Probably best to not talk about it here

[outer tulip]

Something like that idk the details… she’s the star of Emelia Perez

[primal mason]

Finished Furiosa movie ||Good movie. The origins of how Furiosa came to be was interesting and the way she pulled her vengeance against Jack was absolute savagery. 🤯 ||

[wooden swift]

Watched all of American Primeval

Started off so promising and raw, ended on a whimper bending the knee to common tropes

6.8/10

[fickle ember]

[mild seal]

Tell me you don't know about the fantastic four without telling me you don't know

[fickle ember]

If I wanted to watch a movie about family that was abbreviated with two Fs I’d watch fast and furious smh

[raw gate]

Think I’m going to rewatch all of Twin Peaks

Focusing on Gundam atm tho

So probably afterwards

[mild seal]

Also I like how he says it's a dated concept and then says the fucking Jetsons are more compelling

[fickle ember]

The jetsons was ahead of it’s time…I will stand for no slander

Jetsons Flinstones crossover > mcu

[raw gate]

Person likely in their late 40s-early 50s who cannot let the new generation of kids have a FF franchise

People on Twitter are miserable

[mild seal]

I'm not saying it's bad, it's just older than the ff

I grew up watching the Jetsons

I did like the Flintstones more though

Got a film a week assigned as homework so i’m back on the film binge

Been slacking this year, haven’t seen anything except for nosferatu at the start of the year

[raw gate]

Woman in the Dunes and Blind Beast

Unless there are specific films you’ve been assigned

In which case disregard my suggestions

[dim hedge]

Nah our teacher just told us anything

[primal mason]

I’m in the strong mood to watch the Blade Runner movies

[dim hedge]

So i’ll check those 2 out ty

[white smelt]

Watch the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert ford

Also I saw the first sonic

Surprisingly decent

Jim Carrey definitely carried the movie lol

[mild seal]

ghost ping...

[raw gate]

Anyone seen The Monkey yet?

Oh it’s not even out

How are people talking about this flopping already then?

[naive juniper]

its not out

[raw gate]

That is indeed what my message says

[naive juniper]

it seems like a reskin of chucky imo

[raw gate]

Hmm

Ah, they were talking about Monkey Man and not the upcoming “The Monkey” film. I see I see

[raw gate]

Hopefully a better reskin

Chucky is the most unserious horror movie antag I’ve ever seen

Ah yes, let me run away from the two foot unscary doll instead of manhandling it

Or punting it

[naive juniper]

he gives off a stewie vibe

[naive juniper]

thats what i kept thinking

[sage remnant]

@mild seal Happy Birthday

[mild seal]

thank you, user21321

[tawny parcel]

That’s the point lol

[tawny parcel]

Is there anything you’re looking for in them or like

Man whatever just watch the Truman show no matter what the purpose is, greatest to ever do it

[dim hedge]

I do gotta watch that yeah

Been meaning to for years but keep forgetting

[raw gate]

[tawny parcel]

Brother in what world is chucky serious

[dim hedge]

The movies are definitely more horror comedy so it works

[raw gate]

They’re just horror

Not intended to be comedic

Just have aged very poorly

[tawny parcel]

Bro

[raw gate]

“Bro”

[dim hedge]

Maybe the first 1 or 2 but later on they’re definitely leaning into the comedy

[raw gate]

This is correct, yeah

[dim hedge]

I think the first 2 definitely still have comedic elements that are intentional

[raw gate]

Chucky is just a rat bastard who says things that are ironically funny, I agree

[dim hedge]

And i love him for it

[mild seal]

Child's play ||the idea of a serial killer inhabiting the body of a doll is very comedic||

[raw gate]

The film series doesn’t start delving into the campiness until after seeing the reception from the first Child’s Play, which for all intents and purposes was just conceived as a slasher film. Realizing the absurdity of a killer doll, the franchise begins to have more fun, like in Bride of Chucky

[raw gate]

Yeah, the idea of it is

[tawny parcel]

So it’s inherently silly

[mild seal]

Child's play ||the movie literally starts with the killer doing a voodoo ritual like c'mon it's a comedy||

[raw gate]

The tonal contrast between the established slasher genre and the murderer being a child’s toy can be funny to some

[dim hedge]

Childs play || i think scenes like him revealing himself to Andys Mum are meant to be silly, its this small doll with yhe voice of a 40 year old man swearing at a woman whilst slapping and biting her ||

[raw gate]

That wasn’t the original idea, though, and Chucky is pretty much a serious character in the first two films who is funny in the same vein as Scream is

[dim hedge]

So much of his dialogue and line delivery feels very intentionally comedic

[raw gate]

They just say fucked up things that does indeed add some levity to the situation

But it’s not like Get Out lmao

[mild seal]

https://tenor.com/view/groundhog-groundhog-eating-gif-27654631

[raw gate]

It’s funny to us now, yes, because it’s fucking stupid

This is where death of the author comes into play

You guys can interpret it as comedic all you want, and I agree that it’s funny, but that wasn’t the intention

[tawny parcel]

Scream is a hilarious movie

[raw gate]

At least not until they realized people thought it was stupid and begun to make the series camp

[tawny parcel]

Its so dumb

[dim hedge]

Childs play || the casting of Brad Dourif and his dialogue can’t be anything other than intentionally comedic, its this small toddler doll screaming and cursing in the voice of a middle aged man ||

[tawny parcel]

Do we have source of this author intention????

Is it in the room with us right now

[raw gate]

Child’s Play is an American slasher horror film

Not a horror comedy

[mild seal]

I would argue slashers have comedic undertones

[tawny parcel]

You compared it to scream which is a comedy

[raw gate]

Why do you just keep saying they’re comedies lmao

They’re not

Glex is on the nose, tho

[mild seal]

Ignore wombat

He's dumb

[raw gate]

There are comedic elements to what the murderers themselves say and do

But it doesn’t just make it a comedy genre all of a sudden

[tawny parcel]

Okay well I didn’t know you were talking specifically comedy genre

I thought you were just trying to say Chucky wasn’t trying to be humorous

Yeah the movies have humor

[modern lichen]

Child’s Play has comedic elements but it’s predominantly a suspenseful horror film yeah

[tawny parcel]

I would argue scream may be a comedy movie lol

[modern lichen]

Scream is a meta-satire of slasher horror conventions made by the guy who pioneered those conventions himself

[tawny parcel]

I understand you’re talking labels now though

[modern lichen]

Scream very much works in the comedic vein but the humour lies in skewering established horror tropes

So yeah

They can count as comedic

It’s one of those “loving tribute to <x genre> but also is a really competent <x genre> film” film

[mint veldt]

is it nostalgia bias or is breaking bad way better than bcs
i just finished the bcs 4th season

[raw gate]

I think BB is a lot better than BCS, yeah

Make sure to look up the concept art for Blade Runner by Syd Mead after you're done, it's beautiful.

I say they made a movie about it, but its really a romantic comedy lmao

Words of Radiance - Question: ||Last night, I got to the part where Shallan spies on Amaram for the first time and learns that his Shardblade belonged to her brother. That means Kaladin killed Helaran, right?||

[limber urchin]

There's only one good Jurassic Park film, the rest never existed.

