come and see is a war movie that's about a specific period of belarusian suffering

#

i like top gun maverick, even if its air force propoganda

valid thunder
#

I think they can be fun like top gun. Just pure action flicks

I didnt watch it

#

I don't really care much for it, the movies kinda bore me as is

Not to mention my dad is a former Navy man and I grew up with a lot of military media

however, i'm totally fine with being spoiled on something I never plan to see. but for Sinners, which I would like to see one day, I prefer going in as blind as I can outside whatever a trailer showed

#

I wanna watch Hamnet but I hate Paul Mescal smh... idk what to do with all this

modern lichen
#

Nice way for the film to gatekeep itself

worthy crypt
#

thats how i feel about chalemet and the ping pong movie

tawny parcel
white smelt
#

That’s how i feel about Tarantino

tawny parcel
#

Chalamet is an icon for us white boys

worthy crypt
#

nah but to be fair the only movies i seen of his were dune and wonka. But i didnt like him in either. And I was primed to enjoy both

#

so he carries my disappointment and missed expectations

modern lichen
#

Loved him in Dune

tawny parcel
#

Oh i cant say anything on wonka lol, but i thought he was good in dune

#

Really excited for marty supreme

modern lichen
#

But his performance in Beautiful Boy is incredible

tawny parcel
#

His energy in the trailers is great

modern lichen
#

He was the best part of the Dylan biopic

tawny parcel
#

Was the bob dylan biopic good

worthy crypt
#

yeah idk like i said my sample size is small but hes 0/2 in that sample

modern lichen
#

Also great in Little Women

#

Dude is a really good actor

#

So is Mescal

tawny parcel
#

Oh yea i think he was good in that but i fell asleep

#

Watching it

worthy crypt
#

tbh though how good could the movie have possibly been if you fell asleep

tawny parcel
#

It was really late so a slower movie wasn’t the best call

modern lichen

#

And it was a group watch

outer tulip
tawny parcel
#

I couldnt really tell you anyrhing that happened in little woman on second thought

modern lichen
#

Yeah he was good in that too

tawny parcel
#

I should rewatch it

modern lichen
#

I just read Hamnet this year and I really liked it so the movie being so good is really enticing to me

tawny parcel
#

All I know is that timothee was hot in that movie

outer tulip
#

that movies only in selective theaters anyway so it'll be hard for me to see in theaters

unless I go to one of those Drafthouses or something

#

The Penguin was not a slow noire movie so makes sense

white smelt
# main lion the batman is a 10/10 movie

It was good and I’ve seen it multiple times but it wasn’t that good (to me). Watch the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford and tell me what you think. That’s a 10/10 in my book

Curious to see what you’d think about it

@modern lichen m9 episode 5 was so great

@modern lichen @trim crown did you know Andy Serkis has narrated LoTR

modern lichen
#

Yep

sage remnant

didn't know that

#

so cool

trim crown
#

I had no idea

modern lichen
# sage remnant didn't know that

According to Sanderson, saw this in an interview he did, LOTR ||his voice for Tom Bombadil is great and he could get through that section with the audiobook because he finds that boring usually when reading||

sage remnant
#

lemme see if I can find it

#

lotr all

modern lichen
#

LMFAOOOO

#

No way bruh

sage remnant
#

a lot of people hate ||tom bombadil ||

#

this was the most fun I had seen with people's hate for a character QueenKEKW

modern lichen
#

I love that character but yeah it’s always hilarious

shrewd sigil
#

ive only consumed LOTR through the Phil dragash audiobook that had a pretty good voice for him and also used the Howard shore soundtrack, ||so the bombadil chapters were lovely||

#

makes sense though that they could be boring for someone who's only reading lmfao

copper phoenix
#

just watched the first episode of pluribus

#

this shit is right up my alley

sage remnant

ep 1 was sooo good

copper phoenix
#

I went in blind basically only knew it was starring rhea and made by bince

#

bravo bince

young compass
#

what the fuck happened in season four of the expanse

#

season three was already kind of bad but s4 is like a parody of the show

modern lichen
#

is it that bad

#

damn

#

gonna start watching "mussolini: son of century" tonight

young compass
#

just makes zero sense politically given what s1 and 2 were about

modern lichen
#

incredible, a clear point of a drop in quality is when a corporation comes into play

#

i watched only the first season

#

and i thought it was ok

sage remnant
#

a common criticism of the books too have been that it went for longer than it should have
but that's for like book 5-6, not 3 stuff

young compass
#

is each season just a book?

sage remnant
#

that's what I have heard yes

#

Haven't watched them or read them beyond first few chapters. Not the kind of story I look for in scifi

sage remnant
# young compass is each season just a book?

apparently

the first season covers about half the first book
second season is the rest of bk1 and half of book 2
third is the rest of book 2 and all of book 3
and the rest are a book a season

young compass
#

i should read the first two books then

#

why does every sci fi show or movie turn to shit after its initial concept gets explored and it has to make a statement beyond critique

sage remnant
#

that's why you read standalone novels

#

smaller length, they exhaust what they can of exploring the concept

young compass
#

i can only read so many musings on the same few things

#

i read and watch longer form with the hope that they'll get somewhere and make a productive political statement

