It'll act as the buffer state between the northern parliament of Manchester United and the Londoners who have returned to steampunk Victorian aesthetics.

Eric Cantonese posted:I honestly know nothing about the African film industry. How sophisticated and financially resourced is it? Korea had a pretty professionalized television and film industry for decades before Hallyu really blew up in recent years. Every country has its own film industry pretty much. But Ugandan action movies are especially amazing. Who Killed Captain Alex is a must see.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:Three writers, including Zack Snyder, and it's his concept. Even Stanley Kubrick didn't direct off his original screenplays (afaik). There's something to be said to having a director direct and a screenwriter write. But then again Kubrick had an immense influence on the screenplays he commissioned. I guess what I'm trying to get at is I'd be more way more interested in Snyder movies if he had another voice in there at the scripting stage.

Some Guy TT posted:are there any good series on hulu at all i am frustrated by the lack of good content on a hulu sub that just sits around eating money Yeah just deleted my sib doing the same. Fargo's latest season (which absolutely is pulling stuff from No Country as well as other Coen bros stuff) which so far is the tightest season of the show so far. You got Solar Opposites and Rick and Moety which are quick and digestible. The Bear along with any other FX offerings like What We Do in The Shadows. Surprising amount of A24 movies tho there are plenty of those on Amazon (which I also deleted lol).

Just beat Disco Elysium which was a loving ride, and currently enjoying playing the hell out of Devil May Cry 5 which is alot more fun than J thought it was gonna be (I thought it was going to be one of those Soul like games I've tried and quit due to the difficulty and aggravating nature of them).

KirbyKhan posted:I kinda miss sex in tv shows. It's been so long since the early seasons of Power. It's been so long since Game of Thrones opened the series with a backshot that slammed so hard it crippled the future king. Been watching Obliterated on Netflix which I picked up based on the TVIV Best of 2023 thread. Real good and funny scenes involving copious nudity.

nonathlon posted:Agreed. One perceptive review of Saltburn noted that it's a film by a rich person on how rich people are kinda hosed up but it's not their fault. Yeah it definitely had this undercurrent:of "watch out for the crazy poors" Absolute trash movie. But someone was just telling me it's the Xmas movie if the season, with a bunch of families thinking it's a mystery set in the English countryside and instead get a dude loving a grave lmao

PriorMarcus posted:Part of the strength of early GoT is the dialogue and monologues, and those are lifted entirely from the novels. Once they started to invent there own it went to poo poo. Agree with the post as a whole but there are great dialogue scenes in S1 that aren't lifted from the books. Like alot of King Rob's speeches for example.

awkward_turtle posted:In the book the question is more weighty, because living creatures are objects of essentially religious investment to the point where it's a point of pride and aspirational goal to have a robot dog. Just seeing a turtle would provoke a huge reaction from a human, even more so seeing one suffer. The replicants don't have souls and are more directly cruel, from what I can remember (it's been like 15 years) they have essentially no redeeming characteristics. The best lines in the whole thing were invented for the movie, which delves a lot more into the "enslaved thinking machine" aspect and a lot less into the "nature of self and what it means to have a soul" aspects of the original story. The mobius strip police station is such a brilliant idea holy poo poo. What a great and easy read.

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, the thing that got me is one bit where the characters watch a gay gangbang porno but the thing is shot so you never seen a cock or even a naked butt. Nearly all the regulars, who literally live in Hell and according to the first episode see worse than that walking down the street, react like they're watching something incredibly depraved and upsetting. A raunchy comedy is about how great excess is but the show seems weirdly repressed about it all. Obliterated was downright refreshing with the equal amount or even greater amounts of dong flashes. Except for that one scene. You know the one.

theflyingexecutive posted:I think there was a time 15ish years ago when normal people were first spending a lot of time online that everyone was pretty honest. it wasn't a perfect slice of what society was up to because some people posted everything they did and some people more or less lurked, but there was a lot of casualness. There were alot things that were better then but it was a lot meaner and there some awful poo poo you had to scroll thru just to talk about some nerd poo poo that I prefer not hearing ppl's thoughts about minorities or women or what the gently caress. That's an improvement. E: and you couldn't say anything or otherwise be labeled the f word or whatever. It was exhausting and it sucked, especially as a minority.

Best Friends posted:One of the things that stuck with me after reading that book was the sheer number of women executed for infanticide until it hit me, oh, that was SIDS + malnutrition I just read a thesis on witchcraft and misogyny and basically if you were in Germany or similarly crazed countries in the height of the witch craze if your baby died and you were vulnerable enough, instant branding as a witch. That and if you were an ild lady, because they were too gross to gently caress (to paraphrase the writer of that famous witchcraft manual that us responsible for more direct deaths than Mein Kampf).

Bro Dad posted:I admire people who live by their principles--even when I don't agree with them. I don't much like communism, particularly the soul crushing evil done in its name through much of history, but I have a romantic's soft spot for an old Bolshie who took to the hills as a young man, believed in their heart that they were liberating their people from oppression (particularly if whoever they were fighting against was a uniquely bad bastard). Perhaps this will explain my visceral loathing for Daniel Ortega--seemingly the President For Life of Nicaragua, a guy who, clearly, has two sets of principles. One for the Nicaraguan people--and one for himself. My detestation of Nicaragua's Maximum Leader is exceeded only by my admiration for its people who deserve so much better.
