I remember getting real tired with either season 2 or 3 of Stranger Things because everyone was just always screaming and yelling at each other every single conversation it's like calm the gently caress down for two seconds

I liked the first season of Stranger Things but haven't watched the others. It seems like Dark has it in the bag though. I'm halfway through the third season and it doesn't seem like anything has gone off the rails yet.

i lost interest after season two of stranger things because the climax was really clumsily railroaded compared to the first season and everything ive heard about the subsequent two just leads me to believe they fired whoever was in charge of pacing the script

Okay, magic is real. Okay, other dimensions exist. Okay monsters are real, and they're killing people. I understand that it's a stressful situation. But all that hollering doesn't help anyone!

Mars Attacks is only good for the deaths/crazy surgeries they give to famous celebrities. The rest of the movie is forgettable besides the annoying song/note, and you could probably watch a 5-minute compilation clip on youtube to get everything good out of it.

I just read the wiki page, and I would have liked to have seen the version where the aliens are stop motion animated and the effects are janky as gently caress on purpose.

I've always liked the story that Team America starting with an obviously terrible (in-universe) marionette show prompted an executive at a test screening to stand up and shout "My God, they hosed us!"

Cpt_Obvious posted:Finish Dark so I have someone to bitch about the third season to. Dark finale spoilers: Just finished it. In the last episode I was sure that the ending was going to be very bleak in that Jonas and Martha, in traveling to the Origin World, would cause Tannhaus' family to crash and die. Basically capital D Determinism smacking everyone and reinforcing the interdependent, inescapable timeloops. Still need to get things straight in my head as-is but it seems like the show may have broken its own rules with the ending. I'm not totally sure though.

MeatwadIsGod posted:Dark finale spoilers: I thought the EXACT same thing and it would have been a much more fitting ending imo. I thought there some more interesting meta aspects to how it wrapped up though specifically how the deterministic nature of the loop reflected how each character was locked into a pre-written story arc, but also came to realize it over the course of their development. Of course the tragic hero and heroine were always bound to their fates by the nature of their own characters, and obviously you can’t shoot Adam because he has to live to advance the plot. Likewise The Son existed simply because he needed to to fulfill his role in the story for it to “work” and was essentially a nameless thing brought into being solely for that purpose. I thought it was sort of a cool take on “what if the characters in a story realize they’re trapped in a story” with the time travel aspect as a mechanism for making that possible without being too corny

MeatwadIsGod posted:Dark finale spoilers: Yeah, the show has a really hard-core deterministic theme which I think the final season broke really hard. It violated a whole bunch of its own rules which imo is a cardinal sin for sci fi. Also, there were entire scenes that were just exposition dumps where Adam or eve explain their entire plan and that really hurt the feeling of mystery the show evoked with its slow and painful plot reveals. The last season very much felt like a whole different crew of writers had gotten hold of the show and just vomited all the plot notes from the last season onto the screen so they could tell this weird tangential story about an alternate world instead of clearly wrapping up the many plot threads left over. Even so, I think it's still a great show and wish more people would watch it.

Huh. Based on the historical basis for the movie, the Woman King sounds like it'll be a bit of a trip. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahomey_Amazons quote:In 1864, Captain Sir Richard F. Burton documented over two thousand masculine tribeswomen serving as warriors and reported how two-thirds of them were maidens with passions and love between each other. He also mentioned “a corps of prostitutes” kept for the Amazons’ use. Several years earlier, in 1850, English naval officer Frederick Forbes wrote down his own observations: “The Amazons are not supposed to marry, and, by their own statement, they have changed their sex. ‘We are men,’ they say, ‘not women.’ All dress alike, diet alike, and male and female emulate each other: what the males do, the Amazons will endeavour to surpass.” One Amazon chief asserted her gender transformation as follows: “As the blacksmith takes an iron bar and by fire changes its fashion, so we have changed our nature. We are no longer women, we are men.” The Amazon she-warriors assured victory to an entire line of Dahomey kings for nearly three centuries from the 1600s onward. At their peak in the early nineteenth century, Amazon women numbered as high as six thousand and comprised nearly a third of the Dahomey army.
