pumped up for school posted:Cliffhanger. I'm a sucker for these kinds of shows. Weird fetish for scifi/horror/thrillers when the cast is isolated so thought it would be up my alley. Also I've worked on platforms so the sets were a blast of nostalgia. I very much recommend skipping it. Welp. Thanks for the advice. Stuff like The Thing always gets at least a glance from me.

regulargonzalez posted:Just started watching White Lotus. Two episodes in and I despise every character. (Except maybe the massage shop manager.) I know that's kind of the point but it makes it a hard slog. I want a tsunami to come and wipe everyone out. There'll be a scene with one group of characters and I can't wait for it to end because they're all so hateable, and then the scene will end and the next scene will be full of even worse people. I was annoyed with season 1 for the same reason and liked season 2 better. Vague, nonspecific spoiler about the ending: In the first season I felt everyone didn't get what they deserved, but in the 2nd season I was mostly satisfied that everyone got what they deserved. For better or worse. The whole show feels a bit weird because it seems like you should hate the characters but then the way it plays out it feels like the show wants you to like these character as if they're good but flawed people and not just a bunch of assholes.

Deadite posted:The episode of Community they chose to remove was odd because in season 4 there is an episode where Pierce paints his hands as racist puppets. I'm not sure how they decided Chang pretending to be an elf was worse than the old racist character being racist. The dipshits zeroed in completely on "blackface". Nothing more, nothing less. Someone got mad at a blackface joke specifically so all blackface had to be erased. Always Sunny drops N bombs and those are still there. It was just blackface or anything that could in bad faith be considered blackface.

Huge stretch. Is The Stationary Bike about exactly what I'd think a Stephen King story called that would be about?

I've seen the the end of Rogue One several times before AEW Dynamite starts and the scene where Vader wrecks poo poo and kills fools on Leia's ship owns. It feels like nothing else in the movie could live up to that.

One other thing I've noticed is Hulu appears to have longer versions of some of the episodes. Or at least the pilot.

precision posted:Is it better or worse than the usual Saw garbage I think it's average. Not the worst Saw movie but certainly not the best. Maybe the most frustrating part is it almost does something interesting but then recoil because apparently the status quo of characters must be preserved even if it's only a 90 minute movie.

Nihonniboku posted:Yeah, I watched the first episode, and even though the concept was very much up my alley, it didn't draw me in at all. Last night I tried to watch the second episode, and turned it off 15 minutes in just because it was so boring. It just seems like the main strategy of Apple is to throw a lot of money at big name stars, with it only working 10% of the time with their shows. Only a handful of shows on Apple+ are actually worth watching, but you wouldn't think it given that every single show has high profile actors starring in it. I have to wonder how much they're hemorrhaging money, and when they'll try and reign it in like Disney is now doing with Disney+ and cancelling or delaying a bunch of MCU shows, even those already filmed. I just started a 3 month free trial with Apple and I'm really underwhelmed. I feel like I'm missing a menu or something because it seems like they have maybe 25 things on the service. There's probably only 10 or so things I'd be interested in watching and that's being generous. No way I'm sticking around after the free trial. I'll just check back in a few years for new seasons of the shows.

Discovery has corrected changes it made to director and writer credits in its rollout of Max after receiving harsh blowback from the Directors Guild and the Writers Guild. In a statement today, Max said: “We agree that the talent behind the content on Max deserve their work to be properly recognized. We will correct the credits, which were altered due to an oversight in the technical transition from HBO Max to Max and we apologize for this mistake.” "Mistake"

RestingB1tchFace posted:Starship Troopers is on Netflix for those that don't already own the blu-ray. A masterpiece in big budget satire. Unique in that no studio ever approved a movie like it since....and probably never will. I genuinely don't think the studio knew it was satire. I was amazed at how many people didn't get it when it came out.

Open Source Idiom posted:It's not that recent. It's basically been a known quirk of the Netflix algorithm since early on -- I think the logic is that the platform isn't going to advertise a show to you that it knows you're going to watch, but it's all black box poo poo so who knows. My theory is it's the grocery store strategy of putting poo poo like the milk and the pharmacy at the back so you have to walk through the rest of the store.

If the focus of Lost was supposed to be small stories about 20 people dealing with their daddy issues they should have set it some place normal like everyone working in a hospital or grocery store or something and not a mysterious magical island. Of course no one would have watched their badly plotted out personal dramas about everyone having daddy issues without the mysterious magical island so here we are.
