Rageaholic posted:https://twitter.com/StreamOnMax/status/1744765981065654576 I honestly hope HBO has a good support system for her. Don't click this spoiler if you haven't played the second game: Like, it's one thing that she's going to kill Joel, but now she's going to kill Joel played by a beloved actor. She will get hate both from fans of the show and from people who's thirsty for Pedro Pascal.

Like I've heard Scrubs has some realistic points to it amidst the silliness, and some of the David Kelly shows have some realistic points from my viewpoint.

The fact that the Gentlemen got a netflix show is so weird. It's one of Ritchie's most forgettable movies (not as bad as Revolver and not as great as Snatch) and it seems to focus on the least interesting part of the movie (a member of the nobility growing weed).

Bright Bart posted:I grabbed a few episodes of The Gentlemen. I wish I hadn't. I more than want my time back. I'd just be happier going through life thinking there's a dope Ritchie series I can get around to eventually, than having watched it and know it's bad. It's pretty clear that Ritchie has run out of creative juice at this point.

Open Source Idiom posted:Brick owns, and is a very solid murder mystery thing -- to the point where I sort of think that the criticism of the Knives Out films being for being such "poor" murder mysteries isn't sort of beside the point of what they're doing. IMO they're sort of just popcorn thrillers, they're not really intended as anything remotely cerebral and they're fun for being that. The Glasd Onion even straight up says that the murder mystery is dumb. The movies main point isn't about the mystery but about how evil and stupid rich people are.

Okay, the Gentlemen is actually not that bad. Not even loosely connected to the movie though.

Finished the Gentlemen and it's a marked improvement over the movie and probably the best thing Guy Ritchie has done in years.

Finished Lioness and I have no idea what make to make of it. It is simultaneously "gently caress yeah, let's kill some terrorists" and "we're just creating the next generation of terrorists". The main characters are also both stupid and assholes: Zoe Saldana's character who's supposed to be very capable pulls out an undercover agent to give her a crash course in torture which leaves the agent with bruises that almost blows her cover. Her daughter survives a crash which to spontaneously abort. The dad then basically calls her a drunken slut who caused the death of her friends, he's supposed to be the good guy. They fair better than the rest of the special ops team however who's biggest character traits are their beards. Then outta loving nowhere, Morgan Freeman appears.

Bright Bart posted:Ya'll acting like it doesn't often take 3 years to bring out a new season of an HBO/ABC/FX show at the best of times. The two year gap between season 7 and 8 of GoT was pretty unprecedented and that was a show with lots of special effects shot on a variety of different locations.

Big McHuge posted:2 episodes into 3BP and I can't quite describe why, but the dialogue just feels off. The non-subtitled parts feel like a poorly translated dub like one of the spanish/italian series that Mrs McHuge watches. My impression is that there's nothing they can do with the results. It's just random nonsense.

Oasx posted:At first the show presents it as the results not lining up with current scientific theories, the idea that our view of science could be completely wrong should excite a good part of the science community not lead them to kill themselves. It's pretty clear from the first scenes in the first episode that scientists aren't killing themselves because of the colliders being buggy. It's even implied that they're not actually killing themselves when the detective says that they sure are committing suicide in weird ways.

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, my favourite of the three is Jupiter Ascending. Just completely awesome, an Edgar Wright Burrows pastiche with tonnes of camp and and a great villain performance from Eddie Redmayne. Terry Gilliam cameos in a Brazil world sequence. There's the wedding sequence... I can totally see why others would hate it, but I had a blast. Redmayne's acting was so terrible that he either must've done it intentionally to sabotage the movie or that he was directed wrongly...as a joke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09ckBIXZ044&t=5s

Open Source Idiom posted:Nah, his performance owns and is perfect for what the film is doing (which is knowing camp). Someone should've told the directors and the other actors that. Redmayne's acting is bad, but at least he acts, unlike Mila Kunis who just recites her lines.

Watched Telemarketeres on HBO. It was interesting. But one thing, they make a big deal out of the fact that the telemarketing companies don't do background checks. Which is kinda funny to me coming from a country where background checks are illegal except for very specific jobs. I had to take one because I worked with kids and even then they could only check for crimes related to children.

So Baby Reindeer was pretty soul destroying, in the last episode when the father quietly says "I grew up on in the catholic church...." it felt like an emotional nuclear bomb went of.
