I really want to read
damn you brandon
Stormlight all || Kaladin meeting Lopen and other Bridge 4 who are in Roshar ||
i don't care about your other books lol give me mainline Storm
SAME!
I think cosmere's a super great concept, and Brandon's the author who has been doing it the best I can expect anyone to do
but it's still lacking for me
Stormlight all/Cosmere || He doesn't seem to take risks of different planets being in different era of technical development. Sure there might be someee but not like to the level of millennia of difference and the various economical and other impacts it cna have ||
When did he decide he would officially have a cosmere? Before, during, or after writing Elantris or Mistborn?

oh lmfao btw Mistborn book 3 ||The Lord Ruler making sure the tech behind gunpowder was lost is hilarious. "These peasants will kill us all with guns!"||
Stormlight all/cosmere || and with this, I don't want dissertation upon dissertation upon why and how the economy changes. Just show don't tell ||
would have been SO COOL
cosmere all don't open buffy ||all the 16 stuff was fun to read I remember||
Mistborn book 3 || it's cool yea ||
but idk man
I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really
that's a known bad storytelling thing. i think even brandon teaches against that in his classes most of the time lol. it's part of "worldbuilder's disease"
I love detail in my books (asoiaf). I don't think i want to read about a country's economic system in a novel though
|| hate that some media show guns to be fuck all to any magic or supernatural powers || Mistborn book 3/ general rant
Like I said
it can easily be done through show don't tell
like
in normal interaction and behvaiors of people
i agree-ish. but that's gotta be a really fine balance to strike
like showing a bank doing a currency exchange
is a huge indicator of how economy works
in these tiny things
you can change a lot
i'm cool with that, just don't give me an infodump on this stuff.
which is tell, don't show
let me backtrack slightly though
I am OK with infodumps that have been earned through the story. like a mystery that's finally getting solved and does require good explanation
RoW || The social structure and timing of the way magic was introduced in the world and how economy of the world is situated,
Roshar got science behind electromagnetism in form of fabrial science before they discovered systematic agriculture ||
|| we didn't get a infodump about it. but just the various pieces and stuff showing the world to develop this differently from our world, is what I want from my worldbuilding ||
RoW ||He DOES go into that explanation of how Navani's flying systems work and the whole elevator shaft mechanics which did make my eyes glaze over though||
brandon is such a nerd dammit
I mean,,, not the point but again that's like
needed?
|| cuz like it's just a magitech version of TWOK || RoW
i was ok not having all that detail. probably different strokes for different folks
|| TWOK goes more into the mythology and what not || RoW
mechanical breakdowns probably are not too much my thing
fair
I find that more towards mythological stuff nowadays
cuz like || if you think TWOk one was needed and RoW one wasn't, I would call you a hypocrite || RoW
||but if you say you enjoyed the first and didn't the latter, it's just a taste thing||
RoW || and the RoW one goes more into how all that action is affecting Navani and her character, her thoughts and a deeper dive into her imposter syndrome than we got anything for Shallan ||
or like OB || Dalinar flashback showing the commoditization of spanreel in just 1-2 not so important every couple of flashback chapters ||
you mean the details of the world's mythos?
like you don't like reading that?
I am tired of it
I like them
but what I want more is || how A world, with certain social and economic structure and races and magic (which is always a resource that can be studied and developed on) comoditized , would look if it progressed 500-1500 years ||
RoW/fantasy genera idk
that kind of stuff can also fall under annoying worldbuilding lore dumps
Is this a brandon thing btw? Mistborn first 3 and Stormlight all ||They both technically tackle this subject matter||
Instead of || here were gods, the world is at a era similar to idk medieval or w/e||
One of a reason why I like Stormlight and he is a writer who understands me I think
BUT
he still does it in a way I am not satisfied
Lemme do the dishes. Will return in 10 min. I am enjoying this convo
Brandon and the manga Magi are the only ones that have been okayish in that regard too
Hello #cosmere
yall don't read other series

talk discworld
talk black company
it's only harsh who occassionally talks other books
Bro you yourself are reading the series
update go
Haven’t been reading much, work and life got in the way 
still nice
I’ll start posting movie yap, if one must save this channel from monolithically structured discourse 
Joking. I like how much you guys get into it
I could save with Malazan yap but I haven't read any thing in months
Same with Bleach in os
It’s ok. The world benefits every time Bleach discourse ceases
I was enjoying our discourse...