[limber urchin]

Words of Radiance - Theory ||I forgot to mention this, but my current theory is Odium is Wit in human form. No reasoning other than gut feeling. The last time I saw Wit was when he was guiding the carriage towards the menagerie for Kaladin, Adolin, and Shallan. Other ideas are Wit is the "dead" God that Dalinar sees in his visions. Then again, Shallan mentions seeing "something" within the stormwall when it's being illuminated and Kaladin also saw a face there - could be the Highstorms contain Odium instead. Well, either way, thanks for listening to me babble.||

First episode of Twin Peaks was incredible

[raw gate]

You’re watching a show that changed lives forever

[dim hedge]

Might be one of if not the best pilots i’ve seen

[raw gate]

Easily my favorite thing ever put on the screen

Twin Peaks and The Wire

We cannot replace

[dim hedge]

I’m so excited to get into it since i’ve heard great things and i know its a heavy inspiration for my favourite game series of all time

[raw gate]

Lynch is a one of a kind visionary

[dim hedge]

And yeah that pilot has me hooked

Can’t watch more rn I’ll continue later today

[dim hedge]

I gotta start making my way through the rest of his work after i finish this

[raw gate]

Once you finish the show you should watch fire walk with me

It’s a prequel

[dim hedge]

Yeah heard about that

[raw gate]

But meant to be experienced after

I’m excited for you

Keep me updated

[dim hedge]

From what i’ve seen i should watch it between seasons 2-3

[dim hedge]

Will do

[limber urchin]

You're in for a fucking ride. Enjoy.

[primal mason]

Finished Blade Runner ||Although I can recognize the cool dark vibes & worldbuilding from this film and the lesson taken (in that humans can be worse than robots with how people treat others), I found this surprisingly boring. The robot situations & minimal conversations that happen that showcase the human robot morality just don't poke intrigue compared to the other similar stories I've seen. It's mainly the overall bleak characterization of the main cast that kills any sort of entertainment and intrigue for me personally. ||

Watching this reminded me of the time I attempted to watch Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex years ago. || IIRC, it has the same robot moral story going for it too, but the characterization of the cast just killed any sort of will to continue. ||

[primal mason]

A friend I was talking to said that they hated Blade Runner, but loved 2049, to a point where they were glad they watched the original. So I'm keeping an open mind.

Watched the first 3 episodes of Castlevania Nocturne S2

Series still kicks ass

Weird how this franchise is probably better known as a TV show than a videogame now

[mild seal]

cause konami sucks

[white smelt]

I only watched the first season and idk I couldn’t vibe with it

[near echo]

I mean that goes without saying

[white smelt]

The mcs dialogue was fuck every 5 words

[near echo]

It's calmed down on that a LOT since they kicked Warren Ellis out but the potty mouth script is still kinda baked into the tone of the show

[white smelt]

Unlucky

Probably just not for me.

Cool that it’s still going though

Wonder when we’ll get a new game

That had that big game collection on switch like a year ago

[near echo]

As long as you have a general context for the lore of Castlevania you could skip straight up Nocturne which is now led by a different guy and is a bit less crass

Give that one a stab instead

My sister in law dropped the first series cuz it was way too much for her and she loves Nocturne

[near echo]

Konami doesn't seem to have the ability to make original inhouse games again yet

These remakes of their classics feel like a way to rebuild their studios and partner relationships

Train em on MGS3 Delta before they can touch a MGS6

[white smelt]

Is nocturne rondo of blood or symphony of the night

[near echo]

They kinda did a similar thing with Castlevania at a WAY smaller scale with the Haunted Castle Remake in the new collection, they might be seeing if they (was it M2) can handle a 2d eshop game

Maybe they'll start basing em off the shows lol

Primarily Rondo

It's loose though

[white smelt]

interesting

Guess I can give it a whirl

[near echo]

I'm so excited for DMC

[modern lichen]

nocturne is a lot more serious than the original show, i'll say that

[dim hedge]

New Jurassic world looks gorgeous

I'm bored while the machines are running at work so I'm gonna watch Severance

[modern lichen]

Great choice

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1E1 ||Cool premise, kinda horrifying so far. Makes me think of Bioshock or that one movie with all the employees trapped||

Severance S1E1 ||Ah, so that's the caveat||

Severance S1E1 ||All of the scenery makes me think of that one game, I think it was called Control? All of the corporate environment and bland colors||

[modern lichen]

severance s1e1 ||the lumon office is so well designed||

severance s1e1 ||immediately you're aware of the exact brand of creepy that this company is being||

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1E1 ||Yeah, it's very creepy; The movie I was thinking of was the Belko Experiment||

[modern lichen]

its a great show, enjoy!

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1E1 ||Huh, everyone being two separate characters is really interesting, the Petey and Mrs. Selvig twists caught me off-guard||

Funny how I've seen most of these actors before

[sage sleet]

Oh wait invincible today

Blade Runner|| I'll give him points for appreciating the artistry but negative points for not understanding that boring can also mean soothing or relaxing which is the kind of thing Blade Runner can do to you with the mood it sets. His account will be banned in 5 minutes.||

Words of Radiance chapter 57-58 ||Man.....MAN! Reading Kaladin coming to Adolin's aid in the fighting pit gave me such a pumped-up feeling. And then seeing how it all ended right as Kaladin challenged Amaram was such a gut punch. It was like getting your every wish granted and then having the monkey's paw curl into a middle finger. Now, I have a feeling Kaladin will help Moash and his group kill Elohkar. Very exciting stuff happening, loving this book.||

Words of Radiance ch 58 ||In the moment it was fucking awesome and I thought he was going to get the chance....but alas, he's a darkeyes. On that note, I do want to say I'm pretty impressed with how Brandon has handled the concept of racism in this world, mostly because it's something many have probably considered - that humans, even if we all had the same skin tone, would find something, even eye color, as an excuse to treat each other poorly.||

make sure you watch the return immediately after twin peaks, its essential

90s X-Men season 2 ||Dude Mr Sinister is so lame lmao||

[trim crown]

I'm doubting myself

But I'm 100% sure it's the baby from who framed Roger rabbit

[mild seal]

It is

Who framed Roger rabbit ||it starts with the baby's mom leaving Roger to take care of the baby and then the baby escapes, but I never saw him crying||

[primal mason]

I'm gonna watch the movie Always

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1E5 ||This shit has a lot going on man, I can't get enough of it but I also can't keep it; What happened at this place?||

[limber urchin]

Words of Radiance, chapter early 60s - Question ||The madman that Shallan visits with the masked woman....am I supposed to have heard of this guy before? Secondly, is he one of the hospital victims of Taravangian that were being bled dry to force out prophetic statements? It just felt like this plot point came out of nowhere unless I'm forgetting something I read earlier about Dalinar letting in a madman.||

[sonic tree]

Which movie are you going to watch always?

Must be pretty good

[coarse flower]

Nah,it's probably shitty

Always is

[shrewd sigil]

did you finish chapter 63?

[limber urchin]

No, I'm in the middle of chapter 62.

I guess I gotta just keep reading to fix my confusion.

[shrewd sigil]

i think you either mixed up the chapter number or i am also very confused 😭, ill just wait until you finish to be safe

[limber urchin]

Yeah, that's fair. Better safe than sorry.

