western-series

[modern lichen]

For me, 2 is associated with a lot of great memories

It takes a greater place in my heart than 4

Tho I can admit 4 is just a better story

[pale tapir]

I think it's different for me because I played the trilogy all at once with the collection

[modern lichen]

Yeah makes sense

[pale tapir]

And then 4 I played when I was ready

It came out, and I played a bit of it, but I took a break for like 2 years

And I finally finished it a bit before Law school

[modern lichen]

Nice

4 just hits very hard

[jade orbit]

Tom Holland as Drake doesn't really bother me but Marky Mark as Sully does
Considering Walburg is the type of dude who rolled fucking snake eyes on charisma

[modern lichen]

Lmao

[pale tapir]

I mean it all depends on the actors' chemistry

Maybe their chemistry brings out his charisma and just makes the script work better

Wahlberg did have some VERY subtle "sully-isms"

[jade orbit]

Should've just made a full movie based on that fanfilm Nathan Fillion did a couple years ago

[modern lichen]

Yeah, I'm waiting to be surprised when I actually watch the movie

That was a good one

Fillion would be great as the older Drake from U4

[pale tapir]

Nathan Fillion should be timeskip Nathan

[modern lichen]

[pale tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/uncharted-nathan-drake-gaming-spoof-cheers-gif-7468795

[modern lichen]

Have you seen the fan movie

[pale tapir]

Yes

[modern lichen]

Great stuff

[pale tapir]

I like Chloe's casting

[modern lichen]

It's a good time to be a movie fan

[pale tapir]

But I mean who doesn't love more Chloe

[modern lichen]

Chloe's casting I really like yeah

Well, Lost Legacy was great too

Man I wanna replay Lost Legacy now

Very entertaining

[pale tapir]

I never played LL

But I probably should

[modern lichen]

Yeah please do

Very fun game

[pale tapir]

I'm really happy that Naughty Dog did what they did

Told a good story about Nathan's life, and let the franchise retire

[modern lichen]

Yeah very true

They didn't milk him dry

Man, I just saw that Indian Jones 5 got delayed as well

Why

[pale tapir]

Shit. I didn't mean to spoil by accident

[pale tapir]

I hate to say it but my expectations after Kingdom are kinda low

[modern lichen]

Fair lmaoo

Actually I rewatched Kingdom recently and it was quite ok

Not as bad as I remember too

[pale tapir]

I'm very curious about what convinced them to do a fifth movie though

[modern lichen]

Spielberg isn't doing it tho

[pale tapir]

It must have been a crazy script

Which might be a good thing

[modern lichen]

James Mangold is directing it now

The guy who did Logan, I'm fairly ok with that choice 😭

[modern lichen]

Apparently Ford really loved it

[pale tapir]

Mangold's not a bad choice, but Harrison Ford as Indie again surprises me. I'm not against it

I actually like that this franchise is one of the few that's so old now but hasn't been touched in terms of rebooting

[modern lichen]

Gonna tag this just in case. Indy 5 || I think this is gonna be his final movie where he finally maybe he dies? He's old enough? ||

[pale tapir]

||I feel like all good characters die in the 5th film|| No Time to Die

[modern lichen]

Man, Raiders is one of my favourite movies ever, consistently at the top of even my favourites list, it's just a great movie

Exactly what I mean, Strong

😭

[pale tapir]

Raiders is just straight up a great movie

I like The Last Crusade a little better

But I loved Raiders

[modern lichen]

I prefer Raiders but Crusade is a great movie

Temple is underrated but it's very entertaining

[pale tapir]

Temple is hilarious and has aged very badly for me

In terms of all the racism

[modern lichen]

"She talks in her sleep"

[pale tapir]

Also Sean Connery is just... a problematic man.

[modern lichen]

Temple with the uh.. just insane racism but I enjoyed it because of just how entertaining it is

Connery.. yeah well

Yeah

#NotTheBestBond

[pale tapir]

I don't understand why saying Craig is the best bond is a bad take

[modern lichen]

I don't know either but after No Time To Die it has solidified in a lot of people's minds I think, hopefully

Just no other bond has had such an arc with so many good movies under his belt

[pale tapir]

Yeah. Honestly the only one I don't like is QoS

[jade orbit]

Controversial take but I've always though the Mission Impossible movies were better than most James Bond movies tbh

[modern lichen]

There's just 1 stinker under Craig, 2 great movies, 1 good movie

Avenge, I'm inclined to believe that tbh

[pale tapir]

Because of how it ||Treated certain women|| QoS

[jade orbit]

Tbh I'd rather watch QoS for|| the car chase right at the start|| Spectre was just kind of mid to me

[modern lichen]

I mean, Skyfall is guilty of that too right? But I think the story is more justified due to the character arc in that movie

[pale tapir]

1, 3, 5 = good stuff. 2= trash. Hot trash, thank goodness they took a few years off. 4= good for par

[pale tapir]

Yes. I had a huge problem with the depiction of the treatment that character you're referencing in Skyfall

[jade orbit]

I am convinced that one day Tom Cruise is going to end up killing himself doing one of the crazy MI stunts though

[modern lichen]

1 very good, 2 hot garbage, 3 just ok, 4 great, 5 love it, 6 how is it getting better

[pale tapir]

||She had been trafficked and abused her whole life. James should not have slept with her|| 007 Skyfall

[modern lichen]

That's my mission impossible feeling chart

[modern lichen]

[pale tapir]

I agree

[modern lichen]

My biggest problem with the film

[jade orbit]

Good take

[pale tapir]

I think honestly, even though Fall out was great

[modern lichen]

Skyfall || and the way she dies, that's not it ||

[pale tapir]

Rogue Nation might have been my favorite

[pale tapir]

That was so fucked /:

[modern lichen]

Man...

