[weary jolt]

The Marvels || late to the party with this one as I waited for the Disney + release after not enjoying any of Capt. Marvel’s character points in the past film and appearances. I don’t know why it took them so long to realise Carol was a human but at least guilt explains her socially awkward isolationism. Plot was solid, I enjoyed Kamala and her family greatly and now will have to watch Miss Marvel. Overall it was a solid film, could of done with another 20 mins of runtime to flesh out what was happening in places but nowhere the mess I was expecting.||

[little hull]

The Bear s1 ep 1 ||That was.. interesting, well not what I was expecting at all. I'm not sure if I really enjoyed it or not? I heard this show took a lot of inspiration of real kitchens, I have some background experience to know what it's actually like working in that environment and don't feel like it's accurate at all, yes the stress and anxiety is true but it feels so vastly exaggerated and overacted here for drama reasons. The show setup is so great, but the dilemmas that go on in the kitchen don't really make sense to me, the moment that one guy pulled up the gun to get the people in front of the restaurant to leave is where I dropped the ball with the real kitchen discussion. Feels like a more american/edgy showcase of what's it like in a kitchen, granted I'm not american but european, so who knows maybe that's how sandwich shops operate there lol. I don't know if they're trying to go for realism, I don't find the depiction relatable atleast but it's not really helping how it tries hard to be edgy and cool, also taking itself embarrassingly seriously. The constant yelling was over the top chaos, masquerading as good acting performances in my opinion. There seemed to be some development hinted with Carmen but it wasn't particularly interesting to me well it seem at first till we got into the kitchen, I did like the way it was shot in some parts. Not sure If I'll continue, we'll see I guess.||

I didnt mean to type allat lol but oh well

[mild seal]

damn now I gotta read all of it

The bear s1ep1 ||I feel like you're confusing the dramatic aspects of the show as the real kitchen inspirations. like no shit the gun to get people to leave isn't gonna be realistic for 90% of people that worked in a kitchen, but thats not the part that people talk about||

The bear s1ep1 ||you also miss the point where Carmen comes from a michelin star restaurant and is now working in a sandwich shop in Chicago. Thats the reason for all the yelling and animosity that you say is edgy, Carmy is trying to change the restaurant for the better but they're all stuck in their old ways and don't respect him||

[little hull]

The Bear s1ep1 ||Carmen was definitely the most interesting thing so far about the episode. It almost completely flew by me but he was a major chef after all, cheff de cuisine according to those working with him in the restaurant in the literal best restaurant in the U.S, they don’t make a lot of $$ despite working in big places. I feel like that part of him intrigued me throughout the episode, then you have the hinted development with his brother's death and him filling the void yet being disrespected. There are glimpses of authenticity in those scenes but they are quickly stomped on by more unexplored interpersonal arguments among the cousins, who knows could be for next episodes. The cousin guy is kinda dumb as hell. It sure is niche in what it tries to do lol||

The Bear s1ep1 ||Might watch an episode or two later to fully take in some thoughts on what I think of it and where Carmen's character goes.||

[little hull]

The Bear s1ep1 ||It's not really about the gun thing specifically, but mainly the interaction that goes on in the kitchen itself and how everything is constantly fucking screaming and pissed the hell out it feels kinda bastardized in a way imo, granted it could be due to Carmen's brother passing and this dumb cousin who's now in charge but I feel like the whole way he acted didn't make sense to me. In a irl scenario the one in charge wouldve likely fired them all and hire people who will listen to you since no on there cared or had respect and at the end of the day the real world isn’t that way If I get a new boss because my boss died, they are now the person in charge, and you can’t decide to just ignore what they say because you don’t like it that's another thing I have as issue with Carmen.||

[mild seal]

The Bear s1ep1 ||except that in this example the new boss is your best friend's little brother who you have no respect for, so what you said made no sense||

I feel like you're thinking way too much about the real life kitchen enviornment

[little hull]

The Bear s1ep1 ||If he has no respect for him why does he stay there then?? I mean he is the boss after all. It's kinda silly to me, especially if he wants to change the environment and is treated like crap. But him deliberately choosing to ignore what he says then staying there is kinda silly to me.||

I bring it up often since it was mentioned a lot before getting into the show, like it being the most accurate real kitchen tv show and stuff

[mild seal]

remember this message if you decide to keep watching

thats all I will say

[little hull]

I'll definitely watch an episode or two since it got me talking this much about it but just wanted to discuss that first episode a bit

Weird show but interesting

Reminds me of beef

[cunning spruce]

Turning Red was really good

[little hull]

The way it transitions from shot to shot harsh nothing at all plot related

@modern lichen @sage sleet

damn this casting

[modern lichen]

HOLY FUCK

[little hull]

?!?!?!?!?

