Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.

It stinks that the only version of RRR on Netflix is dubbed into Hindi (the original version is Telugu and that's on a different streaming service) but hell, the movie rules so hard that I'm sure it's still a great time.

Yeah, this is a weird thing and I hope Netflix adds the Telugu version at some point (but I doubt it).

But it does still rule.

Supposedly the original version is exclusive to ZEE5, which is also available now

IDK if I missed this discussion earlier in the thread but Pachinko is really great and Lee Min Ho is one charismatic motherfucker. When I started watching it I wasn't sure how they were going to drag it out for more than one season but now I can easily imagine it going to planned 4 without getting boring.

RRR was incredible. I wasn't expecting it to be as gory as it was though - there's quite a bit of the Mel Gibson approach to action storytelling in there (you gotta suffer to dish it out)

Watched RRR last night, it slaps hard.

I’m a sucker for a scene of two men clasping hands as they flex their bis, and this one has an all time version of that scene.

Just watched the first ep of Prehistoric Planet and it’s so good. This is the show I dreamed of when I was a kid. Can’t wait for the other episodes.

Even if someone doesn't care about LDR they owe it to themselves to at least watch Bad Traveling and Jibaro.

Binged through Love Death Robots 3 in two nights. The low points are a bit like mediocre SCP entries (killer alien thing hunts down badass dudes, a plot that I swear LDR has used before) but the high points are possibly the best in the entire run, Jibaro in particular. And it's all quick so that you can forgive any problems.

If anyone has Arrow (doing a free trial), definitely definitely watch The Legend of the Stardust Brothers. Shades of Rocky Horror, Popstar, Hausu, Happiness of the Katakuris, with dashes of David Lynch and Monty Python. Just incredibly charming, silly, slapdash (the main antagonist is essentially a robot David Bowie created by the Japanese government to pacify teens with 80s pop) with a banger soundtrack.

quote:

In 1985, Macoto Tezka (son of the great manga artist Osamu Tezuka) met musician and TV personality Haruo Chicada who had made a soundtrack to a movie which didn’t actually exist: The Legend of the Stardust Brothers. At the time Macoto was just 22 years old, a film-student with many short experimental films under his belt, but yet to make a feature-debut and of course had the pressure of the TEZUKA name. With Chicada as producer, Tezka then adapted this “fake soundtrack” into the real movie story of “The Stardust Brothers”.
With inspiration from “Phantom of the Paradise” and “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, Tezuka assembled a cast of some of Japan’s most famous musicians of the time, including such greats as Kiyohiko Ozaki, ISSAY, Sunplaza Nakano and Hiroshi Takano, alongside many famous names in Manga such as Monkey Punch (Lupin the 3rd), Shinji Nagashima (Hanaichi Monme), Yosuke Takahashi (Mugen Shinsi) and even many upcoming film directors of the time such as Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Tokyo Sonata) and Daihachi Yoshida (The Kirishima Thing). The resulting film “The Legend of the Stardust Brothers” is the exact definition of a cult film. Despite the huge array of talent on board with a large budget, the film is totally unknown even to this day in both Japan and worldwide.

The dinosaur thing on Apple+ is super fun but it's kind of corny that it's listed as a documentary. Also the CGI is mostly very good but not good enough to just kind of forget it it's a cartoon most of the time.

I feel like the Mosasaur is the new dinosaur hotness now that Jurassic World gave it the Jurassic treatment and made it 5 times bigger than it actually was. Even prehistoric planet's claims of it being twice the size of a T-rex seems weird to me, but I am not a paleontologist or anything. Every museum seems to have a one of their skeletons on display and they are big but not that big.

Still whatever, it's a faux planet earth with dinosaurs. I'm gonna be watching the hell out the whole thing.

How would you prefer them to make a dinosaur documentary?

If you want talking heads in a museum, we've gotten a million of those and they suck. They're inherently dry and academic and keep the subject at arms length. In certain ways it's a barrier to learning, limiting the ability for the viewer to see them as real animals, and it's a large part of why the public perception of them is still as monsters from a fantasy world.

This is no different than Walking with Dinosaurs, Dinosaur!, or dozens of other ambitious dino docs of the past 50 years. There's thousands of speculative documentaries out there on any number of scientific subjects that can't be easily or fully captured on film, from deep space to cellular biology to the atomic world to any historical subject before the invention of photography.

Is any documentary about Ancient Rome that uses reenactments not a documentary to you? Any documentary about the geologic makeup of the moons of our solar system just fantasy in your book? It's ridiculous to dismiss all of those as "not documentaries" because you've created your own artificially limited definition.

Anyway, I watched the first episode and it's cute, but I do wish the narration went into more detail about the discoveries that led to out understanding of what's depicted on screen.

Attenborough at the end said to go to the show page to learn more about the science, but I haven't been able to find that. I did, however, find this website, which is posting a brief scientific assessment of each episode with links to studies (this is for the first ep, others will presumably follow):

Awesome, I'll definitely check that out. I heard a reviewer mention that the science companion piece was about 5 minutes long and very surface level, which is a big disappointment. I do watch a lot of short nature docs on YouTube that are very dry but in-depth, including dinosaur ones, so my expectations for what Apple wants to put out for the masses may be unrealistic.

I just think it should be called a "speculamentary" or something (probably a less stupid name would be better). Surely they will make a new one in a decade and the science surrounding dinosaurs will have changed so much half of it will look dated, just like every previous dino doc. I know they are using a mix of existing ecosystems, fossil records etc. so it's not just making poo poo up on the fly, but no one is ever going to know what it was like in the prehistoric era so I think "documentary" as a tag is off.

Even with something like ancient Rome/Egypt it's a bit spotty but at least we have a lot more to go off of. Even those are full of speculation though so I'd put them in the same category. I think of a documentary as something that documents reality, not something that speculates about reality.
