thatfuturekid posted:I Think You Should Leave is amazing. Every time I watch it, I have a new favorite sketch. Right now, I think it's the burger one from S2, or maybe the Drivers Ed video. "DON'T ASK ABOUT THE TABLES" Joke spoiler, I guess. The Driver's Ed one is such a great bit to put toward the end of the season. In a show where the running gag is people acting in bizarre ways, it's so funny to have a sketch where the punchline is that everything suddenly makes sense. Oh, and since its in the first post, was the Hawkeye show decent? I just assumed it was trash from the trailers and never poked around about it. Also sucks to hear that about Star Trek. It was obvious that it'd happen eventually, but it still stings to see the balkanization that everyone feared when the streaming services started.

Nihonniboku posted:I think the issue is that Michael Bluth still owes them a ton of money to be laundered, and he's still the best at his job, so that's why he's still alive? Yeah, I think the background idea is that he's not exactly replaceable and he's generally been successful at snowing them on how well the plan's going. Also, if they kill him they've got a bunch of money spread out all over the Caribbean and they'll be hiring 100 Saul Goodmen to buy nail salons across the country which sounds like it'd suck.

The Puppy Bowl posted:The movie is not about "dumb sheeple" it is about a ruling elite incapable of navigating avoidable catastrophe because doing so would mildly compromise their positions of absolute comfort. Instead they get high on their own supply by imagining up obviously doomed "smart and nuanced" solutions that coincidentally change nothing systemically. I'd also repeat the bit someone here said about how at some point people decided that satire had to be subtle. But it doesn't have to be, some of the best satire is subtle as a brick to the head. And it apparently it has to be since I've seen a number of people be disappointed that the movie didn't have some deus ex machina tech solution or great political victory when...congrats that was kind of the whole point.

Booyah- posted:King's Man is bizarre, they took the concept of the first movie and removed all the irony and jokes. I saw it back in theaters and walked away not loving it. I feel like it's bad and not interesting to say that it feels like 3 films stapled together, but drat does is it a confused movie. The first third feels close to the series and is the only part where it feels like they're having fun. Big, dumb Rasputin fight was entertaining enough even if we did gently caress around for a long time to get there. But then it's time for a sad, separate movie about how war is hell and then a weirdly played straight spy thriller that's way too small scale and personal. There's nothing equivalent to the first or second movie's third act action. All that buildup for a shootout in a dark room with a villain who I don't give a poo poo about, except he killed a dude who ran death camps (canonically within the film even), but I guess he's evil. And the politics are just as weird and confused. There are times where they seem to be acknowledging it and taking the standard view that WWI is just kings fighting kings, and you know, that's the whole thing that The Kingsman' agency was supposed to stop. So okay. And for a bit they at least sidestep it by the characters' motivation just being the quick end of the war. And then it just drifts to being kind of gross and about protecting Britain, a thing that the main character doesn't seem to particularly care about for most of the film. The Kitchener stuff was the weirdest. The man who was introduced as running death camps that the heroes wife died trying to stop gets a dramatic death that leaves the Duke all sad. Eh, too many words but the movie was just so disappointing. There was a brief moment at the start, when they use an umbrella to bat the explosives away from Ferdinand, that I thought it was going to go absolutely nuts with a fun alt-history. Which I would have loved. But then they just kind of turned it into "Remember When..." the movie and it sucked. Parakeet vs. Phone fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Feb 20, 2022 |

Kinda beaten, but whatever  . A MIRACLE posted:what are some good ghost in the shells. I keep seeing new ones pop up every few years. I've only seen the movie but the movie was sweet The first 2 Stand Alone Complex series were pretty good (just regular Stand Alone Complex and then "2nd Gig"). Only ever heard bad things about Stand Alone Complex: 2045, but I'd be happy to hear different. They're different than the movie because they're shorter episodes and there are plenty of stand alone ones (heh) beside the serial ones. I haven't watched the Solid State Society movie, but I think I heard it was decent. If you haven't seen it yet, you can also check out the sequel to the original movie, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. It's really pretty, from what I remember, even if it's a little meandering. It's based on a fairly short story within the manga so it's stretched out with a lot of Batou dealing with the emotional aftermath of the first movie. I liked it as a teenage but haven't not gone back since.

Ramrod Hotshot posted:That was such a disappointing movie. All I wanted was Drive 2: Bangkok Drift. And come on that would've been awesome. It sticks with me as a really interesting movie and I remember it having one of the better threads here. It's a great, frustrating depiction of an incompetent character who's basically stuck in a Death Wish movie. That's pretty neat...not necessarily interesting to actually watch outside of a few scenes though. I guess I should try Too Old To Die Young.