Insane casting

[worthy crypt]

finished up all the hitchhiker's guide books. Last 2 a bit of a step down but overall worth the time imo. Especially since theyre pretty short. Moreso in the earlier books but it has a lot of the same adventuring through a crazy world feel as one piece

[sage remnant]

greatest series out there

[worthy crypt]

1-4 are outstanding. Loved every second of the first 4. 5 is decent, 6 is ok.

[sage remnant]

I remember loving all tbe books but yeah the last two definitely lesser

Absurdist comedy works everytime

🙏

[sage remnant]

have you read Discworld?

[worthy crypt]

i read mort but thats it, maybe ill get on the rest of the death saga of discworld next

[sage remnant]

I am in the minority for this rec but I always recommend starting from Small Gods

it gives a good outlook of how Discworld books are

[worthy crypt]

still reading malazan but i like having a short/small books to read alongside huge epics like that

[sage remnant]

ah

[worthy crypt]

i also have that one on my bookshelf

arent there like 40 or something crazy like that

[sage remnant]

you could read blake crouch's stuff for small books

they are scifi thrillers you can finish in one setting

[pale trellis]

Discworld is pretty intimidating to get into

[pale trellis]

Why is Pascal being cast in like everything now

[coarse flower]

Why?I don't think so

It's very fortunate that every book is short

[pale trellis]

Fair

[coarse flower]

So it doesn't take much time to read any of them

[pale trellis]

Arent there like 50 of em

[coarse flower]

40

It will be a while before I start discworld at all

P.S haven't watch the Planet of the Apes Trilogy yet but I'm still hype through

[verbal tiger]

Wait I don’t get this
How can avatar make this much money? It’s terrifying it made this huge fortune from just single film
That’s like over 2 billion and 600million euros

And again with avatar 2

[dim hedge]

Peak

[honest torrent]

watch it

Pretty good

[buoyant iris]

I will soon gotta finish this show first

[copper phoenix]

wrong channel

well now that I'm here why no one posted the f4 teaser yet

[copper phoenix]

pascal and cavill tryina take over all the franchises

bro what if they cast cavill as doom

[tawny parcel]

I am convinced avatar 2 was like a government experiment or something

I do not know a single person that watched that movie

And it made close to the amount of endgame, which is just crazy to me

[copper phoenix]

its wild he managed to make so much money of this forgettable franchise not only once but twice

[tawny parcel]

Avatar 2 making 2 billion again after like 13 years to me is just bewildering

[verbal tiger]

Was Avatar 2 bad?

[tawny parcel]

Idk I didn’t watch it 😭

I just hear no one talk about it, against something like the MCU where endgame was an event for movies when it released

I think Avatar has a huge international audience though iirc

[verbal tiger]

If no one talks about it then it’s puzzling of how avatar 2 made huge profit and what do you mean by government experiment?

[tawny parcel]

I was joking when I said government i just think its crazy it made 2 billion

Barbenheimer was a huge thing last year and avatar still made like a billion more then barbie lmfao

[verbal tiger]

Oh I see. At least I’m not only one surprised that one movie could reach up to the billion level

[little hull]

It was kinda generic

beautiful spectacular movie but just kinda meh plot wise

most the discussion i hear about it is how good it looks

Avatar 2 ||I liked the sea na'vi theyre pretty cool, and those big sea creatures. Jake sully is kinda boring, I couldnt care about his family much tbh and hated that human guy that tags along and betrayed them||

[cyan cave]

thats just Avatar in general tbh

I think I remember reading re invincible that if they were to put it out as a full season it would have taken a while and it had already been a while so they wanted to release the half season they did have done

[broken scarab]

I know, fantastic. I’ve noticed some changes from the comics, I wonder how they’ll play ‘em out.

