If there's ever a Season 2 of Murderville they should get Dick the Birthday Boy on as Space Cop.

Watching Nobody on HBO

I'm so disappointed that it's just John Wick. I was really hoping that between Odenkirk and the fact it's filed under comedy that they'd be kinda spoofing the subgenre.

Like imagine a movie that starts the same way as Nobody / John Wick / Taken / etc., but instead of the elite top assassin or whatever the guy really is just some schmuck and it keeps escalating to where he's, with just a bit of cleverness and luck, haphazardly killing his way through the Russian mob.

If you haven't seen it, I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore has a premise basically along those lines, albeit on a smaller scale. A woman comes home to find her house has been burglarized. She and her weirdly intense goober of a neighbour decide that, since the police won't help, they need to track down the thieves themselves and get her stuff back. They proceed to bumble their way up through the ranks as they break up a petty crime ring, despite being pretty hopelessly out of their depth even with the relatively low stakes.

I thought it was great, but admittedly I'm a sucker for all the weird little movies Elijah Wood makes now that he's got forever money from LOTR and can just do whatever he wants.

I tried watching the original British show it's based on and it would be good but it has a ghastly additional gimmick where all the suspects are terrible impressions of British celebrities. What a nightmare

that sounds terrible

imagine if they did that for this show, will arnett teaming up with conan and kingo impersonators

hmm actually I'd watch that

Well... A bit lower stakes but Blue Ruin might fit the bill. Also Green Room.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I hope WB has the good sense to end the Peacemaker show in one season. At least end the butterfly arc and don't run it into the ground like every loving stream show.

Is the KKK supervillain actually a thing in the comic?

Looks like Jonas Akerlund (of Polar "fame" lmao) shot a Clark Oloffson series with Bill Skarsgard (in Swedish, no less! I love that subtitle poo poo, right into my veins).

It actually looks...good-ish. Maybe it's a good trailer editing but might actually watch this

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


So after all the positive reviews I finally got around to seeing the first few episodes of Peacemaker…

And it’s really good! Another James Gunn hit where you’re like “how did he get away with making this?”

Ultimate Fantastic Four is the only regular superhero comic book series I've ever read. no i don't know why


but it does make me sad that we have all this drat CGI everywhere and we still can't get a loving half decent (by superhero standards) movie w/ the stretch super power. they even changed that one upcoming show to have the main character's power be generic energy beams instead. Lmfao. Ms marvel?

Probably not a thing you can do without it looking goofy as gently caress.

Since these superhero movies are all deathly afraid of not being taken seriously, they won't commit to it.