[primal mason]

Finished Always ||Kinda weird movie from Spielberg tbh. The way in which the spiritual, dead husband premise was executed was kinda awkward. It definitely felt that way when the husband was watching her wife kiss his new potential boyfriend and I'm like, "WTF?! LMAO!". Still, there was a bit of charm and layer to it. I liked the ending a little too cause there was lots of tension and closure for the wife to finally move on from her loss, having rescued firefighters without losing her life, and the husband being able to finally talk to her when she was at death's door drowning. ||

[primal mason]

It's an obscure Spielberg film

or least popular

[fickle ember]

Obscure and Spielberg in the same sentence

[main lion]

@verbal moat you do have to spoiler tag like everyone else

[limber urchin]

@verbal moat The Way of Kings, end ||Crap....that was actually my first original guess when I was reading last night, but then I dismissed it as me just randomly guessing.||

EDIT: ||Actually, let me be more specific. I didn't actually guess who he was, so much as my gut was pointing me in the direction of the end of the first book but I dismissed that feeling.||

[limber harbor]

You cannot be fucking serious

[main lion]

I am

its chill just tag

[limber harbor]

I didn’t spoil anything

That’s fucking it

That’s so stupid.

[main lion]

Invincible latest eps || its very clearly a reaction to something horrible happening to a character or w/e in latest eps (havent watched it yet). If you're implying context then thats spoiling. Dont vaguepost to avoid spoiler tags||

[limber harbor]

It wasn’t

[main lion]

Invincible ||Ill watch in a few days and get back to you on that, but I don't believe you. I will rescind the warning if it wasn't. But for now, take it seriously||

please respond in tags for the time being 🙂

[limber harbor]

Youre premptively warning me for something you know nothing about

[main lion]

I warned you for some obvious context for your message. Now drop it. I will rescind the warning retroactively if I was wrong

[limber harbor]

There is 0 context to my message

The only context is you wanting to feel like I spoiled you on something

[main lion]

Im not here to argue about it. Take the warning seriously.

[limber harbor]

It’s honestly so fucking stupid

[main lion]

I will rescind it if I was wrong in a few days, and it will not be on your record in that case

[limber harbor]

I don’t even care about my “record” it’s just the principle

[main lion]

you have a consistent issue with bitching about spoiler tag rules and skirting the line. You have done this before. This isn't out of nowhere. Maybe stop making it a problem every time

[limber harbor]

I have complained about the rules but I’ve always spoil tagged consistently. This is not one of those times.

[main lion]

we can move on now. I'm leaving it at that.

[limber harbor]

I don’t make it a problem every time. The last time I complained was like 7-8 months ago

[modern lichen]

@raw gate started Severance S2 and watched episode 1, what a great start already

[raw gate]

[modern lichen]

Severance S2E1 || it’s amazing how immediately the series places you in the mood and setting and unsettles you. I immediately clocked Helena being there instead of Helly, there will be a point where they switch back. Loved both Dylan and Irv’s separate storylines being continued in the way they’re being continued. Irv’s grief and Dylan’s desperation are excellently telegraphed. Loved how weird the new supervisor is and how stupid the new team was, in contrast to the cast as we know. Great stuff ||

[raw gate]

Can’t wait til you catch up

[modern lichen]

Watching the remaining 3 tomorrow

Severance S2E1 || also can we talk about how great the direction was? This show looks better than most movies out there, Ben Stiller has developed into one of my favorite directors out there through this show and it shows. The shots are framed excellently, especially that insane opening sequence. ||

Severance S2E1 || another highlight of this episode is Tramell Tillman as Milchick, his veneer cracking and his dissatisfaction towards how the company treats him has to lead somewhere, there has to be a breaking point. Side note, that fucking instructional video Milchick shows the team is so fucking creepy ||

Severance S2E1 || I love how the team is more wary of the new management. I’m particularly intrigued by Miss Huang, such an uncanny performance by the child actress here, it makes me wonder if she’s from like the same sort of Lumon backed cult like school that Cobel also graduated from. She’s got the same sort of uncanny vibe to her ||

[sage remnant]

@magic bloom where in WoT

[magic bloom]

Crossroads of Twilight

[sage remnant]

How was the prologue

[magic bloom]

I feel like this is the actual slog

[sage remnant]

The book is

[magic bloom]

CoT || the prologue was like 100 pages of nothingbable that went on for wayyyyy too long. I genuinely cannot tell you what happened in the prologue aside from “some aes sedai did something, a guy called the little wolf is in action in the northwest, Andor bullshit and Cairhien bullshit ||

I tried reading at work and decided to just play on my switch instead more often than not after a few pages

Not for lack of attention. I have a good attention span. It just loses me

[rich meadow]

Lmfao

You’re in it now

[fickle ember]

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1E6 ||Damn, I didn't expect it to be a literal on-and-off switch||

[sage remnant]

[primal mason]

I'm gonna watch Bo Burnham: Inside

[modern lichen]

great

[limber urchin]

Bo Burnham: Inside ||I can't believe how masterful "Welcome to the Internet" is.||

[modern lichen]

inside ||all eyes on me gets me everytime||

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1E7 ||The dance scene?????????????????????? LMFAO||

Severance S1E7 ||No, not the Music Dance Experience 😭||

[raw gate]

My favorite episode of that season

[limber urchin]

Inside ||lol I was just listening to it, it's one of my favorites, you can just let that song wash over you.||

[raw gate]

Severance S2 ||Agreed about the Ben Stiller directing bit. The entire show has been shot fantastically. Direction and cinematography are definitely some of the big highlights and one of the main reasons the show is so evocative aside from, of course, the phenomenal acting done by the cast members. Not a single badly played role in this whole series thus far.||

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1E7 ||Fuck, I guessed the wrong woman, I knew it was gonna be one of the two lmfao||

[mild seal]

And accurate

[limber urchin]

scarily accurate

Bo Burnham: Inside ||It's crazy how I got to experience the entirety of "Welcome to the Internet" in real time as it happened. Brings back them good memories of shitty 90s dial-up.||

[mild seal]

Yeah lol

[outer tulip]

doom patrol 3x2 || https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul543LDLjsQ ||

[primal mason]

Finished Bo Burnham: Inside ||Cool film about self-destruction in the midst of creativity. Catchy songs. It's pretty fun, though I personally don't connect to it as much as others do. Other media with similar premises I've seen have fulfilled this for me before inside. ||

[modern lichen]

its a standup special

about being isolated in the pandemic and about mental health in times of crisis

its better if you read up on context before you go into stuff like this

inside is not a narrative film

its a collection of comedic bits and songs that tell a story loosely

[mild seal]

Dude what

[modern lichen]

he totally just didnt get it

[primal mason]

I prefer going totally blind.

[modern lichen]

and you missed out on the most blatantly obvious aspect of the special

[primal mason]

That's how I get the best experience for most media i see

[modern lichen]

its like talking to a wall

ok dude

[mild seal]

I mean it's great if that's how you enjoy watching media, but just know that it will cause you to misunderstand the content from time to time

[modern lichen]

still reminds of me of the fuckin battle of algiers review where dude so fundamentally misunderstood the intention of the movie, its hilarious

[mild seal]

Like I watched nosferatu without knowing about the original movie and how it was changed from the book to work for German audiences

[modern lichen]

but yeah, you're not spoiling yourself to understand the intention of what you're watching beforehand, burnham intends this to come across as a meta special that has him construct a comedy special in isolation but the subtle narrative layer is that he is losing his mind due to the pandemic because of the anxiety issues he already had and took a break from standup and was getting ready to a point where he was able to return but the pandemic hit

[primal mason]

I sometimes look up context when it comes to anime/manga cause I love the mediums and wanna know the historical context, never really considered doing it for western media.

