The first episode of Legion sure was something. Interesting to see if they can keep it up.

I have no idea what to make of Legion so far, but I'm curious enough to watch more.

Some people just enjoy content differently. The same person decided on a whim that she didn't want to watch La La Land because apparently 'it has a sad ending'. She found this out by a reading a plot synopsis.

DivisionPost posted:Oh, sweet Christ, Riverdale. First of all, Shannon Purser's episode aired today (she plays Ethel Muggs), and at the end of the episode, Cheryl Blossom tosses off "#JusticeForEthel" as a line. I thought it was funny. Fight me.  I love this showE: the "maple" stuff and revenge-shaming didn't really do it for me this week though, felt hokey and cartoony in a way that doesn't quite fit with the rest of the show to me. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Escobarbarian posted:You should watch THE FALL, it's absolutely one of the best-looking movies of all time No, seriously watch The Fall, its images will blow your goddamn mind and then realizing that there was 0 CGI (aside from cleanup work removing wires and such) will blow your mind AGAIN. Also the backstory of this guy networking for 15 years during his career then calling in every favor and spending virtually all his money to make his dream project is great. Also the 6 year old girl playing the main character is possibly the best little kid performance in all of cinema. It's just...it's so good you guys. e: that said it's a complete mood piece, if you mainly enjoy movies for their plot or their characters you'll be bored to tears.

The ending of Hannibal S03 E05 is the most tv has made me smile in some months.precision posted:I feel like I must be broken because I legitimately don't enjoy watching lovely people out themselves as lovely. It just makes me depressed. Thing is, I've known these lovely people are out there for ages, so I just enjoy when something pushes their buttons and makes them go insane. I can't get rid of them, but at least I can get some schadenfreude.

Showrunners driving that opinion is a relatively new thing.

Are they even going to bother bringing Veep back? What could they even do? Selena just tweeting at an evil Nazi president? Been there.

Veep's coming back in April. I would hope they sidestep Trump-ian antics and instead show the Hillary-parallel story of what Selena does after losing the presidency.

Roughly 15 minutes into Riverdale episode 1 and it's... interesting. The show definitely has a pretty distinct visual language, with colors that are just a little too vibrant to be real gelling well with characters who are just slightly larger than life. The twangy guitar soundtrack, the high school setting, and the fact that the show literally begins with a death and a teacher-student affair makes me think of some demented bizarro-world Friday Night Lights.

On episode 2 now, and Riverdale is weirdly delightful. Can't really explain why. The image of the waterlogged corpse with a giant bullet hole in his forehead and horrified death-snarl is just so over-the-top morbid when contrasted with all the 'sex-having teenagers and their crazy antics' that we got for most of the previous episode that I can't help but laugh at the contrast. I've been trying to come up with what it reminds me of, and I think I've hit it: it's like one of those perfectly ordinary dime-a-dozen high school shows that goes on way too long, that incorporates a murder mystery as, like, a 5th season ratings stunt. Only they're skipping the previous five seasons. It's just so delightfully absurd. "What's this show about?" "Young love! The trials and tribulations of being a teenager! The expectations of family! Dreams and hopes for the future! Oh, and GRISLY MURDER."

Shageletic posted:So the second season of FNL then Pretty much, except it... works? Season 2 of FNL fell flat because it was a complete betrayal of everything that came before. Riverdale is full-on murdercrazy from the get-go. I just watched a scene where the main girl's mom bribes a creepy coroner for details and a close look at the dead guy's body. Not for any particular reason besides the fact that she loving hated that kid, because he dated her other daughter and it ended badly. She literally walked out of the shadows while the creepy coroner was giving his report and handed him an envelope full of cash so she could gloat at a dead kid's corpse. This show is amazing.
