Little trailer dropped for John Wick 4

[peak tangle]

always hyped for gun-fu

[green relic]

The trailer doesn't look too interesting, but it's John Wick, so should be good 👍

[clear cove]

I agree the trailer was a little lackluster, but we did get to see him blast someone with a shotgun from point-blank range with what looked like dragons breath rounds

One of our main voice actors and audio engineer, Jef Leeson, has just published Western Space Odyssey - a 2h long animated western-sci-fi mix parody movie he helped to create with friends and partners over the last few years 🤯

Finally got a time to watch ONODA. This is well-made both splendid and desperate story. This is not really a war story, not a story about an IJA soldier, but about humankind.

Also, I'm so surprised how they depicted him very similar to IRL Onoda.

@rustic drift
The Expanse S03 has not been released to legal streaming services yet

[hearty basalt]

Isn't it on Prime Video?

[foggy trail]

damn, i was wrong... it seems to be on amazon

@hearty basalt
you're right

[hearty basalt]

Thought I was crazy for a second there.

[tight vortex]

OOOOOOOOOOH I know what I'm watching now!

[patent plover]

@rustic drift not sure who has the rights for the third series here, Amazon definitely have rights to 4+

[foggy trail]

btw, if you guys like "The Expanse", you might also want to watch the remake of the "Battlestar Galactia", if you haven't yet

[tight vortex]

Finished it a few weeks ago... I can't stop listening to their soundtracks...

Just... pure awesome... wish it didn't end... and I've never said that for a series before...

[rustic drift]

Yeah, I started watching the new BSG when it came out.

[foggy trail]

i was so Fing hoocked. i was bingewatching it in like a week or so 😄

[patent plover]

Oddly while I like The Expanse, I never really bought into the BSG reboot

I saw it through, mainly thanks to having nothing better to on long work trips but it just never gelled for me

[foggy trail]

same goes for star gate franchise. either you love it, or you hate it

i loved it 😄

[rustic drift]

Im just waiting for the next season of Altered Carbon

[hearty basalt]

YES^^^
That show was solid and the world is interesting.

[foggy trail]

not so sure about the next season... i liked the cast of the main character pretty much

[hearty basalt]

Yeah, but to me it's like Bladerunner. Deckard is a cool character, but more of the world is what I wanted and got with 2049.

[rustic drift]

I'm fine with a new lead character each season as long as the storylines are good

[haughty tundra]

Amazon bought The Expanse , saved it from Cancelation

i really wish Amazon also buy The Colony for theirs line of sci-fi titles because what USA Network did was outrageous

[patent plover]

I wasn't so sure I liked how Altered Carbon ended. Felt a little Deus Ex Machina and not really clever enough

[rustic drift]

It felt a bit like Quantum Leap for me, but thats OK

Anyway, Netflix and chill time for me. Someone else can hold the "ban button".

[haughty tundra]

well i the Altered Carbon has open-ending with the possible search for {spoilers} so new seasons or restart sequel is possible

here is nice short explanation what happened to budget and presentation of The Colony https://reddit.com/r/colony/comments/91y5zo/colony_s03e13_what_goes_around_discussion_thread/e33x142/

also the staff, cast, writers etc. weren't told about the cancelation until after shooting for the last two episodes of 3rd season

hence the ending is actually plot opening as preset for the season 4

[fresh fable]

I can't get enough of 'The Bridge' (Bron/Broen) from Sweden/Denmark. The characters in it are 3 dimensional, there are no stereotype goodies or baddies, with the main character, an autistic police woman. Fascinating and brilliant. Can't wait to see what Saga Norén, the main female role, does next.

In my opinion it's up there with the greatest of all time, Hill St Blues.

If you find it hard to believe a swedish language show, which can only be viewed with subtitles (if you're lucky), can be that good, read the rave reviews on google from across tha planet.

[haughty tundra]

another great video from the Expanse backstage https://youtu.be/6sFQkNiuBGg

[timid stump]

Someone here who is looking forward to watch The Last Ship Season 5?

[copper frigate]

I watched The Expanse season 1 in a day and then hoovered up the first few novels until they started to drift off into a slightly too preachy/PC direction for me. But I was impressed by the show.

BSG was such an interesting concept but my God, you can tell it was made after Lost and not in a great way.

[keen python]

BSG?

[elder storm]

-.(\ yunguns... Battlestar Galactica

[foggy trail]

1978 or 2003?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[patent plover]

@fer right? BSG was just incoherent

The Expanse was a surprise for me, I'd not heard of it prior to seeing it listed on Netflix. At first I was just going to ignore it, there are dozens of badly made, crappy, low budget and weakly plotted sci-fi series out there, but I'm glad I did give it a chance. It is really pretty good.

