I'm so scared that this adaptation of Paper Girls on Amazon is gonna just go "Stranger Things, but g-g-g-girls," since the comic series was so loving good. Fingers crossed...

The new HBO Paul Newman/Joanne Woodward docuseries by Ethan Hawke is one of the best things ever.

Finished the first season of The Witcher. Show seems to be a bit rough, but Henry Cavill is fun in the role.

Ray Stevenson! I knew he looked familiar but couldn't place him. I know him as The Punisher from the very silly and very fun Punisher War Zone.

The ILM docuseries on disney plus is good, but it's interesting how they spend the first several episodes slowly moving from 1977 to 1993, and then they only briefly discuss the Star Wars prequel series, and then suddenly jump forward to The Mandalorian in 2019. I guess they're just looking to avoid talking about how bad CG could be for a long time there.

RRR is not Bollywood, it's "Tollywood," from Southern India.

One of the interesting bits from The Phantom Menace making of Doc is that they had the actor playing Jar Jar act out the scenes with a rubber suit on and then they also had a cgi team doing a fully animated version. George and crew watch the footage and then realize the cg looks better and lament that they wasted thousands on a really nice looking suit, but then the guy presenting the graphics points out that the rubber suit footage was very valuable because they could see on the actor where the lighting and shadow should be on the rendering. That doc is pretty interesting throughout. I don't know if it's on Disney+ in any way but it's tucked away on the bonus disc on the Blu-ray under a legacy menu.

I'm bored on a Saturday night. Looking for something to watch, movie or series. I'm thinking either some like scifi space drama, like if Foundation was good. Already done The Expanse, love it. Seen classics like 2001 and Event Horizon, and BSG, Star Wars and Star Trek of course. Or maybe a western that has the emotional depth of Red Dead Redemption 2? Maybe that doesn't have a lot of emotional depth, but felt for Arthur by the end of the game. I haven't seen many westerns, couldn't really get into Deadwood.

Watch The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford and chuckle at some of the shots that RDR2 lifted from it wholesale (also it's an incredibly good movie)

I guess they're just looking to avoid talking about how bad CG could be for a long time there. I think also they realise that "we did this effect on a computer" is just not as interesting to watch as someone figuring out how to make a house implode as a practical effect. Also, by 1993 all the main people you are following in the documentary have either been fired or kicked upstairs. It's pretty brutal watching Phil Tippet say in one episode that he found the process of creating stop motion animation so engrossing and meditative it prevented him from committing suicide, to finding out a few episodes later that computer graphics have completely supplanted his job and he has been "promoted" to just explaining to the CGI team how to do what he used to do himself practically. I would definitely recommend the docuseries, even if it potentially glosses over some things, if only because it is so much fun to watch these people discover how to make movie magic in real time. There's also a ton of shots of OT special effects without the Special Edition changes. But once Jurassic Park happens, it's game over.

Grey man was weird. Didn’t seem to have a climax. Train battle was so long I zoned out half way and didn’t know what happened at the end. Seemed to suffer from Netflix syndrome: all the shine and budget but none of the heart. A fiendishly hollow film. Seemed to want to do the John wick thing where you’re dropped into a deep and fascinating clandestine world and you just go with it but it didn’t really go far enough to work. Very strange movie.

The ending of RDR2 is based on The Shootist, which while not as depressing as RDR2 but pretty close, is a good watch. Check that out. Otherwise some good depressing westerns: McCabe and Ms Miller Dead Man The Proposition

Yeah I thought it was pretty generic, the plane crash scene was really chaotic and cool though

I often find critics are hyperbolic when they say that some piece of media is "genius" or "brilliant," but this genuinely is, and I only expect it to get more intricate and mind blowing as the season progresses.

In contrast, Prime has stuck Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey on its front page, luring me in, and that is not a good film. To the point that while I'm watching it, I'm trying to explain why I don't enjoy it. It's a movie that's afraid you might start checking your phone, so it slams a new character or a plot twist onscreen every 5 minutes.
