Yeoh rules, and I'm glad to hear the project isn't dead. I think the setup coming out 2049 is really compelling.

I've posted about this elsewhere but the fact the sequel was excellent was really unexpected sand the fact the people behind it aren't doing anything with the show afaik isn't inspiring me with hope

I've said it before but the setting of 2049 feels about a decade away from total collapse and possibly extinction on the high end, It doesn't feel ripe for sequel possibilities

Casting Yeoh has my curiosity, but making the follow up to 2049 a TV show instead of a movie with all different people gets me far less interested. 2049 being as good as a was was a miracle achieved through the people involved. Thinking they can catch lightning in a bottle again under different circumstances is the same reason I have no hope for Tron: Ares. (I know Jeff Bridges was just announced to be in that, but that just poses more questions to me, honestly, and makes me think they're either retconning the end of Legacy, or ignoring the impact of it.) thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 22:01 on May 7, 2024 |

Cameron Monaghan is in Ares and apparently he says that whatever they're doing with filming is so over the top that he keeps hanging out on set on days he isn't filming. But yeah, considering the most recent Blade Runner thing was an animated series that just wasn't very good I don't have high hopes for the new show.

Mostly unrelated, but I adore Villeneuve for being asked,"2049 wasn't a big box office success, what did you do wrong?" with basically,"I made a great film, if the audience wasn't there for it, gently caress 'em, they should have better taste."

2049 is fascinating in that it’s a good example of how a movie can be great while also being kind of dull as hell

My wife put on an early episode of Sex and the City to have in the background while we were cleaning, and both Will Arnett and James Urbaniak were in it. And funnily enough, Arnett’s character is compared to George Michael, and Urbaniak’s character is named Buster. It is kind of funny to watch the first few seasons and see just how many minor appearances there are by people who made it big later. Also really funny how Brooklyn is considered the equivalent of a garbage pile at the time.

I assume Sex and the City was like Law & Order where they were just pulling from the NYC actor pool which is how you end up with a lot of people who eventually became famous.

I wish Sex and the City was more like Law and Order. Both shows are missing something and this combo fills in the gaps.

https://deadline.com/2024/05/resident-alien-usa-network-move-nbcu-netflix-1235907744/ Article about Resident Alien's uncertain future. It seems pretty much a given that Syfy isn't going to order more episodes but if it moves over to USA there's going to be a fairly big budget cut.

PriorMarcus posted:Was The Expanse the last serious science fiction show they made? Well, I guess they are still making "The Ark" which has a Season 2 airing sometime this year. Technically Killjoys lasted longer than "The Expanse" on Syfy (2019 vs 2018). I will also die on the hill that Killjoys was good throwback 90s action scifi fun. But ever since 2020, things have been bare. Genre TV seems to thrive more on streaming, but NBCU seems reluctant to go all in on Peacock originals due to poor subscription uptake at the same time they are slashing the gently caress out of budgets for their networks. Syfy has no new orignals on its slate for this year to my knowledge. That's kinda crazy. It really makes me feel like they are running out the clock on the contracts they have. I bet Syfy is going to turn into another all movies/reruns network like FXX. In other enshitification news. Amazon now plans to show pause screen ads on top of the ads they've inserted into shows for those not paying extra.

Killjoys 2015-2018 The Expanse 2015-2018 12 Monkeys 2015-2019 The Magicians 2015-2020 Van helsing 2016-2021 Wynonna Earp 2016-2021 Everything after that mostly sucked. Resident Alien and Chucky are the only shows i remember having any sticking power. Nightflyers and Krypton probably hurt their feelings, considering the sources. It was also the rise of the streaming service rebrand-athons, Paramount+ etc. Stegosnaurlax fucked around with this message at 14:44 on May 8, 2024 |

For what it's worth, I liked The Ark, but I'd say it's more of a soapy young adult sci-fi rather than serious, gritty sci-fi, so obviously it's not prestige television at all

They blew it, as is tradition. Open Source Idiom posted:Vagrant Queen was something else. Started out vaguely inept, slowly grew into an incredibly bleak space opera. Like a good version of Final Space. I thought that was a Netflix show. I didn't forget Continuum, i only took shows that started at the same time as the Expanse or newer.

I couldn't give Vagrant Queen more than a single episode (and almost turned it off before it was done) and I'm incredibly forgiving of schlocky and weird. For fucks sake, I'm currently rewatching Lexx.

I tried Vagrant Queen and thought it was fun enough, but yeah didn't really get hooked and the flippant tone was a bit offputting. Good to hear that it evolves a bit as it goes, will definitely give it another shot some time.