[rustic drift]

Having finished the series, I'm looking for something similar. (with the exception of season 3)

[polar marsh]

Similar to BSG or The Expanse?

[rustic drift]

The Expanse

[foggy trail]

not really like the expanse, but i suggest "the colony"

or "the 100"

[rustic drift]

I didn't like either

Maybe because they were too "soft" sci-fi

[solemn silo]

Stargate

[foggy trail]

i got you killjoys, defiance, ascention for sci-fi and whynonna earp, van helsing for mystery
lost in space remake is also very good

[tight vortex]

GBee I was in the same boat with The Expanse... Except in my case I wanted to watch some German stuff for practice, so the idea was to choose something crappy that I don't care about and which I could miss details..... I don't think I would have learnt so much, and tried paying so much attention to a German speaking show with anything crappy.

But now I'm watching it in English a second time through, in preparation for S3 :P

[copper frigate]

@patent plover the BSG reboot too often felt to me like a show without a clear idea of its own endgame, and the season set in Iraq on that planet was painfully bad. The Expanse benefits from having a series of novels to work off, but the source material - at least for me - went off the boil about 3 books in.

Killjoys seasons 1 and 2 were great but the third was a disappointment.

[foggy trail]

true...
oh, i forgot "westworld", and "Godless"

both fantastic

[polar marsh]

yeah, BSG's 3rd season on the Iraq planet sucked

I still haven't watched it until the end

[patent plover]

Yeah the comparison of BSG to Lost is a good one, they really wanted to give the impression of a clever and complex arching storyline, but in reality what we got was so clearly being made up as they went along

Some of the stuff they introduced just to tie up the loose ends were just bizarre. Truthfully I remember little of the series, except the disappointment of it.

Now Westworld I was wary about, another big budget hyped series with some big names attached. Even halfway through I was thinking it was going to be another BSG but it did actually come together by the end and while I'm not raving about it, I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

[rustic drift]

Seen Killjoys, Defiance, Ascention. Started watching Van Helsing but lost interest.

[patent plover]

Ascension was the one they cancelled after a single series?

[delicate marsh]

Anyone seen annihilation yet? It's an excellent intelligent sci fi movie. Makes you think a bit, not in the sense just to confuse.

[rustic drift]

is that the guy with the kids?

in the futuristic city?

[delicate marsh]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annihilation_(film) , here is the wiki page. It's kind of hard to explain.

Though, the film you are talking about is good too.

[rustic drift]

Oh yeah, that was decent too

Yeah, cant remember the name of it

[delicate marsh]

Extinction?

[rustic drift]

thats it I think

[delicate marsh]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_(2018_film) , this look familiar?

I think the premise of it is very interesting, execution was okay. The CG was lacking in some areas and you could definitely tell when the actors were just staring at a wall.

[rustic drift]

yeah, that one

I didn't see it coming

Anyway, NMS time

[delicate marsh]

Lol, alrighty.

[polar marsh]

I'd say watch Babylon 5 if you haven't already, but it's hard to tell people to grit their teeth through the first season

[patent plover]

Babylon 5 is hard to watch today because it seems a bit cheesy, but as an example of how to do a huge, coherent arching storyline, I can't think of many better examples

Probably best if you saw it at the time it was created, but maybe I'm underestimating people's ability to look past it's dated facade and acting. At the time the effects were cutting edge and TV in general was ultra low budget

[polar marsh]

also you didn't have many serialised shows back then. Most things were episodic so they could be shown out of sequence by the networks

[delicate marsh]

I've watched very little of babylon 5, this was a few years ago though. It is worth watching in it's entirety?

[polar marsh]

it gets very good in the second and third seasons

[delicate marsh]

Hmm. Interesting. I really have no problem watching older tv series, not really a snob when it comes to that. It's a shame though, there are people who do have a problem watching older films.

[patent plover]

Episode by episode it might be easy to dismiss, but it does have a story to tell if you stick with it and what really blew my teenage mind at the time it's that by the end it ties everything together very well. Even little stuff that you might have missed along the way reveals itself to have been part of a carefully plotted master plan by the writers. Unlike Lost and other recent examples it doesn't feel forced

Then again, this was over 20 years ago, I might feel very different if I rewatched it again today

[copper frigate]

B5 still stands up today if you just focus on the storyline. It was way in advance of its time as proper long form storytelling on TV. Unlike almost every Trek show after TOS.

Movies:
On fury, I have not seen more than a couple of minutes, it but thanks to a former company I had the honour to speak with WWII veterans from both sides. None of them liked the movie as it was in their eye's "unrealistic". They showed me real footage which will be in my mind forever.

A lot of the following movies and books contain either military or naval aspects. Some I recomend, others I just list. Not everything is my cup of tea but maybe its yours. And well some of them are still worth a one time watch.

