Some Guy TT posted:Knuckles is one of the most surprising new shows of the year—yes, really. I know what you’re thinking: How could a spinoff of the incredibly popular Sonic the Hedgehog movies starring one of the franchise’s most popular characters be “surprising?” In fact, Knuckles is something of a Trojan Horse. While it presents itself as an action-packed show about Knuckles (voiced by Idris Elba), the no-nonsense red echidna, it’s really about his friendship with a goofy human, Wade Whipple (Adam Pally). More than that, over the course of the six-episode Paramount+ series, Knuckles mentors Wade as he competes in a major bowling tournament—see, I told you it’s surprising! I'm not reading the rest of this article (though I skimmed a few more paragraphs and lol at the soothing power of loving Sonic) but this is the exact kind of non-referential madlibs* nonsense that poo poo like anime is known for. It's not artistically holistic, it's the random grafting together of nonsense in ways that aren't particularly meaningful, and it's frustrating to see critics and audiences react to the succession of meaningless novelties with glazed goo goo gaa gaa expressions rather than asking what the actual point of sticking Sonic and bowling together is, and whether either informs each other in ways that are meaningful, clever or intelligent. (They both roll, I guess) McFarlane's Ted series was similar -- 70% of the time it was a fairly successful grounded ("grounded") family comedy about a working class family at risk of being torn apart by the personality clash between the father and a recently relocated adult cousin, and 30% of the time there was a talking bear on screen for some reason. And that was, to all intents and purposes, a vaguely successful mashup -- but it was still two different shows. *the phrasal word game, not libs of twitter the milk machine posted:at least the proper justified series always recognized that every cop is lazy, corrupt, or both I reckon Justified increasingly lost sight of this as it went along, either introducing or flattening several of its supporting cast to be hero cop characters. The attitudes of the last few seasons compared to e.g. the heist arc in the second season (still a highlight) was pretty clear IMO. Banshee was far better about this IMO.

Nichael posted:Great show. But like I said the other day, the cast saying to not look up the real woman rings very false to me. It's not hard to determine who she is since so much of what she did was public record. Yeah, it's very well made but I don't like it. The second episode has this great bit where the lead is doing really terrible prop comedy* and he's just bombing on stage. But then his stalker turns up, and she's this colourful, brazen nonsense person who invades his act, but because she's so utterly wild everyone in the audience starts to think that they're a double act. The audience starts laughing, and he starts playing into it, thus binding the two of them even closer together. You're left this sickening sort of realisation that despite his disgust for her and her beahviour, appearance, etc. which he views as declasse and beneath him, he's actually happy to encourage their connection if it means he gets to exploit her on his terms. The episode's arguing that with her he's capable of achieving some success, and without her he's less than mediocre. And that's been the main thing that's stuck with me from the show. On some level this show is essentially a successful man using a powerful platform (Netflix) to exploit a mentally ill woman for his personal gain. If a lot of what he's saying on his show is true then she's not a good person, probably, but it doesn't stop the power disparity from existing or the show from feeling like punching down on someone who we're meant to believe is so mentally ill she can barely look after herself. So much of this could have been avoided if they'd done more to change the details, or they'd just dropped the "based on a true story" part from the title and advertised it as fiction. I get that artists should speak their truths and that art can be very healing and there are a bunch of ways this kind of storytelling can be useful, but, as I said, this still reads as exploitation and the subsequent rubbernecking and stalking this show inspired feels inevitable. *which different to the guy's real life act; that was a prop supplemented form of anti-comedy, the character's performance in the show is meant to be just straight up bad Open Source Idiom has issued a correction as of 02:33 on Apr 29, 2024 |

the milk machine posted:the other thing that keeps bothering me about neo justified is the defense lawyer character keeps showing up and shouting "oh i don't think so raylan givens! i'm a lawyer!!" and it's presented as that somehow blocking or impeding the investigation. it's detroit, those cops would have disappeared her psycho client before the feds even got a whiff of him Lol that sucks. Almost every Justified episode was about Raylan deliberately making things worse so he could shoot someone to death. It was perfect. Also Boyd doing something crazy And like yeah of course the show actually loved cops. There was one episode that showed a tribute to some idiot marshalls who got themselves killed like evicting someone or something right before the credits. It was def more fun about it early on though

Challengers ruled. Highly recommend. There's a very compelling psychosexual history between the three main characters and also some absolutely buckwild camera shots during the tennis matches. Sometimes you get a first person view of one of the players and there's one shot that's from the pov of the ball.

That you don't get because you don't watch it. But i'm kinda guessing here.

Augus posted:what’s with this thing companies do now where they’re like “THE TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE STARTS IN 3…2…1” instead of just starting the trailer the microtrailers at the beginning are put there so that all the exciting moments of the trailer are captured in the autoplaying thumbnail you get from hovering over it. then they put the countdown inbetween the Trailer Trailer and the Micro Trailer to separate the two. I think there's a way to just make the autoplay thumbnail be made from the content of the video rather than grabbing whats at the start automatically, but it's probably more work than doing the microtrailer thing so we all have to suffer through it now.

It's not just for the preview play it's also for if you buy ad time on sites and devices you get like a 5 second timer before you can Skip which has to be so mind blowingly epic that people stick around to watch the Full trailer.
