Really wish that streaming had been a thing when I was a teenager so my generation could have gotten into Kolchak: The Night Stalker, UFO, and The Invaders. Now they're out there but lost in a sea of content. Reruns kept some stuff in the public eye but more bad than good.

Awesome, that sounds like extremely my poo poo and I haven't heard of them. It's really a shame there aren't good discovery tools around finding new channels you'd enjoy. Getting a giant firehose algorithm from YouTube's side is useless.

All the people of the Bahamas that worked tirelessly to build this impossible thing because they were excited about an event like that coming to their home who never got paid...just, Jesus man drat.

The Coens making their first sequel to anything would be a sight to behold. Whatever they'd do I'm sure it'd be nontraditional in the best possible way. I don't think we'd ever be at risk for Another Adventure of The Dude.

Okay. I just watch Star Trek: Discovery's newest episode without having seen anything from the show before. I know it's meant to be the most "Trek" of all the episodes by a long shot, but... drat. I'd watch the hell of out a show that were all like this. It feels like the ideal melding of what's best about the OS, Next Gen, and JJ-Trek. e: well maybe not the best of the OS because nobody punched a lizardman in the face or tried to bang a space babe, but the second best in that it was a self-contained, on-the-nose morality tale exploring a simple philosophical idea. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Jan 26, 2019 |

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Just hop into the mirror universe and swap in mirror Pike in his place, Chrono Trigger style. I was shocked that this wasn't what their plan for Jason Isaac's character. Seems like a win-win, have a false mirror universe version of the captain, have him defeated, rescue the good universe version and instill him a the new captain. Really seems like a missed opportunity.

Guy Mann posted:so-bad-its-good media To this day I simply can't understand the concept. Like a thing, hate a thing, but don't point and laugh at a thing because you think you're better than it. Try to meet a filmmaker halfway if you're going to watch something that didn't achieve what they intended, or ignore their intention and enjoy it with death of the author in mind. If you go to a Rocky Horror screening and laugh at it you simply have no taste, and if you go to The Room and laugh at it you're a child and a bully.

Looks like Y the Last Man is going to series for a 2020 debut. Michael Green's involvement in anything will forever be an intriguing prospect for me because of Blade Runner 2049, but the most exciting part of this for me is the fact that after Trump got elected he decided to go back to the drawing board on his approach. So to me it feels like the ideal approach, ideal time, and ideal team.

A) Kevin Smith has DEFINITELY jerked it to Harley Quinn are you kidding? B) Jared Leto DEFINITELY creeps on underage girls including my ex in her teenage years C) The only interesting thing you could do with Harley Quinn is to have her leave an abusive relationship with the Joker for Ivy. Even her creepo creator recognized this D) Clerks 2 is in no way shape or form "alright" E) Altered Carbon is underrated and very pretty These are my opinions.

I'd like the pacing to be better, though, it could have been quite a few episodes shorter imho. But Netflix gonna Netflix.

Chairman Capone posted:Seven-episode animated adaptation of Alien: Isolation is in the works, and could potentially be out as early as... April? https://observer.com/2019/02/alien-isolation-series-disney-fox-sale-box-office/ Huh. When I first read this headline I imagined that it was going to be an anime-style adaptation or somesuch. But it's being made by the same folks who did the game, which probably means they'll be reusing all the models and environments from the game. That's actually an incredibly smart way to approach this sort of a project to keep the budget low and the profitability high.

Rhyno posted:The New Mutants episode was the goddamned worst. I couldn't even make it there. I loved the first season but the second season was either all fan-service, references, or repeats of the exact same beats. I think that Temple of Doom scene with Brett Gelman playing the physical manifestation of the fanbase was the scene that finally made me give up.

Finally watched the Outer Limits episode Demon with a Glass Hand and boy oh boy did James Cameron have balls to argue that Terminator wasn't a ripoff. I'd heard about the court case for years but always assumed that the similarities would just be in the science-fiction concepts used as a base for the story, but it's the whole dang thing. I mean, both are independently great and very different in places, but it definitely crosses the line of inspiration. This really should be a feature film. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Feb 22, 2019 |

Altered Carbon season 2 teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j75gM70k20 The second half of the season was weaker than the first, and I know it didn't click for some people at all, but I loved season 1. Pumped for this, Mackie is a charming dude. My two worries are that they either go too anime with it like like the first season occasionally dipped into with the sister, or that they go really self indulgent with the flashback stuff. Guy Mann posted:Stephen King has basically rewritten entire episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents with only minor changes that were later given their own adaptations but he never denied it so I dunno if that makes it any different. I think my favorite was Autopsy Room Four, his rewrite of Breakdown where instead of tears the involuntary action that shows he's still alive is him getting a boner. Ha, love it. I mean, to some degree I can't really blame a creator for watching something and wishing they could put their own spin on it. The line is fuzzy between inspiration and copyright infringement, and what one person thinks is enough of a change another might feel is too close for comfort. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Feb 22, 2019 |