Actually, that could be cool: each person can have a ‘watch list’ thread that we link to in a sticky here.

[haughty tundra]

@copper frigate or @pale eagle can post nice simple Google Docs or similar

[pale eagle]

May be a good idea, I have been converting and changing that list over 5 forums now, a google doc would make life a lot easyer...

[foggy trail]

[unborn light]

pin that list

[patent plover]

The Cruel Sea is one of my fav books, film is good too

On the subject of Afghan war films Kajaki is good. Based on a true story.

[copper frigate]

Ninth Company is def. worth a watch.

Although it’s essentially the Russian version of Full Metal Jacket.

[sage osprey]

@pale eagle If you haven't seen it, I would definitely add Das Boot ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082096/ ) to your watch list, director's cut if possible.

And to name few interesting and realistic war movies:
The Beast of War - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094716/ - Russian tank in Afghanistan
Stalingrad (German one) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108211/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2 - story about group of German soldiers in the Battle of Stalingrad
Come and see - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091251/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 - Belarussian movie, which is quite brutal.

[foggy trail]

@sage osprey
I truely agree with das boot. It's old, but still way better that all this hollywood submarine stuff

[sage osprey]

Indeed, fun fact - real life captain of that u-boot later commanded one of only four merchant cargo nuclear ships.

[foggy trail]

lol, i didn't even know germany had a nuclear powered cargo ship

[rustic drift]

At least they hold the submarine submergence record. 😉

[timid stump]

@foggy trail which is quite unfortunate, as I do like submarine movies & novels, there is a new holywood sub movie in the works (hunter killer) unfortunately alone the trailer is so terrible (like submariners screaming "hoorah" instead of saying sth like "Aye, Sir" to confirm the order to submerge the boat)

[foggy trail]

[solemn silo]

that is from STD , the disease of Trek - so dont get your hopes up

[hazy wren]

This is an all new series, set 20 years after Nemesis.

[solemn silo]

can be but you still got the crappy writers with Alex Kurtzman

[haughty tundra]

while i like PS and i do really want to see if they can pull some 'oldie goodie' wibe out of it

i'm still in hope they start to use the ST brand more effectively, Federation had tons of big wars and especially smaller conflict and cold-war are like omnipresent

why not invest into mini-series (like marvel does) and do several Log Books of various captains serving in the wars or border regions (tension, unknown, low law presence)

quite sure with bit of care some of those can turn into more than several episodes if good enough

[rustic drift]

Saw Ready Player One last night. Not bad, not bad at all!

[past silo]

Gets said a lot but I preferred the book. The movie sort of irritated me since every one of the challenges was completely different. It was OK but only loosely follows the book and does a lot less to inspire the future of VR.

[rustic drift]

I think VR will take off when we have proper hand/haptic support. Also, AR features (much like the transparent visors in RPO).

[frail meteor]

i think VR will stay niche, and stuck in gaming market and specialized businesses, AR will take off like a rocket

im hoping first srs AR headset within next year and a half

doesnt really seem like anyone is gearing up for this christmas though :(

im ready to drop 1-2k on a legit AR headset

AR legit gonna be damned disruptive to market

TV's and Projectors

not too useful if enough people rocking AR sets

[patent plover]

I'll keep saying it, but until the resolution improves dramatically VR isn't worth the asking price

[copper frigate]

I think AR may only go mainstream when there is a cheap tie-up with smartphones.

[frail meteor]

i think it will sync/replace honestly, and i think that should be pretty obvious way for it to go

immediately

the only thing being if they are stupid it will be proprietary link to specific phones

i think playable VR next year christmastime

currently its gay, the pimax '8k' looks somewhat usable in detail and FOV

i should hope we get a step up firmly into a new generation end of 2019

[timid stump]

I can see why we use VR in games (like DCS World) because we are playing in 1st Person, but that would change a movie completely as it would be first person, or do we watch as a camera?

[rustic drift]

As we’ve unintentionally delved into #offtopic_hardware territory, I’ll leave you with one final point to ponder. Does VR need HQ graphics to be useful/successful ? My needs/vision for it say no.

[shrewd slate]

the orville is fucking amazing why did i not watch this months ago

[timid dove]

VR will stay niche until the games for it get better and the setup gets easier

I'm not sure what AR offers the average Joe over VR

[copper frigate]

Tron: Legacy is criminally underrated and anyone who disagrees should be sent to prison. Discuss 😉

[delicate marsh]

Fer you make me cry

I hated watching that movie

felt too much of what they're trying to pitch with remakes now adays,: hey we have a great well known title, everyone will buy it because of the title and die off in a year because we are going to flip a quick profit

same goes for movies like jumanji that got remade just because they knew it'd sell

[elder storm]

I hope it inspires some people to play Go.

