Reacher is dumb dad-thriller TV. He and his friends casually assault people but either onlookers let it go or "they won't press charges because ...". There's gunfights and dead bodies but they just casually cover them up. Everyone gets a chance to tell their sad story about their father / wife / brother etc. Reacher regularly just recites the plot out loud so you know what's happening. And it's oddly entertaining.

Can’t believe The Power of the Dog was nominated for so many Oscars. Especially from a story perspective was complete student film material, in my opinion.

It was a slog. I don’t think it was a horrible film, but God, it felt like a slog.

Is Godzilla v Kong as full of excrutiating quips as King of Monsters cuz jfc the latter was some excrutiating dogshit. The tendency in the wake of the MCU's success to cram in cutesy dork rear end Whedon quips every other line in action blockbusters is loving torture. The fortune cookie line oh my god. No moment is allowed any seriousness or gravitas for longer than ten seconds before some dude is like "Uhh yeah, so that happened." I get that they're stupid giant monster movies so it doesn't have to be entirely serious but that poo poo was torture.

I really enjoyed KIMI on HBO Max. The climax was incredible and even though I’ve been pining for a mashup of the final girl trope and weaponized home automation, it caught me completely off guard. Absolute riot, highly recommend.

The Power of the Dog was fine, but for the story to work for me, Cumberbatch’s character needed to be way more menacing. He never went higher than the level of “unpleasant jerk”.

KIMI is great and it's pretty amazing that Zoe Kravitz is capable of acting like a total nerd despite being, well, zoe kravitz

I'm starting to get into Wheel of Time now, too. It had a pretty slow start, but as of episode 4 I'm warming up to it. The main problem I've got with it at this point is that the blond guy has extreme Designated Protagonist Syndrome and I don't give a single poo poo about what happens to him or is rear end in a top hat friend. But at least so far he's not taking up too much time and the other plots and characters are interesting enough, so I'm hoping that'll keep up.

It wasn't bad, but it was a chore to finish (took 3 different sittings for me). I understand it getting all the nominations because "OMG THEMES" and the older voters by default leaning towards quiet dramas because of them coming across as more "dignified" and thus "objectively better," but aside from Cumberbatch's fits of psychopathy, there is close to zero entertainment value in this thing.

Right!! Maybe I have just worked around too many agro morons like that but I just kind of rolled my eyes at him a lot. Still a good movie with some great acting.

Yeah, I didn’t know much about it beforehand but some of the reviews made it sound like he was supposed to be unhinged or just completely awful. I wouldn’t say it was to the film’s detriment that he wasn’t, but it was definitely very different from what I thought it would be.

Love is Blind is like the worst thing I have ever watched and I'm still watching for some reason. I don't watch a lot of garbage tier reality TV so maybe this is par for the course. It's probably very unremarkable.

I watch a lot of garbage tier TV and LIB takes the cringe/second hand embarrassment to another level. It's so loving uncomfortable. People pouring their hearts out while the audience *knows* the person on the other side is just looking for the right moment to break things off. It's insane.

I think I'm on the 4th ep? It's sort fascinating how bad it is. First off they trot out all of these people and 1/3rd of them never see any screen time beyond their introductions. They aren't shown going on "dates" or anything. They are just sort of there and gone. I don't know why they were in the show to begin with. Then you have the people who actually get "engaged" and most of them just seem insanely desperate and broken , while the rest are just there for reality show clout. Every single engagement has something catastrophically wrong with it except one, which is the lady who used to be fat and the very sensitive guy (one of them there's a lot) who reminds me of a lamer version of BJ from Gemstones. They both just seem like they are happy to find a warm body, godspeed to both of them. The last ep I watched was the one where they get everyone poo poo canned in paradise and everything is going to hell. Like, you can tell the producers legit got all of them as drunk as possible to stir up maximum poo poo and now everyone is crying. meanwhile the resident non host from New Kids on the Block pops in occasionally to assure the audience that this is in fact "scientifically proven" to be a legit way to find a spouse. its the worst thing I have ever watched I'm going to watch it all.

It is the first reality show I have watched in like 10+ years (if you don't count Terrace House) and it is really bad, but yet I keep watching it.

Can anybody explain why the Gilded Age on HBO looks the way it does? Not necessarily the backgrounds, but all the actors (costumes and all) look all washed out, like every scene was filmed on green screen and the lighting wasn't matched.

That has been a major complaint from critics and I wholeheartedly agree. Still I enjoy the show as a new version of upstairs/downstairs that Fellowes is famous for. Despite its flaws (there are lots of them) I am still a sucker for Downton Abbey, but this genre peaked with Gosford Park.

Haven't watched The Gilded Age, but it's possible that some it was filmed just so. I watched the pilot of the show Grand Crew, and a number of the early bar scenes were very clearly shot on green screen before they settle on the final wine bar setting for the series.

Quick question about Kimi why were there two recordings of the attack? The partial one she hears initially and then the version that starts when the killers enter the home?

The 2nd is after she gets the admin password to access to all of the recordings from that user. Presumable the 2nd one didn't trigger any transcription errors.

But why did the Kimi device create two recordings? Shouldn't the entirety of the attack have been on one recording?

Oh hey a show based on a video game! Those always go well  On a different note I finally got around to watching a few Yellowstone episodes and that show is complete rear end. I saw a guy on a horse lasso a dude around the neck driving a truck from an impossible angle, a guy run straight at a dude firing a gun from 30 feet away and not get shot and then beat up the guy with a gun with a branding iron. And Kevin Costner talking about horses and some other poo poo in his best Heisenberg voice. It's pretty much boomer porn so I get why it's popular but wow.

So wait apparently the first, distorted recording was of the initial sexual assault, and then the second longer one was the murder. I was under the impression that both recordings were of the murder, not two separate attacks.

The long recording is everything that the victim recorded, and the shorter one is an excerpt that was automatically generated by the Kimi device for their algorithm improvement human correction team. If you had a fifteen minute recording with five garbled seconds, you'd only want to pull those five seconds with some context buffer on either side.

This is correct The first snippet was flagged, most likely to the voices being unintelligible, the second clip was found once she had full access to the device.
