Uncle Wemus posted:Are guys really watching Das Boot for fun? That list looks more like a list of what movies boomer dads like some of them (men who rank movies on imdb) certainly are keep in mind that list is also 100% about degree of gender disparity, not absolute rankings, so there are multiple films with higher rankings for men lower on the list

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuMiq7eg91M hmmm extremely high profile voice cast (even if trailer dialogue is eh), but this looks like a far, far, far more direct translation than The Boys or other Amazon initiatives (tbf the source material is massively better than The Boys)

note that that chart is potentially misleading of the way they're aggregating services as an example the "Disney+" category is up only ~5.6m instead of the indicated 16.2m, the bulk of the growth is actually Hotstar in India

Atrocious Joe posted:I'm not a huge fan of legacy characters, but at this point making the Punisher a Black vet who goes to war with the cops after they murder his family is more contemporary of a story than Frank Castle's war against the mob. Marvel doesn't really do legacy characters the same way DC does, and they already set up an obvious "modern" successor in Rachel Cole-Alves but never pulled the trigger and I cannot see Marvel ever doing that concept, they're a Disney subsidiary that does propaganda comics for Northrop Grumman with a long history of succ and copaganda

quote:“I was miserable,” McKellen told Time Out about predominantly acting in front of green screens during the making of “The Hobbit.” The actor brings up his frustration with the VFX work in “The Hobbit” during an interview in his documentary, “McKellen: Playing the Part.” When asked to elaborate on why “The Hobbit” made him miserable, McKellen told Time Out that he preferred the location shooting of “The Lord of the Rings.”

*Is* Rorschach the go to evil dude? Most of the emphasis on him not actually being a good guy is really just a response to the tendency of many readers to misinterpret him as the “correct” “hero” of the narrative, and overlook the fact that he’s fundamentally a murderous right-wing reactionary crank. It’s not a matter of singling out Rorschach as the worst villain of the lot (he isn’t), it’s just pushback on the tendency to view him through far too positive a lens (which perhaps sometimes goes too far in the other direction, especially for people extrapolating a bit too much to/from real world right wing reactionaries, or inclined to do things like valorize Ozymandias).

indigi posted:friends, while lowest common denominator predictable network comedy, is at least executed very well. the actors can play their character’s game very well and the writers know exactly how to move the pieces around the board. you could do worse for background noise while you cook or whatever. HP doesn’t even reach that low bar imo, especially the early movies (I’ve only seen number two or three the whole way through and none of the children know how to act yet) I haven't seen them in a zillion years so I may be way off base, but my impression was always that it's not really the child actors that make the first few HP movies iffy (they're not great but at that point the most prominent comparisons were 90's kids movies and Jake Lloyd's unfortunate experience in TPM), it's the editing/pacing. You'll notice that the films have plenty of very good actors in adult roles, and they don't do much to elevate the experience regardless of how they do individually. The Chris Columbus movies in particular feel like filmed versions of parts of the books presented in order (but with parts cut short/omitted), rather than cohesive films. So if you are (or were) a fan of the books and squint at them right + use knowledge from the books to fill in gaps its very possible to overlook their deficiencies, but if you don't have that background knowledge everything feels disjointed/weird.

Vorenus and Pullo are best friends and I love them and wish they’d make Rome 2: Romier and also bring back Marc Antony who is extremely sexy Eh, it really felt more like the budget just ran out than a pure stylistic choice (exacerbated by the cancellation and compressed ending that soon followed)

indigi posted:that was season one, they didn’t show any real military encounters behind what the series opens with (like 25 dudes) Right, but that’s what I mean - the show opens with a pretty good one one, suggesting that they were by no means opposed to having them, but the scale is small enough that it immediately suggests budget constraints (which is fine, as mentioned Rome was *very* early in the “Golden Age”). Then the show is written in such a way that it suggests a big battle scene is coming (for more than historic reasons), but it gets montaged out in a way that basically screams [INSERT BATTLE FOOTAGE HERE]. Then the show gets canceled partway through the next season. Everything else was high quality, and the show wasn’t ever going to be military porn, but it definitely gave an overall impression that it was eschewing action sequences for budgetary rather than stylistic reasons, and if they’d had unlimited money they absolutely would have chosen to put more of that stuff in there. It was an eminently reasonable/correct decision for the show (which was already stupidly expensive), and I agree with the sentiment that we’d be better off with more shows focusing on small scale execution over expensive bombast, but Rome always felt like the lack of big action sequences was down to resource constraints rather than a pure focus in the vision of what the show would be or w/e.
