I’m at a hotel and they have hbo comedy channel and it’s awesome. Like ifc was in the early 2000s. No ads and the programming has been really good. Better than Netflix binging for sure

I want to watch Ms Marvel because I liked the comics but a few things bug me: 1. Them chickening out of using her actual powers 2. I can't imagine not hurling at the self praise for the Avengers in the show. I don't know if #2 is true or not but I really can't stand the thought of watching a show pretend the Avengers is the best thing in the world. Do they tone that part down at all?

Just as HBO Max started promoting the Anthony Bourdain documentary, they took down all but the first season of Parts Unknown. Also, the new version of Father of the Bride is horrible. But also apparently HBO Max's most watched original content ever.

Timby posted:I don't get the whining about ads. The reason they have to put ads on their content is because they are spending millions on trash that they cancel after 1 season because an algorithm told them it would be a hit. The consumers shouldn’t be punished because of their abysmal business decisions, but they are, so people turn to the easier ad free method when they do.

The vast majority of streaming services are not free, but the trend is heading towards paid content with ads. What are you talking about "supposed to provide poo poo for free"?

Watched the latest bond film on prime. Seemed like the worst Craig bond to me. Rami Malek felt like diet store brand soda as a villain compared to previous actors.

The more i think about a film like Everything Everywhere at Once the more I find its basic bitch sentiments cloying and fake to a near point of vileness. Maybe that's more of a statement of how jaded I am in general but I'm almost glad the film didn't work on me despite my heart being very open to it. There's far more heart, genuine emotion, and reflection of "the Asian experience" in say, RRR's Passion of the Komaram Bheem even with how big and silly of a movie it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VmgpHUld8o

It's very reductive to boil Everything Everywhere All At Once and RRR down to movies about "the Asian experience."

I agree, anyone can live laugh love, not just the Chinese. edit: As for RRR, I don't see how it's reductive to say that it's about the Indian national identity, a subject of profound and complex significance. pospysyl fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Jun 21, 2022 |

You're right, it's also about how much we've lost hope in our institutions on this goshdang hell planet ever since jojujabacca got elected president, googly eyes, and "accepting" your fat gay daughter in the most half-hearted and tedious way possible

Sounds like what you want from a movie starring Chinese actors is something more like The Battle of Chosin Reservoir where the outgunned and outequipped volunteer army heroically fight off the better equipped American invaders. It also contains gloriously over the top action and incredible violence, but no supernatural stuff (because that's outlawed, and also ahistorical), and unlike RRR it doesn't downplay the revolutionary communism of any of its historical figures (because it's funded by the PRC government). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aHDj84CcsY Assepoester fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Jun 21, 2022 |

I watched Titane on Hulu the other day. I liked it a lot and can see why it won all those awards, but I’m not really sure what to say about it other than it’s extremely French. edit: ok, I do have one thing to say and it’s that the scene with the Future Islands song was extremely beautiful. wizardofloneliness fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Jun 22, 2022 |

I just watched RRR yesterday and overall it was a good time but like the other recent 3 hr film about a superhero cop The Batman I feel like they could have easily shaved 30-40 minutes off the runtime and been better for it And I don't even mean all the over-the-top action scenes, most of the exposition scenes could have been halved and it would have been a good call

Yeah agreed, as much as I loved it by the time we get to the childhood flashback i was totally exhausted And they def coulda cut some of the jenny stuff honestly the film's general instinct to give most of the white women (other than Anime Villainess Whip Lady) a pass can get weird, like, did jenny know she was with a kidnapped child???

There are two white female characters in the movie and one is the worst person in the entire movie.

True but the only white people to show any humanity or friendliness are white women (the white lady who asks her psycho soldier biker bf to stop beating Komuram, or like, every white lady at the party being like NO NO LET EM DANCE!!) but I guess that's fair tbh...Jenny just gets a major pass.

I still look forward to what else the Daniels do next, I liked Swiss Army Men and Dicky Long...and Everything Everywhere definitely has a lot of effort crammed into every moment, it's hard to deny it tries hard. Very hard. Whatever they do next will prolly be worth seeing at least. Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Jun 22, 2022 |

Everything Everywhere does a lot of technically impressive stuff and visually looks great, whereas Hamilton is oatmeal mush for neolibs to clap at. It’s not a fair comparison at all.

Yeah there's so much effort put into it by so many talented artists. It really goes for broke. I just didn't click with its heart, humor, or sensibilities past that loud and impressive technical spectacle. I'll actually rewatch it someday whereas you gotta pay me a lot of money to see Hamilton once.

It’s so visually super dense and has such breakneck pacing that I can totally see it not click with someone. I think it’s something that really improves with multiple viewings. I was pretty ambivalent about it at first but it’s grown on me.

I didn't think Everything Everywhere was a life changing masterpiece but I was really entertained by it and thought it was well worth seeing in the cinema. Appreciated it was trying to do something different with the action even if the dramatic moments didn't fully land for me.
