GreenNight posted:Not Dead Yet was also canceled. While not great I will miss this show. It was a super breezy comedy. Yeah it was really mid but pleasant enough to be a nice watch when new eps popped up. Feels like a show that mightve aired 10 years ago.

If any Toronto goons in here liked Nirvanna the Band the Show, Matt Johnson is looking for extras for their shoot for the movie on the 14th: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/extras-tickets-902508155187 Figured someone in here would appreciate the information and might show up to be a part of it!

I'm watching Expats starring nicole kidman and it feels like one of those shows that want to be called prestige so badly and it's actually succeeding at it. You got exotic filming locale, hollywood stars, and a depressing subject. I'm a sucker for this stuff and I love when a mere TV show looks this good.

I gave hacks season three another try and then watched two episodes, it’s great.

muscles like this! posted:Despite everyone saying it was a one and done the money must have been too much as Hiroyuki Sanada has signed a deal to do Shogun season 2. Anything to justify the cost of the sets, costumes, props etc. I was kind of hoping for some sort of anthology based on the Asian Saga, with the same actors portraying similar characters throughout the franchise. The real question is do they even have scripts yet and what are they planning? The book ends like 1 year after Blackthorn's arrival, but the real person William Adams spent the rest of his life in Japan and was a major figure in the historical record alongside Tokugawa. It's not like they can't easily build on that its going to depend who they get as a showrunner/writer.

I mean to be fair, much of the Asian saga is set in Hong Kong with predominantly Chinese and British characters, so the vast majority of the actors wouldn't have been able to return. Unless they jumped straight to Gaijin or even King Rat.

They could do a prequel season from a few years prior when the previous taiko tried to take over Korea. I'm sure that would go over well, lol.

That's what most people are expecting, I think, for the story to mirror the real world Tokugawa taking control of Japan, eventually killing the heir and his mother, expelling the Catholics from Japan and basically locking down Japan for the next 250 years. But having that history to work from is something a little different from adapting a book which is full of characters, events, internal monologues etc even if all those things from the book had the skeletal structure of that same history to work from. I will hold out high hopes though, they did such a great job of this first season and if they are going to do more, it's a great team to be working with.

I don't hold out high hopes because getting a quick turn around without a supporting spine of an existing novel (which took several years to write) isn't going to result in anything high quality. It's going to be GoT all over again.

There’s also the fact that a very large portion of the miniseries’ characters were dead by the finale and those performances were a huge reason why the show became so acclaimed and beloved (and memed!) in the first place. How do you even do a Shōgun season 2 without Mariko, Yabushige, half the antagonists, etc?

Constellation was in space for maybe 20 minutes. I guess they spent way too much on that ISS set/CGI and had to film the rest of the episodes in a cabin with what was left.

feedmyleg posted:I'd be okay with Scavengers Reign being cancelled as long as the same team stuck together and went on to do something else. The first season's story was nicely self-contained and the universe-opening tease at the end was cool and enigmatic enough that my imagination can run with it, but not inherently compelling enough that I'm mad I don't get to see what the deal with it is. Maybe I'm too jaded of a Star Trek fan to let good sci-fi just get scattered to the solar wind like this. DaveKap fucked around with this message at 23:14 on May 12, 2024 |

I also watched 8 episodes of Shogun this weekend, which I knew would happen when I started, and started re-reading Shogun, which I also knew would happen, and I don't have anything interesting to say about it except all the hype and praise is warranted. One complaint, and this isn't unique to the show, but blue contacts never work on dark colored eyes. They always look fake and they always distract me. Just make him brown-eyed, or if it's that important to you, cast someone with blue eyes.

Solid choice to do a standalone character ep. The framing device, on the other hand? I only vaguely remember the history between the characters and the show seems to expect me to remember the ins and outs of their relationship.

Ok having finished it I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to a well written, high quality historical drama based on the continuing adventures of the Tokugawa Shogunate, I mean the history is already written. Just me or does Cosmo Jarvis have serious Tom Hardy energy