What I love about Rogue Nation and Fallout is that they're essentially one story but both installments just work to an incredible measure

McQuarrie achieved a miracle there

You can watch both of them together in one sitting and enjoy them immensely

[barren temple]

Sure fine I'll watch them then

[modern lichen]

Or you can watch the two films separate from each other and come to enjoy them equally as much

[barren temple]

Sheesh

[modern lichen]

Start from the beginning, skip 2

That's all I will tell you in that regard if you're wanting watch them

Nothing happens in 2, it's boring and is trash

[barren temple]

Makes sense

[modern lichen]

No Time to Die || this is why I loved the ending to James arc, he truly embraces love and dies peacefully having known that he forgave Vesper, felt regret for all he did and died for Madeline and Mathilde. Emotional payoff that just is incredible ||

[pale tapir]

This is true

Also ||I love Mallory. As great as Judi Dench was was M, Mallory really has come into his own as the morally questionable head of MI6|| No Time To Die

[weary jolt]

Oh shite, I just saw that spoiler by accident and I haven’t watched the film yet

[modern lichen]

No Time to Die || I found myself laughing how he just fucking tries to hide shit only for James to uncover it and let Q and Moneypenny know 😭 ||

[pale tapir]

||LMAO His reaction when James called him || No Time To Die

[weary jolt]

Scrolling up on a phone is not a safe thing to do anymore ):

[pale tapir]

||Also respect to Nomi for calling him out and being like "wreck his shit james"|| No Time to Die

[modern lichen]

No Time to Die || his character arc from Skyfall to this last film is an impeccable thing as well, just the evolution of his thought process ||

[modern lichen]

[pale tapir]

James, or M's?

[modern lichen]

M

[pale tapir]

Yeah

||Mallory was a little too "buddy buddy" with James in Spectre, which is fine, but I like my M with a bit more "You're kinda fucked up" vibes thrown in there|| NTTD

[modern lichen]

No Time to Die || love how James just ignores protocol and calls him Mallory lmaoo ||

[barren temple]

No time to die || Nomi was such a great addition to the movie too. I loved every moment she was on screen. ||

[pale tapir]

Yes

I really really ||Want her to just continue a spinoff series where she's 007|| NTTD

||It's fine if they recast James, but keep Nomi imho|| 007 NTTD

[modern lichen]

No Time to Die || love how the "want a ride" thing evolved too ||

No Time to Die || RIP Felix Leiter you incredible man, we shall miss you ||

[pale tapir]

||Felix is an interesting character. I'm surprised at how deep the callbacks were in this one, but I appreciate it deeply|| 007 NTTD

Also my favorite scene of the movie was ||After Felix died and James returned to London and walked into MI6 like he owned the place|| NTTD

[modern lichen]

No Time to Die || love how when James is about push the car on Logan he calls Leiter his brother I felt so bittersweet, they went out in the same movie like they were introduced in the same movie ||

All in all, very good movie

[crimson lance]

Lucifer chapter 15

Lucifer chapter 15 || I really like elaine, shes an interesting protagonist. kinda reminds me of coraline ||

[rich meadow]

@brave orbit Can I read Stormlight Archieve before Mistborn?

[brave orbit]

Yesssss

I did

[modern lichen]

Evan, Mistborn and Stormlight are taking place in the same universe called Cosmere but on different worlds

[rich meadow]

I know but I know there tends to be a preferred reading order and from what I can gather, most people start with mistborn

[brave orbit]

They are all self contained stories but there is references to other stuff

[modern lichen]

Oh if you want that then Spice has an order you can follow if you want to check out Cosmere as a whole

[brave orbit]

Stormlight doesn't have too many references to Mistborn early on, but it does have a lot of Warbreaker (standalone) references

[rich meadow]

Yeah I was intending to read all of Cosmere but my local barnes and noble only has Stormlight in stock so thinking I'll just start with Way of Kings

[modern lichen]

You can either start with Mistborn or Stormlightz won't matter much

Yeah good idea

Way of King is great

[brave orbit]

Warbreaker is free as a pdf fyi

on sanderson's site

[rich meadow]

is that one of the shorter novellas?

[brave orbit]

But I suggest this reading order:
Way of kings

• Warbreaker
  Words of radiance
  Edgedancer
  Oathbringer
  Dawnshard
  Rhythm of war

[brave orbit]

Nope it's another story but it's standalone

around 500 pages long

[rich meadow]

gotcha

[brave orbit]

But you can use this

[rich meadow]

nice tysm

[brave orbit]

start with either way of kings or warbreaker, depends if you don't want to take a break to read another series

https://www.brandonsanderson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Warbreakerfull6.1.pdf

This is the pdf for warbreaker

TUC 14 || this chick Baek Hyang is surviving way too long yo. I cant believe she straight up broke the Barrier staff. Hoping she goes down for good next episode 🙏😫 ||

he cant give us world breaker hulk

get a new actor for the love of god

[hoary hawk]

yea

i can do it

let me drive the boat

[sonic quail]

sell yourself

[crimson lance]

highly doubt this is real

[hoary hawk]

that's my secret, i'm ALWAYS ANGRY

[sage sleet]

tf is world war hulk lmao

also it appears the show i'm watching isn't called across the universe

but instead it's called another life lol

[outer tulip]

I kinda agree.. I preferred Ed Nortons

[sonic quail]

same

[sage sleet]

ruffalo's version is too passive

too...beta

he's the hey haha hey guys look am hulk hehe

[sonic quail]

way more interesting dynamic

ruffalo just sucks in general tbh

i dont even feel like hes acting

[sage sleet]

i dont mind him personally i just feel like hulk is so pulled back

to the point people care more about hawkeye

[hoary hawk]

tbf hes only had cameos

[sonic quail]

ye i meant in the mcu my bad

[hoary hawk]

he hasnt even had his own movie

[sonic quail]

true

they dont give him much to work with

[hoary hawk]

hes had to play a diff version of hulk in every movie

[sage sleet]

like what you like but if you like hawkeye more than hulk im gonna start wondering what's wrong with hulk

they goofed his character so much

[sonic quail]

i liked ronin more than hulk

[sage sleet]

lol

[sonic quail]

as fast as that was

[sage sleet]

but tbh alb fair bc like if im bein fr

[hoary hawk]

i cant believe u would say that, al

[sage sleet]

all i remember from hulk in all of mcu is ragnarok

[sonic quail]

ragnaraok was good

[sage sleet]

there was a lil in ultron but zzz

[sonic quail]

but hulk was just comedy

[outer tulip]

yea i loved ragnorak

[sonic quail]

didnt find him all that interesting

[sage sleet]

but that part with ronin was much more impactful

exactly alb

yeah rag was great

[sonic quail]

ronin kind of offered a lot in a small amount of time, there was potential

i wanted to know what he was going through, the internal conflict, the grieving and the coping

[crimson lance]

hulk fights every marvel character

[barren temple]

