I think if a poster needs to clarify a lord of the rings fact they should also be required to post a picture of whatever it is they're talking about for us illiterates. If no photo is available then the poster shall be held liable for drawing one.

Main character is named Bezomir and he's shirtless, 8 feet tall and every fight scene is him swinging a mace around like Sauron and cutting down entire swaths of troops

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


See you laugh but if I were a billionaire, I’d absolutely do exactly what Bezos is doing. Get completely shredded, move to a penthouse suite, and spend your time filming fanfic of your self-insert Lotr character

It would be really awesome if it turned out to be great. Hell, it would be kinda awesome if it turned out to be a complete trainwreck. I'm just a little disappointed that The Expanse had to die so that this could live.

Man, we'd be so lucky to get something cool like that. I have this suspicion that we'll get goat riding dwarves, sonic cannons that deflect arrows and organic TBM machines building orc hyperloop tunnels again

Halfway through Archive 81 now and it's pretty good in the same general area as Midnight Mass etc. but not Mike Flanagan obviously. (It's based off a podcast drama and has James Wan as an EP) Has some "found footage" but only a few minutes here and there... watch it imo....

Yeah I was thinking maybe not the best comparison because of that (there is at least one monologue iirc though) but don't have a lot else I can compare to horror-series wise. It's definitely better than American Horror Story but Lol at that being an accomplishment or worth mention

E: maybe Brand New Cherry Flavor is a better comparison? Whatever. It's a horror series on Netflix and it's not dogshit so slorp it up gorbage lovers

Two episodes in and it's been a good so far. We were apprehensive at first due to the found footage aspect, but they don't overuse it.

Watched a cool series the last few nights called Landscapers on HBO. Stars actual GOATs David Thewlis and Olivia Coleman. It had really interesting direction and looked like it was fun to edit.

That's only like 3 episodes or something right? It looked really good but they made it weekly in the US so I was waiting for it to end and forgot

someone definitely understood how quickly found footage gets annoying. There have been a bunch of scenes where the camera is on the entire time and it only shows from its viewpoint for a couple seconds, purposefully, before returning to normal multi-camera cinematography.

Wife and I just braved the COVID Box to see 5cream (went to a two in the afternoon weekday showing to mitigate risk) and it was really good. They info-dumped everything you needed to know about the series so far in a really clever way, the kills were good, and nobody shouted "evil dies tonight" even once.