[fickle ember]

114 might be the last issue of Tom Taylor’s Nightwing run

114 is start of a 5 part arc, so 118 would be the last*

[modern lichen]

oh shit, go for it man

just let it all out

[feral kettle]

been reading a lot more recently

[modern lichen]

what have you been reading

[feral kettle]

I read Dennis cooper’s closer last night, finished the third book of murakamis wind up bird chronicle. in the middle of dracula and richard brody’s godard biography rn

[modern lichen]

i got back into my reading groove as well, finished my reread of the earthsea cycle, special series

[modern lichen]

all good stuff

brody as a critic for me is hilarious, him and armond white

but i love their reviews

[feral kettle]

tbf brody is way more dignified than white LMAO

[modern lichen]

white is a fucking menace

but he is a good writer

[feral kettle]

white borders on extremely stupid and entertainingly stupid but i always like his writing

richard brody has a lot of strange takes but again a great writer

[feral kettle]

i will say i earnestly enjoy the snyder pieces😭

[modern lichen]

white is increasingly bad now because his criticisms boil down to "woke bad and old good" but the way he writes them is good

[feral kettle]

Yea he exclusively does culture war bs

But theres still moments where hes passionate about film

[modern lichen]

its sad, his old reviews are really good pieces of criticism

[feral kettle]

like he genuinely liked rebel moon (lol) and wasnt too political in his review

[modern lichen]

rebel moon....

dead on arrival

[feral kettle]

its a movie

[modern lichen]

its one of the movies of all time for sure

it looks so bad as well compared to his DC work, he helmed the movie's DOP duties as well

[feral kettle]

it looks unique thats for sure

[modern lichen]

larry fong is the secret sauce

i think i'm gonna watch the iron claw next

[feral kettle]

Larry fong is undeniable

iron claw was p good

i dont love it like a lot of people but its very solid

[modern lichen]

i know i will lay down crying in a fetal position after it but i guess i'm in a mood to suffer

[feral kettle]

i cried a lot yea

i watched jt with my friends before we attended a wwe event

Lol

[modern lichen]

that's a fuckin sucker punch

what the

lmao

so i am going for these in order next: iron claw, eileen, monster (kore'eda), the delinquents

and a few more indian movies sprinked in between

[feral kettle]

i still havent seen any 2024 movies

my friend wants to see madame web Lol it looks funny enough tho.

[modern lichen]

oh shit, i have ferrari downloaded

but i wanna rewatch collateral first

hm american fiction out as well

dang

[feral kettle]

Ferrari is really great

i rewatched collateral twice recrntly its sfill one of the besy movies

[modern lichen]

i watched like 2 minutes of it, looked good

collateral just has this texture to it, i guess from the digital cinematography that i think really amplifies the story and material

mann is a master

[feral kettle]

Yeah the early digital in collateral is so special

Somethjng about the how vulnerable LA looks

like compare that to Heat

[modern lichen]

miami vice has similar vibes as well

[feral kettle]

For sure

thats like my favorite movie on some days

[modern lichen]

i sat down to rewatch blackhat recently and i liked it! not really my favorite mann tho

that still prob is collateral

[feral kettle]

blackhat is my favorite nowadays 😭

i saw it in cinemas recently

The directors cut

Super special

[modern lichen]

must hit harder but it feels a lot more gimmicky than the spared down lean machine of a movie i love in collateral, the staple mann coolness taken to its logical digital extreme

heat as well is in contention because of how hard that hits but yeah, something about cruise just wrecking shit that appeals to me

its a side of his that we rarely get to see as well

[feral kettle]

collateral is definitely his most stripped down

[modern lichen]

i will rewatch public enemies soon as well but i dont have much interest in it so i can just postpone it sometime later

[feral kettle]

thats a favorite too

its not as personal to me as blackhat/heat/vice/collateral but its genuinely stunning digital cinematography

[modern lichen]

you really like digital cinematography huh

[feral kettle]

Yep

[modern lichen]

i'm still a filmbro

[feral kettle]

I love the digital noir lighting of publix enemies

[feral kettle]

I like it all

[modern lichen]

yeah, i like it all too

but its like... idk film is something special

which is why i love the work of nolan and PTA in modernity

there's a sense of beauty there

[feral kettle]

Imo u make something like Heat (peak of the artform) the only natural progression is to move formats entirely

Nolan and pta fs make beautiful use of film stock tho

Licorice pizza one of the best looking movies of recent times

and obv oppir

oppie

[modern lichen]

kaminsky is still making some of the best looking images with spielberg

scorsese as well, holy shit killers looked good

i cant wait for coppola to come out with megalopolis now

[modern lichen]

some of those close ups are still in my head

[feral kettle]

the GOAT

the fabelmans is still my fav spielb

gonna rw soon

but that film spoke to me

Im deathly excited for coppola especially as a lover of his most recent works

[modern lichen]

its a really great film yeah

[feral kettle]

I saw his new recut of one from the heart recently

still so good

[modern lichen]

i need to rewatch his dracula, some of the most bonkers visual experiences ever

[feral kettle]

