Nihonniboku posted:The trailers for season 1 just looked like a The Good Place rip off, with an uncharismatic lead that it just didn't look interesting. Is it actually good? It was enjoyable, it can kind of be viewed as inspired by The Good Place, but instead of ethics and philosophy it's capitalism and identity. Basic setting information when death is imminent a digital copy of your consciousness can be created and uploaded to an 'afterlife' controlled by which ever conglomerate you had a contract with. Part cellphone plan/part mmo your contract determines how much data your consciousness is allowed to use each month and what you have access to without buying DLC. Stuff like what it's like for people who can't afford the best, if you're a digital upload are you still you if memory gets corrupted, and internet black markets are addressed at some point in later episodes as well as a few darker things

regulargonzalez posted:Pretty good movie with some ridiculous, nonsensical behavior from a character in the 3rd act, and I think Bradley Cooper is one tier of acting ability too low to pull off the main character. I think I would've liked to see the version where Leo didn't pull out to do Don't Look Up.

Polygon actually tracked down the etymology and yeah it was a regularly used term. 40 years ago when you scored high enough to get a free play in Pac Man.

When they say copyright hell, they mean it. Nobody knows who currently has the rights to the series. Like 5 companies claim they do, but none can provide definitive contracts that said that rights were included in the associated sales. M. Night was going to do a reboot 10 years ago but the production company walked away from half a mil in preproduction when they saw what the lawyers fees would be to untangle it.

Actually I should have double checked if there were any updates. It was resolved just before Christmas of last year. Turns out Joel Silver's production company legally owned the rights all along. When he found out they ceded them back to William Gaines' estate. Maybe WB will license it back in time to put it on HBO Max for Halloween.

Not really more than you'd expect a big through line in the series is Motley Crue is past their prime and there's a scene where Tommy Lee has a freak out because they've been bumped to Studio B so Third Eye Blind can record in Studio A.

The only chatter I've heard about him is that some of the metadata on the Olivia Wilde photos that leaked a few months ago points to him being the one that leaked them. The timing during their custody hearings certainly didn't help the look either.

ymgve posted:I mean, I'd be pissed if they suddenly took The Wire and Sopranos off to rotate them, I assume that's stuff that BonoMan meant with "their own" catalog No, stuff produced by HBO never rotates. Stuff owned by WB will rotate because, even they're owned by the same company, HBO still needs to pay licensing costs to the division that owns the rights.

Only watched the first episode of the new Resident Evil but it seems to occupy a better space then the movies. Its doing the mandatory two timelines thing but its not shying away from the creepier mutant animals the T Virus creates and Lance Reddick is great as Wesker.

Glottis posted:Wow. Resident Evil is impressively bad. Usually I watch all this genre garbage but after 1 episode I'm done. It's a couple of things but generic script with RE slapped onto it definitely isn't one the show makes repeated references to the first three games and the girls uncovering what happened there is a big part of the middle of the season. Plus there's half an episode dedicated to running around the house doing the escape room bit that the games love so much.

B-Rock452 posted:Warrior owns (show and movie) but Banshee (by one of the producers of warrior) is also on HBO max and that show kicks all sorts of rear end. Just some incredible fights and action. Only knock I've ever had against Warrior is that it needs a lot more "gently caress your mother" s to sound authentically Chinese.

Starks posted:That rumoured explanation doesn’t really make sense to me. It’s a finished 90m dollar movie. Unless it’s insanely offensive somehow, anything would be better than shelving it. Its not finished, there was still a chunk of post to do on it. There's a special tax credit a studio can take for a production that's filmed but never aired for whatever reason. Someone probably did some analysis and decided that they'd make more money from the credit then they would spending the money on finishing it and airing it.