[modern lichen]

what's the point then

no offense but idk man it just seems lazy that theres any lack of actual effort put into thinking about why things came to be and how things were creatively thought of outside the confines of japanese media tbh

you're only limiting yourself in your approach imo

[mild seal]

Sometimes I'll go into something with no context and then look into it when I'm done to see anything that I've missed

[limber urchin]

Blue, I need you to watch Twin Peaks with zero context.

[modern lichen]

bro wouldnt understand with context either

[primal mason]

Extend my ban delay time limit.

[limber urchin]

It's a good test to get the brain thinking, that show I mean. It pushes your media analysis to its limit. Well, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just an idiot.

[mild seal]

I'm trying to think which movie made my brain work overtime analyzing it

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1E8 ||Damn, that was wild||

[modern lichen]

i saw your review of blade runner and only had to laugh because it doesnt engage with the common humanity and mystery of the topic, instead being hung up on the surface level "robot moral story"

[modern lichen]

primer for me

[mild seal]

Ok fuck primer

[modern lichen]

i love primer

[limber urchin]

I'm terrible at keeping up with film, so I'm not sure I've seen many movies that pushed my brain to work overtime.

[mild seal]

It's a great movie

But fuck primer

Lmao

[primal mason]

With Western movies, it used to be a strong habit of mine to watch all the behind the scenes content after watching. But that habit was preventing me from watching more movies because I'd have to think about how much time I'd spend on BTS stuff. So I just stopped. Now I'm watching more movies I love without stressing myself on that and I like the Western movie medium more.

[modern lichen]

shane carruth is garbage piece of shit but both his films are so good

[limber urchin]

Blue, have you seen Starship Troopers or RoboCop? I'm curious what you'd think of those films.

[modern lichen]

i'd love to see blue's thoughts on starship troopers

[primal mason]

I got Robocop on my HBO Max watch list.

[modern lichen]

have you read the book, buffy

[limber urchin]

RoboCop is my favorite film.

No, sadly I'm unaware there was a book.

[mild seal]

I recently rewatched it

[modern lichen]

its a libertarian manifesto

[limber urchin]

But now I need to see. Does it hold onto some of the commentary that Verhoven's film did?

[mild seal]

Starship troopers I mean

[modern lichen]

the movie isnt interested in adapting the book at all lol

[limber urchin]

oh lol

but it's good?

[modern lichen]

the book? oh its meh

as i said, libertarian manifesto, its not subtle about it

[limber urchin]

man, hearing the words "libertarian manifesto" sounds like a nightmare for me lmao

but I've met annoying libertarians

[modern lichen]

all libertarians are annoying

borderline evil even

[mild seal]

[limber urchin]

I've got so many books on the backburner to read now. I have to catch up to Stormlight before I do anything else. I'm almost done with book 2.

[mild seal]

Dude I had this thought after watching who framed Roger rabbit and then watching a more recent film

[limber urchin]

And then slowly I"m going to dive back in to finish Dune and The Accursed Kings series

[mild seal]

Sound design in movie scenes sucks compared to the past

Not every moment needs a score

[limber urchin]

Do you think it's overuse of music or something?

[mild seal]

Yes

[limber urchin]

ah ok you answered it haha

[modern lichen]

Films need more silence for sure

[limber urchin]

I do sometimes wonder if it's just false memory or if films of the past did rely more on silence. It feels that way at least.

[modern lichen]

I’m seeing many more films now willing to adopt silence

Nah, silence and the lack of sound is an excellent mechanic that’s been used in many modern films too

[mild seal]

Yeah it's still used but not as much

[limber urchin]

Yeah, I finally saw Citizen Kane last year or so, and it felt like there might have been a bit more silence. Same thing with Young Frankenstein, which I saw right before it.

[mild seal]

But it's not even a lack of sound, it's that they use music to tell you how a scene is supposed to be

[limber urchin]

Though Blade Runner is a good example of just letting a score help carry a film (obviously, it's a great film all on its own, but part of its identity to me is the music).

[mild seal]

Like if something big was just discovered they'll play some super dramatic score that makes you feel like shit just got serious

Sometimes you don't need that

Simple sfx from the surroundings work

[limber urchin]

Could it be the filmmaker(s) might not trust the audience to stay tuned in, or is it simply what the average director does?

[modern lichen]

I love foley used well in films

[mild seal]

Idk what it is buffy

[mild seal]

Nosferatu used it well

[limber urchin]

God, Nosferatu was so good. I need to own it.

[proud fiber]

i realized recently its kind of because the way theaters and audiences are nowadays

(the hesitance to have moments of silence, i mean)

I was watching whisper of the heart in theaters last year, and the ambience would constantly be destroyed by booming and crashing from other screening rooms

So on a physical level, really loud movies, the status quo, kind of make it impossible for quiet and meditative films to exist in the same place

[mild seal]

never thought about that tbh

[proud fiber]

because the theater doesnt care about decent soundproofing ig

and since loud movies make the most money

But other than that, watching Whisper of the heart was the most audience engagement ive felt at a big theater chain. Probably because it was a film festival type thing, but still

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S1 E9/S1 END ||Holy shit, I'm sweating so much after that 😭||

[leaden depot]

Andrei Rublev (1966)

[main lion]

severance ep 1 ||irl friend convinced me to try this. Interesting concept, but mark's sister's friend group/husband feel really phony as individuals. Maybe thats by design but if its not, it'd be nice if there were at least "normal" people on the outside lol||

[primal mason]

you guys are watching this on Apple TV right?

[young compass]

no

[primal mason]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-straight-to-jail-arrested-driven-to-tears-season-4-gif-4073450576709134781

jk

but i was curious

[young compass]

in 6 months ur gonna start reporting us to discord

[main lion]

first episode was on amazon prime but the rest is on apple tv ig lol

time to 🏴‍☠️

[primal mason]

weeeeird

at least use a free trial

[main lion]

sorry Ill be kind to our corporate overlords

[primal mason]

all them electronic outlets give them out for free

[main lion]

cause they have our best interests in their hearts

[primal mason]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-memes-memes2022funny-meme-face-punch-gif-25436787

[main lion]

apple certainly needs my money

meanwhile you read all your manga on mangadex

even when official scans exist...

[sage remnant]

You certainly give them as an iPhone user...

[main lion]

I bought my first phone in like 10+ years a year ago

I had an iphone 6

then my cousin's handmedown iphone 7

[sage remnant]

My statement's still true...

[main lion]

ill give it to google instead then

[rich meadow]

Damn, blue is really the meme

[sage remnant]

Tho since I have a Netflix now, I can see why people use it to pirating

Just more convenient for binging

[rich meadow]

I do wish severance was on Netflix or something tho tbf. I kind of want to watch it and probably would if it was on a streaming service I already owned

[main lion]

pirate it

[sage remnant]

Sadly Apple has more good shows nowadays

Severence, Silo

Foundation too to some extent

[rich meadow]

😦

I’ve completely gone off prime now that they want me to pay another $3 a month for no ads

😤

[main lion]

oh is that why my amazon keeps resetting every 10 minutes and turning off subtitles after a short black screen?

