Not sure where to put this.
There is no farming thread, and the number thread, or the musk thread might think it's neat?

Looks pretty fake. Can't wait to see the article again in six months.

The entire scene of Darth Vader going apeshit on rebels was worth it alone.

Really amazing sequence that shows an understanding of the character and a commitment to take it seriously.

I think RLM has mentioned this a few times, but there’s this trend in movies to undermine their own characters and stories with Whedon dialogue to show they don’t take it too seriously. It’s nice to have a break from that.

No matter what you believe, I don't believe in you.

watched altered carbon and s2 is clearly a different team entirely. all the nudity's gone, the ending sucks, way more action-focused and yet the action's worse. edgar allen poe and quellcrist falconer try to hold it together but s2's just a mess. also goddamn is the ending stupid.

as an huge AC s1 fan, like i thought it was some of the best tv made recently, i was so loving angry at s2. it just sucked poo poo and mackey wasn't good at all in it either, infact i think he was real bad. it was so lazy, budget seemed to be 1/10th, and mostly farting around in some real lovely cheap sets and vancouver forests. and yeah no fun in it at all

real shame because S1 was really loving magical and good. the whole transhumanism dystopia capital-hellscape in a neo-noir setting and dope lighting and sets was just so cool. it didn't explore the setting as much as it could have, but it oozed enough from the background. kinneman and ortega's chemistry was real good too

try smoking a lot of weed and watch AC s1 at 1am sometime if you haven't already seen it.

Choose this life you're on your own
So I saw the first two episodes of Righteous Gemstones, Season 2.

I liked the first season enough. At first, it seemed like the show was gonna veer towards turning into Succession, but religious. Thankfully, the ending of the second episode puts a damper to that. I'm pretty interested in how this turns out.

I like how they sort of hint at the pandemic, but still let their congregation gather maskless at church, which is totally in line with Megachurches.

Eric Andre and Eric Roberts are both great antagonists this season, and Edi Patterson continues to steal the show. That rant accusing Eli of sleeping with Eric Robert's character was incredible.

Still waiting on Baby Billy.

E: Jason Schwartzman got a bit chubby.

book watchmen is genuine literature, film watchmen is a fun pulpy translation that doesn't quite convey the same sense of cold war doom given that it was made 20 years too late, but it does have nipples on the owlsuit so who's to say

Synder's completely misses the point of the book though. He thought the whole reason the book was good is because it popularized violence and sex in comic books.

this idea has certainly become a popular one but i don't really think it holds up; if you thought that the point of say, the alley fight scene was that dan and laurie are extremely cool and badass, then you'd probably separate it from the scene where dr manhatten gets told he gave a load of people cancer. you'd also probably have dan's incredible nerd hairdo look cool and sexy by the end of the fight, rather than sweaty and matted.

the climax on the other hand is a definite change that there are arguments for and against - making the threat to the world an american project gone rogue has major 9/11 energy that doesn't quite gel with the rest of the film
