no need for it at all, you could have that scene anywhere, but it’s an excuse to get boobs and butts in. studio probably wouldn’t let anyone hang dong cause they’re cowards

that scene is not gratuitous in the slightest. all of our characters are so brainwashed by the military-fascist society they live in that they can have a big group shower with a bunch of young hot people, and rather than anyone showing a hint of arousal, they all just talk about their duty to the state. it might be the most pivotal scene in the movie.

I mean that might be the case realistically but in the context of a movie where michael ironside has to order rico to have sex I think the significance of the shower scene is quite clear e: to be clear I agree with indigi about everything else, just not that this example is really gratuitous

I think the scene is intended to be somewhat shocking to the viewer and highlight the difference from what we would expect from teenagers, but I'm just saying the fact that they have coed showers is not inherently a indictment of their culture.

yeah, of course not. the indictment of their culture is that they would rather serve the state than gently caress each other.

mystes posted:I feel like there was at least one hair readjustment at some point during the season but I can't remember when and I might be making it up. quote:In a 2016 interview, Casper Van Dien revealed in an interview about a funny incident when he was picking up his two daughters from school, "I went by the line at school to pick up my kids. You know, you drive up to the school and when I get there and there are these six 10 and 8 year old boys hanging out with my daughters. I pull up in the line and the boys go, 'Johnny Rico! Why didn't you tell us your dad was Johnny Rico?' And I said, 'What are you boys doing watching STARSHIP TROOPERS?' And they said, 'Our dads made us watch it with them!' Then my daughters get in the car and my 10-year-old says, 'Dad, were you really naked in STARSHIP TROOPERS?' And I said, 'Yeah,' and she said, 'How could you do that to me?!' Then my 8-year-old says, 'Wait, like naked naked?' And I said "Yup," and she said, 'Oh my God, my life is ruined!' That was the longest three minute ride home I have had in my life."
