The speed is tied to the tempo of the song playing on the radio and Batman has “Something in the Way” on repeat.

I didn’t hate the movie, liked it even, but it could have easily lost 35 minutes and been a much more tight film as a result (and it STILL would have been almost a 2.5 hr movie.) It being 4 minutes shy of 3 hours is indefensible. There’s only so many times Batman can approach from the darkness in slow motion to the same 3 bars of a Nirvana song.

bull3964 posted:The car chase to get The Penguin was one of the dumbest things I’ve seen put on the big screen, especially for a movie that’s praised as high as “The Batman.” The level of unbeleivable pausing they had to do get from the fight shootout to the cars to even start that sequence was already so egregious it took me out of the movie. Then the car chase being an hour long irritating action slog of destructive nonsense made it a natural intermission for bathroom break but was still going on after. And the batmobile wasn't cool it looked like any 1993 black Toyota Camaro Sedan and the billion of cars that look just like it.

MarcusSA posted:Yeah I dunno. Yeah, I also started reading the book halfway through the season. They are both a little dry, and the TV series is a bit slow (THIRTY episodes), but it was a good and mostly faithful adaptation of the book. (Totally softened the Cultural Revolution parts, though) That being said, I had quite a few issues with the first two books I read, and I don't think Netflix will make them any better... (Book spoilers) My most major issue is that the countdown is a red herring and only intended to make the reader think something is happening at the end, and in the second book the Earth's armed forces did the worst blunder since some trojans got a nice gift ymgve fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Jan 10, 2024 |

I've read the first two books so far and I'm kinda excited for Neflix adaptation since I felt the translation really held me back from fully enjoying some neat heady concepts. It was specifically the dialog. I'm sure it reads well in the original Chinese, but the English translation had me going constantly "no one talks like this", kinda pulling me out of the story. This is especially true for the non-Chinese characters in the book. Yeah, I was also screaming at the pages as I read book two about the massive military blunder that was clearly about to happen that seemed to only serve as a way to wrap up that stage of the story quickly.

After that recent Only Connect rant I checked it out on YouTube and now it pops up sometimes in the autoplay. I like it as a dinner show, I'm not keeping score for myself but about half I can get or would if I paused for extra time and paid more attention, but most of em I don't feel bad missing at all because I just don't know the names of specific Lego Ninjago characters and probably never will and that's okay. It's a really wide net they cast of connections to make. It's mostly when it's hyper specific pop culture that it reminds me on some online trivia games that have any old question and make you guess how many red triangular flags there in a certain custom racetrack for Trackmania 2008. It's pretty dry overall but the pacing is actually fairly snappy. At least if you're trying to make the connections it goes by really quick. I guess compared to other trivia shows it's a lot harder to dip in and out since you have to wait to see if they go to next clues, whereas with Jeopardy you get all the info right at the start.

Lotta great ideas and concepts, but doesn’t really hang together. Also I feel you on the translation thing, I could always tell I was reading a translation of a book. In good translations you kind of forget that after a bit. I’m sure they sound cool in Chinese but ‘Wallfacers” and “Swordholder” sound stupid in English. There were other things like that but that’s the one I remember off the top of my head. And there’s a bit too much magical realism for a book that deals with such complex hard science manic poetry dream waifu tulpa??? How’d they deal with that in the TV show?. I will say most of my problems didn’t arise until book two, when they changed translators and it was obviously worse. Never read #3

There is a cartoon which covers more, but I haven't seen that one. And yeah, the books can be described as "good ideas, mediocre execution"

Don't click this spoiler if you haven't played the second game: Like, it's one thing that she's going to kill Joel, but now she's going to kill Joel played by a beloved actor. She will get hate both from fans of the show and from people who's thirsty for Pedro Pascal.
