Blacksad

#

Check out Blacksad

#

It's a detective noir but with animals, it's great

stiff knoll
#

Alright

modern lichen
#

Yep

dim hedge
#

Emo

modern lichen
#

@stiff knoll forgot to mention this but the book you're reading now consists of the first 3 volumes of blacksad, read the following in order:

Blacksad (you're on it now) -> A Silent Hell -> Amarillo -> They All Fall Down (still not complete)

maiden kayak
#

Is the foundation tv series truthful to the books?

modern lichen
#

yes

maiden kayak
#

But i heard the || emperor clone plot shown in series which was the best part in series|| was not part of the books

#

Should I continue the series or books? for those who read books

stiff knoll
modern lichen
#

you dont have to read they all fall down

#

they are all self contained

stiff knoll
#

I see

#

I'll read those first three books then

#

Should I just read this?

#

I think it has the first three books

modern lichen
#

that's basically the first 5 stories

#

yeah you could try this

stiff knoll
#

So everything except They All Fall Down right?

modern lichen
#

instead of separately

#

yeah

stiff knoll
#

Alright nice. I'll read this later then

#

I'm reading some of the new DC stuff

modern lichen
#

they all fall down came about after a 7 year hiatus from the ending of amarillo

stiff knoll
#

Maybe a good idea, maybe a bad one

modern lichen
#

what are you reading

stiff knoll
stiff knoll
modern lichen
#

which one is that?

stiff knoll
#

World's Finest

modern lichen
#

oh yeah

#

that's a cool one

stiff knoll
#

The current ongoing one by Mark Waid

#

I wanna read some of the new ones from this year cause I saw that Dawn of DC thing is happening. From what I understand, it's a perfect time for me to pick up the new titles or something

modern lichen
#

hm

#

i've stopped reading ongoing stuff for a while now

stiff knoll
#

Venom (2021) #11 || this has been pretty trippy. Loving all the time travel stuff and the multiple Eddie Brocks. Fun stuff ||

rain mirage

Peaky blinders S2 ||episode 4 looks pretty good.||

#

Venom (2021) #18 || damn so Eddie's finally gonna fight Mirdius I think. Been enjoying the timeloop stuff. I think that's gonna be less of a thing though. Not sure why, just a feeling ||

stiff knoll

Caught up with Venom LucciBusiness

#

I'm starting to become a fan of Al Ewing

modern lichen
#

good writer

stiff knoll
#

I loved his Immortal Hulk run

dim hedge
#

art work looks so cool

stiff knoll
#

I was gonna read his current X-Men: Red run but I read one issue and realized I don't actually care for the X-Men atm.

unkempt agate

modern lichen

unkempt agate
#

modern lichen

unkempt agate

unkempt agate
#

modern lichen
#

stiff knoll

Huh

valid isle
#

Im sorry but i cant read them and enjoy idk how yall do it

stiff knoll
#

You're not reading the right one?

modern lichen
#

what prompted you to respond to that answer that way?

#

you clearly asked for where you can read them and then you say they're bad?

valid isle
stiff knoll
#

Oh if you want Spider-Man then I highly recommend reading Ultimate Spider-Man

valid isle
stiff knoll
#

But harsh can give you better recs

valid isle
modern lichen
#

LMFAO

#

fuckin A

#

spider-man: life story to start with, read that

stiff knoll
modern lichen
#

and then go for ultimate spider-man

valid isle
#

Ok ill make a list of it

sage remnant
#

You could try the pinned list

valid isle
#

Where is the list

modern lichen
#

i have made a batman comic list which is pinned

stiff knoll
#

In the pins

modern lichen
#

scroll down to the bottom of the pins and check it

#

that's a comprehensive list of batman comics you can read

stiff knoll
#

Going over the list

#

I've read a lot of those

valid isle
#

Okay

stiff knoll
#

Might not touch Batman for a while

modern lichen
#

that's fine

valid isle
#

But with spiderman its life story then its ultimate??????

