We're talking about it in the pop culture thread. The majority opinion is in favour. I quite like it - the lead is eerily twitchy and awkward. And while I'm here, a question about the first episode: Greenleaf mistakes Ripley as a classmate of his son. I know how this happens in the other versions, but here it just seemed to be a random mistake. Did I miss something? nonathlon fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Apr 9, 2024 |

I was 3 episodes into Ripley when I said to myself "This really seems familiar, like I've seen it before" and that's when I realized it's Talented Mr. Ripley. Took 3 episodes. #DetectiveMedullah

I also thought it was an Alien thing at first, and I love the Damon movie. Saw it in a theater with my dad as a teen, that was fun.

Every time I see the name "Ripley" out in the wild I automatically assume it's related to Believe it or Not even though that's literally never been the case

I thought the implication was that the real Tom Ripley was some unremarkable kid who no one ever noticed and is now probably dead.

My wild take but McGregor is the only watchable part of the new Road House. He’s just so loving wild and out there. And the way he walks. I can’t explain it, he’s not good, but I am so utterly curious what he does next in every scene because I truly have no idea what is going to happen. I imagine he’s not acting and this is just who he is as a person.

Just finished Ripley. I've never read the novel or seen the 1999 film adaptation, but I really enjoyed it. It was refreshing seeing a crime thriller focused on the killer that didn't involve him being some sort of genius that was constantly one step ahead of the police. A lot of the tension comes from the patient observation of Tom fumbling around as he tries rather ineptly much of the time to avoid getting caught. The show runners did a good job of leaving you on the edge of your seat wondering how much of his survival would be the result of him committing his crimes in 1960s Italy and dealing with its unsophisticated police system and how much would result from his own cleverness. The one real problem I had with the plot in the end was the final meeting between Tom and Inspector Ravini in Venice. It really strained belief to have this shrewd detective not recognize his main suspect whom he had interviewed twice because of a wig, fake beard, and low lighting. From some brief reading on the novel and 1999 film, this encounter seems to be unique to this adaptation? If so, it was definitely a misstep. Still, given the final scene, I would definitely watch a season 2 featuring Ravini continuing to hunt Tom.

A MIRACLE posted:fallout sure is a tv show I've only seen one episode and it suffers from the same thing every streaming show has now where because it doesn't have to fit within the constraints of a TV schedule every scene goes on too long The raiders attacking the vault, the Brotherhood nerd being dressed down, Goggins waking up...every scene is double the length that it should be, nothing is left on the cutting room floor, which makes stuff that should be snappy and fun fall flat because they drag it out, what could have been a tight 45 minute intro is a 76 minute slog. It's like every streaming exec saw stranger things with its bloated 70+ minute episodes and took all the wrong lessons from it Also basic editing mistake to cut to the Brotherhood guy doing stuff in a nondescript field, the first time you the viewer should see the wasteland should OBVIOUSLY be the first time the main character does, that's just an obvious storytelling miss

It's a weird thing to invent and insert into the story, unnecessary. It was a good disguise but ... come on. Something other things I liked about Ripley: * The characterization of minor figures in the story. The overly friendly hotel clerk, the one that clearly can't be bothered, the cop who clearly didn't want to find the body, the sullen housekeeper ... there's a lot of details there. Ravini could have cracked the case but he just didn't like the dogwalker. * There's lots of twitches and silences and glances from all the characters. People aren't perfectly composed. It adds to the atmosphere.

Netflix has done incalculable damage to both movies and TVs by inventing the formula of 480 minute "prestige-ish" TV shows that should have been a 90 minute movie. Such dogshit.

With all the Ripley buzz I somehow have never watched anything related to it so I recently watched Purple Noon, the French one from ‘60, and it was pretty good! Also Alain Delon is the hottest man to ever grace the silver screen, good grief. I should probably check out the 90s film

Re characterizations: I love that basically every character, except for Dickie, his family and that one landlady seem to have an inherent distrust of Ripley. Watching people's faces fall as he walks away became one of my favorite running gags. Re twitches and glances: The quick head shake the housekeeper gives Dickie in Atrani when she's serving drinks to the Mafia guy was a small moment that I actually rewound to see again.