Ye its a visual treat for sure

I love keanu in everything

Thats like the most maximalist shit ever

[modern lichen]

i find him hilarious in that movie ngl

the accent 😭

[feral kettle]

hes funny in many movies

[modern lichen]

anthony hopkins just going HAM as van helsing, tom waits omg, so much fun

[feral kettle]

insane fucking cast in that

Tom waits one of my fav coppola collaborators

[modern lichen]

of course, oldman is just the greatest to ever do it

[feral kettle]

OFTH soundtrack is unreal

[modern lichen]

i like that movie but i dont love it, it looks and sounds really good tho, that's to be expected from a master like coppola

[feral kettle]

its prob my favorite

But he usually doesnt miss i love most of them

[modern lichen]

i cant not chose the run he had in the 70s starting with the godfather and ending with apocalypse now

insane lineup for any director

the godfather, the conversation, godfather part 2 and then apocalypse now

[feral kettle]

the 70s run is obviouslt legendary bc those are all masterpieces but he just impresses me even more with 80s and 2000s

Like rumble fish is fkn insane

[modern lichen]

80s is just coppola going "fuck studios i do my own shit" and its mostly mixed for me

i really like rumble fish and the outsiders

[feral kettle]

yeah it kind of killed his career but i love the ambition

the cotton club is a great film in the vein of the godfather(s)

peggy sue n tucker showing his versatility

[modern lichen]

peggy sue got married is fun, the cotton club is fine as well, tucker is good i like that as an underdog story a lot

[feral kettle]

have u seen his recut of cotton club

[modern lichen]

nope, i will try finding it

[feral kettle]

its more accessible nowadays but the original cut he hates bc the studio made him cut the scenes of black characters

[modern lichen]

a lot more international cinema on my plate now too

[feral kettle]

which is like half the movie in the new cut

[modern lichen]

oh shit

[feral kettle]

its called encore

[modern lichen]

wait

i found it

[feral kettle]

def give it a go im sure its a completely new experience

[modern lichen]

i will

watching clips of dracula

coppola is insane

[feral kettle]

its completely tonally different from the novel lol

[modern lichen]

yeah, the movie just goes ballistic from the get go, some really innovative maximalist horror

[feral kettle]

Oldman is so versatile in that

i barely recognize him

[modern lichen]

oldman is a chameleon

i've been watching oppenheimer movie reactions and 99% of them dont recognize oldman as truman

its insane

[feral kettle]

his small part in oppie is amazing

ye

[modern lichen]

i've been watching slow horses as well, he's so good in that

[feral kettle]

whats that?

[modern lichen]

its a spy thriller show, apple tv+

incredible stuff

very funny, gripping and well written

[feral kettle]

ah

i havent been too into tv lately

I watched the curse thats ab it

and i started a twin peaks rewatch w my friend

[modern lichen]

what the fuck happened in that finale

[feral kettle]

fucking insane

fielder is so great

[modern lichen]

i didnt know how to comprehend that ending

[feral kettle]

me neither lol but it’s definitely interesting

i need fielder to make a film

[modern lichen]

i remember going, how did this go from ||micropenises to dude being in space||

[feral kettle]

😭

Even before that tho its like expert cringe comedy/satire

Was super into it for 9 episodes and then i was jusf like wtf

[modern lichen]

benny safdie i think i prefer more as an actor

he's incredible

[feral kettle]

Im ngl i never reallt enjoyed his performances until the curse

[modern lichen]

he was so good in licorice pizza, oppenheimer and then this

[feral kettle]

Im not a fan of him in oppenheimer

but hes really dark and vulnerable in the curse i like it alot

[modern lichen]

i love him as edward teller because he became edward teller, i couldnt tell the different

looking at footage of the actual teller and then the movie, there's no visible difference, its uncanny

insane chops

[feral kettle]

he’s definitely very funny

[modern lichen]

he is, he wrote most of the show with fielder as well, all round cool dude

[feral kettle]

when u put the safdie’s background with their non-actor work with the curse it makes a lot of sense

[modern lichen]

its unfortunate that the brothers split up

as a team

and now the coens are making separate stuff as well

[feral kettle]

i hear the coens are reuniting

[modern lichen]

hallelujah

[feral kettle]