Kubo’s just gonna fuck everything by giving Pierrot the green light to completely restructure the story buuuut
I digress
Os topic anyways
I deliberately don’t talk a lot about movies in here anymore because not everyone could follow
You watch a lot of movies than anyone harsh
plus this channel always had its phases
Just its second cosmere phase after the first in 2022
I’ve not been watching movies at all nowadays
Hopefully Crime 101 is good
I just read most of the time now
Too tired to even do that man
doomscrolling is all I have left
Too tired to engage with media I am resorting to slops...
I’ve been watching and rewatching a lot in the hopes that I’ll organically establish a large Letterboxd diary lol
But also because I’m just passionate about film. I mean, I wouldn’t go out of my way to consistently watch a movie per day if I wasn’t
love to see it
Crash, Branded to Kill, and Yojimbo are my favorite first watches of the year rn
Cronenberg must be dethroned before the year ends
thought i'd be changing this up from time to time
only been cycling out princess mononoke
Ikiru is so fucking good, man. I still do not think I could say anything about it that would do it proper justice
Irrelevant, but also sort of relevant, I was watching Kojima’s criterion closet video and he said something along the lines of people within Japan being more into the works of Ozu and Mizoguchi than they are Kurosawa’s and that the big difference is that Kurosawa’s work was more accessible than the former two’s to a western audience
Which was sort of interesting to me. Not in the sense that I disagree, just in the sense that I had never considered it
kurosawa made really ahistorical period films but they rocked
Do you read mostly fiction or non-fiction
I read both
Anything that interests me
And a lot of stuff and topics interests me
i do both as well, though fiction more often than non-fiction
@foggy mirage Absolute Manhunter || https://x.com/dcuworld/status/2024900247303135528?s=46 ||
like i was reading about ancient israelite archeological biblical history, which was neat
and then Empire of the Damned afterwards lol
tonal whiplash
and i've read some quasi-political books about the US
I really like the art style of this line
I’m not fully up to date with each run, but I’m loving the absolute DC lines. Very refreshing
film mogged
Your WHAT???
This movie was also really good, amazing acting
Wor || can I look up a picture of terravangion's diagram? Will it just be arcane hints or explicit spoilers ||
Don't do this.
i think it will spoil things
Ok thanks that's why I asked
and even if it doesn't directly, a website heading, comment, or even image link might spoil something
@limber urchin comic store owners recognize me now
when they see you walk in, the "cha ching" sound effect plays in their head
number one customer
"reads"
just be like me and buy a single one piece volume every couple months
How do they do that every week
jobs
good money
or they're bad with money
the latter is more common than you may realize, and this applies to grown adults who live on their own
I wish I grew up when comics were 50 cents a piece
McD's menu from the 1970s
70 cents for a quarter pounder with cheese
The first xmen issue is 1 year old than my dad
this is how much it is on my grubhub. i don't think it's this price in person though (and this is not including the additional fees and taxes)
Food shipping prices are just more expensive
food delivery apps are so criminal. glad i stopped them a few years back
Same thing on doordash for me is 6.49
I rarely use them
doorass
Only when I’m feeling exceptionally lazy
I dont trust the delivery guys anymore after some horror stories I heard
Black cat #5 2019
Was tempted
at least not to deliver food
wait this isn't #also-manga why are we talking off topic here
grubhub was incredible during the height of covid (though maybe not for the drivers, sorry homies)
Nothing is more western then mcdonalds
Big unhealthy burgers
Triple s tier cover love the composition
As long as you give a nice tip I think you can trust delivery drivers. It's only when you give em nothing you gotta be worried
Watched Office S7E22
Peak
Also finished Man on the inside S2
And watched half of Parks & Recreation S1
extortion
The way I see it it's a fair price to pay to enable myself to be lazy
I can't be assed to even drive to get my food that I'm too lazy to make myself, the guy doing that for be deserves a decent tip
thats called wage
A lot of the times when I get food I'm drinking or smoking and just being the pinnacle of slovenly gluttony
sorry but this is america, we have done a phenomenal job of glorfying tipping culture, moreso now than ever before.
