muscles like this? posted:Sony also sells the "Playstation TV" for $99. Although that $99 is kind of a misnomer as you need a controller and those are sold separately from that SKU. Amazon has the TV + Dualshock bundle for $99 currently. Not that I'm recommending that really, it's an absurd concept to spend $100 to watch one TV show. I mean, I guess it plays games too, but the good Vita games I know of rely on hardware that the PSTV lacks.

KatWithHands posted:I came here specifically to see if anyone else had watched that. What a terrifying 45 minutes of television. 19-2 has this great use of sound, whether through mood music, a lack of music, or a lack of sound at all. They didn't use any background music until about 36 minutes into the episode, after it had been resolved, and I think that made it seem that much more realistic.

Something called "Almost Human" on tv... holy poo poo Aceveda has gotten super fat, it's always sad when you see handsome actors become kind of fat like this  .The guy from Pirates of the Caribbeans is in this though  Also I'm not sure but I think one of the daughters from 8 Simple Rules is in this.

I don't care how many places people find where they cheated and didn't actually do it in one shot, that is a tense as poo poo scene. I *love* long tracking shots like that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ditPebZ8g

I hate long tracking shots, especially for action scenes. The angles are always lovely and you end up with a bunch of small (but noticeable) mistakes in the choreography that nobody wants to correct. It's a bad gimmick. That shot from 19-2 is a great example. Because of the refusal to cut, you've got three people who just crawl right towards the gunman with no good explanation as to why.

I've never seen this show, but I ended up watching the entire episode. Not a fan of police procedurals, but I can't believe they killed the main character, that was a great twist.

They crawled to the hero because he pointed the gun at them and wanted them as hostages. The problem with the shot was the one guy who used the stool as an armrest, trying to get comfortable during a school shooting.

Ravane posted:They crawled to the hero because he pointed the gun at them and wanted them as hostages. That's the problem though. They sacrificed clarity and coverage, and all they got in return was a fairly dull shot. This episode of Flashpoint covers a similar situation and does it in a far more interesting way, mostly because cutting allowed them to keep the tension up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUSr7HCxdNY (9:55-11:30 for a short example)

Fair warning, 19-2 isn't actually a gritty cop action show, most of the time it's more of a character drama, with some melodrama/soap-ish stuff attached. But their action stuff is pretty well done nonetheless.

In the 90's, big stars like Schwartzenegger and Bruce Willis got paid a large sum of cash to appear in some random Japanese ads. Ads are perpetually a source of good, easy money that requires little to no work on the part of the celebrity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg8rSLfwK_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwqbqnsoSCs

Keeping the radio chatter on all the time really gave the whole scene tension and urgency, especially the officer in charge yelling at the cops over and over again to stop helping the wounded and go after the shooter. It's a heartless thing to do both to the wounded kids and the beat cops not really ready to take on a heavily armed killer but it's apparently what police forces are now always instructed to do, don't wait for backup but go in immediately.

Here are some rumored details of the Walking Dead spinoff, said to be titled "Fear the Walking Dead".quote:This is not that show, at least not in the pilot script. The intro gives you a swerve, but the infection has not taken hold yet. The “walkers” are not yet known to the population at large, as society stands on the cusp of its own destruction. Hottest take? "Durrr Hope it's Better than the Original, Which Sucks" is taken I'm afraid.

The implausibility of showing that is why all zombie stories start off X months after the outbreak. The Strain kind of handles that differently, but it's a pretty lousy show.

And the Walking Dead style zombies is an instantaneous problem the world over. You can't have rumors and secrets when over a hundred thousand people die natural deaths in the United States every day and all of them become zombies. A Walking Dead outbreak would from zero to everybody's dead in a matter of days.

It's AMC so you know they're planning on having this thing run for 10+ seasons if they can, so what happens when the outbreak actually happens? Is it just the pilot that's pre-outbreak and then it's just TWD 2.0?

Maybe we'll trace the source of the pandemic to a government-funded science project -- it's always a government project -- that's officially called the Mid-level Intrinsic Chlorination Information Network, or Project MIDICHLORIAN
