San Andreas with The Rock is pretty much a modern day version of one of those.

How does San Andreas compare to the one where his building catches fire? Haven't seen San Andreas but that fire movie was so goddamn bad.

I didn't see Towering Referno but San Andreas was bad, although my coworkers who really like The Rock thought it was good, mostly because he wears a tight shirt/flexes his guns. The plot armor is beyond ridiculous. Also there's a "bad" guy who they have to make do a couple extra jerky things near the end because otherwise he's just "normal" guy who dies! that the movie spends too much time with.

I loving love the Muppets (check out the Defunctland series on them) and I can't figure out how to make them work in the year 2019. The last TV show wasn't very good at all. The Jason Segel movie only worked because it totally cashed in on nostalgia. The Tina Fey sequel was bad. I think maybe it could work if you did some half hour or hour specials every once in a while. Start with a Christmas special and go from there I guess. I wish Jim Henson wasn't dead

Detective No. 27 posted:Aw bullshit. Disney already cancelled the planned Muppets show for Disney+. Josh Gad's Muppets show, mind you. So I have a feeling we dodged a bullet there. Plus, it was supposed to be a direct period sequel to Muppets Take Manhattan. Look, I want Muppet stuff to honor its legacy, too, but I want it to look forward and not just be an exercise in nostalgia for the diehards. The Muppets was the ideal way to do that, but since then everything's been misguided. Jose Oquendo posted:I loving love the Muppets (check out the Defunctland series on them) and I can't figure out how to make them work in the year 2019. Re-embrace the variety show aspect of it. The whole thing has gotten up its own rear end with continuity and backstory and drama and whatever since The Muppet Movie, but I care way more about Kermit running a theatre than I do about his complicated backstory and long-running relationships. The Muppet Show is still the best piece of Muppet media because it was just a sketch show centered on being a fun, weird, goofy, funny blast. The original was a wacky take on vaudeville, so make the new one a wacky take on SNL or late night talkshows or whatever light wraparound narrative you need and make it a really inventive sketch show that can do a musical number if it wants to and can have a meta bit with Mark Hamill if it wants to. I think a similar approach to Scooby-Doo and Guess Who would be the right direction. They're updating and revamping the same core concepts behind The New Scooby-Doo Movies and staying true to what made that work rather than trying to subvert it or do a riff on 30 Rock or whatever that terrible ABC show was doing. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Sep 10, 2019 |

I liked that last Muppets show  I honestly thought the "modern living" jokes and plots were pretty well-integrated and I laughed my rear end off at a lot of themPost-retool it sucked balls though

I didn't realize they even retooled that show. I'll give it credit for not chasing the nostalgia, but doing an Office/Parks and Rec mockumentary style wasn't exactly original.

Been getting through season 2 of Mindhunter It's pretty good, the Atlanta Child Murders stuff is really hard to watch, especially if you know the details already and can just see failure pile on top of incompetence pile on top of lots of years of racism. Charles Manson is generally not interesting but his scene in this ruled. Little Dewey Crowe all growed up and hilarious. I especially like the mostly unsaid but clear narrative of the BSU's entire methodology and profiling ideas being shown to be complete horseshit pseudo-science. Although that might take some meta-knowledge of BTK and how bad they were at catching him, but the irony is still there. "There's no way this guy goes to church!", o rly? Holden is just the worst and I like that the show and it's characters just seem to have accepted it by now.

tonight I watched the first few episodes of Undone, new Amazon show done using rotoscope, starring Rosa Salazar and Bob Odenkirk, created by some (all?) of the folks behind Bojack Horseman. i'm real into it. if you liked Scanner Darkly, Russian Doll, and/or generally shows with non-linear storytelling, unreliable narrators and dealing with depression and potential schizophrenia, it seems to be worth trying out.

The first season of The Terror was amped up as having supernatural horror and as far as I could tell it was mostly a large bear and an Inuit woman they all thought was controlling it. And a guy hallucinating in a diving suit But you couldn't tell wtf was going on besides the people in charge drinking too much and having parties to keep up morale.

Just finished watching The Villainess on Hulu, pretty drat good Korean action flick. While watching a making-of from John Wick 3, they mentioned that they got the idea for the motorcycle scene from this movie. It definitely could've trimmed some fat off the meat, but overall it was enjoyable.

withak posted:Condolences on your awful taste in books. No need to make it personal, friend. It starts strong and has a few bright spots later on but it is nonetheless twice as long as it needs to be and has looooong sections where either a.) nothing happens or b.) the same thing happens that’s been happening for several scenes before it. I don’t “dislike good stories.” Taking 800 pages to write a 400 page good story is not my kind of writing though, I will admit that. The show is much better about depicting the same basic story but with actually good pacing. Captain Magic fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Sep 15, 2019 |
