I was kinda disappointed with Licorice Pizza. It's a fine film, imo kind of forgettable when stacked up in Anderson's overall filmography...considering the sort of range P.T. has shown himself as capable of it was just like...so on the nose to just do more mostly white 70s americana poo poo. Like what Wes did, with both of them it was like conceptually the SNL skit versions of what you'd imagine the Andersons making. You made Punch Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood, The Master, man you can do anything, push yourself.

Doing a breezy teen summer hangout comedy immediately after Phantom Thread makes it even better imho The Bradley Cooper and Sean Penn/Tom Waits scenes were the high points but it's got good vibes all around

Can anybody explain to me why Tully (which I found pretty charming, and I normally find Reitman/Cody stuff to be obnoxious white people poo poo) had an Animal Wrangler (named Jamie Kennedy) and an Animal Coordinator?? Did I miss a scene??? Does Ron Livingston enter periods of musth and need to get hit with elephant tranquilizers every couple hours???

I haven't seen that movie for a while so can't recall if there are any animals in it, but it might be that some animal scenes were shot but cut. Animal wrangler is just someone that comes with ANY onscreen animal to a shoot, could be an elephant, could be a dog or cat, could just be ducks in a pond or insects. Animal coordinator is often someone from a central agency who is responsible for sourcing the animals and their handlers, who are usually independent of the agency. Hence the two different credits.

6 episodes deep into The Sandman and I've got fairly mixed feelings. Loose thoughts: * Dream is largely acted and visualised fine. I mean, he looks a lot of the time like he's cosplaying The Cure, but then so did the original. * It takes a while to get going. There's maybe 3 episodes of worldbuilding and infodumping and solving things with mystical powers before some more interesting smaller stories start up. The diner episode got a lot of praise but I think the following one about the immortal is much better * There's a real whiff of Dr Who in the earlier episodes, a mix of overacting and weird hyper-Englishness as mentioned upthread. SFX are passable if cheap in spots * The various gender / race / whatever swapping that's been done to the story is fine. It's occasionally distracting (if you remember the original well enough), but it doesn't break anything The original Sandman comics get away with a lot based on looks and vibes and so the TV show has a hard job turning that into a show. Mostly, I think it's a success but not a triumph.

I haven't read any of the source material, but I'm enjoying Sandman quite a bit. It feels sorta similar to the Witcher in that I wouldn't describe it as a great show but it is entertaining and the mythology/world is really cool. For me I definitely like it more than the Witcher. Hob episode was my favorite, although I haven't quite finished the season.

Besides hating the overexplaining in the first episode (which gets fixed by episode 3) the one thing that bugs me is that it looks like it’s shot like a tv show. They obviously have a budget, there’s tons of CG effects, but something about the camera and lighting setup makes everything look low budget. There are so many good tv shows that are well shot and look like film, so this puzzles me

After weeks of watching it off and on I've finally seen all of Community. I watched S1 and like....half of S2 when it was new and then fell off, so it was mostly new to me. I heard it got real bad, which is true, but I was surprised by how much it salvages itself in the end. Here's a quick capsule review: Season 1: The best the show will ever be. Dan Harmon trying to push the edges out of a what a sitcom is without breaking the narrative entirely. Chevy Chase is funny and not overtly miserable on screen. Ken Jeong is well used. John Oliver is a character for a few episodes! John Michael Higgins is pretty good! Season 2: Still good, but starting to veer into more gimmick episodes than normal ones. The joke about how they don't know how to use Ken Jeong is funny but the Shirley's baby throughline is feels both too sitcom-wacky but also too old fashioned somehow. A very begrudging paintball sequence seems to warn of dark days ahead... Season 3: Bad. They go all in on a Doctor Who parody that loses it luster real quickly. There's an extremely involved Ken Jeong plotline about him taking over the school that sucks. All the characters are 500% wackier. For every good episode there's two bad ones. Season 4: Roughly as bad as the last season, but made worse by everything feeling slightly off because they fired Dan Harmon and the new writers never quite found the right mix of self-loathing and lighthearted. Even more Doctor Who parody. Troy and Abed's lovable antics become an unreliable crutch. The dark timeline hallucination episode is the nadir of the series. Something something Changnesia. Season 5: Its a weird transitional season (not just because Donald Glover and Chevy Chase leave but because they had to center the plot on why they would still be in college after they graduated last season) but is still a sharp improvement over S3-4. The addition of Jonathan Banks works surprisingly well, possibly because Dan Harmon came back to prove he could do it out of spite. They even bring back John Oliver after several years absent to give him characterization and an ending, which is kind of nice. Season 6: A more refined S5, with Keith David and Paget Brewster joining (and Yvette Nicole Brown and Jonathan Banks leaving) to make a surprisingly solid new ensemble cast. Hits some high notes I didn't think was possible post-S1, and ends as well as it possibly could. Slightly amazed he pulled it off.

HBO Max is culling its animation lineup https://twitter.com/CNschedules/status/1560051134185684992 There's a bunch of stuff on this list that was only available on HBO Max so for the time being there's no longer any legal way to watch, say, Infinity Train. poo poo sucks!

I can only find a few places on the internet talking about the muppeteer in The Passion, a guy named Philip Farah. I haven't seen it, but I think there was a raven puppet used in one scene, maybe he did that. His IMDb page only credits him as muppeteer for Passion and producer for Longing for Peace: A Portrait of Don Tonino Bello.

A MIRACLE posted:we own this city is kinda a slog and im probably not going to finish it. good performances tho They stuck too closely to the real story imo, it’s more of a re-enactment than an adaptation. Don’t get me wrong, the real story is shocking enough but also lacks the structure and catharsis you usually expect from a narrative. For example, the county detectives they introduce in the first two eps - ostensibly as protagonists - basically disappear from the show entirely after the case goes federal. The timeline stuff was also way too detailed (prefacing scenes with specific dates and jumping all over) and there’s no tension in the actual investigation of Jenkins because the crooked cops are terrible at concealing their crimes and instantly flip. Just too austere imo. Didn’t even have the signature end of season montage that I’ve come to expect from Simon shows.

I don't know if you really miss anything if you fast forward through the parts that he isn't in. It's a bunch of lawyers and officials rehashing the same conversation of 'can you believe how corrupt these Baltimore cops are?!'; ya, we all watched the news/The Wire, we get it.

I finally finished we own this city earlier this week and I feel the same. Jon Bernthal is just insanely good as a crooked cop. It’s certainly eye opening to the extent of corruption in the Baltimore PD but tbh it’s nothing new or particularly special.

The first arc is generally regarded as very weak and even heavier on the crossover nonsense - Dream runs into Mister Miracle and the Martian Manhunter. The issue immediately after he finishes his big heroic quest, where he meets his sister, is an agreed upon turning point for the book. I'm only 3 episodes in and only sorta feeling it, but I'm certainly going to give it until that episode. I will say they should have gotten Keanu back to play Constantine.

Episodes 4 and 5 are a big improvement over 1-3, the beginning is terrible because of overexplaining I didn’t even care much for doll house in the comics, so the second half of season 1 is just alright, mostly lifted up by the great one-off episodes, and im hoping the second half of season 2 will be where it hits its stride. The real juicy stuff starts in volume 4. Sandman is at his best dealing with gods and kings and Forrest gumping through history Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Aug 19, 2022 |