Idk I always liked the mcu hulk stuff

[sonic quail]

its comedic fun

but i always wanted more

[barren temple]

It's not what we could've gotten but yk

Mark ruffalos a god

[sage sleet]

hulk on a black couch in the middle of the room with all the avengers surrounding him

[sonic quail]

hulk couldve been as great as thor if he got his own movies id say

[hoary hawk]

yea

hulk if he had his own movies

woulda been more liked

[sage sleet]

did people like or dislike the hulk x BW stuff

[barren temple]

Would've looked forward to them remaking a hulk movie yeah

[outer tulip]

technically the incredible hulk is mcu

but that's the ed norton one

[barren temple]

Idk it was weird to me

Felt like a forced romance subplot

Soap opera style

[sonic quail]

oh u mean shrek and fiona?

yea idk wtf they were thinking

[barren temple]

[sonic quail]

at least the OG abomination is still in the mcu

so we have potential for a rematch

[barren temple]

Imagine a hulk movie with James Gunn directing it

Fuck

[outer tulip]

yeah that would be crazy

[sonic quail]

guardians director?

what else has he made

never liked the guardians movies all that much mostly because of the cast ig

[sage sleet]

suicide squad

scooby doo movie

the iconic ones

he had a hand in that evil superman movie

[sonic quail]

yea hes got the stuff

[sage sleet]

crazy how much better movies are when the suits give full control to directors

[sinful vessel]

Fantastic Four 1961 Issue 4 ||Yeah let me just take a drink while completely invisible out in the open and freak everyone out ||

I got reminded of the tragedy with brandon lee too, really sad stuff

[unkempt umbra]

Wtf

[outer tulip]

So this is my last day reading Way of Kings. I’ve really enjoyed this book and excited for the next

[feral blaze]

Oh

[unique cosmos]

Bruh

I am astounded

I went into Rise of the TMNT expecting to at least have some fun, but I was completely blown away by what I got.

I couldn’t stop watching

It’s just so good

Too bad the second season got cut down though, I could definitely see where it could’ve used more time.

But for what it is, it’s incredible.

But now I’m really worried about how my experience with the 2012 show is gonna go.

I wasn’t expecting to go through two banger series in a row

[dim hedge]

Stranger things || god steve was such an ass in season 1 though i can kinda understand it here ||

[crimson lance]

never expected alec baldwin to murder a woman and nearly kill another

[modern lichen]

That's not murder

A prop gun went off

[crimson lance]

murder manslaughter small difference

[modern lichen]

There's a big difference

Lmao

It doesn't even fall directly under his hands there to be considered manslaughter too

But anyways

This discussion better be done here

[regal root]

I imagine the ensuing lawsuit is gonna be massive following this

[unique cosmos]

I think harsh is saying ix-nay on the iscussion-day

[regal root]

Ah

Kk

[brave orbit]

YOOO

[hybrid marsh]

Forgot to mention I finished the third mistborn book a few days ago. It was great. Definitely my favourite of the 3. The Hero of Ages spoilers ||I think everything after the reveal that the Reen voice in Vins head was also Ruin is gold. Never expected to end the trilogy liking Spook as much as I did as well. Sad Vin and Elend died though||

[copper phoenix]

mistborn ending || spook is awesome. What do you think about sazed tho? ||

also you gonna read era 2?

at least read secret history, it's really short but packed with lore

wait nvm secret history is better after era 2

I'm just always mistaking the order because that's how I read it back in the day lol

[modern lichen]

batman zero year

[hybrid marsh]

Mistborn book 3 ending ||Sazed was cool and I really enjoyed his arc. Didn't expect him to become a god though I did expect Ruin and Preservation to be combined in some way even though I know that isn't technically what happened when Sazed took them both||

[modern lichen]

batman zero year

[hybrid marsh]

Yeah already started Alloy of Law. Definitely plan to read secret history after even if I got spoiled for one thing from it or at least I think I did.

Batman is the most adapted superhero ever

Into film and TV

But this specific movie has 1 teaser and 1 main trailer

ah nice

i’ll watch real quick

is it a standalone film

[copper phoenix]

its not out yet

[regal root]

Looks like it as of now

[dim hedge]

ah i see

[regal root]

But if it kills it in the box office then who knows?

[modern lichen]

Standalone trilogy

Entirely separate from the DC universe

[copper phoenix]

wait its confirmed trilogy?

Yeah

[finite edge]

Hey y’all just a quick question

How far do you think Invincible would get in the One Piece world

Like who’s the strongest he could take down

[hybrid marsh]

Mistborn Secret history ||It was Kelsier being Thaidakar or however you spell the name||

[copper phoenix]

big oof

[hybrid marsh]

Kind of sucks but honestly spoilers out of context don't usually ruin my experience

[copper phoenix]

idk if makes things better but (mistborn secret history / stormlight) || he was called "lord of scars" at the end of row and there is only one character in the whole cosmere which is famous for his scars ||

[hybrid marsh]

Ah yeah that makes sense

[modern lichen]

batman zero year

[white smelt]

what is year zero

never heard of it before

is this snyder and whats his face

[modern lichen]

this is from the new 52 run

snyder and capullo

greg capullo

[white smelt]

yee

[modern lichen]

i'm rereading the snyder and capullo run

its incredible

batman zero year

batman zero year

[white smelt]

neat, I always like capullo's art

[modern lichen]

yeah the entire run consistently has great pencils by capullo

[dire lichen]

Ford truly is a master

[hybrid marsh]

Well how green was it?

[dire lichen]

[dim hedge]

what i wanna figure out is how green even became their valley

[scenic frost]

Just watxhed the ABC murders ep of Poirot

Man these feature length eps are so damn great

Mind blown

[modern lichen]

[scenic frost]

Dude I am gonna read one of the books now man

Christie has got me gripped

Any suggestions? Or should I just pick a random one from the ones I haven't watched?

[modern lichen]

Orient Express, Roger Aykroyd, Death on the Nile, ABC Murders, Death in the Clouds

[scenic frost]

Alright then Orient express it will be on Sunday

[modern lichen]

Finish the series firsy

[scenic frost]

I am not gonna switch entirely to books, since it feels too big a commitment and the series is great too

[modern lichen]

You can then go back and see how they were adapted as well

Just some of them

[scenic frost]

I wanna experience one of these stories as the writer intended

I think knowing the final outcome of a mystery will significantly change how it feels on reading

Scratch that

I know it does

[modern lichen]

It doesn't because I have experienced that with this series having read all the novels later

The opposite with Sherlock because I read the books first

[scenic frost]

I find that hard to believe

[modern lichen]

??