hell yea
I'm not in charge of the system my only option is to tip or not so I choose tip
@reef anchor yooo another slovenian
Is that where slovenly comes from? That's pretty mean if true
Yes
I got excited but you're just being silly
now I'm sad and disappointed
WoR 28 || ok this was a funny chapter I laughed quite a bit. Horneater shallan is peak ||
WoR 28 || Boots !||
Do you have the ToR edition of the book
WoR 28 || That cover has Shallan wearing Kal's boots ||
WoR 28 || oh yeah she has boots on in that cover ||
can;t believe final episode of KOT7K tomorrow
Intermission of Crime 101.
P fun so far
sorry just came back from the future

Ngl haven't seen no bears
But this has me interested
Fished
Lmao
Is through the olive leaves good too ?
Got me AGAIN
Thats why I always double check
no time to check
He got me once too
High key knights been more enjoyable to me than House
I'm begging season 2 is just as good if not better
Yeah I refuse to Google the show outside incognito
Or twitter
Getting very spoiler happy
This the move for googling anything that I don’t want to infest my feed
You got fish’d
This and dont talk
I repeat do not talk about something you're interested in
I swear its like your mic hears you
And recommends stuff
you paid to see Mercy 😭
I feel bad for the 13.50
You spent to watch mercy
Mercy is a hot pack of ass
That was truly a January movie
the fact it wasn't AI slop makes it worse 😭
Luckily since I am not in US
it costed me like
< 3USD
I think it was on the brink of funny bad for me
But didn't become that
So it was just bad
Like the best January movie was bone temple
@foggy mirage
Arrival- The Lobster
RashomonDrive
of these Arrival was the best one so far
March should be better movie wise
You a Denis fan through and through
You are one of us
You need to watch blade runner eventually
If you havent
lol bro bladerunner is one of my favorite movies
Both ?
Which one
Both right ?
ehh more the original
Yea og is better
i loved 2049
Both mid fr fr
I am lowkey biased against 2049 because of Redditors
lol @sage remnant you paid for Mercy nigga relax
The lobster is good tho
So have fun
/s all three are very good
onto it next
Theatrical and extended cut of first, and 2049
I watch a movie in hall each month
So the only.option was Mercy
😭
Other movies were even worse
@foggy mirage
Arrival/WTD - || the circular timeline , was just absolute cinema. First thing i thought of right as soon as the girl showed the drawing of them and the bird. i was like "Is this bitch Pennywise 😭 " ||
Have u watched incendies
Def
alright bet
Arrival ||its very clever use of it for storytelling and its beautifully shot. This movie blade runner and sicario is why I was hype for Denis on 007.||

Add desperados
If its not there
By Robert Rodriguez
alright bet 😭
Dune 3 this year 🙏
Dune 3 this year amongst others
@foggy mirage y'all got a letterboxd
Peak
I do but I need to actually put movies up
So whenever I get to that lmao
lol i literally just add movies as i remmeber them
https://letterboxd.com/goronyaaneko/
Check mine for very good taste
Wow this year is stacked
added
Which which
2026
Check pins
Beyond hyped for minus one sequel
FACTS
Director made 1 with a sequel in mind
He said as much
Who cares
The first story was p much self contained and powerful for thay
Bruh
I am gonna have super low expectations
Just hating for no reason
Good trailer
Also what's werwulf
Ye
Cmon man you can’t say this while listing marvel stuff
FF was decent
I have read PHM. I don't see it working as well as a movie so meh
Godzilla Minus 0 is more of my dislike of everything needing a sequel nowadays
Trying to get through each film before doomsday
Knowing I only care about a specific group 
Yeah no
Way more hyped for the sequel
Specially if minus one sequel ||its hidorah or biolante||
I would hate that even more
I think you're gonna hate the movie period
I'm ngl
You seem very dead set on the pre hate
Godzilla Minus one || Just the shot of Godzilla at the end ruins the emotional catharsis of the finale ||
😭
So long as you dont stand on the sidelines like an old man whenever everyone here is gushing about it
I never do that?
