Too good to go is an awesome app. Some great deals for food on there if y’all ever look for cheap takeout. Neat concept too

Probably should have given up hope when the creators of A:TLA quit the project. Edit: At least they can pronounce the main character's name correctly. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Feb 23, 2024 |

Quiet Feet posted:I had a dream last night that I was stuck in a labyrinthine abandoned mall that was populated by tribes of aggressive lemurs and apes. They'd trapped a bunch of places on the floor but had marked out the correct paths by placing long rows of candies. There was nothing to survive on but old junk food. It was pretty tense. The one recurring weird/memorable dream I have is always being lost in some gigantic maze of a mall with weird levels (Like the Mall of America) where it's impossible to find the location/exit I'm trying to get to but can see where I'm trying to be, it's just impossible to figure out what path actually achieves that goal. There's never any actual threat or anything chasing me, I just can't make it to (wherever) I'm heading for. I'm sure the dream means I haven't bought enough stupid poo poo on the internet that week or whatever.

FizFashizzle posted:I watched the first four episodes of night country last night and uh is this really bad or I just finished the season and I found it to be ok. I kept falling asleep (this is common for me for any show I'm watching though), so I kept having to go back and rewatch half and episode and I got kind of confused about the relationships between everyone. I considered it better than S2, which I thought was awful. It also was meant to be a stand alone show and HBO/Max forced it into the True Detective franchise, so there are some things that really felt forced into the show to tie it into the series.

I liked True Detective: Night Country. The tie-in to the 1st season definitely feels forced IMO and it could've used another episode or 2. Then again I love Jodie Foster. Why won't she answer my letters? I'd make John Hickley Jr. jokes but I don't want to alert the Secret Service agent watching this forum.

Being better than season 2 is a low bar.

I liked the first few episodes but the ending got a bit contrived. Jodie was great. Weird character tho

I randomly started watching this show on Netflix called Warrior. It was on MAX I guess and has a few seasons. It’s based in 1870 San Fransisco when the Tong Wars were happening. The plot was originally written by Bruce Lee apparently. It’s ok so far but they do this thing with language that’s interesting. There’s a big mix of Cantonese and English spoken. Initially it starts out with spoken Cantonese and subtitles then they do this shift mid-sentence to them speaking English, and it’s just understood that they’re actually speaking Cantonese to each other in-world. However, this is only present when there’s not another English speaker present. When there is one present, you hear them speak Cantonese with subtitles. There’s even scenes where the English speaker leaves the scene and it does a transition to them speaking English (but it’s still understood they’re speaking Cantonese to each other really) What’s interesting is when the actors are speaking English to each other, but it’s in-world Cantonese, their English is perfect. There are scenes where the Chinese people speak English to the other English speakers, but it’s broken English with an accent. Idk if that even makes any sense, you might have to watch it to understand but I couldn’t find examples on YouTube. Solid show so far so maybe worth watching. The fight scenes are fun.

That's basically what I told her, but it was enough of a turn-off for my mom that she couldn't finish the first episode I even checked the actor's age for her and he's like fifteen now, so he was like twelve or thirteen when they were filming

My wife and I are watching Queen of the South on Netflix and they seem to do this too. They talk in Spanish with subtitles at times, other times they switch to all English. No consistency however and apparently this was a USA show at one point so it might not even be a Netflix standard thing. I don't recommend it personally. This is clearly a show written for three seasons that got two extra seasons and you can tell the writers had to pull a story out of their asses.

Warrior was pretty good. I think it was just canceled on MAX which supports that theory because WB just does not know how to run a streaming network

I think the new CEO is from Discovery, not WB. Max pretty much sucks now because the site is littered with a bunch of lovely Discovery shows I don't want to watch. I'm pissed I bought a year subscription back in August because right after that is when they merged and it all went to poo poo.

They don’t know how to advertise, they don’t know how to manage successful shows and they drat sure don’t listen to their fans. It’s wild how bad the quality of the shows have gotten. Too much discovery crap, like you said. I didn’t realize a discovery exec became CEO - that explains why it’s so bad

Max is also jerking around John Oliver, who basically had been promised when he made the show that his main story would be put on YouTube the next day. This season they're either delaying or straight up not doing that in an effort to force people to watch it on Max.

Amy Pole Her posted:They don’t know how to advertise, they don’t know how to manage successful shows and they drat sure don’t listen to their fans. They have gone full private equity mode. They are shelving stuff left and right for deletion and writing it off for tax purposes. Full, complete movies. The Batgirl movie was the first major one, and most recently its Coyote vs. Acme. This has already led to a lot of prominent directors and producers say they are avoiding HBO/Warner Bros/etc until they know a project that gets made will actually see the light of day. As a result, HBO's quality is going to tank. Since the 90's HBO has always made good TV. Even if a show wasn't for you, it was always well made and never had unreasonable budget issues. Think of how many shows HBO has made that are not just really good, but part of the culture and still discussed. The Sopranos, The Wire, Sex and the City, Game of Thrones, Hard Knocks, Succession, Veep, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. There are a ton more that the average person knows about, and if you include critically acclaimed shows it goes through the roof. They took a brand of TV that was guaranteed to be good and just poo poo all over it and erased any good will from the creative community overnight.

No consistency however and apparently this was a USA show at one point so it might not even be a Netflix standard thing. I got a PS5 this week as a gift, so I've been playing Steelrising, which is a Soulsborne set in Revolutionary France (it's "we have Lies of P at home," the Game), and it does a mix of British English with French phrases thrown in randomly (with translations right next to the phrase in the subtitles). It absolutely irks me, since the conceit is that they're speaking French to begin with. Amy Pole Her posted:They don’t know how to advertise, they don’t know how to manage successful shows and they drat sure don’t listen to their fans. They accidentally created all this buzz around Coyote vs Acme by nearly shelving it and word of mouth getting everyone interested in seeing it, so they unshelve it, and instead of releasing it themselves, they decided to shop it around for god knows how much and when no one bit on a movie they were going to get rid of a month ago, they decided to shelve it again for good, leaving everyone unhappy. People wanted to see that movie and they went "nah." Total incompetence