I wonder how the safdie dwayne johnson project will go lmao

[modern lichen]

lmfaoo

[feral kettle]

whicever brother is doing that

and the sandler one im excited for

[modern lichen]

dwayne returned to WWE, bro saw that he's not that guy

and even there he tried some shit and got fucked up

[feral kettle]

his return to wwe is actually kind kf garbage too😭

he ruined a big moment

[modern lichen]

he destroyed an entire storyline

but apparently they worked it out

[feral kettle]

yea

[modern lichen]

and his heel turn back now is really good apparently

black adam ruined everything

[feral kettle]

😔

[modern lichen]

piece of garbage movie

[feral kettle]

there was a time where i enjoyed his screen acting

[modern lichen]

now that i think about it, i only remember one thing about black adam

[spice folio]

I really need to watch that one, but I think my next movie will be Paris, Texas or Corpse Bride. Depends on my time today after we finish shooting.

but I'll probably watch corpse bride because my mom's birthday is today, I'll only have time for something short

[modern lichen]

black adam ||lil bro on a skateboard riding through a war torn city||

that's all i remember

[feral kettle]

oh💀

[modern lichen]

i'm crying this shit really sucked man

[spice folio]

man I love heat

amazing movie

but I think my favorite from Mann's might be Blowout

[feral kettle]

He did not do that

[modern lichen]

Mann is #thatguy

[feral kettle]

that was brian de palma

[spice folio]

oh yeah lmao

[feral kettle]

but that js also a great film

[spice folio]

I always confuse Mann and De Palma for some reason

[modern lichen]

Blow Out >>> Blow Up

As much as I love Antonioni

[feral kettle]

I need to watch blow up

i keep forgetting to watch more antonioni

i loved lavventure#a

[spice folio]

then yeah I've seen more of De Palma stuff

[feral kettle]

Not fixing that typo

[spice folio]

lmao

[modern lichen]

My favourite is La Notte

[spice folio]

man there's so many movies I need to see

[modern lichen]

I’ve seen a lot of em and there’s still shit I need to see

[feral kettle]

i was gonna watch that next actually

maybe tonight!

[modern lichen]

LETS GOO

Anatomy of a Fall rent free in my head now man

[coarse flower]

Relatable

[spice folio]

these 4 are my main ones that are next on my list, they're pretty long so sometimes I just watch something shorter when I have no time

[modern lichen]

Makes me wanna rewatch Anatomy of a Murder

[spice folio]

after that I'm done with my first list

[feral kettle]

i havent been too interested in anatomy of a fall but recently i was like sure ill watch it lol

[spice folio]

then I move on to my second one

[modern lichen]

Oh you have some bangers down the line

Watch Lawrence on the biggest screen possible

[coarse flower]

I'm literally reading this discussion and thinking "I have to watch this....and this.....and this"

The watchlist never ends

[spice folio]

I have a feeling that I'll like them all

[feral kettle]

Lawrence of arabia fucking rules

70mm…

[modern lichen]

Sandra Huller is a tour de force

I need to watch Zone of Interest asap

[spice folio]

me everytime I'm talking of movies with people

[feral kettle]

tbh im not too interested in zone but i guess ill see it eventually

[modern lichen]

I need to be reminded of the horrors of humanity

[feral kettle]

Ive seen one glazer film i didnt like it

sexy beast

[modern lichen]

Glazer is amazing

I love that movie lmao

[feral kettle]

maybe under the skin is great

[spice folio]

I'm watching zone of interest tomorrow in the theater

I can't wait

[modern lichen]

Kingsley is just insane

Yeah I think you’ll like Under the Skin

[feral kettle]

Its not like bad but for some reason it rubs me the wrong way

[coarse flower]

Love all of these five

[feral kettle]

maybe its the britishness

[modern lichen]

Lmfao

Perchance

The movie I’m looking forward to the most is Madame Web, the masterpiece of all time

[feral kettle]

it looks really funny

im not sure how its real

ive seen clips that are just baffling

[modern lichen]

I’ve seen a clip and the editing is so bad I just loved it

[feral kettle]

why do they talk like that

[modern lichen]

It’s bad in a way that’s baffling yet I’m interested in it

[feral kettle]

😭

i cant see me nkt having a great time watching it tho

cuz i die laughing whenever i see clips

[modern lichen]

The trailer line about her mom isn’t in the movie

[feral kettle]

nooo

[modern lichen]

Funniest delivery of all time

I can absolutely see me having the time of my life watching that movie, like Morbius

[feral kettle]

it looks way funnier than morbius

Have you seen Brazil 1985? It's soo trippy and uniquely good

[hazy cypress]

U need to watch blue velvet, violet

[hazy cypress]

I’ll watch it

[earnest plover]

It's one of the best timetravel science fiction

[earnest plover]

It's soo weird

[hazy cypress]

Hopefully they have it in Portuguese I could understand it

Or maybe it’s just English

[earnest plover]

Okay... That was David Lynch right?