[scenic frost]

It has happened to me with sherlock

Like not that I watched it first

I already knew the hound of baskervilles because I had read a super abridged version of it

And then original didn't feel fun at all

[modern lichen]

It's about adaptation

You reading an abridged version of the same story is different

But with a TV show, they change stuff to make it more palatable to the screen than the book

[scenic frost]

Is it that different?

Like ik Sherlock had very big changes

I thought Poirot was mostly faithful?

[modern lichen]

The feeling of reading a book with all the prose as how the author intended to deliver the mysteries and how the producers of the show adapt the stories

[scenic frost]

Sherlock s2 ||I am still not over how they massacred Adler||

[modern lichen]

Sherlock is a bad example here

Because it's a completely different story in the series

[scenic frost]

Well it's my only example so forgive me for that 😂😂

[modern lichen]

It doesn't retain a lot of anything in the story

[scenic frost]

But I get what you mean

[scenic frost]

Yeah I noticed how the similarities were only generic things and not really faithful to the story at all

[modern lichen]

Or, if you want to read Christie independently, read And Then There Were None. A great mystery story but not with Poirot

[scenic frost]

I am gonna both read and watch Poirot

I will read some of the ones you mentioned

Watch the eps too sure no problem with that

Now that it's feature length I am restricting it to 1 ep a day

[modern lichen]

If anything, Sherlock destroys a lot of the original stories' impact with the bullshit it pulls trying to one-up the original stories

[modern lichen]

Yeah good idea that

Also, update me on the Batman read progress

I'm interested

[scenic frost]

Yeah I am gonna read the 2nd one tomorrow

I read some of moon knight

The first epic collection

[modern lichen]

Hm the old one? Yeah

[scenic frost]

It started off well but sorta lost me after about a 2/5ths in

Less than that

Tachi had 5 parts I got through like one and half parts maybe

I think that's kust me trying to read too much

[modern lichen]

Well.. try the new runs later

[scenic frost]

Should pace it better

[modern lichen]

A better gateway to comics is through characters like Batman, Superman or Daredevil

[scenic frost]

Aight then I will check batman tomorrow

And Orient express the day after

After that idk

[modern lichen]

You have the list I gave you

So it should be fine

That screenshot of the convo with Star works well

And then you can get into it much better later

I'll give you a list of Superman stories and Daredevil stories after you're done

A lot of people here are reading Batman comics based on the list I gave them

Lmaoo

[sinful vessel]

Two weeks until Eternals comes out

[rocky crown]

[feral kettle]

possibly best mcu

[outer tulip]

Can’t wait 😆

I got my ticket for that Sunday

[broken fossil]

It’s dune time

So many good reviews , some saying best sci fi movie in over a decade

No surprise if dune was done well , the books are a sci fi goldmine

[modern lichen]

Still amazing that it's just the set up apparent

Found this, I'm just wheezing lmao

This was before BVS 😭

[crimson lance]

something like this probably exist for patterson too

[modern lichen]

Pattinson? Yeah

[crimson lance]

probably will exist for the next batman

[modern lichen]

There was

[crimson lance]

and then the next too

[modern lichen]

Nah

[crimson lance]

Did you see how kristen stewart is open to the idea of playing joker

[modern lichen]

There are a lot of fancasts that people genuinely want

[crimson lance]

there are but theres also just as many people who oppose them

no actor will ever be good enough for a big character like batman, not to everyone

[modern lichen]

Kristen Stewart said that's not gonna happen but she wants to play someone unhinged instead

She didn't mention Joker either

It was just that she was amused by it or something

[crimson lance]

im going to reread that now

[modern lichen]

I'm not sure about it so don't go for my word

I remember it being that

[crimson lance]

okay she said she loves "The energy behind that" but wouldnt want to be joker but a similar role

maybe not in batman

[modern lichen]

Yeah so I was right there yeah cool

[crimson lance]

Kinda hope we dont get a joker if we get more batman with pattison

[modern lichen]

I don't need a Joker

I'm tired

[crimson lance]

yeah

im sure theres someone out there who can do a good joker still, but weve seen so much of joker

[modern lichen]

There are so many other great Batman villains in the rogues gallery

I'm extremely happy they're going for the Riddler and putting a spin on him in this way

[crimson lance]

Who would you want to see

[modern lichen]

Two Face, Scarecrow

I need more two face actually

[crimson lance]

Not really a fan of two face but i like scarecrow

[modern lichen]

Not enough two face

[crimson lance]

Ive never been exposed to a good version of two face

so for me its just the guy from batman dark knight

[outer tulip]

Hope you enjoy it! I watched it last night and I really liked it

[modern lichen]

The animated series will

[outer tulip]

Sequel needs to come ASAP fr

[modern lichen]

I like TDK two face

Different take

But the animated series Two Face is the gold standard when it comes to adaptations

[crimson lance]

i started watching brave and the bolfd the other day

its fun, hope it has more serious moments though

right now its just batman seeing if these rookie heroes are good or not

[modern lichen]

Mad Hatter and Mister Freeze as well

Brave and the Bold doesn't do serious much

If you want a balance of serious and funny watch the animated series

The definitive Batman animated adaptation

[crimson lance]

yeah i will sooner or later

also going to watch batman beyond

and superman the animated series

[modern lichen]

Might as well check the DCAU

[crimson lance]

I probably will, but wont watch most of the movies

[modern lichen]

Go from the chronological order of series

[crimson lance]

dont need to see badly adapted comics

[modern lichen]

Yeah just watch Return of the Joker movie for Batman Beyond

For good comic adaptations animated, watch Under the Red Hood

Superior to the comic I must say

The Dark Knight Returns is good but I suggest reading it first

[crimson lance]

Lucifer chapter 19 || this was very good ||

i gotta be careful posting lucifer pages because half of them have nudity hidden in some corner

[modern lichen]

Lmao

[crimson lance]

Do you know if any of the artist who worked on sandman also work on lucifer?