[copper frigate]

@delicate marsh you’re off to prison. It was a far better sequel than any of the modern Star Wars films (save Rogue One)

[unborn jetty]

ya know, i authentically think if george lucas just waited 10 more years for the prequels

we could've had authentically cool movies

instead we have episode 3 as the only "good" movie out of the three

and that's because it's basically just a marvel movie

[copper frigate]

I don’t know. But that’s because I only like 4, 5 and Rogue One. All the rest are terrible.

[foggy trail]

if you haven'T seen it yet: Tom Clancy's "Jack Ryan" on amazon prime

[delicate marsh]

@copper frigate Whaaa...my sentencing is? :p
I just dislike all these remakes, we live in a generation of remaking the same old. Hardly do I see anything I can say "hey this is going to be a cult classic".

@foggy trail I have, it was pretty good. It's weird seeing him outside of the office in a serious role. I think he takes these roles to remove that stigma attached to him that was granted by the office. I thought it was going to be super cheasy, but it ended up being a decent watch.

We never really got much insight into the leader's backstory before he got demoted. They only used it as a means to hurt one another and not as a means to progress the plot.

If you all have a chance, check out "the sinner" on netflix. Very well filmed mystery.

[foggy trail]

@delicate marsh
John Krasinski already played the main character in "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi". imo, he also nailed his role there

[delicate marsh]

@foggy trail Yes i watched that as well, but he isn't known mainstream for serious roles. Primarily his comedic roles.

[copper frigate]

@foggy trail I couldn't take the second episode of Jack Ryan seriously - and that was after giving the first one a lot of passes for the sake of storytelling expediency. There's stretching credulity, and then there's just snapping it

shame, because I love Bunk in almost everything he appears in, inc. Suits

[buoyant venture]

Don't know if I could watch Jack Ryan. I'll just keep seeing Jim and thinking of Alec Baldwin before he was a political hack and Harrison Ford when he was young. Then I'll probably shut if off and watch Clear and Present Danger for the 100x time, then work more on my PASGT helmet.

[elder storm]

Could just watch John Wick and pretend it's Without Remorse the movie.

POI is like the best show ever. Feels weird that noone mentioned it yet.
That link is a ~20 minute read about the show and contains only mild spoilers.
It started with the idea of global full-time surveillance 2 years before Snowden happened.

Quote

Person of Interest bordered on being a happy accident - David Slack said it “was the only science fiction show ever to come true while it was still being written.”

[patent plover]

eh, I watched a couple of series or more, but POI never really gripped me because of the implausible AI element. That and also the fact that I lost enthusiasm for the episodic detective type dramas a very long time ago and when you strip back the dressing, this is ultimately what POI is. It was one of those shows I would watch when I wanted to turn off my brain for 45 minutes.

[barren pelican]

@next mason did you find out who that is? And especially what movie is that?
I've definitely seen that actor before.
My first guess is pierce brosnan.
Well..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvkhoqo6QQ4
Look at 1:55 That's the same weapon, same scope, about same pose. But without glasses and with different background.
Oh. It's also the thumbnail :D
It's not the same guy. But it's literally the same scene. Maybe they copied parts of the script for a different movie :D

Thanks to your now deleted Message I have 6 more movies to watch 😄

[next mason]

No problem, and yes it was from the movie Survivor. I thought I hadn't watched it so I paid to see it again, only to notice I had.

[barren pelican]

But why does the guy on your screenshot look different? Does the trailer just not match the movie? Or are there multiple scenes like that in the movie?

[next mason]

In that trailer, at 0:45 I got something that was very simular https://i.imgur.com/0d1b0Qx.png

(This is what I posted https://i.imgur.com/yT5zD8m.png )

Idk why he has more color in his face on my picture ,didn't modify it at all

[barren pelican]

Okey Survivor is not that good of a movie. The evading Black hawk still get's hit by the RPG... Okey.
Then they just shoot a lock open.. of course. Sure. Nope.
And a 2 meter radius ball that filled with gas has enough energy to flatten the entire timesquare..
Wouldn't watch again. Felt like a waste of time

[hexed coyote]

Has anyone been watching The Last Kingdom? Its based on a 10 book so far series by Bernard Cornwell. Ive read them all and its nice watching the familiar characters on TV. Season 3 just came out and shock horror some things have changed from the books... anyway it has quality acting and production values and great historical research and some cool dark ages viking vs saxon team deathmatch. Some people might find the main character a bit annoying, he’s a cocky and lucky young warrior and the major issues facing King Alfred always miraculously hinge around his decisions and actions, so it feels contrived in places, but it’s a fun bit of escapism

The main theme of the book series is the creation of England, from Alfreds retreat into the marshes around glastonbury to him defeating the danes to retake wessex then mercia then east anglia sussex and northumbria, to create England

[patent plover]

Yes, I've been watching. First two series were originally FTA, noticed the third had appeared on Netflix just this week.

