Is the early '00s TV series Ed streaming anywhere? It's nigh impossible to figure out, given the title of the show is so short.

The Modern Leper posted:Watching Johnny Mnemonic (on Netflix) for the first time. What a wild effort to do a straight faced live-action anime. It doesn't take long to read Burning Chrome. It also shouldn't take away from your enjoyment. Unfortunately this exists. https://williamgibson.fandom.com/wiki/New_Rose_Hotel?msclkid=a3fb8f15c11711ec984bd3d28fde4bd3

Unfortunately? I consider New Rose Hotel is one of the greatest cyberpunk short stories ever, what's unfortunate about that?

Just caught the new Batman as well and liked it quite a bit. Arguably better than the Nolan movies, and certainly better than the Snyder one. I think the trick that made this one work is that it's a crime movie first, and a batman movie second. Riddler is framed like just a regular old (if weird) serial killer that could reasonably end up in any regular crime plot, and the whole thing feels more like a noir detective movie than a superhero movie. Batman himself is portrayed as pretty much just a guy, capable and heroic, but also fallible and a little awkward. It doesn't wank about the myth about the superhuman hero billionaire and his epic nemeses, and is better for it. It was also pretty well paced, didn't feel like it dragged despite being almost three hours long. Though I gotta say, it sure felt like the whole bomb/shooting spree subplot was somewhat awkwardly tacked on because the writers worried that the Riddler would've appeared too sympathetic otherwise. Which, in fairness, he totally would have. The guy achieved more in a couple of weeks than Batman did in two years.

The only chatter I've heard about him is that some of the metadata on the Olivia Wilde photos that leaked a few months ago points to him being the one that leaked them. The timing during their custody hearings certainly didn't help the look either.

I like Brolin completely trying to ignore his cosmic hole and having no idea what it's deal is in Outer Range despite getting shoved down into an alternate Nazi world by his rambler and then shot in the leg after being told by his alternaye reality wife that he's dead and has to run and diving back into the cosmic hole under insane amounts of gunfire from A Military. He's really not concerned. He's just like 'well that was a thing but I got a ranch to run and a family to help out' He just approaches his rambler and is like "hey... cut that out" The Peccadillo fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Apr 22, 2022 |

I spent the whole season baffled as to why he was being a giant douchebag and then when he revealed why, I just laughed at what a needy, insecure self important baby he was. I wish the reveal at the end was him working at Arby's. I have no interest in seeing his redemption arc next season because I don't think he deserves it. He was a good character in season 1 too. I think they just ruined him.

Did not care for The Batman. Mashup of a Se7en style crime suspense with superhero genre sort of landed us with the worst of both worlds. Not very logically consistent and totally lacking the depth of story to justify a 3 hour runtime. Worse than all that, it was mostly pretty boring. Seriously, how are we supposed to reconcile 20% of all law enforcement in the city being on a gangster's payroll going unseen by Batman despite his doing his crime fighting bit for 2 years? Whole plot felt like a first draft they didn't bother to flesh out or reconcile inconsistencies. Acting was decent, but in service to nothing.

I do kinda wonder if his arc is a direct response from the writers to the critics of the show saying theres no conflict etc. mid season was a big fumble on his character, but I think they set him up as a decent foil for season 3. getting there was painful tho

We speed-binged through the Nick Lachey reality shows on Netflix, and wow, I'm honestly impressed by how trashy they are. I wouldn't really recommend them to anyone, but if trash TV is your thing you'll probably find them entertaining at least. They are kind of odd in that it's like the producers can't help breaking the 4th wall, Jerry Springer or pro-wrestling style, that this poo poo is fake. But at the same time, most of the cast is desperately trying to pretend things are real, and normal. Add on they overall seem pretty poorly produced and you get some wild trainwrecks.

I watched Patton Oswalt's Annihilation special for the first time in a few years and drat that last half with him alternating between talking about his wife dying and him and his daughter dealing with it and doing actual jokes is a ride. I was tearing up then laughing every couple minutes, it's like emotionally draining but in a good way.

If we're talking comedy specials, Rothaniel on HBO is really something special. It's more a one man show/"special television event" than a stand up special, but what a journey. Very similar tonal shifts as Annihilation, if that vibes with you. EDIT: Kotaro Lives Alone is enjoyable enough, but it swings between painfully adorable and brutally sad in a way that's frankly disorienting.

I watched the first 40 minutes of Batman and burst out laughing at 2-3 scenes that were definitely not meant to be funny. The movie was so self serious, it played like parody for me. Like the "vengeance" line lmao how far up your own rear end are you bro. I feel like I should watch the rest just to know, but God I did not like that first half hour at all.

If you process the movie as parodying a more serious take of Batman '66, a lot of the choices start to make a whole lot more sense. Penguin is the best thing about the movie though, everything else is whatever imo.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:It's not that I necessarily like Netflix's system that much, but it's so much better than HBO's. At least with Netflix I can gently caress around in one of their little categories pretty easily, even if they occasionally insist that I'd like to watch Hush because I liked Bob's Burgers. With HBO it either needs to be on my list, a new series or one of the month's highlights. If not, then congrats, you can just browse through every movie in a broad genre through a laggy app. i am legitimately certain that these apps are made like that on purpose because the companies have got it into their heads that, somehow, it would be bad for business if people could just easily watch all the poo poo on the app. like, they specifically don't want people watching "old" movies or something?

Inspector Hound posted:It's constructed to funnel people to new stuff while obfuscating the amount of content actually available Like when Netflix switched to mostly original content it made sense to hide the small amount of content, but now they would surely be served better by promoting their back catalog more effectively. If people cancel their subscriptions because they don't realize there's other content they might be interested in, that's not actually helping.

mystes posted:Does that actually make sense though? Internal politics have something to do with this- sure, in theory the company should only care about getting more subscribers (though in Netflix's case they kinda hit their effective peak in North America a while ago, anyone who was going to be a Netflix customer either is or actively decided not to be), but you're an executive, you greenlighted this series, you want to make sure it's one that's getting lots of views so that your decision to greenlight it is viewed as good and correct. And that other series was the last guy's big thing, you don't care about that, let it rot. And third parties? Those could go away whenever their contract runs out, The Office did, Friends did, etc., you'll give the stuff that's popular a good placement but you're not gonna rely on it.
