Did you know he’s still alive

near echo
#

Halfway through the movie

Jurassic World Rebirth ||this is shallow and I don't care about a single character in it but this movie is benefiting a LOT from abandoning all the previous films and just being its own independent story. So much less baggage, can just take it at face value instead of having Spielberg's films dangled in front of me constantly like shiny keys||

#

If this franchise is gonna keep going and rotting it's better for it to drop the pretention that it's based on a novel cuz we're so far removed from it at this point it's not worth the lip service

near echo
#

Jurassic world rebirth ||can big pharma dude die already I'm sick of his crap||

#

Jurassic World Rebirth ||at this point the moral of these films is that sauropods are the only ones that are chill and we should protect em at all costs, fuck the rest||

He said he was 92 still teaching

He died in ‘59??

Maybe it wasn’t loomis. Is there other really well known foundational artists?

Gonna be seeing a bunch of folks finally get into lantern stuff

All most people have is seeing him badly written in dc animated movies

#

And memes

frank rivet
#

did they ever mention what its rated?

#

is it the same rating as peacemaker

foggy mirage
#

So basically yeah same rating as peacemaker

#

So they can do crazy shit

#

Kind of needed for lantern stories

Yeah you don’t need the mature rating for lanterns but this specific one is apparently pretty serious in tone and has some heavy stuff

He’s talking about de-aging tech, which has already been used extensively by people like Scorsese and Tim Burton and David Fincher. At no point in this piece does he utter the term “A.I.”

Damn

#

Leto is really Hollywood's beloved, huh

worthy crypt
#

How does high profile acting even work. I'm skeptical they're just auditioning everyone and picking the best performance of a snippet of the role or whatever I'd think there's lots of other factors beyond that

#

Like did a bunch of high tier actors just read in front of people and leto was the most compelling tron?

near echo
#

Sometimes with all star actors they'll just send the scripts to their agents and ask if they're willing to take the part

#

They're scouting them for their name specifically without an audition process

sometimes roles are written for specific actors as well

That's probably how Leto gets shit dude just gets nepo phone calls

Had only seen the remake

And I got him to watch Evil Dead II with us

And the tonal dissonance between the two confused the shit out of him

He adored evil dead ii actually

The Name of the Wind - I've finished it, 7/10 ||It took me a long time to come around to this novel. It happened right when Kvothe was trying to get his pipes
because it finally introduced a real goal for the main character: Denna. They compliment each other quite well. However, until that point, I found the book
to be a meandering slog a good chunk of time. I could completely do without the entire Tarbean arc, I found it boring. Most of the characters feel
like a secondary thought aside from Denna and Kvothe who feels far more fleshed out by comparison. Even Kvothe borders on what might be a self-insert for the writer, or
just a teen power fantasy. The magic was fine, I didn't think too much of it. The drama with Abrose didn't feel like it had much depth or didn't get explored in
a more interesting way. Honestly, the book, as I've stated before, is ultimately a less interesting Harry Potter. It is almost entirely saved by the second
half, but even then it has its own meandering problem with Kvothe and Denna going on their long journey to slay a "dragon." As a final note, I'm pretty sure this
novel is supposed to be viewed as if an over confident teen is writing it, otherwise the way girls are explored/written in this story is questionable at best whenever Kvothe thinks about them - but I'll give Rothfuss the benefit of the doubt and assume it was all intentional since Kvothe is telling the story through his
own biased lens. I probably won't read the second book.||

sage remnant
#

Nice

#

also wouldn't you say some criticisms of Name of Wind would apply to Empire of the Vampire too

limber urchin
#

Maybe. But for reasons I can't explain I like Empire far more than Name of the Wind.

sage remnant
#

Yeah I get you. While both has like, some idk intended amateurishness(?) in some parts of their writing, both achieve different vibes

limber urchin
#

Empire can get edgelordy if that's what you mean. That much I highly agree with.

which is kinda result of || overconfident teen writing it || sorta style. NoTW/EotV

J.R.R./Christopher Tolkien -The Silmarillion and The Tale of Beren & Luthien: ||This is probably one of my favorite romances I’ve ever read not just in fantasy but in general.

prose in Frankenstein is very good

#

i still got like.. the final 10% but dragon republic || I like a lot how its not that simple. It could have been basic story of democratic crusaders overthrowing an evil empress. But vizra is kinda full of shit, rin isnt a perfect mary sue, it trades the war of the first book against cartoonishly evil invaders for a messy civil war. I like that in all things it kinda leans into more complexity and avoids simple caraciatures. ||

sage remnant

Also do you realize who Rin is inspired by irl

no i could definitely see some inspirations from japan/west ww2 but i didnt realize there was a real person for rin