[hexed coyote]

The saxons are christian and the danes are norse so there’s a lot of religious politics going on too

[patent plover]

it's a tad creaky in places and contrived as you said, but I do appreciate the historical context. Which being that it was written by Bernard Cornwell, is pretty accurate, at least to the extent possible

[hexed coyote]

I rewatched generation kill again a few weeks ago. Alexander skarsgard is so damn good in it, he deserves more. Good to see him playing an israeli agent in the little drummer girl by john le carre on bbc iplayer or sundays at 2100

Thats a cool show

Also has michael shannon who im a massive fan of

If you have a dark humour streak then Happy is worth getting a crate of beer and chips in for

Its about a kidnapped childs imaginary unicorn friend seeking out her burned out ex-cop in denial junkie dad to help rescue her

Its a hoot

Just finished season 2 of ozark and boy is that getting fucked up

Its like breaking bad but the whole family are heisenbergs

It has a lot of places it can go

And the acting is oscar worthy

Laura linney and peter mullan are gold plated actors, but there are some amazing new talents in it too like the hillbilly girl whos always scheming to succeed despite her criminally stupid family, cant remember her damn name.

[rustic drift]

Been watching Condor (a series remake of the movie Day of the Condor)

[patent plover]

I really enjoyed Happy, it was a surprise, different but really good.
Ozark on the other hand, I wanted to like it and the cast is great, but I've grown tired of these series where the situation is clearly continually worsening, getting bleaker and more depressing by the minute with no end in sight. I respect it, but it's hugely depressing.

Condor sounds interesting, will check it out.

[true pawn]

I've been watching documentaries of russian military aircraft 😐

[delicate marsh]

Ok. What is it called?

[hybrid sonnet]

Anyone here good with ww2 movies im trying to remember the name of this one movie
Basically its about the concentration camps and i think deals with one specifically
I remember an entire american platoon being captured and some of the movie is about how they are treated vs how thr jewish people were treated, its near the end of the war because i remember them moving to different camps due to the front lines getting closer and closer to them
Its in color if that helps
I remember some african American pilots get captured too and they get some shit until a member of their squadren shoots down a BF 109 over the camp and everyone cheers them on
Pretty sure it was made after the 1990s

Got it its harts war

[half tinsel]

Das Boot is an underrated WW 2 movie

[foggy trail]

no, not underrated. 8,4 on imdb is pretty good for a german movie from `81. the series adaptation from 2018 the other hand got only 6,9. it was better than that imo

[patent plover]

Yeah, I wouldn't say it was underrated at all, possibly even a little overrated and I say that as a fan with the Blu-ray sitting on the shelf.

Rather than underrated, I would suggest, "not widely known"

[tight vortex]

It's been on my list to watch for a while now. I guess I should watch it soon judging by the above 😛

[sage osprey]

Go for it @tight vortex it's a great movie.

[tight vortex]

I shall, and I'll probably watch it in German too. Seems appropriate

[sage osprey]

Yeah and I recommend "director's cut" 3h 30minutes iirc.

[tight vortex]

I don't know what version Netflix has... hmmmm...

Theatrical Cut. Damn

[hybrid sonnet]

Netflix doesnt have shit couldnt even watch behind enemy lines

Or hulu

[true pawn]

@hybrid sonnet if you like strange Yugoslavian ones with a bit of retro propaganda mixed in there's Battle of Neretva. Lots of real ww2 equipment used in it

Tora Tora was good, Saving private Ryan is surprisingly good

Patton would come a bit after those... watch if you like the subject

U96/DasBoot I think is widely known - heard of it first time in the 80s and there was even an early techno rock band to the theme/name - definitely worth watching

Der Untergang is very different but very good too

[lost patio]

What do you think of Dunkirk?

I finally got to see it but it was really boring

[true pawn]

Yea thought so based on the number of Youtube ads

Bridge too Far is great

[lost patio]

agreed

[delicate marsh]

Just watched bird box on netflix last night. Not bad, not a great movie. The concept is interesting, won't spoil much. But the "comedic relief" had to have had at max 15 minutes of screentime, and then something happens. So it felt like everything was undeveloped

[lost patio]

yeh

saw it too

it felt similar to "The Happening"

[keen flume]

Anyone "interacted"on netflix with bandersnatch yet? https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80988062

[spiral locust]

Bandersnatch was interesting at first, then stupid

There's really only one path where you can really progress, and if you go off path, you're swiftly killed

So you just keep going through it

And then they give this whole scene about how "You don't actually have freewill" because you're forced into a certain path, and there is only the perception of freewill by giving fake choices

Was kinda a shitty way to do it tbh, but it was the cheap way so I guess that's why they did it

[deft delta]

Yeah I felt like it took a concept that could be pretty nifty and then didn’t have the time/ funds/ drive to do it justice.