I think my adblock is catching the ads

[sage remnant]

[main lion]

and it fucks with the subtitles settings after it goes back to the video

[rich meadow]

Yeah it’s definitely that

[primal mason]

not really defending, it's just easy to stream legally

I plan to do Apple TV trial eventually, cause now Severance is getting all that hype

I wanna watch the Tetris movie there too

there's a video game development series I watchlisted there too

so there's use to using the service eventually

[white smelt]

I notice you don’t reply to this blue

[primal mason]

I read on MangaPlus and VIZ manga when I can

[main lion]

what about the others? 🙂

[young compass]

I don't think you can say something you have to pay for every month is easy without knowing someone's situation

[primal mason]

just talking free trials

[young compass]

ok i used my free trial, now what?

i want to watch sneaky pete but it ran out after watching severance

[modern lichen]

Oh nice you started it! It’s a dope show, have fun

[sage sleet]

Only reason I have any streaming services is ig convenience and I like watching things on tv

Streaming services are ass tho always taking shit away

[arctic flax]

i only watch stuff on my laptop so no point in streaming services for me

tho i do like hulu mostly for the anime with english dub with captions that pirating sites dont have

[boreal vale]

Invincible season 3 ||when is invincible (the person) going to stop sucking ass at everything||

[boreal vale]

Invincible season 3 episode 2 ||holy shit I feel like I'm being gaslit. 'no you CANNOT reform criminals!!!' like bro shut the fuck up||

Invincible season 3 e3 ||Also what the fuck is this recap bruh I don't care about these two nobodies from 3 seasons ago||

[boreal vale]

Invincible s3e3 ||no you can't kill people who just nuked a population center because... you just can't ok???!||

[modern lichen]

Do you like this show mushy

[dim hedge]

I can’t tell if its genuine criticism or joking

[boreal vale]

Invincible season 1 episode 1 ||I liked the ending of this episode and some other parts but I forgot most of them||

Invincible s3e3 ||I am not enjoying this season so far, everybody acting like a child is insane. Based Oliver for killing mauler twins, fucking insanity that 'just keep them in prison until they break out and commit terrible terrorist acts' is the correct answer to Mark and others. I know people say it's a character flaw but surely he's not that green to boil his morality down to 'killing is bad'||

[dim hedge]

Invincible s3e3 || its mark trying his best to go in the opposite direction of viltrumites, and even if the Maulers deserved to die (they did) Mark scolding Oliver for it was necessary because its still not a good path for him to go, Oliver is very impressionable so its not a good thing for him to be remorselessly killing at that age, he’s already starting to think Nolan’s methods were better so allowing him to continue could he setting him down a path of acting like a viltrumite which Mark wants to avoid ||

[dim hedge]

Invincible season 3 ep 2 || i also feel this was a silly thing to complain about because whatever your stance on Darkwing is its been like a couple months, its fair to not like the idea of him immediately being “redeemed” and Sinclair is just downright evil ||

[broken scarab]

Invincible S3 Ep. 2 ||I’d like to add that there’s a huge difference between rehabilitation and having him back on the field with a great deal of responsibility over civilians. Mark's problem wasn't just Darkwing II walking free; Cecil also lied to him. It's understandable for him not to trust the guy who covered up murders by a criminal he had collared; especially when Cecil's guarantee for Mark's worries is "trust me on this one.” Cecil’s solution with the reanimen was good, but you cannot blame Mark for protesting it after what those things did to himself and both of his friends. He’s valid for feeling like Sinclair was rewarded for his crimes.||

[dim hedge]

Yeah

[limber urchin]

Words of Radiance, Chapter 73-74 ||❤️❤️ ❤️ Brandon finally gave me what I wanted: time alone for Shallan and Kaladin. And it was everything I could've hoped for. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ I'm a sucker for romance in the media I consume, and seeing these two do the classic "enemies to lovers" trope in real time (yes, I know nothing is official yet and maybe Brandon won't do it) makes my heart soar. Reading as they experience the Stormfather together while pouring their hearts out about the hell they've both experienced in life was the cherry on top. I couldn't have asked for anything more. My only fear is Brandon will take the fact Kaladin killed Shallan's brother as a way to invoke the "romcom fallout moment" that will make them enemies again - I'm hoping to avoid this, as I've grown a bit tired of it, but it could be because my wife loves romcoms and I see this shit all the time. If he does make them romantically invovled, I'm curious if he will have Alodin die at Eshonai's hands when she and her people invoke a storm in the coming fight Dalinar is planning.||

[modern lichen]

dont open buffy, stormlight latest ||meanwhile, adolin and shallan get together lol||

[uncut yarrow]

@modern lichen did u enjoy stormlight 5

[modern lichen]

i didnt read it yet lol

i have to read 4 first haha

[uncut yarrow]

oh I see lol, I started 4 the other day

[modern lichen]

planning for that this year, perhaps near the end

[uncut yarrow]

nice

I had to google some shit because I forgot a lot lol

[modern lichen]

i had to check coppermind as well yeah

just to remember what happened in oathbringer lol

[limber urchin]

After Stormlight, what would be the next epic fantasy I should tackle? I know I need to pick up where I left with Name of the Wind, but it's been so long I'll have to start over and I don't even know if that's considered epic fantasy or not.

[modern lichen]

its not worth it with rothfuss

have you read earthsea?

its not as complex but its genuinely a cornerstone of fantasy and a joy to read

[limber urchin]

I'll look into Earthsea then. I heard Rothfuss doesn't finish his books, is that true?

[modern lichen]

yeah

i dont find his books particularly compelling in terms of narrative even

but the prose, the actual writing, is great

he's got a way with words, thats for sure

[limber urchin]

ah darn, that's sad to hear. I know there's some famous book series that's like 20 books or something but that might be too big for me after Stormlight

[modern lichen]

wheel of time i think you're referring to

[limber urchin]

And either way, Dune has to come first.

Ah, yeah, Wheel it might've been.

[modern lichen]

oh nice dune is really cool

its got fairly standard writing but the ideas and the way the story is telegraphed is really cool

[limber urchin]

I'm about 100 pages into it. I like it, the only thing that throws me off is he likes to use colons sometimes to start dialogue or something like that.

[modern lichen]

yeah, also a lot of internal monologuing and changing thoughts to another character MID THOUGHT of the former character

its insane

[sage remnant]

How are you with grimdark

[limber urchin]

I'm not sure if I've ever read it, but since I liked Empire of the Vampire and Empire of the Damned, does that count? I mean, I love works like Berserk and A Song of Ice and Fire, so I guess I'll be fine with it.

[sage remnant]

I would recommend The Black Company then

[limber urchin]

Thank youuuu

it's a book series, right? 'cause that's what I'm looking for.

