Forgot about that lol

For as bad as the last couple of seasons of GOT were, I think the way it ended is a work of (mostly accidental) genius for just how cynical it came across. Just about every family who was in power at the start of the show is still in power, and the closest thing the show had to a unabashed good guy (and the rightful king!) gets sold out by his family and peers after doing their dirty work, because it's politically convenient for everyone else. Meanwhile millions of people died in a years-long war that didn't really change much. I'm sad that most people seemingly didn't notice all of this. That cynicism was something that the show leaned into heavily at the beginning but had mostly gotten away from by the end when it became a fairly cut and dry good vs evil thing.

E: oh yeah, and everyone elected an amoral demigod to run the kingdom at the end. Whoops!

All the people who are bitter at GRRM for not making another book, will like it. General audiences are still pissed at ending of the first show, so they'll skip.




My folks watched the Avatar movie at home one time, and noticed a lot more story stuff that put them off.
The sequel won't have that zeitgeist the original had because all that pretty 2009 cgi, isn't as special any more.
But people are going to put out more money to see it, but less people are going to see it.


Then there will probably an avatar television series about the navi clones staring an army or some poo poo.

i watch whiplash about once a year. i know it's not Accurate Jazz Documentary but i love jk simmons so much and he dunked it in this one

whiplash is such a banger. i find the ending to be super interesting. most people seem to interpret it as a happy ending but i always saw it as super dark. in the end jk simmons wins, and his monstrous methods are vindicated. the end justified the means. you can see it on the horror on paul reisers face

thinking that miles being completely in simmons thrall at the end is good is such a lib thing as well. its like those news stories about the single mom with 3 kids that has to walk barefoot for 5 miles to get to work and the message isnt "this is incredibly hosed up" but instead its "wow look at their hard working spirit!"

the Doctor Strange 2 story is a complete loving mess but the visuals are good and the kid is a good actor, plus I could always use more Benedict Wong in my life

e: I appreciate the lengths Sam Raimi went to to make this have a horror movie vibe in parts but they should have gone all the way with it imo

postman is kind of socialist but its.more prescient political commentary is about how a minor black character does nearly all of the actual work offscreen because he chooses to believe an obviously bullshit story about american exceptionalism and then lets.the white grifter take credit when his goofy as hell plan inexplicably wotks

it was a really expensive production because they actually shot it on the water in actual boats, no one would pay to do that today and it sucks because there's a verisimilitude that you'll never get with post-production effects

yeah I think so. the only place you could possibly pull it off is a tv miniseries or something.

there's totally a place for eggers approach imo, but i guess the northman didn't even do that well