Because I figure the only reason you’d do a choose your own adventure movie instead of a book is that a movie can have loads more options without turning into a multiple volume mess, but they had very few impactful realistic choices

So it kind of ruined it imo

Ok also you can’t watch it on PCs. Apparently a computer isn’t “compatible” with the format.

How is the Netflix team unable to have clickable buttons? I mean surely doing something similar for mobile is more challenging.

Or a TV

[delicate marsh]

After rewatching the Resident Evil series, as well as watching the newest installment. I can safely say it's one of my favorite series. The original and apocalypse definitely didn't age well but it was more than fun to rewatch

Also, I always thought the name umbrella corp was a perfect name. The entire world under one umbrella.

[lost patio]

I kinda prefered the games over the movies

[delicate marsh]

Not talking about the games, just in my pallete of movies I believe RE to be my favorite. The games were great.

[buoyant venture]

If you like WWII and Spy movies I recommend "Where Eagles Dare" One of the greater, more unknown WWII movies.

There’s a movie “Bloody Sunday” on YouTube it’s more of a documovie than anything and I believe in one of the first media showcases of the events from a non biased view. The movie is about the incident ‘bloody sunday’ in which the parachute regiment fired upon ‘armed civilians’ in Derry/Londonderry Northern Ireland During the troubles.

[past silo]

Was passable. Didn't grate as much as the CBS Star Trek at least. Wasn't blown away though, the fight scenes, some of the characters are a bit weird and some of the dialog had weird issues like the last exchange where they didn't just utterly lack chemistry the entire exchange was dribble.

@foggy trail I'd prefer not to say, I hate spoilers of any kind, I don't watch trailers...ever, if the synopsis sounds interesting that's enough for me. Monos benefits from this approach.

[last vale]

Now you tell me 😭

[foggy trail]

looks like some kind of art movie to me.

trailer and reviews did not catch me

[velvet quest]

the first 25 mins did have an art movie feel to it, but when it moves to the jungle......

[foggy trail]

7.2 on IMDB and pretty good on RT. still, the story is not actually what i'm interested in

[last vale]

Did you check out Train to Busan audiocustoms?

[foggy trail]

seen it i think

can't recall

[last vale]

Was a good infected flick

Best is Range 15 😉

[foggy trail]

the only zombie-ish movie i really like: zombieland

[last vale]

Check out Range 15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss63UOd4P84

[foggy trail]

good cast, but still... zombies

[last vale]

Oh yeah, but the Black Rifle Coffee Company and zombies... so the zombies are not the important thing. Funny as hell

[foggy trail]

ok... danny trejo

😄

[last vale]

Highly recommend 🙂

||I mean... a guy gets a blow up doll super-glued to his penis for the whole movie 🤣||

[velvet quest]

Netflix recommendation: Blue Ruin.

After learning the man who killed his parents 20 years earlier has been released from prison, Dwight Evans, a drifter living out his life as a beach vagrant returns to his home town to seek vengeance.

[foggy trail]

this could become an interesting show

Don't forget Range 15... gonna borrow my friend's SCAR-H soon 😉

[smoky spade]

bingewatched the first season of jack rayan the day I got prime video
really liked how they gave some depth to the villain instead of having it being the classic terrorist stereotype who just wants to see the world burn because yes

[humble jacinth]

im watching vikings

[haughty tundra]

vikings were good early then it went worse and then totally weird, but it still can have moments ...

[raven flare]

[green relic]

A series about sending a female to the moon, and they complain they don't have female astronauts? What is the timeframe of this series... the 60's?

Perhaps Apple should watch Hidden Figures (great movie btw), and check with NASA about the amount of women who already went to space...

[delicate marsh]

I feel this just has the wrong premise.

the excitement came from landing on the moon. It didn't really matter, who and why.

[foggy trail]

Alternating time line ranging from late 60s to early 80s

[delicate marsh]

but if that's the goal of the entire movie. They didn't have any even entry level candidates that have understanding of how the flight operates?

I'm sure there was at least a handful of women that did

[foggy trail]

I was talking about the TV show, sorry

[delicate marsh]

Wait a sec. I'm sorry it looked like it was formatted for a movie

[foggy trail]

I quite enjoyed the show. It's "what could have happened if Russia was first on the moon"

[delicate marsh]

in my eyes. I feel like no matter whom won the space race. It's more about who can progress their research and construction faster. Whoever builds livable environments on the moon first will have the power.