[hazy cypress]

The movie looks so goofy lmaoo

[hazy cypress]

Yes

[earnest plover]

https://tenor.com/view/brazil-gif-7457243

[hazy cypress]

LMAO

[earnest plover]

This Brazil movie

[hazy cypress]

looks like x men

Quite literally

Same room and everything

[earnest plover]

Yeah. It's so Psychological

[earnest plover]

The movie looks like Blade Runner 1982 vibes but more trippy

[sage remnant]

I second what Aka said

[pale trellis]

lol

[hazy cypress]

Is it trippier than Donnie darko💀

[earnest plover]

Yes. I love Donnie Darko tho haha

[hazy cypress]

Same same

[earnest plover]

The most trippy and traumatised movie I watched is A Clockwork Orange. I watched it in pandemic and what the hell

But it's good psychological thriller

[hazy cypress]

I started watching it the other day but I fell asleep

😭

Smh

[earnest plover]

Lmao... the actor did a good job ngl

It was very strange

I watched his ...If (1968) and O' Lucky man (1973) and it's so weird as well.... @hazy cypress

[hazy cypress]

Yesss he was amazing

Idk how to word it but your knowledge of movies is very cool

[earnest plover]

Yeah Malcolm Mcdowell shouldve won best actor in the Oscars but the film got controversial that time.

People are not ready for that

Yet

[earnest plover]

Aaaaa thanks

You as well alex

[hazy cypress]

I hate that sort of thing lol but sometimes when a movie is controversial it’s a good movie just like the controversy when fight club came out

Imma watch Paris, Texas before work

Showing my husband Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time. I’m so excited, really looking forward to this one.

https://tenor.com/view/avatar-the-last-airbender-aang-airbending-goofy-funny-gif-13514465

[rich meadow]

As in looking forward to watching the original show with your husband or are you referring to the upcoming live action show

[keen zinc]

The original series. As in, I grew up loving it so I can’t wait to share my favorite moments with him. Totally see how that was confusing, lol.

I don’t have many hopes in the new live action since I read that the og creators left.

[rich meadow]

Oh no you’re good lol, it’s one of my favorite series too. I’m sure your husband will love it 🙂

And yeah this upcoming live action is almost certainly going to be a train wreck given all the reported creative changes they’ve made which as you said, drove the original creators off

[keen zinc]

In era where Gaiman, Riordan, and Oda are directly involved with the adaptations of their work, is just terrible PR from Netflix driving off the IP OGs.

[rich meadow]

Very true

[fickle ember]

Evan putting negativity out in the universe…single handedly ruining the LA

[blissful quest]

@rich nimbus

Let’s talk here

[rich nimbus]

Okay

[blissful quest]

Lemme pull up the episode list so I can spoiler tag properly

[rich nimbus]

Been awhile since I watched the season they just put it on hulu

[blissful quest]

Rick and morty S7E2 ||the part where Jerry fucking kills himself as soon as he gets the knowledge Rick has ||

||like I know I shouldn’t laugh at that but it caught me so off guard I couldn’t help it||

[rich nimbus]

Jerry episodes are 10/10 lately always laugh my ass off

[blissful quest]

Oh for sure

I’m glad they upped his character

Made him less irrelevant

Funnier

[rich nimbus]

Early season Jerry getting shit on every episode

Pluto one was one of the funniest

[blissful quest]

No frrrr

Rick and morty S7E5 ||tho I gotta say this episode hit pretty hard seeing Rick finally kill Rick prime…||

[rich nimbus]

The fact it wasn’t the season finale

[blissful quest]

YEAH!!

That too

Was like damn

They just gunna keep goin then huh

[rich nimbus]

Rick and morty 7ep5 ||the ending monologue of when Rick is just beating prime to death gave me chills crazy moment||

[blissful quest]

Yuuupp

[rich nimbus]

And then it’s just over head empty

[blissful quest]

Rick and morty s7e5 || and how clearly Rick prime realized our Rick full on invaded his home and tracked him down and was ultimately the one who killed him||

[maiden maple]

||What’s ?||

[blissful quest]

It’s a laughing emote

[rich nimbus]

Lived in his house

[blissful quest]

Yuuupp

Rick C137 is the real deal

He’s the rickest Rick

[rich nimbus]

