Read After Burning posted:I hated the Scott Pilgrim movie besides Culkin's character and maybe Kim, but I am thoroughly enjoying episode 1 of the cartoon so far. Give it a chance, even if you aren't a fan of the movie. All I'll say is you have absolutely nothing to worry about on that front.

Part of the the charm of the new show is that it’s trying to reckon with the flaws of both the movie and books in what have so far been pretty admirable ways. It’s not so much a remake as a series of musings and variations on the themes of the books/movies, if that makes sense. It’s something more remakes should try.

cant cook creole bream posted:Wow. Episode 6 is perfect. Best 30 Minutes of action in a decade. I prefer episode 5, “The Tale of the Ronin and the Bride”. While it can’t really be enjoyed outside of the other episodes contextually, it’s a near-perfect animated piece imo.

There's a new, completely terrible Walking Dead videogame and it has a gimmick where you can change events from the show's story. It sounds like an interesting idea except it was published by GameMill who don't have the most... money when it comes to putting out games. This leads to redoing Rick and Shane's final confrontation not as a tense dramatic moment but instead an arena boss battle where Rick takes multiple shotgun blasts to the face. https://i.kinja-img.com/image/upload/c_fit,q_60,w_1315/896315b4c4a134cea815895cef38156f.mp4

I’m really glad i saw the posts about the Scott Pilgrim show here because when i first heard there was one coming out i was like “ugh, why?!” I liked the comics and the movie was fine but it i thought it was going to just be the same thing again. I decided to give it a shot anyway though and watched it today and I loved it. I don’t think i’ve had this much fun watching TV in awhile. i also appreciated seeing way more of my favorite evil ex, Matthew Patel

I just watched the first two episodes of Severence and as someone who has spent a lot of time working in big soulless corporate offices that was really uhhh... uncannily analogous to actual large corporate office work. It's a great encapsulation of the existential dread and overall vibe of being a corporate wageslave spreadsheet toucher. Very unsettling, but intriguing.

The freakiest thing about Scavengers Reign, is how all the alien creatures have these big black eyes. They remind me of the "grey" aliens.

Arist posted:All I'll say is you have absolutely nothing to worry about on that front.  Thank you. Hearing that line in theaters was a bit of a gut punch, since as a bi girl who had just came out to everyone, I IMMEDIATELY caught on to Ramona correcting him with "evil EXES". I'm sitting there thinking, "Hell yeah, this character is just casually bi without any fan service scenes", and then immediately had the smile wiped from my face at that line.It was like the movie dangled a tiny bit of representation in front of my face and then snatched it away while laughing.  Bit of a personal squabble on my part, but it kind of sealed the deal on the other things I didn't like about the movie.

The second season of The Lazarus Project owned hard. Great if you're looking for some Nolan-esque sci-fi nonsense. The first season is some fun timeloop international jetsetting superagent nonsense, but the second season adds independent time travel to the mix, so now you've got timeloops with multiple versions of the cast running around. It's very fun.

I'm loving loving the Scott Pilgrim series so far (4 episodes in), I'm so glad I went into it relatively unspoiled. I knew there was a twist at the end of the 1st episode, just not what and the fight in episode 3 was amazing.

I binged this over the course of a few days and I agree that it was very fun. Not sure how I felt about the (ambiguous ending spoilers for S2) twist at the end but I will definitely be tuning in for S3.

So this deal is back but I have no idea how it’s going to shake out with Disney folding everything together in one app.  People are saying you can add D+ for $2 more but Max with ads is $2.99 for 6 months MarcusSA fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Nov 21, 2023 |

Someone tried to sell me a burger once for 12 bucks. I asked for if subbing the beef for manure would bring the price down any.

Based on the recommendations from this thread, I started Scavengers Reign and I’m only 2 episodes in and already sad that it’s going to be over at some point It’s got such a chill laid back vibe, despite the fact that what’s happening is often neither chill nor laid back I want more like this

It kinda does the Six Feet Under cold open thing but it's about the entire life cycle of an incomprehensible alien organism and it's my favorite thing in the world.

I haven't been particularly fond of Rick & Morty the past few seasons. And I was wondering if this is overfamiliarity with the tropes or even growth as a person. Nope. Watched SE1E3 Anatomy Park and it's a home run even today.
