I read that that scene’s from a fantasy sequence (although Archie really did fight in a war)

Sentinel Red posted:Totally. Lance and Dan are the Fury and Cap of my heart. The moment the penny drops is just wonderful. Reddick's performance in The Guest is interesting, he's so intensely robotic in his action scenes. Like this tiny corner peek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hf3K3xkAHQ&t=179s

Do not watch that clip if you've never seen The Guest bc it spoils basically the entire movie. And if you have not seen The Guest, what is wrong with you, go watch it right now

I was really disappointed by the History of Swearwords. It's 0,1% historians saying "this is when the swearword was first used" and the rest is comedians talking about how much they enjoy using the swearword.

Vincent posted:This is from waaaaay back, but why is Archie fighting in World War II? I saw Riverdale up to season 3 or 4 and they were in modern times. Also, they're making Betty into Clarice Sterling (which, y'know what? sure, it might work). Weirdly enough, the best on-screen adaptation/ripoff of Archie is far and away The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. The first season is just straight-up Archie, but the second season sent Dobie and the Jughead equivalent (who was ripped off by Scooby-Doo to make Shaggy) off to the army. Strange parallel. But yeah the Betty/Clarice give is weird but great.

That's what I figured it would be, that's been the majority of anything with a documentary-ish theme made by traditional TV for a long time now really. I think YouTubers are legitimately getting good enough to fill that niche, or are already there.

Truth Seekers has been cancelled. I want to have a reaction to this, but while I don't regret watching the first season, it also made no impression on me either.

I read that Noah Hawley's going to be showrunner for an Alien series on FX, with Ridley Scott presumably exec producing. I'm cautiously optimistic. Fargo is great, and Legion was gorgeous and weird. I wonder if this is going to lead to some traction for Scott's third Alien prequel; I know Prometheus and Covenant weren't very well received, but I'd like to see him get to finish the story and tie it back to Alien. I wasn't big on the theatrical releases, but I liked both movies better after seeing cuts that integrated the deleted material (which is par for the course with Alien movies except for the first one). David became a really interesting character even if the rest of the cast were mostly cannon fodder.

I just hope that it takes its cues from Prometheus/Covenant rather than rehashing Alien. We already got an Alien rehash in Alien 3. It was cool and all, but it felt a bit like a Xerox. Give me a David-esque POV character and a some Weyland-Yutani corporate intrugue and I'll be a very happy boy. ...by which I mean I want a Blade Runner show that continues to spiritually meld the Alien and Blade Runner universes together like Prometheus did.

I'm all caught up on Resident Alien and I think my favorite part is how the narration is sometimes in real time so "Harry" will be going on about something and get interrupted.

Scott's Prometheus 3 is written (though by John Logan, so the odds are it's loving trash), but he said around the time the Disney acquisition of Fox closed that he believed the money wasn't there to get it made.

Open Source Idiom posted:I suspect a lot of people only know him for his Star Trek film, which is apparently trash? John Logan has written, let's see... Bats: Trash and awful. RKO 281: So heavily ripped off The Battle Over Citizen Kane that Ridley Scott had to personally pay off the producers of that documentary to stave off a plagiarism lawsuit. Any Given Sunday: Trash. The Time Machine: Trash Gladiator: Was rewritten heavily by David Franzoni, only had a few scenes of his left in the shooting script The Aviator: Rewritten by an uncredited Michael Mann, who did it as a favor to Scorsese (Leo DiCaprio blurted this out in a drunken stupor at a post-Oscars party) The Last Samurai: Rewritten top-to-bottom by Zwick Skyfall: One of the most misogynistic movies I've seen in recent memory Spectre: Ughhhhhhhhhh Sweeney Todd: Well, if you're adapting Sondheim I guess you get to luck into something decent. The dude sucks.

As much of a douche as Max Landis is, he's sold something like 80 first draft scripts that nobody's done anything with, so a lot of his money likely comes from option fees and selling off the whole concept. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Feb 15, 2021 |

The Office (US) is on UK Netflix and I've been casually bingeing through it. Just got to an episode that ends with a character saying "I quit" - is THAT the source of the classic goon meme of acquit???