Not saying you do
I sometimes meme hate on smth
but when people start loving and gushing
I leave lol
FF is an exception to my Marvel take abobe
I think its the peak of MCU Marvel
🏃♂️
GoTG3 is the weakest entry in the trilogy sadly
still Great
but I liked 1 and 2 more
Fair
1 is the weakest to me
I don't have much negatives or anything about 3
Surely the peak will be X-Men
just 1 and 2 hit more for me
i had very low standards for marvel
I would not invest in that
im trying to come back after x-men 97
Non MCU easily
Lisa my hopium is off the charts
I think Xmen franchise had been much better than MCU as a whole
thats true
X2 and Days of Future Past stood out
Xmen origins
The peak of Days of Future Class, Logan
MCU had even worse entries
Logan was very nice yes
Nah dark phoenix is pretty horrendous
Trueee
Might be worse than dark world
Awful movie
Uhhhh
X3 is just aggressively mid
I don't think worse than Dark World
so is half of MCU
Both movies bore me to death
But phoenix is the end
Of the xmen
And thats worse
By several magnitudes
See wanna hear my very valid copium
With the timeline nonsense Bryan singer did
The definitive canonical movies are
|| Xmen, X2, First Class, Days of Future Past, Logan || Xmen all
|| cuz Days of Future Past effectively removes X3, all Origins Movies ||
Yeah like
doomsday third trailer || That Cyclops Shot is more peak than anything in both franchises ||
Unless its watts

I see
Doomsday Third Trailer ||Well if it’s anything, hopefully the movie does Cyclops justice that the fox films did not||
After several films
I can’t be sure yet
Save the mcu cretton
|| Cuz bro that shot got me from not caring about MCU to watching Doomsday in first show || Doomsday
who's cretton
Which movie
The bros are fresh off the electric flop
So I better see some insane motion for doomsday
Yeah I dont have much hope for doomsday
I'm basically at ground level excitement
Unironically bigger chance spiderman 4 suprises me
Wait let me be clear I don't think its gonna be a good movie at all lmao
doomsday || I am going there just as a Xmen fanboy||
idc about the movie

Same 
Doomsday ||they are all gonna die in the first 30 mins.||@foggy rain @sage remnant
I'm betting money on that
If its done well
LMAO
Even that could be fulfilling to me ngl
Doomsday ||they are all gonna die in embarrassing ways.||
Don't jinx it...
Doomsday ||To return, only to die early in the runtime, cruel fate||
Doomsday ||people hyping up cyclops like the scene wasnt him about to get slimed out.||
But it was peak?
Doomsday || that's not an embarrassing way. That's a crazy good final stand ||
In just that clip
Doomsday ||they need victims to set the stakes and they aren't gonna sacrifice their mcu babies.||

.
We have to get rid of the MCU surely
A movie which has the potential to undo the cathartic ending of the first one?
Vs a fan service movie
I couldn't care less about the ending
yeah I am sure which one I would prefer
Fan service movie has way worse of a change to be bad
I dint exactly like Deadpool 3 either
The nostalgia monkey dance can only get you so far
Oh if only I could afford uncanny X men omnibuses 
I would rather have a hollow fanservice sequel than smth like NWH where I can't even enjoy the fanservice
Thats mostly on people being born too late
How?
I sure did
Rice is like 25
Lisa if I am Xmen nostalgic, would I not be spiderman nostalgic
I believe
xmen is older lol
Xmen 1 is older
Rice is like 21
Cyclops #1 picked this up today
Not the rest of them
22 Lisa
X2 too
I am 25 lisa
I grew up with those fucking movies lmao
and NWH didn't work for me
Idk how it dint work for you
I think shang tsung might have gotten your soul on this one
😭
I think the movie is terrible
Fan service is the only thing that did anything for me
I've gone on record here not liking almost anything from the watts movies
It tried to be more than fanservice and the other aspects not working for me didn't let me enjoy fanservice
While Deadpool and Wolverine from the onset was nothing more than fanservice
Spiderman 2 is like 2006
Goro
Nwh ||the main bad guy and appeal villain wise is green goblin from 2002. Nobody was going that nutty for doc and I love the guy.||
Oh its 2004
Deadpool 3/NWH || The only part which made me emotional was Maguire and Doc convo and Peter saving MJ.