At least with Netflix I can gently caress around in one of their little categories pretty easily, even if they occasionally insist that I'd like to watch Hush because I liked Bob's Burgers. With HBO it either needs to be on my list, a new series or one of the month's highlights. If not, then congrats, you can just browse through every movie in a broad genre through a laggy app.

Tiny Timbs posted:There's a lot of things making their service look pretty bad right now. It's bizarre to see them flailing publicly in response to the quarterly report; the instant appearance of plans to implement advertising tiers, punish account sharers, defund content, and limit their service in other ways make them look panicked. There are probably some meaningful, long-term changes they could make to attract subscribers again but rushed decision-making isn't going to get them there. Not to get all  about it, but it's still a huge if not surprising bummer that this is the response to investors realizing that infinite growth isn't possible and that the golden age of Covid streaming wouldn't last forever. Like, there's a world where they just take a breath, cut some costs, maybe don't blow 100 million dollars casting big stars in trashy B movies that no one remembers and focus on retaining members overall and aim to survive things thinning out in the future. Instead they're going to annoy the hell out of their existing subscribers, kill a bunch of shows that they like and also kill a bunch of shows that their kids might like (I actually have no idea how Netflix Kids is doing, but that's gotta suck for parents who used it).

For fairness, I'll give the weak backup that when Briggs was interviewed for Last Podcast on the Left awhile back to talk about the Shudder show he started to wander off on a "Yeah, you just can't make a good horror movie anymore. All these drat snowflakes today..." before the hosts kind of pulled him back. I'd say it was more old and grumpy than bad though. If they'd like him go on I think it was just going to be a regular dumb You Couldn't Make Blazing Saddles point.

punk rebel ecks posted:I just finished the first episode of Ozark and it comes across as “Breaking Bad: Republican Edition”. I'm not quite sure how you're getting that. Like Marty's liberarian speech at the beginning isn't meant to be good any more than Gordon Gecko's speech is. He does the whole diatribe about money being everything, except he immediately loses all of his money and almost gets his whole family killed because he was greedy and loving around with dangerous people and stupid people. I'm watching the final season now, so lol if I don't like where it goes, but the start was pretty good at making Marty a pretty pathetic kind of guy. I really liked the bit of characterization where Marty's true fantasy is picking up a sex worker just so that she could tell him what an awesome man he was and that his wife was entitled and ungrateful and no one understood what a cool, smart, handsome man he was and what he sacrificed. I thought it painted quite the picture. It takes him a bit to go full monster with them but I thought they did an alright job of getting ahead of the Walter White is a sick rear end anti-hero.

nonathlon posted:It's not real important to the plot either. It's more about how people deal with crisis and a loss of faith, with the alien invasion as a motivating force. I like to think that Signs is what's happening off screen in Independence Day. I think that's the problem though and what most people are poking at when they complain about the dumb aliens. The first half of the movie is a good spooky family drama thing that really nailed the feeling of overwhelming doom and then it just kind of turns into a Pureflix drama about faith and God and fate which sucks if you liked the first half  .That's why you don't have people poking around much at The Happening. It's such a bad movie that nobody felt disappointed enough to care, but there's a few good bits of Signs that make you feel invested.

Inspector Hound posted:After watching a few episodes of The Closer, I've decided the chief detective is a complete villain and crime is good. I don't want to act like the show ever went ACAB, since it was a TNT procedural, but for what it's worth they kind of acknowledge that Sedgewick's character is a pretty iffy person at best and the satisfying victories in the show only come when she's unleashed on worse people. I didn't watch many of the early episodes, but by the end they have some plot points in play to that effect.

Major Crimes was apparently really forgettable because I definitely watched all of it back when it was on and I don't really remember much of it. It's basically just more of the same except with a new lead. Although it kind of goes in the opposite direction where it's about a by-the-book internal affairs cop getting more slippery as the show goes on. The central gimmick that they started with was that she was desperate to get deals because it saved money and reduced the risk of a trial.

