The first three seasons are my kind of poo poo. There's lots to like in Seasons 4-6 but they also adapt the weaker books in the series so they can get tedious. Also one of the main actors being removed from the show for being a sex pest completely fishtails a good quarter of Season 5. And a complete lack of Jared Harris is also a shame.

watched existenz at the alamo

my first cronenberg. I liked the practical effects. also I didn't realize it before but jude law is way over hyped as an actor isn't he? I mean he's not bad, just not as good as you would expect. maybe it's his accent. anyway I was a little bit disappointed by the film. I like the punchline at the end, I just wish I had gone in expecting a tight body horror exploitation flick instead of something more grand in scope. I spent most of the movie wondering why the plot was complete bloody slimy nonsense instead of vibing

I rewatched it recently too and had the same thoughts about Jude Law. I know he's a good actor but in Existenz he was just very blank and flat. He reminded me of the lead in Scanners so I was wondering if this was intentional from Cronenberg. In a way the entire film just felt like a lesser remake of Videodrome, with the altered reality making you question what is real and whats not but I found the pirate tv broadcasts and mind control conspiracies to be way more compelling than a wacky videogame.

Speaking of Cronenberg I just watched Nightbreed (the cabal cut) and man, that's an incredibly frustrating film. So much work and effort had been put into the creature designs and sets but it all falls apart because of the atrocious pacing. The first hour seems so rushed that you never really get a chance to care about any of the characters or plot threads and the last like 45 minutes is a messy action scene where characters appear at random in different locations, a brief 5 second scene of a monster being shot by the angry mob, characters appear at random in different locations, another monster being shot by angry mob. It was a complete mess that never flowed right. I'm a bit disappointed because it felt like it had all the ingredients to be an actual good horror film but for the director. I hated the score, a whimsical Danny Elfman garbage that did not fit the tone at all. Women and children being gunned down by cackling rednecks set to a soundtrack where you wouldn't be surprised to see peewee herman fly past in the background on his bike and honk his horn. I did like Cronenberg as the evil doctor though, he was very sinister and I loved his creepy serial killer mask. Just a disappointment overall.

Unclear why they thought they needed to cast names at all. Who is seeing Borderlands who otherwise wouldn't because Cate Blanchett is in it?

Just why Borderlands of all things. Taken out of its video game context its another dime a dozen Mad Max ripoff except aaaaaaalieeeeeeens and fart jokes. Remove those two things and you've got the music and the art style. The movie isn't a cel shaded animated feature so it's already gonna look like a cheap junkyard set and Jesper Kyd is too busy making insane music for video games to bother making music for the movie of a game he scored 15 years ago.

On one hand, I refuse to believe that Kevin Feige is dumb enough to make another Eternals. On the other hand, this is the same guy who didn't realize Daredevil was blind until Born Again entered pre-production.

I really liked The Expanse, but if you’re not feeling it after all of season one, then you probably never will. It will just be a slog until you hit the wall of boredom that is season 4 and the gravel planet.