While Deadpool 3 just endcredit behind the scenes had me crying ||
Ngl the Deadpool thing got no emotion out of me

It was
Definitely feel dp3 ||was way more disrespectful to Logan than minus one could ever be.||
So to me everything mcu wise these days starts at ok
Till it hooks me in or proves to be worse than ok
I mean, the Minus Zero comparison is weird as the tone of the Deadpool movies and Minus 1 is night and day?
It works in Deadpool because its deadpool
The whole reason that movie works is because its not taking itself seriously
Being a quip machine is what every mcu character does
Its not really a special trait
😭
I enjoyed dp3 when it released but every rewatch made it nose dive for me
Now it sits firmly below 1 for me
The last mcu thing I genuinely loved was wonder man
so when some good moments occur like say || Logan in her mind "They Walked Away" or "You were always the wrong guy, until you weren't" or smth by x23, it added a layer of extra sincerity to me || Deadpool and Wolverine
What's The Wonder Man
Nah felt incensire to me ||I get they were trying to give this Logan a good end. But a lot of it is banking on you loving Logan from the ogs and his solo movie with Laura. I had put him to rest years ago. And it wasnt doing it for me.||
Dp3
Show that dropped a couple of weeks ago
Was fantastic
Shows need a bigger investment for me
I am already tired of popular stuff with how I wasted 3 seasons in Stranger things

With 6 eps
5 hours = a week
I watch stuff slow. I can't even finish a ep in one sitting lol
I only manage to watch stuff for 1 hour at max a day
Except some days when I just go to hall
which show?
like today
Oh its that bad with the slowness
Wonder man
absolute fucking cinema
I mean this is the truth
even rn I am working in my laptop while talking in phone lol
@foggy mirage you never watched Atlanta Right?
I think i watched a couple seasons it was fun
Wonder Man felt like Atlanta to me
@modern lichen how many weeks until I can binge The Pitt
i need to binge the Pitt too, i fell really behind
I need to watch it eventually
S1 or S2?
Both
@sage remnant finished day 6
Peak isn't it
Fr
gimme proper thoughts
Super good
What's happenning in flashback s
WaT D6 ||Also Shallan saw Chanarach and started going in coping mode which means the theory was right...||
WaT D6 ||Szeth leaving with his father after having found that he cheated on his wife, and Elid trying to convince him to let him stay||
Which exactly
WaT D6 ||Shallan's mother (whom she killed) being Chana, which led her to get sent to Braize and then breaking immediately causing the Fused to return||
||This in Szeth's, Dalinar just connected to the Stormfather || WaT D6
What's the ending of that chapter I mean
I am confused which one are you referring to
Its chapter 75
i only stopped watching because i was too happy with the playoffs. The last thing i needed was the Pitt 😭
Sports survivor
enjoyer 
Survivor
Cannot catch me doing sports like that anymore
a little head trauma builds character
Time for more knight
what ep you on?
We try to avoid ctr
Cte
Still on 3 cause I was waiting for more
I read the og book form of this
ight bet
people that read the books said they did a good job with the series.. you would have to verify
i can't read so 
Time of book you use as a shield
For a knight tho id say its accurate
Couple changes but nothing drastic like got or house so far
House 2 took insane liberties
How many ep for dunk and egg to finish
Its 6 total
after i saw the trailer
How many is it at rn
Yet I liked this season more
5
Nicee
Next week is the last one unless its this week
I think its sunday
They are gonna start filming s2 soon
Which is the smart thing to do
Cant be doing that stranger things waiting 3 seasons to film jazz
by the way Lisa you ever watch Ben 10, if so thoughts on the new Comic coming out in May
Ngl the main design is not appealing to me
The new one for the omnitrix
The other one on the cover looks better
oh what about the new Alien designs no fuking with it?
It looks like ben 10 comic || a mess of pipes and shit all over.||
Doesn't really make much sense to me
i hope because it is atleast teen rated that we will get a bit more Absolute universe vibes
Ben 10 / Absolute Batman Latest - || https://vxtwitter.com/Smv_of_Heroes/status/2024545374657032248?s=20 ||
Not like he wasn't that already...
true
Also noticed absolute green lantern/ arrow . ||his mask is literally ollie's goatee. The shape and everything.||
Wrong green hero
Absolute green lantern/arrow
You can tell more with the image I just posted
Its ending soon
ya can't wait to binge
So you'll have the whole thing by then
i love the art style
No its been great
Ngl this guy feels like a tourist
Ben 10 original series spoilers ||he was already big ass hell. And acting like that off series 1.||
Ben 10 original/alien force/omintrix/latest. || like hello ??? || @sage remnant @frank rivet
I am saying he already is tho???