I will have to take a look at it tho. Is it only on apple tv?

[foggy trail]

Officially, only on Apple TV 😉

[delicate marsh]

screw that lol. I already have enough devices for streaming and whatnot.

[foggy trail]

[foggy trail]

on disney+ for just 20,-/episode?

😄

[unique cosmos]

I'm still concerned with it.

I loved the fact The Mandalorian had so many grounded unique charicters. I don't want more jedi, or past charicters. Matter of fact I would love if they did zero tie in with any of the main storylines.

[lost patio]

Nice

Mandalorian was a pleasant surprise to me

most of Disney Star Wars media isn't that good

[past silo]

I only watched the clone war series. pretty ok imo. I just wish it didnt have the mix of being sort of kid friendly enough to air on cartoon network (censoring and animiation style) and somewhat dark. I prefer it to be more of the later. the original tril dosnt look like something id enjoy

[autumn idol]

For some reason I missed all of it, catching up now to watch all 7 seasons

When I’ll can I’ll surely watch The Mandalorian

I havent watched the last two seasons Because ive been lazy, But I heard they where really good

I think I finished season 5 all those years ago

its good though

s/o to umbaran arc though. fav one

[kind heron]

I've watched all of it

Even watched Rebels, which was way more tailored for kids, but I watched it anyway

Now I'm watching The Mandalorian

Loved all of it

Seeing Ahsoka come back in the Mandalorian was like

But at the same time, I think they kinda screwed up her look a little bit

In the live action transition

And no, the Clone Wars is finished, there's not gonna be more episodes

[real sinew]

please use spoiler tags for spoilers, others reading this channel may not have seen it yet 🙂

[past silo]

Clone wars was tailored for all audiences, which was unfortunate imo as It should have been way darker than it was

[kind heron]

Was that really a spoiler tho? It's not like they didn't advertise it 😅

Yeah, but clone Wars was still somewhat fine. Rebels was 100% kids show

[past silo]

I looked at one episode of rebels and was like nah not for me

lol

I soldiered on through the whole thing cause I wanted to know the whole story haha

Got a little grimmer towards the end, nothing special tho

old series but quite lovely

Also, The Expanse is made great again

[barren pelican]

I only know the band :D

[true pawn]

it's a band? lol

[barren pelican]

Yeah

[true pawn]

Did they record "bury me with my guns on"?

because there was a Sons of Anarchy fanvid on youtube with that song 😄

[barren pelican]

"House of the rising sun" is the most popular title I think

[true pawn]

hm-m. It's possible then that somebody was double pulling my leg

[foggy trail]

that's "the animals"

[barren pelican]

Then maybe it's just a re-thing

[kind acorn]

Done.

[true pawn]

@foggy trailthat 5 season commitment is huge for Amazon considering the series could always flop

But a license for LotR/Tolkien stuff isn't exactly cheap either 😄

[foggy trail]

no, not cheap at all 😄

Amazon bought the television rights for The Lord of the Rings for US$250 million in November 2017, making a five season production commitment worth at least US$1 billion.

[true pawn]

Was the rights specifically for Lord of the Rings?

What I understood the series is based on some appendix, since it's 2nd age

But I can't remember if it's LotR appendices + a part of Silmarillion (the Akallabeth)

Could be they start from Numenor but progress through the ages in later seasons?

[foggy trail]

it will be in the second age and contain a ton of stuff from the silmarillion afaik

i think a lot of about the rise and fall of numenor

[true pawn]

It could be the knee's bees if well done

[foggy trail]

it's gonna be epic. the question is: how epic

😄

[true pawn]

Numenor was basically Rome on steroids so you can get to see a lot of Middle-Earth covering just that

It's a lovely concept. In LotR and eg. in the LotRO MMO set in the same time frame, end of 3rd age, you go to the right parts of Middle-Earth, it will be full of ruins left behind by the Numenor empire(s)

I'm working on a scifi setting that is a bit similar in that regard

[foggy trail]

if i'm not mistaken, they recasted hugo weaving, so elrond might be a part of the story

[true pawn]

You'd expect him to be in touch with the kings of Numenor

since I think his brother was their first 😉

[foggy trail]

i think so

it's been a while since i've read the silmarillion

but if that's the case, they'd have to pack a 💩 ton of story in "just" 5 seasons

if they wanna cover the rise and the fall of numenor

[true pawn]

Kind of makes sense for the numenorean bloodline to be strong and long lived if their ancestor was a half-elf. Though just one ancestor is not that much but hey, fantasy

I guess the human part was also an "original". Hurin's folk or something

[foggy trail]

hehe, guess i have to read some tolkien books again to refresh my memories 😄

[true pawn]

writer's license and for sure they'll leave parts out and enrage some fans, once again

while introducing commercially viable characters that are more aimed at modern audiences

would be cool if we see Queen Beruthiel at some point

[foggy trail]

i don't think they'll fuck up like they did with the last two seasons of GoT. they clearly know about the shitstorm

read the review - so bad it's good 😅

I'm too afraid to find out if it's available somewhere, I might watch it....

