DrVenkman posted:Liked the first episode of UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Though I feel like they should've held off on that final scene for another few episodes. It kind of undercuts the tension. There's a very good reason they did it this way. Just keep watching.

Taboo is a good show with like 20 minutes of atmosphere shots that could be cut out of it.

MiddleOne posted:I'm sorry, what? As in hey let's make Mary a suffragette, and make Watson be a douche to her and the servant-lady for ~irony~. Oh what a coincidence that the episode in which we most directly show misogynist behavior is also the episode in which feminism is the main motivation for the crimes that are happening! We're thematic you guys! It might work if it didn't force characters to behave inconsistently, and if so many of the "feminist" moments weren't made into weak silly gags (Mary: "I'm part of a campaign you know. Votes for women!" Lestrade: "Oh really? For or against?". This may be in character for Lestrade but it's painfully cringey when you're watching). It feels a lot like the writers decided at some point "Hey this feminism thing seems to be rather popular lately, we could probably score some points with viewers by writing a story about it". And then simply started writing some dialogue and jokes using a very superficial understanding of the topic. Feminism is unironical serious business and I find it marginally disturbing when I see what I perceive to be exploitation of it for profit.

Pop punk is far from the worst thing in the world. The Ramones, The Buzzcocks, The Gun Club, etc. All great. I'm on episode 3 of Lemon Snickers and it's still the most awesome thing

I've started Sneaky Pete, and it's pretty good so far. I'm probably gonna take a break to check out Series of Unfortunate Events, though, since I've heard nothing but good things.

This is getting creepy, because I was about to take a break from Snicket to watch Sneaky Pete.

Finished Serious of Unfortunate event, it picked up after the initial hump but the show largely feels meandering to me for some reason. Like it's not really a funny show and since it doesn't really take itself seriously the drama kinda fell flat for me. I know that it's supposed to be a kids adventure kind of deal but it just moves so slowly.

I just started watching Falling Water and after 3 episodes I still want to continue watching. I love the fact that one of the characters is the pretty much the concept of Cayce Pollard from the Blue Ant Trilogy for seeing patterns or items and knowing they can and will be popular.

I think Falling Water is pretty great. I don't know the one rich guy's name, but in my brain he's just Notch.

It's a very good show and yes, the Gibson influence is there in spades. The rich guy is basically Bigend from the same book.

Finished Unfortunate Events, really liked all of it but I probably agree that episodes 3-4 were the best.

It makes sense, The Reptile Room is probably the strongest source material from the early books. I'm really pumped for where they're going to go from here since the next season covers the period where the books themselves started getting better and the larger story started coming into focus.

I tried, I really did with Unfortunate Events, but all I could get was loving abject misery. I get they were going for over the top silly with Olaf, but it was played just seriously enough that all it was was depressing. I couldn't even get past the first episode  Edit: I'm not familiar with the source material. It may get better, but considering Lemony Snicket spends most of his time telling you NO IT DOESN'T, I just can't. cool kids inc. fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Jan 16, 2017 |

He isn't lying about that so yes if that's genuinely a kind of story you can't handle then you're right not to watch it. It's just how the story goes.

I hate the name of the show. It reminds me of a few years ago where every other movie coming out had some wacky title like Dr. Wizards Discombobulating Machine of Spectacular Fizzlewobbles.

I don't know if ASoUE was good or if I even really liked it but if nothing else I can appreciate that Netflix was willing to get weird and make something that is so polarizing. Polarizing is a word which in this case means "something not everyone likes but everyone feels strongly about".

Will have to try Unfortunate Events. I liked the books a lot when I was younger though I don't remember finishing the series. I even remember going to see the movie in the cinema.