[sage remnant]

Ye. There are 9 books so far across a trilogy, a duology and a 4-book one

[limber urchin]

jesus

[uncut yarrow]

can you send that link for Oathbringer specifically ? I don't want to get spoiled

[limber harbor]

Holy shit

Invincible latest episode ||i can understand the reasoning for Mark and Cecil’s conflict but it feels more forced than anything and I can’t put my finger on why despite the conflict making somewhat logical sense ||

In Vinceble latest ep continued || it feels like the writing quality of this season feels dramatically worse than season 1, even season 2 did, but for some reason this season feels more like an appeal to drama than anything sensical||

Invincible latest ||I feel like a hater for like every show I watch. I don’t think there’s any content I consume where I don’t have a bunch of criticisms. I need to relax .||

[limber harbor]

Invincible latest episode || Oliver’s character feels forced, all his morality should be based in things that he learned from his time in earth, dude was an infant when he left his real mother, he should have similar values to her or maybe he’s just a psychopath||

But then again

Invincible and Batman (general ideology) spoilers latest episode || I like the take of a child being blessed with crazy fucking powers thinking it’s absolutely insane when heroes don’t kill villains, it was something I couldn’t quite get a grasp on when I was younger, I used to have some beef with Batman over this||

Sorry for the small paragraphs just caught up yesterday and want to keep these things fresh in my mind

[cursive venture]

Latest episode of Severance went crazy man…

[dim hedge]

...man

[limber harbor]

Is it good

[cursive venture]

The episode or the show overall

[limber harbor]

I’ve seen it spread all over this chat

[cursive venture]

Ah

[limber harbor]

But no where outside it

[cursive venture]

Yeah it’s worth it. Definitely a slower pace but it’s good at setting up mysteries/payoff is satisfying. Characters are fun, concepts in the show are interesting, and visuals are great

It’s starting to blow up a little more online

[limber harbor]

It hasn’t made it to my TikTok yet so it’s clearly not popular enough

[cursive venture]

Lol it’s been on mine

[limber harbor]

Thank goodness it isn’t I literally got spoiled for the invincible episodes before I even knew the season was out

No matter how many “not interested” I clicked it didn’t help

[cursive venture]

Worth a watch! Only 4 eps into season two rn and new eps drop on Friday

[primal mason]

I'm gonna watch Still Alice movie

[smoky spindle]

The Sopranos S3 E2 ||Livia looks so weird this episode and the fact there are a ton of shots from the back made me think, I checked and I think I'm right: is it possible that the actress who interpreted Livia passed away and therefore they had to cut out scenes of her from previous episodes and take a ton of shots from the back so they could use an actress in a wig to cover the fact that the actress wasn't there anymore?||

||she looks so spooky whenever they shoot her from the front||

||yeah the dialogue is also weird, they definitely took bits and pieces of other dialogues of hers and edited them up||

@white smelt do you happen to know?

[smoky spindle]

The Sopranos S3 E2 ||I thought we got rid of Janice finally but apparently she's back for fuck sake||

[boreal vale]

Invincible s3e3 ||idk much about batman but I understand the no killing thing is a central theme or whatever. I think it is really strange how much he admires Nolan out of nowhere, and how he just does not listen to Mark and mother character like 30 times in a row, I suppose that's because they don't give him a good reason not to act up. Unlike ever single other character Oliver doesn't eat fucking shit every time he goes out in the field so he doesn't learn his lesson the hard way||

[limber harbor]

Invincible latest episode ||yeah this line of thinking feels like it comes from nowhere? Maybe the kid got into some red pill Reddit posts justifying Omni man or something but why is he so chill with this? From what Debbie and Cecil’s plant taught him he should be more adverse. ||

[boreal vale]

Invincible s3e3 ||but almost everyone agrees with him, including the people who were trapped underground. Mark and Eve ate shit to a centipede and they got saved by dark wing and cyborg things. I literally thought Mark's resistance was because he felt cucked that he lost because that makes more sense than making a slave out of Sinclair and reforming/reprogramming dark wing (which Mark has no reason not to believe happened, as Dark wing was nothing but nice to him in this encounter). I understand Mark being annoyed he wasn't told about it but they should've had a real conversation about it first, instead of Mark being a stroppy teen. ||

[limber harbor]

Invincible latest episode ||you’re right Mushy, I couldn’t quite explain why I disliked the conflict between Mark and Cecil and you’ve explained it perfectly, it feels more manafsctured than anything, and Mark almost feels out of character?||

[smoky spindle]

nvm yeah I checked

[limber harbor]

Invincible latest contd. ||Mark just feels really immature, which is understandable to an extent, but when they were in the white room and he was fighting the robots in like?! Calm the fuck down, he’s so irrational that it comes to the point where Cecil actually has a point ||

[boreal vale]

Invincible s3e3 ||if he actually did hear Cecil out about their reprogramming (which invokes brainwashing to me, so like, can you even say it was those two who got released?) and still disagreed I'd have less of a problem but he went straight for damaging government property and threatening Cecil. Talking to whatever the boyfriend's name was about Sinclair after Mark and every other US-based hero nearly died because they fucking suck and got saved by the cyborgs and Dark wing and acting like it's a bad thing is just ridiculous. If Cecil was paying him with a condo in the Bahamas and a 5 star chef I could understand him being upset, but the only thing we hear is him having a bigger lab. I really think if Mark just grew up a little and heard Cecil out the thing would've been resolved, but a show has to happen so here we are now||

Invincible s3e3 ||also I'm sick of every superhero fucking just being terrible at their job. I literally don't recall a fight where somebody doesn't get beaten to a bloody pulp and almost dies||

[dim hedge]

Invincible s3e3 || the issue is neither faced actual consequences, Darkwing was only taken in like a few months ago and is immediately allowed to join the guardians and Sinclair gets to do what he wants with better funding, you can’t blame mark for not liking the idea of them being pardoned and used by the government and the fact Cecil kept everything a secret ||

[limber harbor]

Invincible latest episode ||I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Mark not liking it, I think the problem comes when he goes completely ape shit and unreasonable about it, in a world where the last Viltriumite is a mass murdering psycho you’d think he’d have more tact at what his anger could represent, they could have talked it over more and if Mark didn’t like it he could leave Cecil, but Mark just acts way too insane for me here||

[dim hedge]

Invincible latest || Marks still young and going through a rough time rn, its silly to think he should act rational after having Cecil pull shit behind his back ||

[limber harbor]

In my opinion

Invincible s3 e3 ||I think due to the tough time he’s going through it makes all the more sense why he’d think to be more rational about this, he knows what his father just did and he’s been trying his best the entirety of season 2 to prove to Cecil and everyone else that he’s not like his father||

[boreal vale]

Invincible s3e3 ||a few months is a long time, and he's allowed to join after multiple field missions where he saves everyone's ass. Mark being upset about being lied to is fine (although he gets over it with his mum pretty fast) but he doesn't have the sense to talk about it. Also the new teen team's tantrum is also silly. Ray being upset that Cecil attacked Invincible when Omniman happened and not trusting Cecil is a bit silly. It's the sort of thing where if they talked about it (without being sooks) it could be resolved so quickly||

But that latter point isn't so much in response to you

Invincible s3e3 ||also duplicate saying she was in just as real danger as anyone else and not being called out on it lol kill me now. Not only do I not buy that she's that fucking dumb as to say that, everyone is that room should've rolled their eyes||

[primal mason]

Finished Still Alice ||I have problems with memory loss. What Alice is going through is so accurate to I've what gone through and it's so painful to watch. The actor portrayed it fantastically and I was moved by her determination to fight her disease, despite her deterioration. Powerful film, it had my attention the whole way through. ||

[primal mason]

I'm thinking of watching the Hilda cartoon tomorrow, I heard the writing of this one was really really good.