The rickest Rick

[maiden maple]

Ohh i thought u meant knowledge Rick has ___ and another word

[rich nimbus]

I forget what ep happens after that one

[blissful quest]

Ohhh hahaha

It was basically Morty’s mindblowers

But with the punch cards

[rich nimbus]

Ohh yeah with the rock things

[blissful quest]

And the observer

Yeah

[rich nimbus]

Not a bad ep but man what is that like 4 times they did a interdimensonal cable now

[blissful quest]

The season finale was a mind fuck for me tho a little bit

[rich nimbus]

The twilight zone ep I forgot what a great end

[blissful quest]

I was skeptical about them leaving the hole too

Was like hmmmmmmm

Is it really over

[rich nimbus]

Rick and morty 7 end ||finally getting to see Diane spending time with the family just to find out Rick was fake||

[blissful quest]

Yuuuuuupp

[rich nimbus]

Hope I see one next time I’m at dennys

[blissful quest]

You’ll have to let me know if you do

Since it’s in the men’s room

I’ll have my friend’s husband check next time we go

@modern lichen how many have you read from here?

I hadn't even heard of like 12 of them :kekhands:

[buoyant iris]

Chat should I watch Riverdale

[modern lichen]

Yes

[dim hedge]

Its absolutely terrible, yes

[modern lichen]

I’ll take a look at this soon

[dim hedge]

One of the funniest shows i’ve ever seen, and i think it’s mostly unintentional

[buoyant iris]

Igh i add that to my watchlist

[dim hedge]

Riverdale latest || genuinely one of the funniest things to happen on tv, theres no way anyone on the writing staff takes it seriously anymore ||

[buoyant iris]

What season is this

[dim hedge]

One of the later ones

The show honestly gets better with each season as the writing quality keeps plummeting

And somehow its funnier with context

[buoyant iris]

[dim hedge]

Nothing can prepare you for the context of the image i sent, 10/10 one of the greatest shows around

[shrewd sigil]

way of kings ch32 ||man..||

[fickle ember]

New USM soon

[burnt lake]

just a refresher, it's Black Panther, Spider-man, "Universe", and Invasion just for now right

X-men starts coming out march 6th

or is invasion not a part of it

[modern lichen]

invasion and universe set it up

[burnt lake]

ah

universe first, I assume

[modern lichen]

and the recent series - black panther, spider-man and the upcoming x-men are a part of the universe that is resulted by invasion and universe yep

i'm very excited for ultimate x-men because peach momoko is doing it and it looks really cool

[burnt lake]

Yeah I see a cover for issue 1 and it looks nice

[fickle ember]

Yeah, and what harsh said

Universe and invasion are just world set up

[burnt lake]

does it matter if I read universe first or after

invasion*

[modern lichen]

you need to read invasion first

and then universe

[burnt lake]

gotcha

[fickle ember]

Yeah they’re one after the other

[modern lichen]

also universe is like one issue and invasion has 4 issues, you can breeze through them, great art as well

[fickle ember]

I wasn’t too interested in it tbh…just read for the set up. The individual titles are much better imo, so hopefully it doesn’t put you off if you don’t like it

[modern lichen]

oh btw i read ultimate BP issue 1 the other day

actually pretty cool

[burnt lake]

how many issues of USM are there rn?

[fickle ember]

Ultimate BP || setting up a war between the two characters that are avatars for a god is a really cool idea, looking forward to seeing it unfold ||

[modern lichen]

ultimate black panther 1 ||pitting the 2 african influenced heroes against each other is a pretty great idea||

[fickle ember]

Just 1 atm

[burnt lake]

gotcha

[fickle ember]

Next is on 21st

[modern lichen]

OH SHIT

it's time

[burnt lake]

I could catch up

[modern lichen]

easily

[fickle ember]

UBP || my only complaint is the mask looks ugly, why’d they make his lips visible ||

[fickle ember]

[modern lichen]

UBP ||yeah the mask looked really weird lmao, BP was still raw tho||

[fickle ember]

Not often a new universe starts

You should catch up

[modern lichen]

ultimate universe resurgence is making me so happy man

[fickle ember]

[modern lichen]

they're taking all the right steps

[fickle ember]

Gonna try to follow all the series released, or at the very least try them all before dropping

[modern lichen]

This has the vibes of House/Powers of X

Just such a promising new continuity with fresh ideas

[mild seal]

I remember when the original ultimate universe happened and it looked so cool

[burnt lake]

after Universe is it SM or BP

[modern lichen]

Either is fine

[fickle ember]

