Both good shows. Dexter got worst over time while BB got better and better. Think it surpassed Dexter around the 2011 mark

sage remnant
#

dexter has a concept that interests me while BB doesn't

#

shrimple

outer tulip
#

Same. I only watched Bb because everyone kept telling me I needed to catch up. Otherwise I wouldn’t have. It was good tho

frank rivet
#

what is the concept of BB

sage remnant
#

the premise of BB

#

it's a boring premise to me.

#

maybe the show is good. But there's so many things that actually interest me and fall in my taste

outer tulip
#

A high school chemistry teacher dying of cancer tries to make a fortune selling drugs

sage remnant
#

that the "is good" doesn't really work much for me

frank rivet
#

theres a lot better stuff happening

outer tulip
#

It’s starts off kinda stupid cause he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing but then he gets deeper and deeper into the cartel

outer tulip
sage remnant
#

again I know the spoilers

frank rivet
#

lol alright bro lets not spoil for non watchers

sage remnant
#

like I know the elements that are in there

#

Maybe the character writing is good. Maybe the themes explored are done well

outer tulip
#

That’s the first episode trailer lol

sage remnant
#

but I am primariily a SFF + Mystery + Police Procedural guy

outer tulip
#

Yeah I don’t blame you for not wanting to watch Bb Goro

sage remnant
#

Like The Wire falls in my taste and I haven't gotten to that yet

frank rivet
#

i love breaking bad, but i think i love BTS more

outer tulip
#

Most people enjoyed it cause it felt like the whole world was watching it weekly together … but watching it now would be dreadful cause it’s painfully slow

sage remnant
#

again I like slow

#

it's not the supposed quality that's the issue here

#

or the supposed pace

sage remnant
#

it's the actual events and style of the show

frank rivet
#

it is not slow idk where that came from

outer tulip
#

Yeah I mean I just wouldn’t recommend it in today’s content consumption climate because people tend to prefer quick and easy content

frank rivet
#

its a well paced show

sage remnant
#

I don't prefer quick and easy content btw

outer tulip
#

Not you as in Goro but just the general public nowadays

sage remnant
#

I hate the "plot" stuff which happen at the sake of cutting the character's exploration time

frank rivet
#

@foggy mirage word on the street is Absolute series is aiming to hit issue 50

sage remnant
#

is that a lot for comics?

frank rivet
#

hmm i don't know tbh, i just started reading comics. However, i think most else world usually end in 7-10 issues

foggy mirage
frank rivet
#

does he have enough to sustain it?

outer tulip
foggy mirage
#

But we're not even at half of his villains still

#

So yeah a lot of material to work with for ages

#

I think the biggest worry is monitary

#

More than material wise

frank rivet
#

its selling well right?

foggy mirage
#

Its the best selling one

#

So I wouldnt worry overall

#

All the books sell well

#

They also get boosts

#

When they drop the volumes

Absolute batman 19 all covers so far.

😂

#

Absolute superman 20 cover ||this is what I'm hyped about.||

#

Need to catch back up on lantern

#

Heard they were cooking like crazy again

#

Al ewing usually winds his writing up like an elden ring baits hits

#

But he always delivers

frank rivet
#

i need to finish manhunter

#

it probably has the best art in all the absolute Universe

#

imho

foggy mirage
#

Its likely getting a hugo

#

If I'm being honest

frank rivet
#

whats that 😭

foggy mirage
frank rivet
#

well deserved

foggy mirage
#

Watchmen has one

#

The og comic

#

So its always a nice thing to give people that actually cook

#

Pretty sure dc offered the martian team another comic

#

Which is the reason for it ending now

#

We have no clue which one currently

frank rivet
#

will it be in same universe?

foggy mirage
#

No idea yet

frank rivet
#

ah dang

foggy mirage
#

People want it to be doom patrol

#

I have to agree with those people

frank rivet
#

growing up i didn't fuck with john but this really changed my whole perspective

foggy mirage
#

Hes cool in the main universe too

#

Its just people dont really have a big crazy iconic run for him

#

From my knowledge

frank rivet
#

i was mainly introduced to him through justice league

#

but as a kid i probably didn't pay attention to wtf was going on in that show in retrospect FujiKEK

This next week we're hitting

#

oathbringer part 4 end || i dunno if i believe terravangion anymore that hes just the humble doer of whatg needs to be done to save the world. Hes done so much damage to the allied efforts in his machinations to replace dalinar. I previously was buying the idea that hes just the guy who is willing to go to any end for this noble goal but maybe i got tricked. Maybe hes tricking himself. It doesnt feel true. But maybe these events are properly 4d chessed out in the diagram ||

DAMN you speed running oathbringer

worthy crypt
#

I think we roughly on the same pace i just startedl ike 1 book earlier than you

#

Stupid af...