[wary gulch]

Dexter Original Sin Ep6 ||I wasn’t expecting this show to be much when I first started it as a prequel but it turned out to be much better than I thought it would be, really cool to see how dexter slowly evolves into what he is in the main series||

[unkempt agate]

hobbit an unexpected journey || i like this movie but why is the soundtrack just the same song orchestrated differently continously ||

[dim hedge]

The Sopranos S3 E2 || Yes, her actress died and they used CGI for her head while another actress played her as a double||

[smoky spindle]

Thank you

[broken scarab]

Invincible S3 Ep.3 ||The point of the whole ordeal is that Mark feels like he can’t trust Cecil anymore. There’s nothing to “hear Cecil out” about because he’ll never tell Mark anything, and there’s no reason for Mark to trust him; that’s why he tried shooing Mark away with a bad comparison of him and the two; he tried getting him back in line, just like he did in S2 by comparing Mark to Nolan. Damaging the Reanimen is an emotional response to seeing the things that almost got him and his friends killed restrain him; he also feels like Cecil’s being unjust by fearing him when he’s working with criminals, especially after all he did for him and the planet. Complaining about the scene with Rick and William, to me, is ridiculous; it’s what makes us understand where Mark is coming from regarding the Reanimen; Rick, the victim, is mentally damaged by what Sinclair did to him, and the latter was seemingly rewarded for his crimes.||

[broken scarab]

Invincible S3 EP. 3 ||The Guardians leaving makes perfect sense. They see their friend and fellow superhero suffering from an implant their handler planted in him in case he’s deemed too dangerous or their paths are opposed. Obviously, the first thing they’ll think of is “could this happen to me?” Monster Girl verbalizes it too: “We’re weapons, like his tanks and guns.” That’s why they leave. It’s also no coincidence that only the young superheroes leave; Cecil hasn’t gained their trust, and they’re apprehensive about continuing to work with him (except for Robot.)||

[boreal vale]

Invincible s3e3 ||I really don't think its a being lied to sort of thing. I think its Mark and Cecil irreconcilably disagreeing on the use of past villains for good. Throughout the season so far that's the main thing he's upset about, and everyone else similarly disagrees with Cecil's objectification of heroes and villains alike. Damaging the reanimen was a consequence of Mark continuously threatening Cecil, Mark was absolutely the aggressor in that encounter, and that's where they should've just spoken instead of fighting. Mark made it absolutely clear he wasn't willing to listen, and really if he had his way he'd just go and arrest Sinclair and Darkwing again. When Cecil mentions the two he says they've been reprogrammed, which makes it sound like they've been brainwashed. I'd really hardly call that a reward.

The complaint the heroes have about Cecil not trusting them is really close minded when Omniman happened like 2 years ago or whatever. They're upset that the person who is in charge of saving the Earth will attack them if they threaten the Earth. If you want to say they're just immature, fine, but I don't like watching a bunch of kids throwing a tantrum.

And really my main issue is that all the heroes fucking suck, and they've sucked for the entire series. Invincible and Atom Eve lost to bugs, so when Mark gets upset about reanamen and Darkwing II, I have to ask, what would he have prefered? That everyone just dies? Or that Atom Eve frees everyone and in a best case scenario they escape with heavy casualties? At least then he can stick to his strong principles, that criminals can't be punished or reformed.||

[primal mason]

Oh... I can tell easily that I'm gonna really like Hilda. Very interesting premise going on.

[broken scarab]

Invincible S3 EP. 3 ||Yes, Mark’s views on good and bad are very reductive; which stems from his guilt-by-association with Nolan, he takes the opposite stance on killing and is worrisome about giving criminals government contracts, but his distrust of Cecil, and really, the catalyst to what was then to follow, is Cecil whitewashing or completely covering up crimes; that’s why Cecil’s guarantee wasn’t enough. Do you think things would have gone down similarly if Cecil were honest with Mark about what’s happening to the criminals he’s bringing in? I’d think not. Mark would’ve disagreed, and they’d definitely have an argument about it, but it wouldn’t snowball to what we ended up getting. Mark did not threaten Cecil before the Reanimen were in the picture; the cause for his fighting was the Reanimen trying to restrain him; which he justifiably found ridiculous considering who Cecil associates himself with. And again, Mark had reason to doubt Cecil’s claims of reprogramming them as he had just found out he deceived him throughout their entire working relationship. (Not to mention that, at least when it comes to Sinclair, Cecil was probably lying. Pictures attached show him working with the government immediately after his arrest and mass producing Reanimen shortly after Omni-Man’s escape.)

I didn’t say Cecil doesn’t trust them, I am saying they don’t trust Cecil; it’s a moral dilemma, and we’re meant to quarrel over it. It’s understandable for Cecil to have contingency plans in case Mark goes wild. But it also makes sense for people in the same shoes as Mark to fear the implications of such plans on themselves. They’re not immature, they’re inexperienced and hadn’t built rapport with Cecil.||

Invincible S3 EP. 3 ||Criticizing Mark’s views on killing, and good and evil, is absolutely justified though, but it’s not the story gaslighting you like you said. We see Mark being hypocritical with Oliver, and previously on Thraxa. And we see Cecil being understanding of what happened with the Maulers||

[shadow sequoia]

Severance S2E1 ||You can tell that they got a bigger budget lol||

Severance S2E1 ||That opening sequence was sick af, wonder how they did that camerawork||

Invincible comics ||GDA intel is out, we’re getting King Immortal next episode|| @dim hedge

[limber harbor]

Anyone that’s read the invincible comics are they worth reading?

I’ve been contemplating reading them because the invincible fandom is getting worse with spoilers recently

[modern lichen]

i'm not a huge fan of the comic but yeah, i think its worth a read

[limber harbor]

Would you say it’s up to the quality of the tv show?

[modern lichen]

havent watched the show but i think the comic is better yes

[limber harbor]

Oh you read the comics before watching the show? I didn’t know people like that existed

[modern lichen]

simply by the process of elimination lol

i read the comic yeah

[limber harbor]

I never even heard of invincible until the show

[shadow sequoia]

It's alright

[modern lichen]

its a pretty popular comic

[shadow sequoia]

There's like a few really good moments

[modern lichen]

yeah its ok, i'm not particularly enamored by the story, i prefer kirkman's other work

[limber harbor]

Well I guess also I don’t think I’ve ever read a comic book

[shadow sequoia]

My thoughts exactly

[limber harbor]

Thanks pal

[past panther]

@carmine kernel was banned!

Reason: scam

[limber harbor]

Not my goat 💔

[fickle ember]

If you read skip issue 0

The show is modernized so there’s enough differences that you could read and watch while still enjoying both mediums

[limber harbor]

Is there a single thing you haven’t read

[modern lichen]

omni is the only one here who has read as many comics as i have

if not more

[vapid radish]

Atom Eve special is next

[median nova]

invincible season 1 || my prediction is that that race of his, viltrum , will invade earth and mark will undergo training like ALOT especially w cecils help me thinks, maybe he can cooperste w eve too and rest of supes ||

[vapid radish]

Invincible issue 12 ||This is legit one of my favorite moments in the show, Mark still loves his father (the man he grew up with for 17 years) and the arm shake here really shows that he's still struggling to accept that he had changed||

[median nova]

invincible issue 12 || i love how they adapted it well , one thing i notice abt fight is that the longer mark stays in fighting, the more lives ppl r losing, in a way its mark trying to be more human and making sacrifices to himself , i absolutely love mark ||

@limber urchin this movie

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0100944/

Fuck this movie

Whoever thought this was a PG movie needs to die

[limber urchin]

Strange. I think I've seen this poster before, but never the movie.