#

Do i meet mile morales

modern lichen
#

read spider-man: life story first

stiff knoll
#

I should read that too tbh

modern lichen
#

miles morales comes later

valid isle
#

Are in the ultimate comics in like order like they follow a plot?

stiff knoll
#

Do you have anything for X-Men

#

Or Wolverine

valid isle
#

Or are they villian of the week types?

modern lichen

ultimate spider-man is pretty straightforward

valid isle

leaden depot

Yes, it is the man himself lol

stiff knoll
#

No way

leaden depot

This is actually his first text ever printed

#

He was like 14/15

stiff knoll
#

That's really cool

While at Marist High School, Martin became an avid comic-book fan, developing a strong interest in the superheroes being published by Marvel Comics, and later credited Stan Lee for being one of his greatest literary influences; "Maybe Stan Lee is the greatest literary influence on me, even more than Shakespeare or Tolkien." A letter Martin wrote to the editor of Fantastic Four was printed in issue #20; it was the first of many sent, e.g., Fantastic Four #32, #34, and others. Fans who read his letters wrote him letters in turn, and through such contacts, Martin joined the fledgling comics fandom of the era, writing fiction for various fanzines; he bought the first ticket to the world's first Comic-Con, held in New York in 1964. In 1965, Martin won comic fandom's Alley Award for Best Fan Fiction for his prose superhero story "Powerman vs. The Blue Barrier".

stiff knoll
#

Bro won an award for a fanfic he wrote

leaden depot
#

Yep lol

#

He turned pro in 1970 and the rest is history

stiff knoll
#

This is pretty cool lore

leaden depot
#

Yeah, that first Comic-Con was a bit of a failure btw lol

#

Like only 50 people went

crimson lance
#

speaking of comics, i saw some old spiderman comics from 1977 today at work

#

its cool to look at the old art in person

leaden depot
#

And funniest thing is that the only comics pro who attended was the last person you would think would like to go to a social place: Steve Ditko

modern lichen
#

man i cant fucking wait for oppenheimer

verbal moat
#

Jealous of everyone who gets to see it in 70mm IMAX. Sucks living in the middle of nowhere

mild seal
#

It's also very expensive

#

The one theater showing it near me is charging 30 dollars

modern lichen
#

thought i'd go see it in 70mm imax but its a bit too far away and bit too expensive

#

so i'm just seeing it in normal imax

verbal moat
#

I'd probably pay that much for a first viewing of a Nolan film. Wouldn't cover anyone else tho. $60+ is gettin up there for a movie

modern lichen
#

yeah, better watch it at your convenience

mild seal
#

I saw interstellar in whatever the film version of IMAX it was when it came out

#

It was amazing

modern lichen
#

70mm?

mild seal
#

Probably

modern lichen
#

yeah that's film version of imax haha

mild seal
#

I just didn't know if it was less than 70 when interstellar came out

modern lichen
#

so normal imax is digital imax projection

#

70mm imax projection takes the imax reels directly in a film projector

#

the most crisp quality image ever

mild seal
#

It definitely was

#

The visuals were crazy good

modern lichen
#

fuck

#

i was about to splurge the money on 70mm imax actually

mild seal
#

Interstellar ||the scenes inside the black hole were insanely good in 70mm||

modern lichen
#

a ticket was costing ₤20

Just watched Oppenheimer... definitely the best chris nolan movie

sonic heath
#

Also can anyone tell how to read batman?

#

Like even spinoffs which show tht dark multiverse or whatever

burnt lake
verbal moat
#

Trying to read DC Comics is so complicated because there are a million different authors writing a million different stories and the same characters don't even really feel like the same characters in each story bc different authors.

Having said that, I recommend Scott Snyder's run on Batman as a good starting point

uncut yarrow
#

Yes it's hard to get into DC/Marvel comics

burnt lake
#

It's easier to get into DC comics than marvel ones imo

#

Marvel has a ever-spanning continuity ever since the very first FF comic was released

#

At least with DC there's been a few resets

verbal moat
#

Man I had to give up Marvel/DC comics a few years back. Too many writers trying to write over each other and retcon each other with "but no, actually THIS happened". Just couldn't take it anymore.
Switched over to Image Comics and it was such a breath of fresh air

burnt lake
#

Honestly...

