That’s fair, it’s definitely way more of a fan-service heavy take on the premise than something like, say, Shin Godzilla.

Not yet (unless you’re in Japan and have Prime), but iirc the home video release should be sometime this spring and you can probably expect streaming availability around the same time.

I was hoping Shin Ultraman would be a great onboarding for the franchise but yea...
I loved how they took much of the limitations of the series models and miniatures and made it cannon to the character

I'm reading Kamen Riders OG manga series and its fun, and narratively confusing.

I'm hoping Shin Kamen Rider may be amazing but like Ultraman, Kamen Rider may have too many tempting beats to fit into a movie

Godzilla is simple tons of space to work with. I'm 550 pages into the manga and they JUST explained why a grasshopper suit and what powers he has.

All the Shin movies have the same foe. Japanese live action budgets-yeesh.

Skinamarink would work best if you fell asleep with the TV on and woke up in the middle of the night with it showing, saw about 10 minutes of it while half asleep and then in the morning could find no evidence of it ever existing.

But that's not really something achievable for a film.

Skinamarink as an Adult Swim infomercial is an intriguing proposition.

The Disciple (2020) on Netflix. I want to get a shruti box and ride a motorcycle all night in slow motion. That would be loving amazing. I could just do that for the rest of my life. Maybe I can get a shruti box for my car and listen to it while slowly driving around the block. Also I should start listening to more Indian classical music.

Nuts and Gum posted:

They actually have a fairly close relationship. Cunk was originally a character on Screenwipe, a show created by Charlie Brooker, who was a writer on Chris Morris' Brass Eye, the show that laid the groundwork for conducting interviews under false pretenses that SBC later used for Ali G, Borat and Bruno.

I read a book about it years ago, which has some amusing details:

Disgusting Bliss by Lucian Randall posted:

There was still one more battle for Brass Eye to fight, but at least it was one that had been long predicted. A complaint had been made to the ITC by the MPs featured in the Drugs episode. Graham Linehan remembers Morris telling him he had phoned David Amess pretending to be Piers Morgan in order to find out if he intended to sue. Amess not only shared his plans but was sufficiently convinced by Morris’s impersonation to round off the conversation by asking who he thought would win the general election that month. Morris improvised some likely Morgan-esque banter on the subject. On 19 May the ITC ruled that the MPs had been misled over format, subject and purpose and, as expected, the robust defence of public interest offered by Prash Naik and Jan Tomalin was not allowed under the code. Both complaints were upheld and Sir Graham Bright’s contribution was removed from further broadcasts, though the ITC also ruled that the show was ‘in general amusing and innovative’. Channel 4 believed that the adjudications helpfully acknowledged, for the first time, tacit approval for the use of a public interest defence in entertainment programmes of a similar sort and some months later lobbied successfully for the ITC code to be revised to allow such set-ups (an amendment affectionately known in the station’s legal department as the ‘Brass Eye clause’). In some ways the clause made it harder for programme-makers. Producers might once have subtly misled subjects about certain aspects of how they were going to appear, but after Morris had exposed the most intimate parts of celebrities’ media transactions for the public to point and laugh at, anyone else had to make very sure they could comprehensively defend any deception. Brass Eye’s Andrew Newman went on to develop the 11 O’Clock Show, where Sacha Baron Cohen, advised by Prash Naik, developed Ali G off the back of the changed code. Newman applied Brass Eye tricks and methods to Ali’s celebrity interviews, though he recalls that the production team had to explain a little more of what was happening post-Brass Eye. He was later a consultant on Borat the movie. Ali G’s target was media vanity but, while Prash Naik’s advice was that the new public interest test might be met, it was also heading into uncharted broadcasting territory. Its overwhelming success led to further amendment of the code after lobbying by Channel 4, and Baron Cohen was able to do further set-ups – though had it not been for Brass Eye neither Ali G nor similar programmes would have seen the light of day.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Haven't seen (or played) TLOU but I kind of wondered what the general reaction would be since I assume the kind of people interested in it would be all post-apocalypse miseryporned out after a decade of The Walking Dead

Makes me wonder if the Fallout show will be able to effectively balance the camp/tortured existence thing to become a hit (prediction: it won't, its going to be so bad)

I was wondering that too. Like, the first episode has the protagonists kid bleed out in his arms. Another kid is euthanized and tossed in a burn pit.