Perestroika posted:So I started Bosch since I heard good things about it both here and elsewhere, but I gotta say after the first episode my impression is a bit mixed. The actual detective work was well done, but the opening in particular featured some pretty rancid copaganda what with the whole "hard-bitten cop who doesn't play by the rules gets unfairly hounded by the meanie IA just because he killed a guy" thing. Does it get better about that as the series goes on, or at least less in-your-face? Or is that more something you just gotta put up with to get to the good parts? There's an important bit that sometimes got lost on the forum that Bosch is really good...if you like cop/detective stories. If you're not picking up what it's putting down, then it's nothing special. For the scene in the opener, season 1 spoilers, The show ultimately is clear enough settling on a point similar to how Justified treated Raylan. If you haven't seen Justified maybe check it out too. It's obvious that Bosch did a technically legal murder for vigilante reasons and the show's clear that it's not a great thing even if it doesn't condemn it. Bosch is gray area at best within the show's logic. Some of the later seasons deal with Bosch going to worse and worse places and treat it as a bad thing. The show overall kind of drifts back and forth toward copaganda stuff and usually comes out alright. The only egregious one I remember is a trash sub-story in like season 4 or 5 where a case integrity unit has the audacity to review a shady case Bosch did. It's all because Bosch's crazy ex has an ax to grind . It sucked enough to about make me give up the show but the ending's not terrible and I don't think they ever dropped back to that point.

Yeah, it looks like Dragged Across Concrete is finally on streaming so I might finally catch it, but my understanding of it was the controversy was that he went kind of mask off and lovely/racist/right-wing in Dragged Across Concrete. Where it was mostly buried/just unfortunate in Bone Tomahawk and just kind of chilling in the boring first 15 minutes of Brawl in Cell Block 99.

I just got really burned out on the framing of the podcast. It's pretty questionable at times. Stuff like "Well, yeah, his sister removed a bunch of the inheritance from the safety deposit boxes but she was just doing that to get his attention. Really he deserved it for being a bad brother." Does it just focus on the shrink and the guy? That'd probably work a lot better. The story was good when it had a narrow focus.

Timby posted:I don't get the whining about ads. People are mad about bad ads, as noted Freevee and Tubi have a bad habit of just slamming them into the middle of scenes. Also ad creep. HBO Max and Netflix are going to start lower ad-filled levels and almost certainly raise the price of the ad-free service shortly afterward. Disney won't let you get a bundle with Hulu without ads so it's a double tax on getting it ad-free if you'd like to have Disney+. Amazon Prime had a bunch of TV included in the membership. Now as a "feature" a bunch of it is on helpfully on Freevee, because they realized a lot of people have Amazon Prime for other stuff so they can cut TV/Movies without much drama. All the people who liked watching Bosch on Amazon Prime now have to watch ads cause it's on Freevee. I guess it's cool that the one person without Amazon prime who started fresh with Bosch: Legacy gets to see it for free, but it's bad for everybody else .

Paracausal posted:Watched The Gray Man last night after missing out on the discourse a fortnight ago. Wow, what a stinker. A couple of good lines in a morass of lovely writing coupled with hyperactive editing. $200mil burnt at the altar of action Wickification. Bleh. Honestly I wished that they could at least take some of the good lessons from John Wick. I didn't catch the whole thing, but caught part of it from someone else watching it. I saw the big fight in the town square. And...how do you make a fight between dozens of heavily armed cops and hit teams boring? The action just snaps all over the place, like you said, just horrific editing. I was dying for some stable Wick shots where I could see a stuntman just doing his thing for 10 drat seconds. It was expensive as hell, let me loving look at some people shooting each other. Don't rip the camera all the way across the square to scream LOOK ITS A MACHINE GUN and then it fires aimlessly at bad guy red shirts and then I snap back to some other guy. And then snap to a third guy dying. Also that fight had the villain doing the whole "How hard is it to kill a man who's HANDCUFFED TO A RAIL!" joke. Which was maybe a funny nod and a wink the first time. But then they did it like 3 or 4 more times until it just kind of sucked and felt like, yeah, this is kinda goofy and you wrote a bad action scene. Cool that you realized it, I guess . But yeah, $200 million to make a movie that felt like a Redbox level film with really wasted talent.

So who knows what the gently caress they're planning for them now. I assumed people weren't talking about Reservation Dogs much because it didn't seem to get a huge ad push. It took me a minute to grasp that the new commercials were for a new season and not just "Hey, watch this!" I'm still stuck in Season 1 but I'm hoping to get through all of it soon. Cool show.