mild seal
sage remnant
#

PHM|| So it'd present in very truncatef way? ||

mild seal
#

PHM ||they kinda show some scenes of him on a laptop and when Grace says a word and Rocky makes the noises, he turns those noises into that word on the laptop||

#

PHM ||so maybe they didn't show them doing that with every word, but it was still shown and easily understandable what he was doing||

sage remnant
#

Nice

#

well it was the best part of the book so hopefully its done as well

mild seal
#

I mean I enjoyed the movie

#

I also haven't read the book so

#

PHM ||my date was like, "I didn't know I would get sad over a rock" lol||

#

Theres some small cuts from the book

#

But nothing major

#

You’re getting all the important beats

outer tulip
#

I’ve read people say the movie is better than the book

tawny parcel
#

I dont really have a preference

#

The book is a fun silly scifi

#

The movie is a fun silly scifi

outer tulip
#

I’ve never read it so I don’t really have a say. But I know it’s rare for a movie to be better than a book

tawny parcel
#

The book is called like a masterpiece too which is something i didn’t understand cause i read it and also just thought it was a fun sci fi book lol

#

Like the book is pretty much set up to be a great blockbuster film

#

I would find it hard for someone to come out disliking it

#

But i don’t think it’s like strongly the best either, which i felt the same way about the book either

#

It’s just a good time

#

The trailers sucked tho except dune 3 lol

#

That mandalorian and grogu movie looks bad

#

Looks fake asf

outer tulip
#

Spiderman looked okay

tawny parcel
#

Didn’t know they were doing a new he man either and that looks tacky too

#

I didn’t get a spidey trailer

outer tulip
#

Oh yeah I got 2 Zendaya trailers

foggy mirage
outer tulip
#

I got the he man too.. that actually looked decent

foggy mirage
#

Looks straight out of hannah barbera

outer tulip
#

Kinda funny idk

foggy mirage
#

Also I'm grabbing those new masters of the universe figures

#

Look really good

foggy mirage
#

I hated the last 3 with tom ngl

outer tulip
#

So question on that PHM movie/book || do they align the storytelling the same way in the book, where you don’t find out he was forced to go towards the end? ||

foggy mirage
#

New one actually looks like a Spiderman movie

tawny parcel
foggy mirage
#

This is just right out of my era

#

So it fits appropriately and is hitting every note it needs to

#

If they did this 100% serious

#

It would suck

foggy mirage

I doubt it

#

There will be a June bomb

#

But it ain't gotta be he man

😭

I just don’t know if masters of the universe has the pull that the execs think it does

Kids don’t know he man

Netflix She-Ra was pretty big

I guess that’s true if it stands enough in its own and gets good word of mouth that’s what matters most

foggy mirage

I think it'll end up selling well

It does have a lot of competition that month doesn't it

If I'm remembering right

Pixar is actually in a death spiral

tawny parcel
#

I think public reception to hoopers is decently positive but is it even doing well?

foggy mirage
#

Cause the amount of sequels is crazy

tawny parcel
#

Ellio didn’t perform well right?

near echo
#

Which is funny cuz they committed to all these sequels as their future and like
Hoppers is apparently doing pretty good for itself I think

#

Just make good movies it's that simple

Oh i haven’t lol I’ve only watched alien and aliens

#

And romulus

near echo
#

I've seen 1-4, AvP1 and Prometheus

tawny parcel
#

Romulus was good enough a little callback-y sometimes but thats how legacy sequels go

#

What it carves in its own identity is cool

near echo
#

I've heard it's extremely Alien Isolation

tawny parcel
#

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#

I guess

worthy crypt
#

i like pretty much all the ailen movies even the bad ones

tawny parcel
#

Romulus ||i just went away with the legacy sequel crap because everything it does on its own is very cool and classic alien||

near echo
#

There's stuff to like in 3 but I just find it a very unsubtle and sour film. Its just kinda in your face about being nasty and not even tense or scary as it does it.

Romulus ||i dont want to think about the old movies i want to see what cool things you can come up with yourself||

oathbringer 120 || goddamn this coulda been the final battle of a trilogy. I guess it kinda is? but the scale of this is kinda wild especially considering there was already a mini-climax 30% ago when they raided the colinar castle||

mild seal
#

man I love bob's burgers gags

tawny parcel
worthy crypt
#

i think it might be the best one so far. its close between this and the first one