Spider-Man came out first, but they don’t overlap so whichever

[modern lichen]

I would check out SM first

Because it’s so good

[burnt lake]

im setting this up weird but it makes sense to my stupid head

[modern lichen]

This is right

[burnt lake]

its gonna be all in 1 folder for Tachi to digest

well, I switched over to Mihon actually

[modern lichen]

Isn’t Tachi gone

Yeah lmao

[burnt lake]

the repo is

you can still use tachi

just setup stuff you gotta do

[fickle ember]

Keeping track of releases

[burnt lake]

All caught up

[pale trellis]

Got a 3 day weekend and I had a plan, I was gonna read the entire weekend, and then I got sick ON MY FIRST DAY OFF, what a scammm

[burnt lake]

Always the worst

[pale trellis]

The sirens lured me in with the extra day off and then they struck, tears

[burnt lake]

[leaden depot]

God

These puns kill me

[burnt lake]

That joke is a shoe-in

[fickle ember]

@burnt lake USM 2024 || now that you’re caught up…hear me out, osborn is just bait. Jameson is the real green goblin ||

[burnt lake]

Usm 2024 ||considering all the differences this universe has to offer it wouldn't be too far out of the picture||

[fickle ember]

USM 2024 || what’d you think of the fake out when Jameson yells for Parker and walks past Peter for Ben? ||

Literally me

[burnt lake]

No fr

Usm 2024 ||literally changed everything seeing Ben alive and Peter in his 30s||

[burnt lake]

Usm 2024 /Ultimate Universe ||may still died tho also is it confirmed that Tony died in the blast? We known there's time travel involved to some capacity but like how far does it reach out in regards to their safety? Also kind of a shit way for Thor to die, literally only being around for 1 issue ||

[fickle ember]

USM 2024 || yeah may died in that big blast thing, idk about tony. Maybe he survived some how but for the time being I think he’s off the table ||

Now we wait for Wednesday

[burnt lake]

Usm 2024 ||maybe since he was able to send stuff 6 months into the future, he sent himself and the rest of the party to some point in the future, I can't remember if the reactor his dad made could go back in time or not||

Usm 2024 ||it can definitely go forward though, all the way to the end of time||

Usm 2024 /ultimate universe /ultimate Invasion ||I'm assuming that Tony's dad saw himself in Kangs armor, but I'm gonna leave it off the table for now until it gets properly revealed. Hell it could be Tony for all we know||

Anyways that was a fun read, can't wait for more

[fickle ember]

[burnt lake]

Also the X-Men sneak looks gorgeous

I want it nowwww

[fickle ember]

It’s gotten me in the mood for more comics, and it’s only been 1 issue

[burnt lake]

Real

[fickle ember]

Gonna be my first xmen series I’ll be reading, ignoring some event stuff I’ve read

[burnt lake]

I have Batman new 52-current day on my tablet rn so I might hop and start that up. Already read 52 but wanting a reread

It'll be my first xmen series too

[fickle ember]

Main universe has too many titles, I cbf

[modern lichen]

My condolences

[burnt lake]

I wanted to get into it but work killed my motivation

[burnt lake]

Oh I expect disappointment

[modern lichen]

Did you read House/Powers

[modern lichen]

It starts off really well

But it just drops off a cliff real bad

[burnt lake]

The rebirth?

[fickle ember]

Nah

[modern lichen]

Rebirth yeah

[modern lichen]

Hickman greatness

[burnt lake]

[modern lichen]

Batman New 52 is the Snyder run

Which is in the pins that I included

[burnt lake]

I originally read the first issue of batman rebirth it wasn't that bad, but the Snyder run was something else

[modern lichen]

Yeah the tom king rebirth run started off well

[fickle ember]

Tom King’s stuff isn’t bad if you haven’t read previous comics tbh

His main problem is ignoring past characterization

[modern lichen]

Have you read Supergirl by him Omni?

[burnt lake]

[modern lichen]

Insanely good comic

[fickle ember]

Not yet, but I plan to

[modern lichen]

Oh man it’s amazing

[burnt lake]

Wouldn't that be good for people to get into it without needing insane history lessons

[modern lichen]

That and Mister Miracle are some of his best works

[fickle ember]

After I finish my anime bingo I’ll switch to comics

[fickle ember]

Yeah, but the people complaining are regular readers still

[burnt lake]

Ah

Double sided blade ig

[fickle ember]

Like I understand why gun likes king’s stuff, we’ll probably see some stuff adapted if the new movies succeed
