Pen15 was so good but a 7 ep season felt painfully short. It was really well paced and a perfect arc but i just need more.

WeedlordGoku69 posted:honestly, I kind of feel like it's been long enough that most people have forgotten about Borat, and even if they encountered Borat they might not realize it's the same dude from the movie. SBC has also gotten fourteen years older, so even though he's wearing the same costume you wouldn't be able to immediately pin him as the same guy.

AMC+ has launched, and it’s probably going to eat the lunch of Shudder.

I've forgotten to cancel shudder for like 3 months in a row. Mediocre service. Usually their shudder original branded stuff ranges from good to watchable, and there's a handful of solid titles but unless you are really into campy stuff it's real easy to have nothing to watch and the new content seems to trickle out so slowly it's practically the same catalog as the last time I canceled a year ago. E: Huh. What do you mean "eat the lunch"? it appears shudder is included with it.

I'm gonna guess that they mean it'll be a DC Universe/HBO Max situation where Shudder gets, uh, shuttered, and all its content gets absorbed into the larger corporate entity product. I want to like Shudder, I really do. But their selection is just way too stagnant and limited. I really appreciate some of their original stuff and acquisitions, but their back catalogue should be way, way stronger for what their niche is. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Oct 3, 2020 |

Has anyone watched the Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous show? I know it's a kids show, but Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies, so I was hoping it might be good. I'm two episodes in, and so far the characters are annoying and act really entitled. Despite being brought to a cool island with dinosaurs, they constantly just do whatever they want. I feel like I'm watching all the non-main-character kids from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I did think it was funny that Jurassic World uses an escape-from-dinosaurs video game to select kids for their camp (Last Starfighter style). Escaping from dinosaurs seems like a good skill for anyone on this island to have. Edit: Watched some more. The show got a bit better. Still not great, but alright.

It was pretty bizarre, but I found it engaging and the production values feel very good. I’m always down for an anthology series that doesn’t feel like it was made by film students.

Anyone here watch Woke? I came away from the first episode with such mixed feelings regarding its messaging and I'm not sure it's intentional. The inciting incident was really well done, and pretty heart stopping, but the penultimate scene was so absurd it almost seemed to be arguing against being socially conscious? Curious if it starts to form a cohesive message later on.

It's not terrible but it's kind of all over the place. The cast is pretty enjoyable, some of the jokes are good and I even found the overall story ok. It's just constantly bouncing around between corny romcom, adult swim absurdity, and trying to make a statement in a way that none of those things land. The worst part about it was the idea that his utterly terrible comic was popular in the first place. The stuff they show is like, significantly worse than the worst of Garfield.

I might continue it just on the strength of the cinematography and color palette. It's absolutely gorgeous and makes me want to spend a week in pre-covid NY. I get the feeling the terrible comic is very intentional from what I know about the writer of the show. Keith Knight is a very talented artist IRL who does political cartoons, often about police brutality. Having the pre-woke Keef draw a lovely sub-Garfield and selling out to white people who love it.... is pretty loving funny.

For sure the comic is intentionally bad, but it's portrayed as something that a bunch of comic book nerds are all into when it would have been more believable if it was something that was syndicated in a print newspaper that boomers passively like. They have people hooting and hollering and dressing up for it at comic con and it's basically Family Circus tier.

I know it's super not new or whatever but I've been rewatching Haunting of Hill House all day since the new one is coming this week and boy does it remain a master class in horror, featuring one of the few actually earned jumpscares I've experienced in episode 8. If you've been sleeping on it somehow still or just are like me and haven't watched it since it dropped and are excited for the new one, total prime October binge.

The writer also posted a bunch of unofficial stories about the various ghosts (spoiler: show has ghosts) on reddit that were a fun read.

I think this series and Hereditary are some of the only shows/movies I’ve seen that explored grief in a way that felt genuinely powerful and horrifying and not just with lame metaphors.

Using the dread just inherent in 'this is a broken family who never got over multiple horrible traumas and now has to face them' is all you need to make the ghosts spooky scary!

Speaking of this I watched Nightingale blind last night because I saw it on Shudder. It's not a horror movie at all and I really should have read about it before watching. I thought it was a really good movie but gently caress I needed a hug after that.

Netflix just canceled the planned 4th and final season of GLOW. Disappointing, but I get why they wouldn't wait around for who knows how long to do one more season. There's probably a lot more of these cancellations in the pipeline, I assume.

Haunting of Hill House is my favorite Netflix series, period, but I might be mildly obsessed. It felt so different from any other horror anything I’ve seen. Obviously I’m a bit anxious for Bly Manor. Schitt’s Creek S6 is finally on netflix, in case nobody else mentioned it. Totally holds up with the rest of the seasons, but you probably knew that. Raised By Wolves finale was at least as weird as the weirdest thing in the show so far. Yay.

Still sucks to hear, especially when IIRC this was one of those shows where they planned out the number of seasons to avoid it getting stale.