#

if that's what they're going for

#

but they never do

#

they always falter

modern lichen

i dont think i liked it

finished the Diddy Doc.. it was actually really good

#

Idk if that documentary meant to do it, but they kind of made him look like the main character of hip hop

Id say hes one of the major players of hiphop tho

well it wasn't like Jesus, but like holy smokes I mean

He’s been saying stupid shit for a while now but the Dano comments were the last straw

Bro everyone is chiming in Lmfao

rich meadow
#

I mean, he’s an idiot for speaking that way about any actor tbh lol. It’s just going to make people less inclined to want to work with him. But then again, he hasn’t made a movie in like 40 years and if he does make a new one he’s just gonna use the same 3 actors

young compass
#

i dont think he cares

#

it's kind of funny that he even said it, idk lol. everyone is pearl clutching and obviously i disagree with what he said but i just enjoy people feeling brazen enough to say stuff like that lol

Looks to be another story narrated by Hoid, like Tress and Yumi. I enjoyed those, so I'm sure I will enjoy this one too KumaHappy

#

Also that cover art is quite nice Goroggers

sage remnant

I disliked Tress

and found it to be one of the worst writing Brandon has done. Cool story and characters tho

sage remnant

tell me if you want spoiler of which one

sand cypress

yes please do

Like for Tress I never said the parts you liked weren't good

#

While you said the parts I disliked are ones you don't pay attention to

sand cypress
#

Things that I can overlook without deterring my enjoyment, yeah

sage remnant
#

For me that's like Stormlight's prose and style of writing

#

The prose's not bad enough that it bothers me

#

It's not good enough to write home about

#

but it never distraxts me from the story like Tress did

foggy mirage

@modern lichen I din't know dano had support like that

are they gonna merge libraries or will they remain seperate things i wonder

Netflix boss Ted Sarandos was asked if they're destroying Hollywood

“No, we’re saving Hollywood"

"We’re in a period of transition. Folks grew up thinking, ‘I want to make movies on a gigantic screen and have strangers watch them ... [and have them] play in the theater for two months … It’s an outdated concept"

JinbePet that's been the ultimate goal. Their business is to avoid theatre

PriestessYouGetUsedToIt I've seen plenty of mergers go through. This will be one of them for sure. Probably some positives for some series being neglected. Most will probably be negative after the regulatory honeymoon ends and the cuts begin

ST s2e4 || More than just like looking into the Upside Down, it seems like sometimes he can coexist between the two? Like not just his consciousness moving there but his body too? Like half phased into that dimension sort? ||

|| Joyce and Hopper are probably my fav characters so far. Steve has possibility of having a good character arc if things go that direction ||

What’s ST?

Stranger things

Oh

I’m on season 1 episode 4

sage remnant

|| Did Will get into a symbiosis relationship with the shadowy upside down kaiju thingy || st s2 e4

#

|| God Yes it'd so satisfying to see people being Capable. Will's mom getting the idea to get Will to draw them rather than explain. Sooo gooooodddd ||

sage remnant
#

Oh wait now
ST s2 e4 || These scientists and their security and everything didn't even bother to check the bags for any kind of recording devices. Or run it through a metal detectors. Or just check the bag cuz like its what anyone would do??? Why were theey DUMB ||

#

|| Well, at least I didn't have to wait more than an episode to see Dart turn into that faceless predator. Idk how Dustin can save himself from it cuz this is now grown in world of living and not upside down and doesn't has like the shortcomings of the range from upside down gate of the previous thingy ||

#

ST s2 e4 || The stake really increased. Like idk, the entire Hawkins region or the state itself in is now dig with these vine like expanding tunnels which start from the Upside Down, from which the predators from that dimension can come here and spread even more rapidly and engulf the whole region in a catastrophic event? ||

#

I have a love hate relationship with this ep. Easily the strongest episode in some regards, like the emotional beats and the ||facility thing||, and like super weak in || like plot induced stupidity and idk some decisions which would really ramp up the stakes super early which I am doubtful might be resolved well ||

Zetna Fuentes for episode 4

Very strong start

Love how consistent the tone and look and direction of the show is visually

foggy mirage

Vince just has an eye for picking the right people for his projects

Nobody here feels like they are incongruous with the overall tone like you said

I guess you can also chalk it up to making 2 of the most successful tv shows. And apple TV likely gave him everything he asked for

It’s a hallmark of a good show, Severance had the same visual clarity and aesthetic but a lot of the episodes there were directed by Stiller

I'm a few books ahead of schedule so I'll probably get to at least 370

I'm at 357 rn I think

modern lichen

are you reading children's books

sage remnant

The max number of books I have known a person I know to have read in a year is 187

#

so 357 is a strange number

spiral shoal
#

also all of them are romance fiction

so some of them are like YA romance but they aren't children's books really

#

most books I read are between like 250 and 350

#

I try to read 1 a day

#

but yes 350 isn't very long for a novel you're right

#

also romance novels are really easy to read, so it's not that impressive to read 1 a day

so this year I wanted to push myself and see if I could do 1 a day