#

Canon is stupid

#

Just let writers do what they want within their own contained run

uncut yarrow
#

What I don't like about DC and Marvel comics is how ridiculous the powers have become

#

Now it's like every character has a version of themselves that can destroy worlds or alter reality

burnt lake
#

Yeah their "cosmic" forms or whatever

uncut yarrow
#

Yeah, even if you forget about these forms you got the other characters whose powers are so grand that it doesn't make sense anymore

#

Antags and protags alike

#

I like when a character's power is determined by sheer experience, rather then being OP for the sake of it

#

So many different realities too

burnt lake
#

It is hard to grasp something like Batman, a straight up normal human, facing off against someone like Doomsday who wreaks havoc across the Galaxy as if it's a fair and square fight

uncut yarrow
#

Yeah, so stupid

burnt lake
#

Half of the time I think it's just writers wanting to do cool shit

#

"What if we made them be able to just destroy the universe in one fell swoop"

uncut yarrow
#

And so Batman will get someone like Dr Fate but nah it won't be enough which means that another character needs to develop reality shattering powers in order to beat the menace

uncut yarrow
burnt lake
#

Honestly

#

I blame powerscalers

uncut yarrow
#

The stakes are nonexistent

#

I do too tbh

#

If it wasn't for them we'd have compelling stories

burnt lake
#

I get that it's fiction and all but like

#

Killing off characters and then just bringing them back to life later ruins it

uncut yarrow
#

Screw marvel/dc, there's stand-alone series that are more worth it

burnt lake
#

Like there's no drive or motivation if things can just be reset

uncut yarrow
#

There are classics in Marvel/DC of course but right now it's not worth it

burnt lake
uncut yarrow
#

Yeah it's a shame that everyone is so focused on marvel/dc when there's genuinely great stories in comics

#

We need more adaptations

burnt lake
#

I'd get into hellboy if I had the money for physicals

uncut yarrow
#

More tv series of indie comics and less superhero movies

#

Would be the dream

burnt lake
#

I mean Sweet Tooth got a live action adaption right?

uncut yarrow
#

Yeah comics can be expensive too

burnt lake
#

Netflix series

uncut yarrow
#

Yeah I need to check it I'm curious

burnt lake
#

I hear it's pretty good

uncut yarrow
#

Nice

#

So glad that Invincible is a thing

#

Got me back to being interested in comics

burnt lake
#

Oh and Umbrella Academy adaption

#

Anything Sandman related ig

uncut yarrow
#

I tried that and it didn't click with me

#

Sandman either

burnt lake
#

Darn, I really enjoyed sandman

uncut yarrow
#

I dont like watching divine entities fight, I rather watch humans fight

burnt lake
#

Oh uhhh

#

Nimona got an animated film

verbal moat
#

Kirkman is just a different level of writer

burnt lake
#

I wouldn't say that really

uncut yarrow
#

It's just something with me, abstract concept vs another abstract concept just doesn't make me interested

burnt lake
#

Invincible is fine and we'll but it's certainly better than other attempts (The Boys comics)

uncut yarrow
verbal moat
#

The Boys comic is actual hot garbage

burnt lake
#

Nimona is a graphic novel, it's pretty good

uncut yarrow
uncut yarrow
burnt lake
#

Lemme pull up a synopsis

#

Nimona || A knight is framed for a crime he didn't commit, and the only person who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona, a shape-shifting teen who might also be a monster he's sworn to kill. ||

uncut yarrow
#

Ooooh

#

Seems interesting

burnt lake
#

I've only seen clips of the film so far

uncut yarrow
#

Lemme look into it

burnt lake
#

Wonderfully animated

Oh that lol

#

I feel like, if this series didn't exist, it would not make a difference on MCU story progression in general.

