OldSenileGuy posted:I’ve heard good (read: batshit insane) things about Legends of Tomorrow, so I decided to jump in despite having no knowledge or interest in the CW DC universe. The writers of season 1 expected you to take seriously the objective of assassinating an immortal in three different time periods simultaneously. The writers of season 2 onwards would have something just as absurd but play it for comedy.

I've only watched half an episode of Black Mirror, but that looks dope. Basically Ready Player One but not awful and cloying.bring back old gbs posted:Beebo is like the tickle me Elmo of the LoT universe. It shows up in the background as a toy doll every so often.

So just Ghostbusters, but worse and with a gratuitous fight scene?

Basically after season 1 the show turned into a ton of fun. It's not some loving high brow TV where it will win awards and make you cry, but it's fun TV which I've been missing.

That's a port of the Telltale Minecraft game. I haven't played that one but the pattern for their games is that it gives you the illusion of choice but by and large you go through all the same plot beats no matter what you choose, so it's really more of a customized experience than a true CYOA.

I still miss Snart, no matter how amazing Legends of Tomorrow has become since he was a cast member in Season 1. He's my favorite character in the whole drat Arrowverse, but at least my two runner-up favorites are also on Legends now.

Laterite posted:I'd say the Jonah Hex episode (S1E11) is worth watching, as are the last 2 episodes of the season (15&16). IIRC the Jonah Hex one was sort of the first time they start leaning into the "Time Idiots" self-awareness. Yeah, if you're a big enough comic fan there's a lot of fun easter eggs and characters like Jonah Hex, Connor Hawke, Degan, etc in S1. Honestly, I don't think S1 is nearly as bad as people say. Don't get me wrong, its not good. Like I said, the main plot sucks and the main characters are drags and that's a tough sell. But a lot of what people love about Legends is there and if you just don't get too worked up about it and know that it gets better and finds itself as it goes then its fine. Basically, watch a few episodes and ask yourself this question. Do you hate the Hawks and Savage and their story? Do you like some of the rest of the idiots and the time and comic hijinks? Then you'll be fine continuing. It will payoff.

There was a one-off joke a few episodes ago where Brandon Routh grew a mustache and it made everything worse. The actor who once played Superman....grew a mustache...and screwed everything up.

Yeah, looking back through the episode summaries I started remembering other fun and/or crazy moments from that season, it's just that there was so much awful with the Hawk people and Savage that dragged it down. I also watched it in mini-binges off my DVR so the fun stuff did stick with me a little more. I could definitely see where someone watching from week to week would get frustrated and check out after a few episodes. E: And actually, even Savage wasn't so bad by the end. The actor (and/or the writers) seemed to get more of a handle on what he was all about, and how ridiculous the whole thing was. The one where he and Kendra were in the '50s was fairly decent.

Not really? Most CYOA books are just one true narrative, a few much shorter possible divergences from that main path, and a bunch of instant deaths. Telltale games were about as reactive as long narrative-driven games get, aside from the linearity caused by them being episodic titles they were up there with games like Alpha Protocol in terms of having the same few major plot beats and set pieces but a ton of variance in the characters and reactions when they were at their best. I think that's just an inherent problem that interaxtive stories are going to have so long as people have these unrealistic expectations, if they have a ton of variance then they're going to have to be very short due to the resources increasing exponentially with every major divergence and if they're longer stories with major consequences for decisions then inevitably you're going to have a bunch of people who have a bad experience because they made the "wrong" choices.

Lena Dunham is interesting because she was gifted the easiest path to success and managed to be horrible enough to have everyone have issues with her. And then she continued to get jobs. What a loving blessed life.

Yeah having your first movie you directed when you were like 23 go into the Criterion Collection must have been sweet. That's like Paul Thomas Anderson level of skill.

Lena Dunhan owns purely for how merely mentioning her in passing makes a bunch of dudes materialize to holler the same tired talking points about nepotism and how fat/ugly/annoying she is. That kind of dedication to putting a female in her place is usually limited to videogames and comic books, not Criterion Collection filmmakers.

One time I tried to watch Girls and didn't like it at all and beyond that I have no idea who Lena Dunham is other than she pisses people off and some poo poo about her sister maybe? Now, generally I'm a fan of someone who pisses off the internet like that, but I also just heard she's a trash person.

She defended some sexual predator guy and attacked the victim and later admitted she was wrong. I think she also molested her little sister and wrote about it somewhere.
