I can't always get into Jenny videos but some of them are pretty entertaining. I know she still exists but doesn't seem to make videos any more. Did she move to some other platform or project?

I still see star wars fans constantly trying to think up ways to save the franchise and it always entirely misses the point. They'll just start listing cool characters we haven't seen in live action or "Actually we've had very little official content set in the 6 ABY time frame, there's so much interesting stuff going on in canon". None of that poo poo matters, what matters is good writing, a good production. But I feel like the fans and disney are still so stuck in this "action figure" mentality where they just need to figure out the right mix of action figures to throw together and surely they'll have a hit. No, just do what Andor did and just do good writing, just give a poo poo about the actual production and not which characters and which force powers are on display

Everyone seems to be talking about Starship Troopers suddenly on the internet. I've been seeing some wild poo poo including: -A perfectly great description of the movie being an amazing parody of fascist propaganda. They 100% understood the movie and seemed to really understand fascism and how decaying fascist states need a war. But the closing remarks were then comparing Ukraine and "the west" to the decaying Federation from Starship Troopers and Russia and BRICs to the bugs who are now simply defending themselves and we need to support Russia's defense of their natural sphere of influence and hasten the decay of the fascist west. -Nazi's and alt-right types going on and on about how even in the movie the federation is in the right and is good and how of course libs rather have humanity destroyed by bugs than ever admit a war economy might need a little discipline. Look how diverse the federation is. HOW can you say they're coded as nazi's or even right wing when there's racial diversity in the movie. This is a genuinely utopian society! -Actually the Federation is clearly a satire on liberal society because the useless military is head by a BLACK WOMAN who's obviously bad at her job and there's forced diversity everywhere. It's crystal clear that the movie is showing how a society with so much forced diversity and women in the military is destined to fail. The federation's propaganda and brainwashing in school is exactly what the democrats/libs want. People are loving insane.

I've never heard of the bloodhound gang and I'm only barely familiar with marilyn manson so I almost wasn't even going to watch it, but golly I just love my boys too much. They can make any low-effort phoned in trivia game charming.

I watched some RLM clips from some years ago and I forgot how much Mike has just actually become Mr. Plinkett at this point. He was a sharp minded handsome man back in the day, now he's bringing a barely coherent purple hands energy to every video. I love every mike era and I hope he's living his best life.

I like how Mike can't imagine how the Empire works. Like how does any government work? Yeah people join the empire, just like how people join the army or join the state department or become a cop or become a local judge or get a nice paying job at Newport News shipyards. That's the whole point of Andor, it shows the banality of the whole thing. Yeah there's thousands of middle class core worlds paying taxes and funneling tax money from their economies into the empire, just as they did in the republic. Also they're so correctly mad about the idea of Luthen being a Jedi but then demand an entire missing-the-point-of-the-character rehabilitation arc for arc for Kyle's character? Guys come on, you were so close to understanding the character by seeing the parallels with Andor.

God drat this fallout show kinda sucks despite looking pretty good and having good people in it. It has that real amazon vibe to it all, this real writing-for-children vibe where everything is extremely on the nose and the writers want to make sure there's no layers you might not pick up on. Every scene drags on just in case you didn't understand what was going on. It stinks like Foundation, which was an extremely garbage production. I joked that the writing felt so bad Todd Howard must be personally involved, and boy there he is in the credits as a producer. There's just zero subtlety or nuance, and when there is, the show is very quick to remove any subtlety within a minute or two tops just in case you were looking at your phone. I've only seen the first 3 so far but I'm not sure I have it in me to keep watching.

dreezy posted:i never watched voy but it really seems like the premise of being stranded in the alpha quadrant would have been way way better with ds9's tone and direction and serialized survival story that late 90s upn probably wasnt ready for but i also assume everyone feels this way This is what battlestar was since it's the ds9 writer who went over to voy and was told they can't do any interesting long form arcs. Except he got so excited he could do his brutal gritty drama filled space adventure that he forgot to give BSG a plot.

The actual reason is that frakes was doing some period western or something that required the beard and the trek production thought he looked fine with it so they kept it.

Between Lost, BSG, and some really bad D&D DM's I've had over the years I have serious trust issues with "writers" and their loving mystery boxes. It's why I've almost stopped watching shows as their air and only give them a chance once they're totally finished so I know not to waste my time with a show that tries to write a ton of mystery cheques that are all eventually going to bounce.

I loved shogun but the last episode left me deeply unsatisfied and feeling kinda blue balled. But that's basically exactly how the book ends too, so I don't really blame them. You're just left to infer and imagine what happened afterwards but I wanted some extended cut Return of the King style ending. I ended up reading a ton about the actual guy the Anjin was based off of, and boy he had a much more interesting story where everything covered by the Shogun miniseries was barely the beginning of.

Gutcruncher posted:The popes exorcist was funny, it starts out basically like “hey it’s like the exorcist but lamer” and then he goes underground and proves the crusades weren’t the Christian’s fault and then kung fu fights demons and then gets accepted into the avengers I've always found it in really poor taste when some work of fiction decides to take some horrific historical event and put some new spin on it to absolve the perpetrators or somehow make it seem like it was all for a good reason we just don't know about. I think it was White Wolf who got correctly poo poo on for creating some WWII source book that explained all the behind the scenes supernatural stuff going on during the war and how, actually, the holocaust was kinda good or at least a necessary evil.

I feel like such a weirdo that I haven't liked the fallout series at all. Not due to some LORE CANON nitpicks, I just don't think its well written and it feels like a boring chore to watch it. The fact that i was watching it and shogun at the same time didn't help, but it really highlighted the difference in writing and general direction. Shogun assumes the viewer is watching the show fully, 100% attention is required because nothing is said in the show that isn't important or isn't moving the plot forward. Every subtle inference is important and you'll quickly be lost if you're not actually watching the show. It also assumes the viewer can actually infer things from dialog and body language and understand things that aren't outright stated. Also I never knew what was going to happen next, every development was a surprise and it kept me desperately wanting to know what's going to happen next. Fallout is a show for people who watch TV while scrolling on their phone. Anything important to the plot is repeated multiple times just to make sure you got it. Nothing is left to be inferred by the viewer so there's no subtly, everything is 100% on the nose. Everything that happens in the show is also very obviously hinted at before it happens, or is an extremely expected "twist" or well trod trope. Like the whole lead up to the "other" vault actually being bad guys made it so incredibly clear what was going to happen, by the time it finally happens I was bored and just wanted them to move the plot forward already after so much time "building up" to it. Fallout makes me constantly want to fast forward or scroll on my phone, because everything feels so drawn out.

What the hell Panos Cosmatos is a local boy, and around my age. God we might have gone to the same highschool together with him a grade above me. He also cites the whole satanic panic of the 80's as a big influence on him, which I recently learned actually was entirely started in Victoria.