.
I'm not saying you are
Lmao
Why you assume that
I'm calling that guy a tourist
Mister smv
Guy gives off i catched "3 eps back in the day" energy
Ben 10 Original - || https://x.com/AlexandreSar999/status/2016165986995491207?s=20 ||
he was TOUGH
Very likely a later series villain
If they get that far
Not like anything they do story wise can ruin this
CN was fumbling that reboot
@sage remnant
#western-series message
That is it
Ben 10 isnt a dc property
Its just a darker reboot inspired by it
yeah I know
I mean
like
idk || the concept of Absolute universe like the heroes not having their advantage - maybe lack of Uncle Max - and then being cosmic horrory || would be great
Ben 10
than just darker reboot
I mean we don't know if anything else is going on
Just the previews
Stormlight/Tress || One of the Magic System here is related to Connection, and there are examples of like characters who can use that abilities connecting people to the language speaking people to give them limited time ability
Or a civilization just making a magic translation tablet which uses connection for predictive input ||
@limber harbor
I’m eventually going to read these, should I click anyway?
Stormlight /tress || depending on how this is used it seems like something I can like or hate. Depending on how convenient and related to the other magic it is||
|| Not convenient|| Stormlight /tresa
Stormlight/Tress|| In the latter its just to show how a world you have visited previously in a different book has progressed in 200 years ||

Tress had so many things I love but it just had to be written and structured in fucking annoying way
Stormlight/tress || I heard the best thing about these books is its magic system so I suppose it’s pretty well done ||
Ehh I don't really know
for me its the emotional catharsis
And Brandon seems to write my brand of worldbuilding for the most part
Prose is literally invisible
Except in Tress where it isn't so it sucks
Stormlight/tress || but to be honest magic system is far from my top priority in series, as long as it’s a story where I care about the characters, it makes everything better by default||
For me Brandon takes the win in characters and Worldbuilding
People apparently like his plots, but they have either been in don't care category or bad for me
That’s curious
Which plots do you think are bad besides hero of ages (of the Sanderson books I’ve read)
Hero of Ages and Reckoners series
Have you also read Stormlight
He is reading ir
in book 3
@modern lichen what's the dc animated movie with || darkseid and batman || DC animated universe all
With the emergence of giant, violent monsters known as “S-Class Species,” the Japanese government has formed the SSSP to study and formulate how to defeat them. During one such monster attack, the SSSP is shocked to gain a new ally in their fight against the monsters: a silent silver giant who they name “Ultraman.” Yet, what are Ultraman...
@raw gate
Can I just watch the movie or should I actually watch the series lol
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
you can watch the movie
Say less
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse || this was the one with the ending being Batman with plan sorta right? ||
|| like disabling his systems or making it against darkseid or smth ||
It’s cool but it’s not the best Shin movie
Godzilla obviously is the best
Followed by Kamen Rider
I don’t remember it much but I think that’s what it was
Been getting some Batman and Star Wars edits on IG
lol
you probably understood what that means 
Yeah
@raw gate have you watched Shin Godzilla or Godzilla minus 1
watch both soon
and if you know smth about western monsterverse
watch Monarch
Season 2 coming out on my birthday
only 6 days remaining...
Shin Godzilla is a classic five star film
Minus One is cool
Honestly looks fire. They need to bring back Kaiju movies using practical effects and shit again yo we could have a whole Renaissance of costumes up monsters and I'm for it
We’ve moved beyond that
If my life went a different path I would be dedicated to bringing it back
Mocap tech is really good
Shin Godzilla || It works for Shin Godzilla because the creature doesn’t show up for a lot of scenes and whatever is shown of Godzilla is impactful enough in those very scant few scenes ||
Monarch good? I gotta like steal a friend's apple or do a free week to watch this and the studio lmao
Monarch is like
take the mess that is Monsterverse
and manage to tie it together pretty well
Monarch streamlines and gives us actual good human character to root for
Anna Sawai is killing it man
Monarch
Shogun
Pachinko
she's in in the upcoming Beatles one too
Damn I almost watched Shogun too
another one I am hating that they are making a sequel
they could idk
cover the second book of Asian Saga
but nah they want to make a direct sequel to Shogun
They made a series once before like in the 70s or something right?