stiff knoll
#

Punisher (2022) ending || well then.. it's weird seeing the Punisher fly and stuff. Dude literally made a deal with the devil. I didn't like the earlier issues but I really enjoyed it after Ares' death. Seems like Frank Castle is some sort of vagabond in hell or something now LuffyThink not really much for me to say, Frank is just dude who did bad things to bad people. I think the ending is probably the best way this run could have ended. Dude was a pretty trash husband ||

Gonna catch up to World's Finest now LucciBusiness

I needed a break from C2 so I started exu calamity since I read it wasn't really related to anything else CR that much

#

And boy is this good

#

@modern lichen

#

Exu calamity e3 || from the characters to the new players to the setting, it's so well set ||

#

Calamity e3 || I hate marisha, aabria, and Lou's characters so damn much because they portray the hubris so well ||

#

Calamity e3 || also love how despite their pride, arrogance and hubris being very central to their characters how each of them are different flavours of it ||

modern lichen
#

oh you're watching calamity already?

scenic frost
#

Yeah I got to 110 and felt a little jaded so I wanted something different

modern lichen
#

i wouldve prefered you watched some one-shots instead

#

there are references from later parts of c2 in there

scenic frost
#

Checked out online saw calamity wasn't really related to anything C2 so I went with it

modern lichen
#

there was c2 related stuff there

scenic frost
#

There are ? I haven't really spotted then yet I am on e3 already so ig whatever

#

Oh

#

I am probably not far enough into C2 to spot then lol

you didnt notice because you dont know

no

If it's like depictions of rape or so yeah

#

I don't like that in movies

last perch
#

I just noticed

#

How most top rated movies are full of sexual scenes and gore

#

It is like a theme for movies to be high rated maybe?

modern lichen
#

Most good movies tell stories that are rooted in the human condition, they don't have explicit content

I mean suggestions

For such movies

What top rated movies are you citing that have explicit sex and gore

#

Oppenheimer is so good

modern lichen
#

cant wait

#

i cant take it anymore raaaah

#

i rewatched dunkirk and tenet in preparation

feral kettle
modern lichen
#

that's what i heard

feral kettle
#

Havent seen a few tho

#

like the prestige

#

And uhh insomnia

modern lichen
#

it was fucking insane going from an almost silent and tense dunkirk to exposition heavy tenet

#

enjoyed the fuck out of both of them

feral kettle
#

The exposition in tenet doesnt really matter too much tbh

#

A lot of jargon but you dont need to understand much if it

modern lichen
#

tenet a lot of the times felt hilarious because nolan tries to explain away the fuckin mechanics and i'm like i dont care i'm just here to watch shit go boom

feral kettle
#

Yea and it works fine like that

#

Pattinson and washington are great

modern lichen
#

didnt like the elizabeth debicki angle this time, felt a bit useless

#

pattinson is so goddamn charismatic

#

washington as well but pattinson stole the show

feral kettle
#

His last 4 films are probably his best

#

Nolan

#

Memento is up there too

modern lichen
#

the dark knight and the prestige are still his best imo

#

the prestige especially is a stupendous film

#

inception and dunkirk come close

feral kettle
#

i dont vibe with the batman trilogy too much

modern lichen
#

interstellar is good but i dont think its really that great as it is claimed to be

feral kettle
#

dont like begins and rise much, tdk is good tho

modern lichen
#

i watched the dark knight in imax

#

i love begins

feral kettle
#

Id like to see em all in imax

feral kettle
modern lichen
#

its the most expressionistic one of the trilogy and the most straightforward batman story

