But if you know better, do tell, what was the twist they guessed?

Alhazred posted:The funniest part of Battle: Los Angeles is that they make a big deal out of the fact that you have to hot the aliens on specific spots early on and then they ignore it for the rest of the movie. I thought it was funny that a movie called Battle: Los Angeles was completely shot in New Orleans.

Everything else was speculation on the whole season being needlessly convoluted and a bunch of stuff not really adding up in the end.

So it's not Battle L.A., it's Battle LA. It'd be like if Star Wars was shot entirely in a city called Star or something.

Saw a headline about a 47 Ronin "sequel" being developed and was really confused since, you know, everybody dies at the end. It turns out that it is a weird cyberpunk reimagining of the movie/original story and not actually a sequel.

He's in a number of Cyberpunk things already, including the game Cyberpunk.

AMC Theaters sent out an email saying they're reopening at the end of August. Their big first movie they're opening with? NEW MUTANTS  Oh, also some Russell Crowe movie I've never heard of. quote:As for library titles, we will be showing all of these beloved movies on the big screens of AMC: Back to the Future, Beauty and the Beast, Black Panther, Bloodshot ( A-List memberships are still on pause until you renew them. In December, if you haven't renewed yet, your membership will auto-renew. Needless to say I'm not going to a movie in theaters for the remainder of 2020.

Cinemark is doing exactly the same thing with a lot of the same movies so somebody must have put a standard package together. Cinemark is also doing a thing where you can rent a theater out for $100 with a limit of 20 people but only for those older movies not new stuff.

But if you know better, do tell, what was the twist they guessed? my personal theory is that the bernard that's been guiding the corporations team in the present was a plant (there's a very quick scene where delores has him in VR, and is coaching him to be better at being himself) and that's what was thrown out. I'm pretty sure the whole 'two weeks later' thing never pays off at all. It's such a well made bad show, it's genuinely impressive.

There seems to be a rule that almost any drama that comes roaring out of the gate with a white-hot first season that's super intense and relevant and gets everyone talking will, inevitably, collapse in the second. Like it kinda makes sense, you don't know making a show if you even will get a second season, so you put all your best stuff in season one, there's no point holding back. You're living week to week. But then you get renewed and you get to tell the rest of the story and, uh, wait, what did we have for that? Whereas a lot of shows that had a difficult first season but somehow got good enough ratings to stay around end up finding their feet. (And then there's stuff like Mad Men, which is built less on Shocking Dramatic Revelations and is more of a slow burn. It caught people's attention from the start but it didn't front-load itself.)

I think it's also the writers not quite understanding why their stuff worked. The twist in the first season only worked because the set ups were clear and made sense. That's why the rug being pulled out is so impactful. Because these well acted, clearly drawn characters are clearly heading places, only they aren't. By contrast, the second season has a twist every five minutes, because the creators thought the twists of the first were the interesting part.

Theres also that a lot of time the first season is mostly storyboarded and given an initial drafting all at once. Theres been a couple of showrunners talking about this as a double edged sword. If the energy is going great then that momentum can carry a show through the first season easily but its hard to get it going again when they meet for season two because all the gossip about the show has affected how the writers think about it, even subconsciously. On the inverse you can easily miss that something isn't working during the writing process and then your stuck with it until you can course correct later in the season and hope you get another to fix it. You see this in almost all Bill Lawrence shows since he's pretty insistent on having a full episode order written before filming starts. Apparently he wants everyone working on the show to get paid their full contract, and thats a lot easier to do if the network already has everything delivered before the ratings start coming in.

Ed Harris gave one of my fav anecdotes of the 2nd season of Westworld: he (as a key antagonist) was told to ride horses alongside Evan Rachel Wood (a key protagonist) at some sand dunes, he asked "why, this makes no sense" and they told him "we'll figure it out later lol"

Y'all are forgetting that Westworld season 1 was a loving mess behind the scenes and shut down mid-filming to retool the show for almost a year. Having a ton of extra time to see what they had that did and didn't work was a luxury they couldn't afford in the next two seasons. But that's on top of all the aforementioned problems.

All of this is why I was so freaking happy when Damon Lindelof responded to questions about a potential Season 2 of Watchmen with (paraphrasing) "We made a self-contained story with a beginning, middle and end. If HBO wants to make a season 2, fine, but they're going to have to find someone else to do it because I won't."

Ed Harris should have stuck to military/terror melodrama, judging by his performances from The Rock, an all time cinematic classic.
