so im watching licorice pizza and i would think the scene where a character is applying yellowface would set off bigger discourse alarm bells than the guy being a racist blowhard but i can never tell what offends these people or if they even watch any of the movies they claim to be mad about

They don't

Though I suspect they don't want to condemn yellowface and cut off a potential escape route of grift

it's ok. I didn't read the books but a lot of stuff felt really off character compared to what I know. I liked season 1 better.

"It’s like ordering a pie and finding it has no filling." was my favorite line out of the first season.

this is my review so far as well. I’m only on ep 3 but it seems very humorless and takes itself more seriously compared to the first season. this poo poo is supposed to be fun, where’s the fun

I just rewatched the first season before I start the second. If the camp is fully gone that's a bummer but it also doesn't always land in season 1 either. Most of the humor around Geralt was when he was still mostly a loner with Jaskier tagging along. It would make sense that early season 2 is a bit more serious since he's finally stepping into the surrogate dad role at least

yeah but surrogate dad daughter dynamics can be incredibly fun and campy, look at Wolverine and Rogue. or Wolverine and Kitty Pryde. or Wolverine and Jubilee.

some of the little moments of levity do come between Geralt and Ciri but idk it doesn’t feel like they’re exploiting it properly

I’ve been thinking about it this morning for some reason and the absolute weakest part of the Sopranos is when Melfi decides to stop seeing Tony cause she read a Psych 101 textbook-level description of sociopaths

the best part of that scene was seeing all the macho witchers go from “she ain’t got the stuff” to “GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME GIRL YOU CAN DO THIS” over the course of like two cuts. I thought that was really cute and genuine, if predictable

Keeping the pacing from the books was certainly not a good decision in the WOT show. Glad it's starting to pick up now though.

isn't the online series done by the original writer of the books who hated the way the videos games portrayed geralt?

I thought he was salty that he underestimated how much the games would make so he's gotten less royalties from it.

Which contrasts with the author of the Metro series, now why hasn't anyone tried adapting that yet? I'd watch a Metro Netflix series

I'm pretty grumpy that the final season of The Expanse didn't end with a longer 10-13 episode season to give it better closure.

I read a couple interviews about the final season and the show runners seemed to believe they’ll get picked up to do the final three books at some point, maybe by a different studio. seems like a long shot at this point unless they somehow have holding deals with the cast already

e: then again everyone thought Bosch was gonna be finished too and Amazon changed their mind on that so who knows. but Bosch probably has a way lower production cost so, i reiterate, who knows.

Watched the first two episodes of The Witcher last night as well. So far both episodes have featured scenes of Geralt drinking and hanging out with people and then later killing a monster. 10/10. Completely forgot what’s going on with Yen.

Nothing after season 2 works because Tony prevaricates for hours on how to solve a problem and then chooses the exact same answer every time: murder

Livia was the true antagonist that made the show compelling

that's too bad. witcher s1 wasn't perfect, namely all the god awful time-skip splicing and time-jumps garbling it far more than it needed to, but henry cavill hamming it up and smirking over lame jokes was the best part

does anyone else think call me by your name is kind of weird and creepy looking back its basically indiana jones romancing whatshername from the first indiana jones movies but its the actual story instead of just backstory also its supposed to be romantic and also the parents think its kind of hot and are totally into it and also the aids crisis is going on so loving the grad student might have literally been a death sentence for the kid

it’s popular nowadays cause it’s hilarious and makes fun of thick-skulled Italian Americans. nobody wants to hang out with any of those people, except Meadow if she’d let you hit

It's the same sort sword and sandals fantasy cheesiness I liked in the first season 1.

No catchy ear worm song that going to make you curse watching the show.