#

plus gotham actually feels like an eldritch entity in that movie

#

yeah interstellar does have some magnificent images though

feral kettle
#

the league of shadows fuckery is fun

#

In rises too

modern lichen
#

i'm trying to save my first letterboxd essay review for oppenheimer

#

rises dropped the ball imo but its still a competent film

modern lichen
#

its one of his weaker efforts for sure

feral kettle
#

Dont love rises but i prefer the imax presentation to begins

modern lichen
#

yeah he began to truly use imax with tdk but i feel like the imax images in tdk are so much more impactful

feral kettle
#

Oppenheimer is really really great

#

a new matured nolan

modern lichen
#

tdkr is a bit eh with the imagery

feral kettle
#

Yea there are a lot of nothing imax compositions

modern lichen
#

yeah, i wanted a nolan horror movie and it looks like he's made a haunting movie with this one, big ideas and greater execution

feral kettle
#

Its horrifying

modern lichen
#

fuck me i need this shit in my veins so bad

#

just a few more hours

#

i havent seen barbie yet, i'll save that for later ig

sage remnant
modern lichen
#

tomorrow

#

imax

sage remnant
#

Nice

modern lichen
#

i couldnt find the 70mm seats tho

feral kettle
#

darn

modern lichen
#

so i have to settle for normal imax

sage remnant
feral kettle
#

imax 70mm is a godsend

modern lichen
#

tickets cost me 30 pounds + travelling for 2 hours back and fro

#

i couldnt do it

feral kettle
#

Its a film that demands to be seen projected on film, id say if you love it watch it on normal 70mm no imax after

modern lichen
#

its a dream to watch it on 70mm imax

feral kettle
#

if thats possible

feral kettle
modern lichen
#

i tried getting them but like, its a whole days endeavor

#

yeah, that shit is big

#

nolan deserves the acclaim now tbh

#

the man has been on an uptick and this is his artistic culmination

feral kettle
#

He made a very positive pivot in his career with interstellar

brave orbit
#

Me when tenet...

feral kettle
#

tenets a banger

modern lichen
#

i have seen articles about barbenheimer, how the fuck is someone going to sit through such conflicting tone clashes

#

tenet is fine, its a vibe movie

#

i can put it on background and chill even

#

no problems

feral kettle
#

The only nolans i love are tenet and oppenheimer tbh

brave orbit
#

Sounds like cope

modern lichen
#

with movies like dunkirk i cant, i have to focus on the visual storytelling

#

there's not a lot of dialogue involved

feral kettle

i admire dunkirk but i didnt fully connect to it

modern lichen
#

dunkirk is a barrage of visuals

feral kettle
#

Oppenheimer does the cross cutting much more effectively imo

#

also has the cosmic imagery of interstellar

modern lichen
#

FUCK

feral kettle
#

The final hour of Oppenheimer is some of the most harrowing cinema ive seen not for any pathos but just pure horror

modern lichen
#

i love dunkirk because of the economy of imagery and how nolan recontextualises previous sequences with the timelines clashing and culminates in a grand end

#

if this is any indication, oppenheimer is the movie of the year for me

feral kettle
modern lichen
#

even over across the spiderverse perchance...

Oppenheimers my 2nd

the sea imagery is good

I watched more bad movies than good this week so I need Oppenheimer

I wonder if I can watch that many in my lifetime even

leaden depot

The good ones btw

modern lichen

i didnt play a lot of games so longer form media for me involved a lot of movies, comics and books

sage remnant
#

Nice nice

modern lichen
#

there are more than 20k movies on letterboxd

sage remnant
#

Boarding school limited my viewing mostly cuz I was home for like barely 1 month a year

#

For like 9 years Crydo

modern lichen
#

havent even scratched the surface but by normal standards i watched a lot of fuckin movies

#

and i read a lot of fucking books and comics

leaden depot
sage remnant
#

Movies are still kind of hard for me idk why.

I can easily manage a 3 hr movie in a theatre but watching at home even 2 hours ones are difficult at times Crydo

leaden depot
#

Got tired of theatres blowing up my ears lol

sage remnant
#

Never had such problems here

leaden depot
sage remnant
#

and yeah I do wish to watch the classics. Like Idk if I have watched any of Hitchcock's movies or of such popular directors

modern lichen
#

without the ability to watch movies in cinemas i wouldnt have been such a film appreciator

sage remnant
#

Yeah followed you since like a year ago hog

#

Unless you made a new account

modern lichen
#

watching a movie in a dark theatre on a big screen is such a joy to me

leaden depot
#

Oh ok lol

sage remnant
#

Yeah it's a great experience

leaden depot
#

I dont like watching stuff in the dark

#

My eyes would die lol

sage remnant
#

Just watch movies that are mostly dark

modern lichen
#

the definition of a film for me is still something that is screened on film in a theatre and when theatres die, cinema dies