[olive kite]

1. Do anyone know the name of the old cartoon where the opening sequence is like a guy running into neon green fingerprints? Like an adventure cartoon?

2. Another cartoon where tribal children used to live in an island and make funny stuffs. This was in the Ed Edd'n Eddy, Johnny Bravo era if I'm not wrong. It would be really helpful if someone could help me out. I'm collecting nostalgic cartoons and storing it on my HDD so that I could cherish those as long as i live.

[foggy trail]

i came across some effing good videos. almost like a documentary, but way better. it's a must watch!

backstory:
a dude bought a ghost town in the Californian mountains close to the death valley. it's called Cerro Gordo and used to be the biggest mining operation in the US. it once had 4500 residents and at the same time LA was at 6000.
the dude is living there now for over a year and is trying to preserve the history of that town by rebuilding the old houses and exploring the old mines.
one night one year ago the "american hotel", which once seemed to be a hideout for butch casidy, burned down and this event almost drove this dude to the edge. for the past 8 months he was trying to get concrete to Cerro Gordo to rebuild this hotel, but got ghosted by all companies he contacted because of this extremely remote and difficult to reach location.
fast-forward:
one day some other rich dude with a kink for heavy machinery got word of what was going on in cerro gordo and decided to go on an adventure and logistical nightmare: bring heavy machines and a cement mixer to cerro gordo and help him to rebuild the hotel... for free (the machinery dude even bought a cement mixer, just for that action).

here is the story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6c3aehC2ZBI

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10127684/ just finished watching Rogue City on Netflix, has kinda mediocre reviews but I'm really into mafia/gang dramas with or without police theme. Worth watching IMO, along with Suburra, I loved it.

[lament umbra]

i want to watch this

Insane character

Insane movie

Watch it

Did you hear about the brand new movie ... Dune? 🤨
ffff... what is with this stupid habit of naming successor movies/games exactly the same as the first movie/game >.<

[foggy trail]

the "new" Dune is basically a remake of the original

same story

[polar marsh]

That's to say they're two unrelated adaptations of the same book

[compact ledge]

there can only be one 😬

[foggy trail]

"princes of the universe" starts playing

[gilded trail]

to be honest dune wasnt ever interesting imo even if i like warhammer and they took stuff from dune

[haughty tundra]

7 episodes of good mini-serie Sci-Fi "ATROPA" from DUST channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVuZDtz-Aes
surprising fine CGI, ok actors and even some known actors from sci-fi as minor roles
... i seriously hope we get more sci-fi like this ... this is as good (or even better) as the short sci-fi TV shows in 80s and 90s

[peak tangle]

just noticed Oats Studios has some of their videos on Netflix, if you don't know them - it's worth watching, cool short stories about postapocalyptic future of humans https://www.netflix.com/title/81483047

[gilded trail]

anyone who has warhammer+ what are your thoughts about the series there?

[past silo]

The Hunger Games will live on forever

[red atlas]

Unpupular opinion, but Morbius was certainly a movie

[loud path]

Hey

[red atlas]

Was that an agressive hey, due to the controlversial opinion?😂

[loud path]

No, just surprised this channel is even here lol

Ya know what movie is awesome though? Blazing Saddle—gets banned

[red atlas]

I want you to elaborate

[loud path]

Have you seen blazing saddles?

[red atlas]

Nope

[dull ginkgo]

Morbius was the best movie

i loved it

best marvel movie ever created

Best movie ever created

Morbius's catchphrase is so inconic

"Its morbin time"

[strong narwhal]

The doctor says I am morbiously a beast

[subtle prism]

Holy shit the new top gun is amazing

[green cedar]

So uhh in my headcanon ||the rogue enemy in Top Gun Maverick is CSAT in its early days||

[gloomy salmon]

What Gary Gordon said before he died?

I think it's ,,Randy last mag'' but i may be wrong

[past silo]

Obiwan is a terrible series

[clear cove]

That was such a good movie

"I think he said the sheriff is near"

Cracks me up every time

[muted lava]

Halo TV series, what a mess.
and i refuse to elaborate.

[clear cove]

The resident evil series on Netflix has to be the worst live action resident evil media we've ever received

[round rain]

good burger is the only good movie in existence

[peak tangle]

TIL Dead Space has two canon animations, both are prequels from what I understand. Just finished watching Downfall, it's really good

[past silo]

halo was pretty decent scifi pulp (never played the game)