@limber urchin mistborn updates before I go watch superman/batman apocalypse or doomscroll and sleep
yee
anything but Winds
asoiaf|| https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/1ratppl/george_r_r_martin_announces_game_of_thrones_stage/ ||
They still do this for the Godzillafest short films
Worth checking out
Bon which is your fav among shin trilogy
Unfortunately the suits aren't half as convincing in 4k you can see their seams lol
idk if they are referred to by that
Godzilla
I haven't seen Kamen Rider yet, Ultraman is okay but Anno's style isn't anywhere near as well suited for a hopeful superhero film
Besides AKOTSK I’m not very moved much by ASOAIF anymore (unless Winds comes out, then I’ll be VERY moved)
fair
I'm definitely checking this out
Superman 2025 is kinda exactly what Shin Ultraman was trying to be and more effective at it
hmmmmm
I have all the books out other than side stuff and I just won't read them till the final books come out got
I think both worked similarly at different level for me
I’ll keep this in mind while watching it today. Think I generally agree with you about Anno’s style tho.
Are all three shins on Amazon?
It doesn’t feel suited for what you’re describing Ultraman as
I don’t even watch shit on Prime anymore, riddled with ads I have to pay extra on
atleast Netflix is great still
I ALREADY PAID SO MUCH FOR PRIME
I use a friends lol
also to whoever watched it, Leverage Redemption ends with s3
Ita ridiculous
it was unreal that the series was ever continued that way
but we got really peak stuff
and a peak Noah Wyle character
(got reminded of it cuz of Prime convo)
Ads after paying subscription fee ?
yea lol

We really went full circle back to cable tv
cable tv better
Fuh naw
Shin Ultraman ||the gap between the "what if a superhero was in modern day society and had his secret identity discovered by the government in minutes, and now has to deal with the japanese bureaucracy," to "Ultraman is learning to be human and thinks humanity is worth fighting for" subplots doesn't really get resolved for me. A lot of scenes arent really earned, they're just accepted as a straight adaption of scenes from the show
I came out of it not really caring whatsoever about any of the characters it's just a framework for a package film recreating some of his coolest fights in HD. Which is fine, and I do like the movie taking an episodic approach instead of having a singular villain and scenario. Superheroes work best when they're given a lot of their mythos to work with and I'm tired of seeing origin story films only covering like, one villain and evil plot for 2 hours in a genre fueled by 20 minutes episodes and 20 page floppies||
You can read all that when you see the film Rei lol
yeah don't open it rn
I agree for the latter ig
but the first did work well for me
well mesh well
Prime ui is so ass too and the library is worse than netflix and hbo.
just use RD and Kodi
My self control needs work but I think I can manage this
Lmfao
I appreciate you no matter what choices you make
This is gonna be the first movie I’ve watched in like a month that I don’t own physically
Like dead ass it's freaking upsetting it's why I feel it's time to raise the flag again
Major cap
Honestly wondering where I’m gonna watch it at
here comes your alt about dickriding anno rei
Don’t really feel like sailing the high seas for it
I like Minus more than Shin too but they're basically at par with each other
Pirate it
fed's fav movie of all time is shiki jitsu
The 1954 film as well
Pretty excited about Minus Zero
That’s really fucking cool
They're all just slightly different flavors of the same masterpiece and all effective at their angles
Does The Return count as a movie? Can I be allowed that? It’s on Letterboxd.
