Open Source Idiom posted:Oh mate thanks for this; no one else had said anything and they're so so obnoxious. At one point the subtitles were insisting I was hearing [English] and it was blatantly just not. I actually used the second one because I wanted subs for all the text, and the default one didn't provide them for the parts where the characters spoke in actual English.

Yeah, it’s a bit disorienting if the subs don’t agree with the dubbed English.

Cats Don't Dance, a charming little animated musical about animal actors trying to make it in Hollywood, is free with ads on Youtube. If you haven't heard of it, it was buried when it came out because it was produced by Turner Animation, which was promptly dissolved in the Warner merger. Starring Jasmine Guy and Scott Bakula, songs by Randy Newman, and choreography assistance from Gene Kelly (his last project before he died). Also has one of the great villain/henchman teams.

The Last of Us is useful because my gf is convinced the videogame series are like transcendent works of narrative fiction and wants nothing more than to watch me play them but I'm not much of a gamer and I didn't really enjoy the first hour or so (not really into games that try to ape the cinematic experience, more into indie/strategy I guess). Now i can just watch the show with her.

stoked for the last of us even tho i played both games multiple times bc it is simply a good story i am excited to revisit. i'm curious to see what they'll do with the adaptation, and i think they can actually achieve greater narrative heights without making me, the player, fetch a ladder over and over for ellie bc "it's a video game and we need platforming" altho i'm sure there will be different concessions made bc "it's a tv show and we need cliffhangers"

Grandpa Palpatine posted:has anyone seen that D.B. Cooper documentary on HBO? is it good or nah I watched it this morning. Didn't expect revelations in the case or anything. But I'd still say skip it. I think it just annoyed me. It tried to do that "out of timeline order" thing where they get you hooked, then do a backstop for evidence, then summarize, but steps 2&3 were kind of weak. The stock footage they'd show while voiceover was often bad. Like this lady is telling her story about her uncle pulling in and out of a driveway, so here's a 1970s home videos of cars in suburbia. Just weird like that. Also lately I've been getting these "ick" feels from docs where people appear to be taken advantage of, be it mild mental illness, shut-ins, confused, etc and put on camera as entertainment. Just because they have a story doesn't mean you have to film their living conditions in such a way to imply they're struggling w/ something and perhaps unreliable. We get it.

One of my concerns was that they would try to drag it out. Though they may still do that with subsequent seasons to cover the time between part I and part II.

I've been getting the feeling from it that ends in Winter, probably with Boulder being the cliffhanger. Which would mean that season 2 gets padded a bit to finish with the end of the game. The DLC flashback gets its own episode, given how every showrunner loves putting a non-sequiter story as the penultimate episode anymore seems like a likely place for it.

veni veni veni posted:The hatchet wielding hitchhiker doc on Netflix is nuts. I remember the viral video but I didn’t know there was more to it I just watched this last night and I appreciated this story wasn't turned into a limited series because the 1.5 hours was long enough. Far too often these stories are stretched into multiple episodes leaving things feel watered-down. A solid choice for someone who wants an eerie documentary that isn't a multi-hour commitment.

House of Darkness on Hulu was terrible. The premise sounded not too dissimilar to Justin Long's other movie Barbarian, but nothing at all happens for the first 45 minutes except awkward flirting and taunting. Then more nothing happens for about a half hour, and then the thing that was obvious from the start happens and the movie ends.

Yeah I’m pretty much at the point that if I see a documentary that is under 2 hours I’ll just watch it. If it’s a miniseries I’ll watch it if I find the subject really interesting. If it’s drawn out into 8 hour long true crime thing I avoid like the plague.

does any other game make you play as the murderer of the franchise's beloved protagonist? mgs2 kinda did a similar bait and switch thing years ago and that was one of the coolest gaming experiences ever. mgs rules pls rerelease on ps5 sony/konami

I’ve played TLOU 1 and own 2 but never played it because I haven’t finished the DLC that takes place between the two. Hopefully the show will not spoil that for me so I can continue putting it off.

I guess I don’t have an excuse for not playing 2 now. you should probably only play it before 2 because it will give you some backstory on the characters of 1 before overwhelming you with more stuff that happens in 2. and also because the mechanics of 2 are far better and more fluid than anything in 1 or the DLC and it will suck to go back to that after experiencing 2. plus the DLC is only like an hour or two maybe?

I enjoyed Willow more than Wheel or Time the Rings of Power or any other fantasy I've had to slog through lately. It's at the very least as good as Wednesday if not better. If it's renewed ideally we will get more Brownies and less of Madmartigan's terrible, terrible children.