Got infinitely more respect for artists who downscale their projects once they get old and do more intimate and personal works since they can do whatever they want than guys like them who try cutting every corner to keep doing major productions the way they always have

i do think its inevitable that it will have an increasing role in many areas as it gets better. But that doesnt mean every application is good. Postprocessing effects is one example where it seems pretty well suited. Replacing human actors probably not a good application for a long time

its not a fad thats gonna fade away and die, itll only get better over time and be used more widely as it gets better

wait i just read the sypnosis for it, this is genuinely so funny

#

welcome to derry || " The series’ set-up riffs on its source material in ways both big and small, complete with numerous references aimed at the King faithful (including nods to turtles, Shawshank prison, and Calumet Baking Powder) and the participation of The Shining’s Dick Hallorann (Chris Chalk), whose psychic gifts are being used by Shaw to locate a “weapon” buried somewhere in Derry.
Specifically, the U.S. military intends to capture Pennywise and sic him on the Russians and Cubans in order to prevent the forthcoming missile crisis and win the Cold War. To control the monster, which they barely understand, they must acquire the 13 “pillars”—rock shards from the “cage” in which it traveled to Earth millions of years ago—that have the power to contain it à la kryptonite, and whose whereabouts have been protected for centuries by a Native American population that’s acted as humanity’s selfless guardians.
Leroy is the apparent key to this covert scheme, because he’s suffered a brain injury that’s left him unable to feel fear.

For more modern: Definitely go with Double (detectives) ; OOOs (desire and greed); Fourze (space); Zero-One (artificial intelligence); Gaim (fruit), Ex-Aid (video games), Geats (desire), Amazons (survival), Drive (crime and justice), etcetera

For more classic: Kuuga (history); Decade (a journey); Ryuki (good and evil); 555 [Faiz] (humanity's struggle); Blade (humanity's morality); Kabuto (identity); Den-O (time manipulation), etcetera

My favorite is Kiva (horror). But! I do like the others that I've listed (and not listed), so...yeah.

Aaaaand yes, definitely watch GARO and its many intertwining series, if you get the chance as well!

power broker || shocked that i did feel a tiny bit bad for moses at the end. It definitely helps that the ultimate nepo baby, rockefeller's grandson, is the one who gets him in the end. And the author calls back to the early projects really did make public space to the expense of wealthy aristocrats. Maybe it was all a cynical ploy for power all along. And he did plenty of horrible shit when he was in power. But it did sometimes improve things for people. His highway obsession and ignorance of induced demand could make some of his later projects net negative its hard to argue against the fact that many of his projects did provide some public good||

# frank rivet Let me know how you felt, me personally it was perfect

Welcome to Derry - Episode 1 and IT Chapter 1 ||Overall, it was a solid first episode. Nice set ups for what's to come, especially with the military base. Bold ass decision to kill off three of the kids at the end! And the opening was fantastic and so visceral - a nice way to try and recreate the feeling of the sewer scene with Georgie, but still be its own thing. The one thing I genuinely hated were the undercover operatives trying to steal plans to the new plane, that felt like something out of some spy novel fan fiction and it had almost no redeeming value. I'm actually surprised we didn't get clown Pennywise in the first episode, but I assume they're saving him for now.||

Drawning of the three || him losing his fingers and king making it clear he would never get those back. And that beach shit show.||

Roland probably woulda been higher if the overall story didn't nose dive for me

Is it fair? Probably not

But I am just a dude and my conflicting feelings on Roland as a character and what happened with Dark Tower as a whole are often hard to separate

That is regrettable in your case but for me it all ended clicking.

Would suck for me if that happened

It's how it be

I still enjoy the books in dark tower that I do enjoy

I read this this year too but I recommend reading her other work before getting to this because they’re easier reads and familiar you to the style

She deserves it

#

By far the best performance in the movie

#

I wasn’t huge on some of the others

#

Rewatched Stand by Me with my sister in law

#

Still a 5 star film

#

Surprised how much she loved it too even though she's a Steven King diehard who's not pretty rough even on the Shining and it's pretty distinct from the King version

#

Also cuz she's like, not a boy and nearly the whole film is about boys going through puberty and acting like boys lol

#

Never read it but it seems kinda stupid

#

For Stand By Me, that is

modern lichen
#

Stand By Me and The Shining to me are the best king adaptations

#

The Shining especially because Kubrick didn’t give a flying fuck about the emotional narrative of the book

#

He thought it was heavy handed and didactic so he basically changed the entire thing

Intermezzo ||enjoying the thoughtfulness of this book so far but don’t really care for the sex scenes lol||

#

Intermezzo|| it’s one thing to have one or two and talk about how sex itself is an important dynamic in these relationships and what it says about the people themselves but I don’t really care to see it played out but maybe that’s just me being childish. I just don’t particularly like reading other people having sex because it feels awkward lol||

#

Movie is good but it doesn't resonate with me the same way.

#

Best King adaptation is shawshank for me anyways

#

The shining without that core doesnt hit the same for me

King is a fraud