[modern lichen]

The artist of the issue you're reading worked on sandman I believe

The penultimate arc

I'm not sure

[crimson lance]

really

[modern lichen]

I'm gonna check

I don't remember

[crimson lance]

i want to say lucifer looks like || loki a bit, but i might be imagining it ||

sandman spoilers

[modern lichen]

Looks like it will take time I can't bother

[crimson lance]

cant even google this shit because all that comes up is articles about why the lucifer actor wont be in sandman

and why game of thrones lady will be

im going to try and watch dune now it better nto suck

[outer tulip]

Doom Patrol s3 e7 || damn the eternal flagellation was Rita’s thing all along! I’m kinda nervous to see how this plays out but the flashback scene hit kinda hard ||

@barren temple lmk what you think of this and last weeks episode… pretty twisty stuff

[feral kettle]

waa not caught up with doom patrol

[crimson lance]

So much of the sopranos cast is also in good fellas

[feral kettle]

The only one i know is spider and chris being the same actor

didnt even recognize him from thst either

[crimson lance]

Sopranos and goodfellas || Paulie from sopranos is a background character and jennifer melfi the therapist is henrys wife||

[feral kettle]

Lmao how did i not recognize her wtf

Holy shit theres 27 actors in both casts

[outer tulip]

I remember seeing a few but had no idea it was 27, that’s insane

[crimson lance]

Yeah crazy

So few italian actors i guess

[outer tulip]

Yeah possibly

I wander if the two have anything in common production wise

[crimson lance]

Quite possibly

[crimson lance]

Finished good fellas

Great movie

Liked it a lot more than mean streets

[barren temple]

It's one of my favorites yeah

[barren temple]

Finally starting now, I'm on ep 6. Will report back shortly

[sinful vessel]

Fantastic Four 1961 Issue 4 ||I really like the way this describes how long Namor has been on Earth||

[barren temple]

@outer tulip doom patrol ep 6 || WAIT THE BIRD GUY WAS THE GUY IN THE AFTERLIFE HOLY SHIT ||

[sage sleet]

ty dune

[hoary hawk]

u seen it yet?

[sage sleet]

nah

[hoary hawk]

btw i watched dune yesterday in theater. i personally recommend everyone to watch it in theaters if they can at least once, it was visually and audibly one of the best things ever

@vapid marlin since i knew you were curious

[sage sleet]

yeah heard this is one of those theatre>

i was gonna look to see how full that kid movie is lol but dune said nah

[hoary hawk]

it visually blew me away

and on top of that, the sound was actually something i was mesmerized by

[vapid marlin]

ty for ping, yeah trailer gave off that feel. It definitely looks visually appealing

[hoary hawk]

i did dolby for that purpose

[vapid marlin]

Probably something that happened in the dune movie, I didn't watch it ||Bet when the worm showed up it was all bass and sounded great||

[hoary hawk]

like it was dune part 1 so i can withstand the ||mostly world building for more shiz in the future|| but visuals/sound alone, amazing

[hoary hawk]

IT WAS

lmaooo

[vapid marlin]

[hoary hawk]

||when the worm shows up, you get enveloped into it. i was actually surprised||dune

[vapid marlin]

glad to hear that

my worries about the movie were mostly character and lore based but I'm glad to hear that the audiovisual aspect is up to par

[hoary hawk]

yea i cant honestly discuss characters

without spoiling

[vapid marlin]

yeee

[hoary hawk]

buttttt

[vapid marlin]

may try to get my roommate to watch it tn

[hoary hawk]

i can def see people's complains already

world building for a new series is huge

[sage sleet]

i thought i'd casually go n see it but i guess the fuck not

site crashed smh

[hoary hawk]

but i think recent blockbuster movies have tunneled people into wanting action, action, action

so it will definitely displease an audience

[vapid marlin]

Dune ||If it's really thick with the worldbuilding and shit like that then that's probably a good sign, the book is amazingly dense with that type of shit||

[hoary hawk]

but i personally didnt mind just staring/hearing for 2 hours 40 mins haha

[vapid marlin]

2 hours 40 mins huh

PHEW

quite a long one

[outer tulip]

Ngl it was a lot of concept to grasp and || they included a lot in the first like 45 minutes || if I hadn’t read the book I would’ve been lost

[hoary hawk]

||ive never read it but i could tell the movie was trying to potray some of those smaller book moments. like idk the rat looking thing in the desert and the focus on it for a little bit and other small stuff like that|| dune

[outer tulip]

Well tbf I only got through 100 pages but that was enough

[hoary hawk]

LOL

im assuming the book is much bigger than that

[vapid marlin]

dune is fuckin... thick, dude

it's not a super long book tbh but like...it's just really dense

[outer tulip]

No it is … I just put it down and forgot to pick it back up

[hoary hawk]

i honestly didnt get lost

though ||the dreams were definitely a bit confusing for me|| dune

[vapid marlin]

it's like 400 pages or smth

[outer tulip]

Yeah that’s not too bad

[hoary hawk]

is it just one book or is it a series?

[vapid marlin]

not incredibly long yeah

The movies are gonna be covering only the first book, but there are more

[outer tulip]

Ngl though after watching the movie, I was def pronouncing all the names wrong in my head haha

[hoary hawk]

wait

thats crazy LOL

that movie was 160 mins

lmao

[vapid marlin]

"Dune" is just one book but there are a couple others after

[outer tulip]

I didn’t know that

[vapid marlin]

I'm glad it was hella long lol, the book is seriously packed full of shit

[sonic quail]

wanna see dune tonight

[hoary hawk]

watch it al

and def in a theater

[sonic quail]

gotta find a nerd to see it with

[vapid marlin]

I'll see if my roommate wants to tn

[sonic quail]

all my friends are cool

[hoary hawk]

what is this idea going around

[outer tulip]

Yeah def go see it in theaters

[hoary hawk]

that dune is for nerds

LOL

i thought marvel made nerd shit cool now

[sonic quail]

dune will be cool NOW

[crimson lance]

because dune was the big sci-fi book with no main stream adapatation for a long time

[sonic quail]

cuz its got zendaya

[crimson lance]

now it has a main stream adapatation

[vapid marlin]

it had one will but

it wasn't good

[outer tulip]

