HorseRenoir posted:A live-action adaptation of American Gods is straight-up unworkable. Nah. It's easily filmable and it's filmable on the shows first season budget. Bryan Fuller, it's time to admit, is just not a good show runner. A creative genius, yes, but that's not what a show runner is.

DivisionPost posted:The End of the F***ing World: WOW. I do not get the love for this show. When it was being made I had a few friends who worked on it and they were under the impression it would turn out to be a twee, maudlin load of bollocks. Maybe it's a cultural thing but we're so sick and tired of teenagers being made edgy and dark over here.

It's probably true and his image is his brand. It's not really weird for a celebrity to cultivate a brand even if it bares no resemblance to themselves.

Finished End of the loving World and... It's alright. It's pretty similar to most other dreary British dramas that overload with shock and teen swearing. The ending is laughably terrible too.

What more would you like to see happen to him? How much more discussion is there to be had about this incident? Ignoring the larger discussions about attitudes toward sex. He was publically shamed. His brand was damaged. But he didn't commit a crime. So... what?

Just watched Letterman and Obama. It's okay. He's as great a speaker as ever but he's words ring kind of hollow when you look at his record. I didn't expect Letterman to ask him anything too interesting but it's a shame Obama doesn't seem self critical at all. He also says some real moderate nonsense at times that comes across as someone still more concerned with political appearances than the reality we now live in.

precision posted:The opposite happens sometimes too. Season 4 of Rectify was easily the worst of the series, in fact was arguably "kinda bad", but a couple people insisted it was great and I'm just like... you know how much I love that show? And even I was down on the last season? I've not watched the last season yet because season three left me kind of cold on it all... what was so bad about it, avoiding spoilers if possible?

Toy leaks have confirmed that the Kessel is the big tentacle monster. It's a one of a kind species that became a flying challenge over the years. The Empire is harvesting it for something valuable and Han and team get together to steal from the Empire. Han ends up freeing the Kessel at the end because he's a good guy after all.

Of course the alternative reason that not many people are discussing Altered Carbon is that it's not very good. In fact, it's basically a boring slog of a program that is visually expensive but ultimately doesn't look very new or fresh at all.

Sinteres posted:"You know what would make this mysterious old badass a million times better? Waiting until he's even older and stripping away every bit of mystery." Better Call Saul is in the odd position of being so much better than Breaking Bad whenever Jimmy is on screen that it's amazing they come from the same production team and so much worse than Breaking Bad whenever Mike and the cameo gang roll up that it's amazing they come from... Well, you get the idea. Nacho is cool though but that's because his actor basically ejaculates charisma from every pore.

muscles like this! posted:She kind of was but then it also seemed like they were setting her up for her own side plots which had something to do with the Biblical apocalypse but she's just gone all of a sudden. There's a load of subplots that just get dropped in Fringe with no conclusion at all. Subplots and characters. At the time apparently the two executive producers had different ideas for bits of the show and that's some of the fallout.

I don't get it. America is at open war with itself. Donald Trump is literally bringing in laws and creating divisions that are killing people and everyone just accepts a right wing supporter of his on TV because it opens a "dialogue." gently caress that. You all should be in open, violent rebellion to take back your country. That said I feel the same way about the UK too and were just collectively sleep walking towards an economic and cultural armageddon.

lelandjs posted:So the Avatar: The Last Airbender Blu-Rays are our today at Best Buy (June 6th for all the other retailers). Now, I don’t have the greatest A.V. setup ever—a $60 Samsung Blu-Ray Player plugged into a $300 Insignia TV—but this is easily the best ATLA has ever looked. It’s an upscale, but a really good one, with none of the deinterlacing or haloing issues that plagued the previously available SD versions (DVD and streaming). I didn’t buy the iTunes HD versions, so I don’t know how they compare, but if you’re a fan dropping $40 for the Blu-Rays is a no-brainer. These won't be region free, right?

If you based every decision in your life on wether or somehow benefited a horrible person or enforce horrible conditions for someone else you wouldn't be able to live. If you wear brand clothes your helping horrible labour conditions. If you buy Nestle your supporting the removal of people's water. Drive? Killing the environment. You get the idea. It's silly to ignore all of that but feel like the people in your entertainment are were a you draw the line.

feedmyleg posted:Penny Dreadful has such a terrible title sequence. It's like a high schooler made it. Speaking of title sequences; What is up with Netflix shows that have title sequences but skip them? For example Lost in Space has a title sequence but only on some episodes. On others it's just the quicker title card. What's the reasoning there? It's totally counter intuitive to Netflix platforms strengths.