I haven't watched a ton of it, but I think my personal favorite was one of the Naked and Afraid XL that had a team of 3 guys spend all day working naked in an African summer heat swearing that they didn't need food or water because they were strong. Insisting to the other team they ran into that they didn't need water yet and that obviously the smartest move was to spend all day gathering and very strenuously chopping wood to build a big shelter. Everybody was hosed up by the second day and one went into, I think, seizures from electrolyte depletion and they had to evac him. Just incredible to watch 3 idiots run themselves into the ground. Alone does have the fun moments where the cop or army guy sees bear poop, realizes that this poo poo is real, and taps out after 30 minutes. To be fair, I would also do that, but that's why I wouldn't go on the show. Or the kind of fun one where they got a guy who was just angry as hell and being a prick about how he was going to min-max the competition. "No you don't get it, fishing is calorie negative. It's worthless so I won't do it. Oh, these idiots are building nice shelters and crafting. I won't do it. I saw someone make a little hoop game to play. Idiots. I'm just going to sit here on my stump all day and outlast them all  ." And he went stir-crazy after about a week of that and tapped out because he was losing his mind. Turns out having little luxuries or distractions is kind of important.

There is something funny about a cop seeing a bear in the distance or bear poop and freaking the gently caress out. When later seasons had stuff like a hippie girl seeing a whole big skeleton (cow I think) and then just casually noting that the base of the skull/neck was broken indicating that a puma was in the area at some point and took down a whole cow. And that was roughly where she'd be sleeping. ymgve posted:I do feel it's kind of lovely of the producers to place them in an area with dangerous wildlife. First episode of season 1 and this dude caught a bear with cubs on camera, no poo poo you want to bail out then. It all seems to come down to luck whether you're dropped into a bear's territory or not. I think the behind the scenes thing is that in most places the heavy vehicle and human activity in the weeks beforehand scare off most of the predators (and game animals) before they get there. That's why the pumas and such weren't as big of a threat in the middle seasons (I haven't watched past All Stars). Bears are a little more used to nearby humans so they don't scare as easy. That said, they have horns and they give them instructions on avoidance if they do see a bear. They have room to maneuver usually. The one cop I remember who had cubs wander into her camp hosed up and ignored their rules about cooking meat away from your camp. She thought that the smoke would cover the scent of the fish . That was legit scary though. And...sort of spoilers for kayfabe but the area on Vancouver Island is supposedly really close to civilization. You can apparently find most of the campsites on Google Maps and some of them have been within a few miles of logging roads, buildings and I think even a proper road once. So seeing a bear with cubs is scary, but it's also a thing a bunch of rural people deal with sometimes. That's probably my one tip for watching. If you think you'd like to watch a lot of it, you should probably start with 1 or 2 since it may be a little boring to go back to an "easier" survival area. If you're looking for one good one, read the suggestions from other goons who saw the later season. Probably skip the 2 people team season. I remember it being a huge letdown. Great concept, terrible execution. I want to say something like almost half of the teams didn't even make it to the meetup.

They claim that the crew don't really talk to them during the battery changes, hard to say if that's true obviously. They start showing some of the wellness check-ins once they start to matter so you get an idea of how much interaction they have. Not much beyond the reminder that you're not literally alone. I think they're also more brief in the beginning because they're not having to do BMI math and all that. Supposedly they do all film their own shots. But the crew do also get establishing shots and interstitials during the setup phase. They always make sure to get a scary-looking video of a dangerous animal to put in the previews that was taken before anybody showed up. But some contestants have fun doing cool nature shots. It'd help keep you from getting bored. Papercut posted:They have a weekly medical checkup iirc where they also give them fresh batteries for the cameras, and have other sorts of checkins, but also I've heard some of the contestants have set timelines in terms of max stay and so when someone seems to be doing great but then suddenly goes home I think it's often that Mild kayfabe talk but I'll follow suit There are some that definitely don't seem to plan on winning who are just grateful for the experience. They're at least fun to watch, so I don't mind. At the same time, the producers have said that the issue is that since they are reliant on the people to self-film they're at their mercy for narratives. Some of the people who suddenly drop out were eating poo poo for days and either put on a brave face for the camera or they just stopped filming as much footage. I think they've said before that they've had that problem occasionally where someone doing bad just stops giving a poo poo about filming and it makes it hard on them to edit together a satisfying exit. Also at least one guy who probably hurt himself on purpose so he could tap out.

Oh, I think they get more than 1 camera. All the search results keep saying that they get 5 but that may just be for recent seasons thanks to GoPro and tiny camera tech. Not sure if that was true back in Season 1 but I think they got more than 1. So I assume he set up the cameras on the bank and then went out. It would explain why it's a steady shot. In each season there are a few people who are really proud of their projects and they probably put a little too much effort into them. Definitely, some people who want to be nature doc people more than they care about winning. But again, I guess it also fights the boredom.