Zendaya was just ok in the film antway

[hoary hawk]

it literally stars timothee chamalet, zendaya, jason momoa, osscar isac, stellan skarsgard

and so much more

[crimson lance]

yeah it failed righgt

[sonic quail]

anyway nobody i know read dune except for the person that got me into it

[crimson lance]

aka wasnt main stream

[vapid marlin]

yeah

[hoary hawk]

those are some of the coolest actors

you can find

[crimson lance]

it didnt have a very popular director and several currently popular stars

[vapid marlin]

you know David lynch did the screenplay for that

[hoary hawk]

and i didnt even mention thanos josh brolin himself

[outer tulip]

I don’t get zendayas hype though

[crimson lance]

yeah i know hes invovled

[vapid marlin]

one of those movies he royally fucked up

IMO

[crimson lance]

shes pretty

and she was on disney channel

[vapid marlin]

i like him though as staff

[hoary hawk]

i mean true ||but she had like 20 lines lmao and didnt star till the end, like thats a bit rough|| dune

[outer tulip]

This all I care about lol

[vapid marlin]

he probably got bullied into trying to adapt the whole book in a 2 hour movie

[hoary hawk]

wait

[crimson lance]

did this movie not adapt it all??

[hoary hawk]

david lynch did the original dune?

[vapid marlin]

it's half

Yeah

[crimson lance]

I thought this movie adapated the entire first book, and the sequel will adapt the sequel book

[hoary hawk]

lmao

[outer tulip]

|| right, that’s why I was upset about the length cause I wanted it to be longer showing her arc more, but guess I’ll just wait for sequel || dune

[hoary hawk]

no

i havent even read the first book

[vapid marlin]

As far as I know it's half of the first book

[hoary hawk]

but this did not adapt an entire book

it possibly cant have

[crimson lance]

i tried watching dune this morning but it wouldnt fucking load

hbo max was refusing to play it

[sage sleet]

cmon man i just wanna take my brother to a shitty kids movie

[vapid marlin]

Fate how did it end

[outer tulip]

Yeah it just ends tbh

[crimson lance]

got 5 minutes in before i quit

[vapid marlin]

ok nvm

I just googled it quick

it is only the first half

[outer tulip]

I mean it ended at a good spot imo

[hoary hawk]

||him finding the fremen and going off with them to learn the way of the desert|| dune end, fats

[vapid marlin]

ahhh

that's a good spot

[hoary hawk]

||i personally found jessicas character to be very.. interesting, i wanna see what purpose she serves|| dune

[outer tulip]

Favorite scene || when Lady Jessica used the voice on the Harkonnens.. so bad ass || dune

Jinx fate

[vapid marlin]

Dune ||Jessica at least in the books is my favorite character bar none, one of my favorite women in fiction||

[hoary hawk]

i could def tell LOL

i just couldnt tell if it was hollywood tryna do that

or if it was actually books

but am glad to hear that

[outer tulip]

I think her casting was perfect

[hoary hawk]

oh loved it

[outer tulip]

Fats, do you like Rebecca Ferguson?

[vapid marlin]

||I was worried they were gonna give Chani too much attention since she's young and hollywood likes to buff up young romances in movies, but I'm glad jessica seems to have got her shine||

[outer tulip]

For me this was a roles she really owned

[sonic quail]

yea that actually is a good ending

[vapid marlin]

I'm not familiar with her nami

ugh, I should totally go see it tonight

if my roommate wakes up

[outer tulip]

wake his ass up!

[hoary hawk]

||lol i was watching the movie and jessica was def the second main character. chani gets almost no attention whatsoever till the end aside from the dreams, it is paul and jessica. little bit of duncan and leto but thats it|| dune

[vapid marlin]

this convo makes me really want to know how they handled certain things

[hoary hawk]

sorry ik you've already read, u dont gotta click on it

LOL

[vapid marlin]

no I am really really happy to hear that man

thank GOD

[outer tulip]

Most people I’ve seen talk about it on Twitter have been raving the handle tbh

[vapid marlin]

That's how it is in the book as well

exactly as you described fate

[hoary hawk]

but bro

[vapid marlin]

[hoary hawk]

what they did with stellan skarsgard..

man..

the skarsgard family is insane lmao

[outer tulip]

☠️

I honestly didn’t pay attention to the cast like that and ain’t realize that was him

[hoary hawk]

bro

i had to know it was him

most ppl wouldnt do that

lmao

[outer tulip]

There was a lottttt of actors I didn’t know were in the film

[hoary hawk]

i think ive seen the top 10 actors

in the film

somewhere in the last 5 years

all well known

[outer tulip]

yeah Letos was in Star Wars

[hoary hawk]

david dastmalchian is another one

was recently in the suicide squad

[outer tulip]

Oh right

I also didn’t know Stephen Henderson was in it

Which is funny cause I was literally watching Lincoln the night before

[sonic quail]

think imma just see it when i get off work and skip the gym

yea imma see it in imax

havent done that in forever

[barren temple]

@outer tulip doom patrol s3 ep 7 ||this season pulls off so many things so well I can't handle it. All these different themes coming together and somehow working, then adding this time travel feedback loop and.... what I'm trying to say is I'm enjoying this a lot ||

|| I still don't know how Niles factors into all that though, him telling the bureau to terminate her and everything. Very interested to see that relationship ||

[hoary hawk]

i legit did this yesterday

lmao

usually go to gym and on a whim went to go watch it

didnt regret it at all

[sonic quail]

look at us

idk im just tired of seeing good movies alone

people only ever wanna see the garbage shit

like halloween kills

which i admit was a very fun group experience

[finite cypress]

dune || shame they dint show the dinner scene||

[outer tulip]

|| right! I was worried the whole dada thing wouldn’t pan out but man did they deliver. And yeah to your second point, I was confused on Nile’s involvement in all this… the only scene I can remember was Rita being fascinated with his file in 1917 and Laura was curious about that. So maybe there’s some undiscovered relationship there?? || doom patrol

[hoary hawk]

now im curious as to what this was

[outer tulip]

|| and btw kudos to spotting Malcolms reference from ep 3… I really hadn’t catched that at first || doom patrol

[finite cypress]

iirc ||alot of cloak and dagger stuff||

i like that kind of shit

[sage sleet]

i like going to the movies alone sometimes

[outer tulip]

|| was this during the time of the movie or events after? || dune

[sage sleet]

but overall i like going with friends

[hoary hawk]

pasto

i will be honest

[finite cypress]

sadly i gave up on going to cinema with the amount of shitty stuff ive experienced

