Happy to hear that Killing Eve is having a good start to the new season :buddy:

Also I’m a few episodes into Raised by Wolves and I can’t stop thinking about how expensive it looks. Like movie-level expensive. Even when I’m not 100% sure what’s happening it’s nice to look at. I’ve read here that it starts to suck after awhile but I’m going to stick with it as long as my lovely attention span lets me

At no point have I thought "This is starting to suck" with Raised by Wolves. Season 1 ends on a strong note and I really enjoyed season 2.

It never starts to suck. If anything, it gets better. And actually answers some questions in s2

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


The ending of Season 1 was polarizing because even for how zany season 1 was, it kinda really went off the rails for the ending. But, they just kinda rolled with that and while it's an element for Season 2 and drives some plot, it actually doesn't take up a lot of screen time.

I would say that season 2 of Raised By Wolves doesn't look as good as season 1 which is probably due to them having to do a lot more with the money they had.

i'll probably watch more of the Halo show than that thing. even if GoT didn't poo poo the bed, a prequel is the last thing I'd want after.

has anyone ever been excited for the prequel of something in lieu of a sequel? I remember as a kid they announced Episode 1 and people were excited for new Star Wars, but I don't think anyone actually wanted to see the story of baby vader, even as a kid who it was aimed at, was not interested.

quote:

“Yellowjackets” star Ella Purnell has scored a lead role in the TV series adaptation of the “Fallout” video game series at Amazon.

The story is set in a world where the future, as envisioned by Americans in the late 1940s, explodes upon itself through a nuclear war in 2077.

Purnell joins previously announced Walton Goggins in the series. Character details are under wraps, but Purnell’s role is described as “upbeat and uncannily direct”.

First episode of Moon Knight was good but it was also you know Oscar Isaac who could make anything interesting.

Especially since King only alludes to the origin in the books, and it's some kind of ancient Lovecraftian unknowable transdimensional force of evil. It wasn't a loving little boy who wanted to be a clown but his daddy told him he'd never join the circus or something. The clown form is incidental to the It.

Also heavily inspired by a similar origin for Cooger and Dark in Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Haven't seen the first Moon Knight yet but recommend the low budget sci-fi films two of its directors, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, have made and which they wrote, directed, starred in, and did the cinematography for. My favorite was The Endless but Synchronic, which seems to have the highest budget and which is an exception to the 'starred in' rule, has a really great performance by Anthony Mackie. Worth noting that my sister, who has more refined taste than I do, thought The Endless was crazy boring.

Besides the Star Wars prequels, what comes to mind are Star Trek 09 and The Hobbit.

Speaking of Trek, Strange New Worlds is kind of a prequel and I feel like a lot of Trekkies seem pretty excited for it.

I will only accept a Pennywise "origin" if it's made by David Lynch in the style of Episode 8 of the Return, and there is an option for a picture-in-picture of horrified executives on the phone to his assistant fruitlessly begging David to please get on the phone and listen to their notes.

They're also trying to make it seem like it's something of a return to form that everyone's been begging for. NuTrek is always most appealing in this fantasy stage.

It just seems like almost any attempt to try to do cosmic horror goes poorly. So I can't imagine any IT prequel actually nailing the feeling that it should have.

And yeah, seconding The Endless but you should probably watch Resolution first or else a decent bit of The Endless probably won't hit the same. Slight conceptual spoiler I guess, funny enough, both mostly pull off the futility of dealing with a big cosmic horror entity.

Perrineau rocks. I've noticed that, ever since playing Dean in Claws, some of the character's mannerisms have affected his other performances.

The thing he does on From, where he wedges several fingers on his one hand together, and then sorta points away from himself while agitated? That's a thing he used to do constantly on Claws, and not something I remember him ever doing prior. Kinda funny the way that can happen.

Great actor though. His work on Oz, Romeo + Juliet, etc.

I hate prequels, but I'll make an exception for procedurals. Like if someone wanted to do Law and Order: Disco Inferno about homicide rookie Lenny Brisco, I'd be all over it.

TNG is a procedural.

No no no no goddamn it. Defector had a good article about this exact bullshit yesterday

More evil-because-evil-rules villains!!

What the gently caress is this article? He poses that all the best villains are just plain evil and don't have humanising back story and then cites Death Vader (had 3 movies dedicated to his humanised backstory), HAL (not a human), Gordon Gecko (where the sequel provides human backstory/justification of what he's been doing since the first movie) and loving Lecter where every subsequent movie tarnishes and overcomplicates his backstory to ridiculous levels.

Julia seems like a good show if you wanna watch a show about Julia Child with 50-minute episodes. Which I guess I don’t, but Sarah Lancashire is the mum of an old friend, so I had to watch at least one just to check it out (she’s very good).
