Milo and POTUS posted:I... kinda like the guest? The show itself seems eh (there's like a 3 minute intro lmfao wtf) but I've also seen Jenny so in comparison these guys come off as pretty good! It was a live show so they had a few minutes of filler while waiting for people to join. Lowtax was playing an episode of some forgotten 80s crime show with a sci-fi hook at the start of his stream for the new Dontrel game a couple days ago.

Hackers film 1995 posted:thor 3 was one of my favorite marvel movies just because i was rarely bored and it was fun. but yeah, all scenes involving blanchett were the worst parts (not her fault) Ragnarok's moment-to-moment quality corresponds directly with how far away it is from Asgard at any given point.

reignofevil posted:I feel like you're making a totally legit point here but I would like to say that over the course of the past decade people have often come in here and accused our members of being in an echo chamber controlled by RLM's opinions of things to the point where we had a running joke of 'waiting till Mike tells me what I'm allowed to think' when new movies came out. This state of affairs almost has to be an improvement from that perspective! Yeah fair enough tbh honest the whole "heh marvel films are baby trash" is more a goon thing in general and not just a this thread thing Which is itself more of a "heh popular thing is actually trash" goon thing

You do realise lister nobody gives a fly gently caress about spoilers for Picard, it sure as gently caress didn't earn them. That said, Christ that is some serious amateur hour writing. Spins it's wheels the entire time and feebly vomits out homework written 5 minutes before hand in time at school in a show that doesn't even justify it's own existence. I bet there were a poo poo ton of flash backs of new scenes to retcon a question and answer like Mentos It must be chewed moment. If the hack frauds get run out of Hollywood it is too kind of a fate. Gotta tar and feather them first, then  with their criminal wealth given to the homeless.

I just watched The Hunters again, because the ending was so loving bizarre I was unable to believe it was real. It was, completely. I was sure I was just watching it wrong. Al Pacino was a mengele-style nazi surgeon and not a Jewish Holocaust survivor. I hate the show, like a loving LOT, but I’m still gonna watch season 2.

Moola posted:every episode of picard I get so angry at a line of dialogue I have to exclaim out loud and startle my dog there's something about the first 5 or so episodes of it that are just so mediocre it hurts more. I wouldn't even say it's terrible, it just hasn't been good to me at all. there's large parts of it that feel like heavily recycled paper and that makes it worse, at least with things that are bad, they're usually bad in their own way that makes it unexpected and interesting, not so when it's bland in all the ways you feel like you've seen before. the latest 2 episodes seem like they will have more actually going on at least.

oohhboy posted:You do realise lister nobody gives a fly gently caress about spoilers for Picard, it sure as gently caress didn't earn them. Yeah, but the episode came out just today so I figured I'd try to be courteous. I want to also mention that in the vision flashes that are supposed to drive people insane and make them want to commit suicide, there's a single frame of a dead fox just lying on the ground like from one of those time lapse videos of an animal corpse decomposing. Except that it's only the one frame and it doesn't show any composition. Just like... why?

I cannot wait to see what this vision of the past that is so bad that it, I will quote memory alpha:quote:As Oh warned, the others are overwhelmed by the images, some committing suicide with their disruptors, others bashing their own skulls in with rocks or trying to gouge out their eyes. please no one spoil if it's way different plz, I wanna see this with my own eyes

That's exactly what happens and it is pretty funny. Especially since the visions are not disturbing or scary in the slightest.

lol at picards entire storyline centered around romulans trying to stop AI going too far when the star trek universe already has a race of genocidal super robots which wipe out entire races also an entire series of discovery focused around a super AI which is a threat to the universe.

The visions aren't nearly bad enough. It would need to be at least Event Horizon bad to justify people just shooting themselves in the head immediately. Everyone's just like "We made robots. It went badly." It needs to be "We made robots. They killed literally every living thing." The Romulans are hunting sword guy on the Borg cube, but they loving refuse to shoot him. They get him with a flash grenade and then charge in for some hand-to-hand fighting. There's a point where Raffi is supposed to be pointing a phaser at Soji, and Picard stands in the way, and in half the shots Raffi is aiming the phaser a good 40-degrees away from the two of them. Admiral Pottymouth told Picard to shut the gently caress up. That's fun. The synths are from a star system with 8 stars, which I guess is a cool idea? I didn't know you could have more than two. This poo poo with the hologram Rioses each with their own affect and accent is not being executed well. They're all annoying. And the real Rios is a moody bitch all the time. Whole lot of nothing happening in this episode. A lot of backstory for Rios that any other Star Trek would have gotten out of the way immediately. Like literally a crewmember would have just read it off his file in 15 seconds. 7 of 9 activated the Borg cube to kill the evil Romulans. Sunglasses Vulcan did the Mars 9/11.

Yeah pretty much. She sabotaged the construction of the rescue fleet to make synths look bad. Although maybe she didn't predict it would lead to the Romulans getting no help at all. It was a huge own goal.

I didn't notice it then but you're right lol  It's also not totally clear if it's robots that kill everybody once you make good robots or if it's some alien beings. It's worded so poorly in the episode. At the beginning, admiral sunglasses says they are preventing the coming of the destroyers and the death from the skies. And then like, the vision shows a green glow enveloping a planet and blowing it up but also nuke like explosions on the surface. Soji is then like "oh, I'm the destroyer they're talking about" but I guess that doesn't mean that the robots are actively the destroyers but like a herald? gently caress this show