[hoary hawk]

last 7 movies

ive watched alone

and i loved it

[outer tulip]

I love seeing movies alone too

[hoary hawk]

so many of my friends have opinions

that ruin the movie for me

for instance im gonna watch dune again this saturday

[finite cypress]

||it happened after they landed in Arrakis and they invited some VIP people for dinner ||

[hoary hawk]

but i already know what their complains will be

and it might have hinged my opinion if it my first time watching

[barren temple]

I feel that

[sage sleet]

i like seeing em alone if the theatre isn't many people

[finite cypress]

i hate movie watchers who keeps asking me what happened
BITCH WE WATHCING THIS TOGETHER

[outer tulip]

|| oh interesting… who were the VIPs? || dune

[hoary hawk]

thats my brother

my whole life

[outer tulip]

Oh no I hate that

[barren temple]

You gotta watch movies with your cultured friends

Dw I'll go with you

[outer tulip]

I remember seeing tenet with a friend and they kept asking me question like I was supposed to know what was going to be revealed later lmao

[hoary hawk]

Well tbf that movie was just super confusing

[finite cypress]

dune ||there where alot i dont remember all of it but there was this banker guy. that part had a shit ton of tension on it since some of them are insecure over the Atreides family i think they where attacking Paul at one point ||

[hoary hawk]

Can’t blame them for that One

[outer tulip]

Fair enough.. but I was mad cause I was just as lost as they were lol

[outer tulip]

|| ah gotcha… so it was kinda just plot development. That sounds like a dope scene tbh || dune

[finite cypress]

dune || im happy we get to see worm riding .. sad they dint explain why people use swords/blades over guns ||

im a sucker for espionage stuff

[outer tulip]

Dune || honestly I didn’t really get how the whole armour thing worked, it seemed really finicky… maybe that was better explained in the book? ||

[finite cypress]

theres some weird part about that in the movie that i find weird

[finite cypress]

||gurney mentioned it for a moment during the sparing scene.. fast hitting blades gets blocked by it while slow moving ones penetrates it.. so they invented this special fighting technique that utilized that||

[outer tulip]

|| oohhhh... I thought he was just making a joke lmao, like "the more calm fighter strikes the hardest" type of thing || dune

[finite cypress]

||yeah so you swing/stab fast and before it hits the shield you slow down||

[outer tulip]

yeah that totally makes sense

[finite cypress]

||they have lasguns also.. iirc if lasguns shoots a shield it will do a mini nuke reason why they dont use it||

[outer tulip]

|| that means it would be super effective right? ||

[finite cypress]

|| if they use it they will kill themselves ||

[outer tulip]

|| lmao yeah that's what I figured would be the outcome ||

|| it was just weird cause I felt in the film the shield was more of an indicator for parry rather than a real shield against fatal attacks, but the scenes were moving kinda quick || dune

[finite cypress]

||i think during the invasion part you can see alot of blades being repelled by it ||

[outer tulip]

|| word I'll take a close look on my rewatch ||

[finite cypress]

|| people tell me theres alot of small details i prob missed so yeah imma rewatch also ||

[crimson lance]

Lucifer chapter 20

[broken fossil]

@jade siren what season or episode u on?

[jade siren]

Season 2 episode 2 currently

[broken fossil]

enjoy, stick with it and try to get to season 3 if you can!

[hoary hawk]

||yea that part confused me a lot too, the shield aspect of it. in theory it seemed cool but almost negated. like its cool when practicing i guess? but irl it was like wot also it was like year 10000 something right, i was expecting crazy advanced shiz haha|| dune

@outer tulip @finite cypress

[broken fossil]

season 2's latter half might get messy but its worth it for thepay offs

[jade siren]

||The end of the first episode was absolutely terrifying but lynch is great at making you scared when you feel like youre in a stretch of relative calm || twin peaks season 2 episode 1

[hoary hawk]

even though your guys convo was much earlier

LOL

[jade siren]

So far my favorite lynch work is mulholland drive

Although I’ve only seen that and twin peaks so

[broken fossil]

hes a master at that, making calm quiet moments creepy, love it

[jade siren]

yup

[hoary hawk]

he apparently also did the original dune..

but it didnt pan out as well..

[broken fossil]

oh you nailed it already, thats practically one of his best as well

[broken fossil]

yeah, lynch and "book to movie" would never mix well

he likes to just fly off the handle

[hoary hawk]

yea i havent seen the older one

but this new one seems to the book

dont think its lynch-lite

though lynch is amazing haha

[broken fossil]

the old one was bad, but if someone was craving dune content it was serviceable enough

a C-/C

[hoary hawk]

have u seen the new one?

[broken fossil]

new duneis nothing like lynch

no but i know enough about it from production

lol

[hoary hawk]

i recommend a theater watch

[jade siren]

||The overall vibe of the show is really relaxing (apart from the horror scenes ofc), lynch is great at creating an atmosphere that mixes the mystery of a murder and a bit of slice of life, I particularly enjoy the scenes where dale is enjoying coffee or a donut || twin peaks general stuff

[hoary hawk]

visually/sound a+

[broken fossil]

doing so tomorrow

[hoary hawk]

nice

lmk your thoughts

thinking about reading it

[broken fossil]

i like that twin peaks is also basically a satire of soap operas at the time of its making

||literally everyone in this showis cheating with someone else lmao||

twin peaks

[jade siren]

Lmao

You know now that you mention that

😹

[broken fossil]

that was purposeful im pretty sure, everything lynch does isnt random,has some sort of intent but he'll never tell you directly

[white smelt]

How are you liking it?

[jade siren]

He’s the goat need to check out his other movies

[white smelt]

I kinda want to get back into it.

[broken fossil]

also recommend lost highway and eraserhead

[jade siren]

Ah nice heard those are good

Will add them to my list

Along with blue velvet I believe it’s called

[broken fossil]

and if you consider yourself to be aLynch veteren at some point then watch inland empire

extremely confusing and highly abstract, only for experts

if u can figure that movie out you can figure out all acid/mushroom trips

but if you dont like lynch youll just think its shit

[jade siren]

Lol

[broken fossil]

wild at heart is also a fun one, and has nicolas cage

[crimson lance]

Lucifer 23 And sandman ending spoilers || Is this something dream and lucifer talked about during sandman? Probably when he gave him the key? ||

[white smelt]

Totally ignored

[burnt lake]

[copper phoenix]

[outer tulip]

dune || facts haha, I'd assume something that far into the future would have something more "protective" ||

[crimson lance]

wanze you didnt ping me

and these people keep talking of dune so ididnt see

[white smelt]

Oh yeah, Dune is out.