Sure
Ok then that’s my favorite movie
Twin Peaks the Return
Twin Peaks season three lol
ohhh
Twin Peaks fans have deluded themselves into calling it a movie because Lynch kinda described it as such
just first three movies on opening letterboxd are so different from each other man 
All Dogs holds up
All Dogs Go to Heaven LOL
Mistborn book 3 ||Act 2 still|| ||Vin and Elend just had their dance, it was cute; I was surprised nothing went wrong at the ball. Secondly, so far, this book is my least favorite of the three I think for two reasons: lots of build up without a focused antagonist outside the nebulous Ruin and Deepness/Mist, and we're still after a couple hundred pages focused on the main goal of finding that last cache. I assume from there is when things kick into high gear. I actually like Spook's chapters the most and TenSoon's chapters the least (in fact, I can do without them honestly). I don't hate the book, it's quite good, just my least favorite of this trilogy so far. At least there are neat revelations being explained in the beginning of chapters.||
That’s like, exactly the type of movie I’d expect Bon to have most recently watched
absolute banger
nice nice
Second good movie I've seen this week
Bro hated Rock A Doodle
Yeah it's fuckin trash

watched it a few times as a child. is it really that bad? I have little to no memory of it.
Mistborn book 3 || I am sad that the dance could have been my fav thing from the entire series. It HAD to be it, and would be it on paper.
But just the things surrounding it didn't work for me so it weighed down on it ||
i havent been watching many movies lately. the most recent i seen was escape from new york which wasnt like.. good cinema.. but was pretty entertaining
I don’t even think I would rate Rock A Doodle or FernGully
I see what you mean, I was able to ignore that stuff for some reason.
|| Like it's the type of moment that would have been my fav one. Case in point: Wat Part 3. Kaladin and Syl's dance. Had me sobbing and it's my fav part of the book ||WaT/mistborn book 3
It's just really boring and preachy whenever Tim Curry or Robin Williams are on screen. Feels like a PSA or Captain Planet episode
WAT ||The dance that drove the shippers wild you mean lol||
Even as a kid that kinda environmentalist messaging annoyed me
Bon, what are your opinions on the Secret of Nimh?
i'm washed
it's my fav part of the book
oh wtf I remembers Robin but Curry was in it too? Pennywise, my beloved
|| really cathartic and emotional|| WaT
I had a great time with it, too.
Marty Supreme is good. Haven’t seen Bone Temple yet
|| even now tears started falling since I thought of "I'd go dancing with Syl" line || WaT
really washed...
And I am an environmentalist I think it just simplifies the problem so much that it becomes unrecognizable. I think Sonic the Hedgehog is legit better pro-green media than Ferngully lmao
Also Robin Williams raps and they never should have allowed him
princess mononoke stands as the perfect environmentalist movie

*Nausicaa

Yeah this sounds good
why are torrents so bad nowadays man. fucking showing 1 day for apocalypse
lol
public trackers are trash
I am well past Private tracker days
you need private ones
back in my day, piratebay and yts used to be enough for plebs
Piratebay was my go to for music
thought piratebay was taken down
it has
I think I used limewire
damn
Before just snagging all my stuff from megas on /mu/
Now I use official sources like a good boy :)
I only remember hints of Limewire
Same lol. Now that I have a job I can just pay for Apple Music
Limewire, Vuze
I use Spotify and Bandcamp
youtube music>>
been a while since I even listened to music properly man
rei listening m87 with you earlier was probably the only music I have listened to in last couple of weeks
😭
Incomprehensible for one like myself who listens to music everyday
that was me too before
I got a ton on my phone, I learned my lesson about using Spotify as a replacement for actual digital purchases
When I flew to Japan and they broke their offline toggle so it was still trying to do a connection check to listen to anything and I was stuck with 2 songs for the entire flight
Never again
Plane rides are absolutely awful. I can usually never focus on anything else even when I try to
best for binging books
I usually bring my hacked psp and/or 3ds
That and music is enough
Struggle to focus on reading during a flight
Only really bring books for 10+ hr ones
I finished one book in each 3 flights last vacation
I think my problem is I barely read books that aren't comics or glorified encyclopedias
Not a great study environment
Like these were my last two purchases
I've had lotr and asoiaf sitting on my shelf for ten years now and have never opened em
reading these makes you cooler Bon
atleast in my eyes
😃
but fr
when will I have Gon By Bon
I'll purchase the graphic novel whenever you finish it
Idk I haven't had time to draw literally all month cuz I've been redecorating and cleaning my house
Or doing fun things like tax issues
wow i like dinos
Planes for me are insanely good for sleep. I’m not even in a good seat, I pay for the crappiest seat and instantly fall asleep
FR