[limber urchin]

It may have been in the years before PG-13 was established so "PG as in Parental Guidance" was more serious.

[mild seal]

Pg 13 was introduced in the mid 80s

[limber urchin]

Ah and this was a 90s film, interesting.

[mild seal]

Apparently it's also a Roald Dahl book

[limber harbor]

Rewatching Korra with friends and Korra book 4 episode 5 and last air bender series ||why is she so incompetent? Like I understand after everything she goes through, after her being dumb as rocks against unalaq but the way she handles the Kuvira thing is just so dumb, she has like 0 negotiation skills or self awareness, I try not to compare her Aang but the kid was 12 and could reason better than she could. Korra: take your army and leave Zaofu Kuvira: No. Korra: Ok. And that was one of their convos before Kuvira manipulates her into trying to convince Su to submit to Kuvira. I know Korra hate is a meme but she is just so horrible at her job||

Korra season 4+ ||I wish I could write an essay on how much bolín sucks, the dude is a shitty comic relief character that’s just a complete moron and beings nothing interesting to the story, him learning lava bending is whatever to me and the entire thing with him being basically forced into an relationship and borderline being SA’d by Edna is fucking weird and idk why they allowed that into the series and played it as comedy relief. Mako and Asami are cool tho. ||

Dunno if it counts as a western series, but had any of you heard Epic the Musical? Is really good and especially if you hear it while watching one of the many animations people make of it on youtube.

Loved it, listened to it from start to finish

Sad it's finally fully complete but it was about the journey, not the destination

[stark grove]

Agreed. It was majestic

[regal root]

I loved how often Jorge found ways to reuse character/previous song motifs throughout

Especially Just A Man

I'm still not 100% sure what caused Jorge to completely re-record the first 2 sagas but I prefer the original versions better

[dim hedge]

EPIC

[scenic terrace]

Invincible s3 ep 3 ||Mark in season 1 might be more powerful than s3 mark cause wtf is this shit||

[limber harbor]

Invincible s3 episode 3 || first scene: Mark training montage. “He’s 138% stronger!!!!!!Halfway into next episode: Mark getting his ass kicked like usual.||

Invincible season 3 episode 3 ||not even really just mark all the superheroes constantly and I mean constantly just get their asses kicked.||

[dim hedge]

Still 2 more sagas

[scenic terrace]

Invincible s3 episode 3 ||Bro lost to a big bug 😭 and apparently he can beat that female viltrumite. If I don’t see Cecil breeding these centipedes, I’m calling bullshit ||

[regal root]

Oh you finished Wisdom?

[dim hedge]

Yeah

[regal root]

The ending of Love in Paradise crushed me

Jay went ham belting out that yell

[dim hedge]

Every song is simply too good

Epic wisdom saga || little wolf was probably my favourite song here, it or legendary ||

[regal root]

I love how similar Mico's voice is to Jay's. Obviously they're in a similar age range but you could realistically believe he's playing his son

Epic wisdom saga ||Also fun fact, this is the guy who voiced Apollo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_McInnis ||

Jay the mad lad actually got a profession English VA to sing a short part in his song

[dim hedge]

I gotta learn who voiced everyone because i wanna appreciate their vocals more

[modern lichen]

Yeah it was announced a while ago

[unkempt agate]

the hobbit 2013 || legolas is such a stern killing machine compared to in lotr LMAO ||

|| looked up why, apparently he isn't even in the hobbit books I'm a shameless consumer though, not a purist, so ill enjoy it ||

the hobbit 2013 also ^

[mild seal]

the hobbit came out in 2013???

why does that make me feel older than the lotr coming out when I was in high school

[unkempt agate]

yeah the 3 movies came out in 2012,2013 and 2014

also surprised me tbh

felt older to me

its my first time watching them

[mild seal]

I guess I've blocked out a lot of my life between 2013-2017

[modern lichen]

@mild seal did you finish watching the episode

[mild seal]

no lmao

I got to the break and stopped for the night

[modern lichen]

Where you at

Man that whole first part is just so epic

[mild seal]

cr c3 end ||after the matron tells vax and the bunny paladin that she's gonna become mortal and shit||

[modern lichen]

CR C3 ending || the Hells going into Vasselheim’s city center and giving the Marshalls there the taste of their own aloofness was awesome, but my favorite part was Matt’s description of the council of Gods and the ritual, it’s just such insane epic cosmic imagery. My boy Ashton started off falling and not being picked up and left behind but now he’s picked up and the BH fight to save him it’s so good, so poetic ||

[mild seal]

cr c3 ending ||dude that clutch nat 20 from laura to get all the gods to become mortals was wild to see||

[modern lichen]

CR C3 ending ||these goobers started the campaign with fighting furniture, imogen started off with her first roll being a failed persuation check, to now them fighting a level 20 wizard who's been alive for centuries and a god eater, to convincing the gods themselves, bells hells is an insane party||

[spiral quest]

I've taken to collecting western comics

It's been cool, I got Spider-Man 2099 for like 80 bucks and it's sick

[modern lichen]

that's awesome

[dim hedge]

[spiral quest]

It's the biggest book of comics I've ever held

The thing is 5lbs

Western comics aren't as difficult as I thought they were gonna be to get into either. Been loving stuff from superheros to non

[modern lichen]

yeah, i think some people just exaggerate

[white smelt]

It’s difficult in that they’ll be a run you like and then it ends and a new team takes over and ruins the characterization

But if you treat everything as its own thing it’s not that bad

[modern lichen]

most of the time, quite a few people limit themselves to superheroes and that complicated "tangle" but i think even there, checking out individual runs and just vibing is the way to go

outside that, there are so many comics and graphic novels that all have a definite start and a definite end without any need for further reading

[white smelt]

It’s hard because they made events a yearly thing that every title has to tie into

At least on marvel side

So I dropped it for like ten years

Idk how it is now but that was such a chore

[spiral quest]

I am like

Being choosy in a way

I know there are events but so far I've just kinda been watching youtube vids and reddit recs to start

I have a good amount of Batman, Spider-Man, Daredevil

Got some Fantastic Four, working on others

Review Buffy

What were your top moments

And what is your list of favorite characters

[limber urchin]

This one is quite a bit harder to choose top moments, because as it gets further in Words of Radiance ||it gets a bit more complex and I started second guessing if I had already been givien certain information by Brandon and simply forgot.||

So, uh, it will take time to think of top moments for me.

Ah okay

[modern lichen]

when they made the first video about consent and assault as a general topic, they didnt even mention him but he sent a very poorly worded cease and desist to them

and then he went on a break

closed down everything for a bit

for "mental health reasons"

[sage remnant]

Ye. It was like 2 months or smth last year.
Dude was probably preparing for this ig

So that makes it more damning

[modern lichen]

there's hard evidence here, he's not going off easy

[sage remnant]

I need to spend a lot of time next few days to archive discussions from the server. Couldn't care less about his content but I had great convo in the server with good people.

[modern lichen]

naomi has a panic attack at the end of the video and its so fucking hard to continue from that point, i turned it off

[sage remnant]

Unless the server is able to rebrand and get away from Daniel's name. Which I don't think he will

[brave orbit]

I still havent recovered from the Neil Gaiman stuff