[crimson lance]

Lucifer chapter 24 and sandman ending spoilers|| I like it alot so far, its different from sandman thought. Lucifer has a singluar goal he works towards and deals with, while sandman was just stories being told, occasional obstacles being dealt with, or stories being told over more than 1 chapter. Im curious whats going to happen, since he's already created an entire universe, and its only 24/75 chapters. I really hope they do more single chapter random stuff, like sandman did. and like this comic did a bit of already. ||

Lucifer chapter 24

good art

The one thing that annoys me about reading good comics is how i have to devote my entire attention to them when i read them and cant read anything else, and i cant just read it quickly because then ill miss so much.

[white smelt]

Lucifer 24 and up ||From what I remember there are a fair amount of one shots that later tie in to the main story so in that regard you'll get what you want. But yeah, as a whole it's more singularly focused as opposed to Sandman that was more open ended with its story telling|||

[crimson lance]

This happended with sandman and now its happening with lucifer

[outer tulip]

I was just responding... we're not talking about it anymore lol

[crimson lance]

ok

[white smelt]

Probably my least favorite thing about comics is how the artists will change right in the middle of stuff and not always for the better.

[crimson lance]

Yeah

but like in sandman it was always somehow better i think

except for a small portion, when it was the worse art in the series, but still good

[white smelt]

Yeah for the most part I feel like Sandman's artists really fit the bill. At least for their particular story arcs.

Pretty good all around.

[crimson lance]

Sandman ending || one issue with sandman art is that the endless look weird in the last page of the final chapter ||

Sandman ending || Death's weird blocky face, and delirums methed out look make this page less than perfect ||

[white smelt]

lol

[crimson lance]

Sandman ending || My favorite part of a new artist, was them having their own interpertation of the endless, especially dream and delirium, they really went for something cool each time. ||

[white smelt]

Sandman ending ||Daniel Dream looks great in this art style||

[crimson lance]

yes

well thats enough lucifer for today

Going to buy a bunch of books tomorrow hopefully and ill finally have a book to read

[white smelt]

They got my order ready at the bookstore. Gonna buy a ton of manga but that's for the other channel.

[crimson lance]

Gonna try and buy as many if these as possible

The FellowShip Of The Ring
The Two Towers
The Return Of The King
A Series of Ice And Fire: George R. R. Martin

[rich meadow]

I’ve read most of those, all good

Way of Kings ||I really like the concept of the Herald of the Almighty. Really neat idea||

[outer tulip]

out of the three I've read.. Lord of the flies is my favorite

[feral kettle]

finished sopranos season 3

show gets better with every season

[scenic frost]

That's a good list

[crimson lance]

could be better

im only really interested in like four of these books, the others im getting because they're well regarded and i want to read more books

[sonic quail]

Dune was beautiful

Some good scenes too

Very well done

But ngl i still prefer reading it.

[scenic frost]

Yeah I mean if you want base it only what you like, I pretty much like 3 of those books. But they all good books ntl

[crimson lance]

chapter 24 of lucifer is very good

How long waas season 1

like 10?

[sonic quail]

I think so

[trim thunder]

like 8 episodes?

[white smelt]

Watched Dune

Very meh

[trim thunder]

this is a significant uptake in episode count

are the episodes themselves shorter than S1?

[crimson lance]

maybe maybe not

they already confirmed 3 seasons i think

[regal root]

Hope they spend a bit more on animation for S2, it was pretty choppy at certain times in S1

[crimson lance]

yeah

any background character was 100% cgi

they saved all the animation budget for the last episode it looks

[barren temple]

They had cgi background characters?

I must have missed a lot

Oh nvm I know what scenes you're talking about

I guess I have a lot of hot takes relating to animation

But I won't get into it

[feral kettle]

This js fake

Lmao

[dire lichen]

Not seen Dune yet but i feel like its gonna be Villeneuve's lamest film yet

[sage sleet]

Creator wanted about 7 seasons so it might just got for 3 but with more episodes per season

[white smelt]

It was just kind of a whole lot of nothing. Very forgettable to me.

[sage sleet]

bout 20 seconds into maya and the three

[modern lichen]

I'm gonna wait until the succession season ends to binge it

[sage sleet]

they're just showin some shots

but this is a 10/10

aint nothin happened really but this shit can cure everything wrong with me

i aint even evil no more

this shit made me good

n i'm 20 seconds in

[modern lichen]

I'm gonna go to the cinemas to watch Dune

I don't wanna watch it on some smaller screen

[sage sleet]

imma watch it at home just bc idk anything bout dune

so idc as much but i wanna know what yall talkin bout

[modern lichen]

I won't trust anything or anyone who talks about this movie until I see it

I really like Villeneuve as well so let's see

[sage sleet]

what have they done

[modern lichen]

Who

I mean I won't take heed of any opinions here or anywhere else on the internet

I wanna see it for myself

[sage sleet]

?

oh lol

i mean the director

feel that i usually watch things for myself

still need to see venom despite the public opinion

[modern lichen]

Oh the director, Denis Villeneuve yeah he's a cool one

I'm not interested in Venom 2

Wasn't really up for the first one either

[sage sleet]

i watched the end credit on YT

first venom was fun but nothing much came of it

i'm not exctied for carnage the trailers did nothing for me

[modern lichen]

I'm gonna wait until the whole thing comes out in HD, if it hasn't already

[sage sleet]

but i'm bored so

might go see it tomo or something

runnin low on le money so idk

[modern lichen]

Waiting for Last Night in Soho and The Eternals

[sage sleet]

[modern lichen]

Edgar Wright

[sage sleet]

kinda lookin forward to eternals

[modern lichen]

He did something other than a comedy this time, the movie is horror

And it looks really good and trippy

Watched this yesterday, most insane movie I've seen this year

[sage sleet]

watxhin the trailer n it looks interesting

can't stand horror so i wont be watchin but looks neat

[modern lichen]

That is a body horror movie, craziest movie I've seen this year

It's just disturbing most of the time

But it's good