#

oathbringer pretty close to end || elokhar's death is one of the most tragic ive come across. I didnt really care when jasna died, mentor dying too soon forcing the protégé to continue on is a pretty common trope. I also didnt care that much when I was expecting daliniar to die for the first two books. At that point i understood him as like an old honorable ideal who would inspire the next generation to live up to his standard. ||
|| But Elokhar is a man who has no great legacy to inspire others. He had only recently realized he was bad and needed to change. But he was doing it. He was becoming good, thats what him personally going to the city was about. The day of his death was the most heroic and notable day of his life and its not even close. The same theme plays out with daliniar as he resists odium's influence, he admits his guilt as a prerequistie for his willingness to change and concludes that the only step that matters is the next step. And for elokhar to have died at the very beginning of a similar path is a deep tragedy ||
|| the fact that hes cut down due to kaladin's hesitation furthers the tragedy. Kaladin was the heroic ideal that inspired him to change. And he was doing everything right as good as could be expected from that moment on but his heroic ideal failed him through no fault of his own ||

Finished the ritual

#

Okay movie

#

I think the performances were good and it was shot pretty well

#

The ritual ||I liked the first half of the movie quite a lot. The creature design is also unique and I like how it’s on screen a lot of times but you only notice it when it starts moving.

The second half was kinda random though. Can’t really put my finger on exactly what I disliked about it, there’s a few things but it mostly boils down to how they had to find a way to defeat this immortal god and this is the best they could do.

Horror movies do this quite a lot where they just nerf the demonic entities when it’s their turn to lose. Maybe I should read the novel but it felt like there might’ve been some holes in the adaptation. Like the wooden figure on the chair, and the “corpse” room in the final area.||

It's very good but the visuals I was expecting to blow me away but it didn't do that

but the emotional beats landed super well, and the scifi aspects were amazing

And it captured all parts of the book in the way it would suit the adaptation

#

9/10

#

It just chose the worst year to release man
We have scifi goats like Disclosure Day and Dune Part 3 coming up

@modern lichen did you watch PHM yet?

Wonderful adaptation

sage remnant

#

(Only half kidding. The memey special effects aside I actually liked it lol. While truncated and low budget it absolutely captures the characters, setting and appeal of the series and is pretty fun in its own right. Looking like an extended Power Rangers episode makes it cartoonish and silly but like, so is the source material c'mon now)

#

Project Hail Mary chose the worst year to release

#

with New Spielberg and Dune 3 coming

#

It's so good but no way its gonna compare to either of those

I wonder if new spielberg will do well hes kinda just been making whatever he wants as of late and theyve all bombed

I really liked west side story

I know bro

spielberg is allowed to make whatever he wants because he'll make a big studio cash cow like ready player one

Disclosure Day is a big studio film

And a passion project

tawny parcel

Yeah do I’m curious how it will do

#

Relative to his last two

#

That was all i was saying

It’ll do well because it’s a big movie and it’s aliens + Spielberg

Guaranteed hit

would you compare it to Truman show's ending bit or Parasite's

ig Parasite isn't a good comparison

truman show maybe

young compass

Maybe like Andy Kaufman lol

sage remnant

no idea who that is

young compass
#

I don’t know a good equivalent for csm honestly. I’m sure there’s a lot

#

Maybe Freddy got fingered lol

#

Oh you know what maybe four lions? I think four lions is a lot more genuine though

#

And also the other film by that director

#

which is probably a better comp and worse than four lions

#

They’re still very different

sage remnant
#

yeah four lions kinda could be. dk the other one

#

ty

young compass
#

Just in that four lions is a real setting makes it a lot different and more interesting

modern lichen
young compass
#

Wait you know what

young compass
#

Post office in particular

Seth Rohan’s observe and report lol

Idk it’s hard cause nothing like csm would get funded. It’s too blatantly allegorical and relying on anime crudeness and fandom bait to keep people’s interest

Nevernight early still ||Finally made it to the very entrance of the Red Church after escaping the sand krakens. I do enjoy reading Mia's backstory at the beginning of each chapter. The early chapters were especially unique in that Kristoff had both the past and present mirror each other with how he chose his words. Very cool and clever. I can't wait to experience a truedark though, sounds cool. Also, I'd rather die than live in this world where the suns only fully set like every 2-3 years. Screeeew that.||

Watched project Hail Mary

#

It was good, I like it a lot

near echo
#

It was real cute yeah

#

Project Hail Mary ||Now that I've had the week to settle my thoughts on it it didn't really like, wow me? Because it's kinda a greatest hits of the best of the last ~10 years of sci-fi and as a scifi nerd I've basically seen a lot of these beats before

But that's not a bad thing, it took those ideas, wove them together believably and used em for an excellent family movie that's just as funny and endearing as it is tense and grandiose. It just meant it didn't hit the highs of something more bold like Arrival or The Martian to me.

This is all kinda underhanded praise lol. Its like an 8.5/10 for me even tho I think it's perfectly executed for what it was trying to be, and I've been trying to figure out why that is.||

Project Hail Mary ||that said Rocky is an icon I love that guy||

yeah it only worked for me cuz like the torrent I had labelled them wrong and I watched the last one at first
So it felt like, the stuff that happened early that it was referencing, it was just the characters in world referencing their old events and with that assumption, that movie just worked for me lmao
