Punkin Spunkin posted:Did an AppleTV trial for The Tragedy of Macbeth and goddamn is it lacking. The film too sure, but I mean the streaming service. They really really ain't got poo poo. Any recommendations for their tv series? I ain't watching "Ted Lasso" whatever tf. There's a pro shot recording of the musical Come From Away on there that I can't praise enough. It tells the story of a small community who took in thousands of waylaid travelers after US airspace was closed on 9/11. It's pretty minimalist - small cast, sets that are mostly a bunch of chairs and tables - but the stories they find there are amazing. I'm a cynical bastard but it makes my cold dead heart swell every time. Maybe my favorite musical. Speaking of musicals, Galavant got added (re-added?) to Hulu. It's a fantasy musical comedy written by Dan Fogelman (Tangled), with music and lyrics by Alan Menken (almost every Disney Renaissance movie) and Glenn Slater (whose resume isn't quite as sparkling, but he worked on School of Rock, among others). It's simple, absurd, lighthearted fun. The opening number: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWnDwM0RSX4

Those always go well Oh boy I have good news for you https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1493631216788066310?s=20&t=LNzFcdWcyeMWGI3rR0K0dg Arcane reset my hopes for these sorts of projects, which is real bad because they're definitely going to be poo poo.

It was definitely more semen-forward than I recall the rest of the franchise was.

I got a 4K apple TV back when Directv streaming was doing a "sign up for our service for a month and we'll give you one." It's a great device (and obviously it playing with the other apple stuff in the house nicely is a bonus), but if it ever broke I don't think I could stomach paying for a replacement at, what, 2-3x the cost of the equivalent Roku?

I enjoyed Tenet - how can I hate any movie that involves time travel and has someone turn to the camera and say "don't think about it, just feel it" - but I watched it with subtitles knowing that it would be completely undecipherable otherwise. Being intentionally impossible to understand makes a movie bad, I think. Still probably the best Batman movie. This or Return of the Joker, anyway.

ymgve posted:The (uneseen) antagonist's world moves backwards in time, and is on a collision course with our forward moving world, and will be erased once the timelines meet or some poo poo. So to them it's a battle for their world to survive. The bad guy we see is just a pawn and just wants gold. (As far as I recall, it's been a while) I actually liked this bit with very few reservations. Kenneth Branaugh was trying to bury the macguffin in a dead drop to send it to the future (which is how they had set it up - once you can send things backwards through time, you have two way communication). The macguffin was a device apparently capable of inverting the entire world. It's explicitly said that no one knows what the gently caress that even means, but the future sucks rear end and they're desperate enough to try it, and it probably wouldn't be good for their past/"our" present. EDIT: I cannot stress this enough, I watched this with subtitles and am quite confident I would never have heard any of that over the inverted shootout car chase it was probably delivered during. EDIT again changed hte post I was actually responding to Boxman fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Apr 1, 2022 |

Raimi-chat, The Quick and The Dead is on Netflix, which can't be my favorite of his, but its not because I don't love it to bits. Just a perfect, ridiculous Western.

teagone posted:I saw I had a Target Circle offer for 4 months of Apple TV+ and redeemed that, but also had a 3 month offer in my iPhone Apple TV app, and redeeming both stacked the duration lmao. I now have 7 months of free Apple TV+. What should I watch first? If you're down with stage musicals, I've posted about Come From Away before: Boxman posted:There's a pro shot recording of the musical Come From Away on there that I can't praise enough.

Medullah posted:Haha Evil is so loving bizarre. The Angel wormhole was so dumb yet amazing I just started it, and 6 episodes in I'm getting Sleepy Hollow vibes, which is an extremely good thing. It feels like it's only a matter of time before the procedural format takes a backseat to just absolute nuttiness. None of the leads are as good as Nicole Beharie and Tom Mison tho.

Those are all good recs - I'm especially fond of Search Party and the Other Two - but I also want to throw out The Great Pottery Thrown Down. It's more or less Great British Bake Off except with pottery, and you already know if you want to watch it or not based on that description. Special kudos go to the judge with truly catastrophic hair who frequently cries at peoples, like, tea cups. EDIT: Oh also Infinity Train is excellent animation. Nice, tight little show, each season is 10 15-minute episodes. Undeniably peaks at Season 3. S4 is fine (and has one great supporting cast member) but it's just a let down after S3.

Bananaquiter posted:I have watched 2.5 episodes of Sandman and I just can't take it, it just feels like a YA crossover fanfic. This is an accepted problem with the comics, too. The first arc is generally regarded as very weak and even heavier on the crossover nonsense - Dream runs into Mister Miracle and the Martian Manhunter. The issue immediately after he finishes his big heroic quest, where he meets his sister, is an agreed upon turning point for the book. I'm only 3 episodes in and only sorta feeling it, but I'm certainly going to give it until that episode. I will say they should have gotten Keanu back to play Constantine.

Baron von Eevl posted:Season two should be Nathan trying to get renewed, rehearsing the pitch with someone playing the president of HBO Discovery, and end it with the actual meeting and noting "well, I've actually already shot most of it, in fact we wrap today." I saw it on Twitter, but my vote is for remake of the first season with different people. All of S1 was a rehearsal. Incidentally, the S1 finale is the first thing that really made me hope to god some of this is scripted.

Cats Don't Dance, a charming little animated musical about animal actors trying to make it in Hollywood, is free with ads on Youtube. If you haven't heard of it, it was buried when it came out because it was produced by Turner Animation, which was promptly dissolved in the Warner merger. Starring Jasmine Guy and Scott Bakula, songs by Randy Newman, and choreography assistance from Gene Kelly (his last project before he died). Also has one of the great villain/henchman teams.