#

the act of immersion into the world of the big screen in front of you is a special experience to me

cunning spruce
#

Yee

leaden depot
#

I have gone to cinemas like twice in the last decade, dont really care tbh

#

I have now watched over 1300 movies on my laptop since late 2020 lol

cunning spruce
#

One of few of my complaints about theaters, is the pricing of tickets.

leaden depot
#

Eh, is the food pricing that is the real issue to me lol

#

Also not having one close since I live in a lil town

mild seal
#

food prices I understand

cunning spruce
#

My Friends and I get the kids packs at AMC

#

They are like 8 something bucks each

spiral dove
#

Thats why you smuggle the food in

crimson lance
#

If you go to amc frequently you should get A list

#

After 2-3 movies you've gotten your money's worth and everything after that is bonus

Sound mixing has been something I've noticed too

#

Dialogue is lower than music and sound fx

I always bring ear plugs to the movies now just in case

Sound mixing definitely is a problem these days yeah

#

99% of all cinema experiences have been insanely good for me

sage remnant
#

Yeah

cyan cave
# sage remnant Never experienced any of those man

Kids always be kicking chairs (honestly wish cinemas put more emphasis on shit like that, and not just focusing entirely on chatting or no phones)
Hell that's why when me and my friends used to go to the cinema we just ended up taking the seats at the top. No one can kick your chair if you're the last one

cyan cave
sage remnant
#

The "worst" that has happened so far is one of my friend directly coming to theatre from gym and smelling quite a bit UsoGrief

#

Other than that, yea its been great everytime

The drunk guy yelling was like, shit it was 9pm and it was fucking Alita battle angel.

Secret Invasion ep 1 and 2 ||isn't it kinda weird that they just introduce us to these skrull characters leading a rebellion without setting them up? like ok they had a flashback at the beginning of ep2 but idk I feel like they could have spent some time setting them up better||

#

they have the first 3 episodes on hulu and I've been watching it in the background

it hasn't been good

The consumes, the props, the environment, lighting

Also my god Laura Bailey is fucking genius at voice acting

How’d you like RDJ’s performance?

modern lichen
#

One of the best in a supporting role this decade so far

outer tulip
#

Couldn’t agree more

modern lichen
#

Every single performance was out of the park

outer tulip
#

Yeah I think this movie will sweep the acting categories

#

Even if it’s just nomination but should def produce winners too

modern lichen
#

I don't give a shit about Oscars or awards but this film deserves the accolades

outer tulip
#

It’ll definitely get it

#

Kind of sucks that both RDJ and Gosling did excellent jobs in the same year

modern lichen
#

That doesn't matter, I am only talking about this movie as a grand artistic achievement

outer tulip
#

I think the most notable accolade would be considering this to be one of Christopher Nolan’s best work

modern lichen
#

It's the best

#

It's his magnum opus

#

The culmination of his life's work

outer tulip
#

Ahh I can see that

#

It’s definitely the one I’ve enjoyed the most.. but I haven’t seen all his movies

#

But this is just such a great movie and I’ll probably watch it all the time when available

# cyan cave Time to watch Aliens

Ok so Aliens has been watched
Certainly a long film. Good action film though
Aliens ||turned the horror rather from 1 single aliens killing power to a horde of never ending aliens. Which was cool.
Also all the extra lore stuff from the marines weapons was cool
Honestly the only part I disliked was the crews defeat, since it all sort of happened via awful shaky cam, alongside when Ripley went back into the hive we never see the bodies of the 2 dudes they mentioned were still alive but being prepared. Other than that I really liked all of the characters I just wish the slaughter was a bit more on screen. Russian dude getting melted by acid, Vasquez and the leaders death alongside the android getting ripped in half was awesome. Also all the aliens looked fucking amazing and honestly much more improved than the previous one||
