As much as I liked P&R, nothing in it came even close to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ht_GI2zOxo Everything about this scene is flawless.

esperterra posted:I'm salty how Lady Stoneheart's story got nerfed for Beric. Lady Stoneheart was a wack character though. If anything, we should mourn the loss of Strong Belwas. Real talk, I feel like Stoneheart undercut the Red Wedding's impact since even if she's barely Cat, bringing a dead character back so soon (narratively speaking) felt off to me.

Belated but the best anime is Gankutsuou which is The Count of Monte Cristo in space and it owns bones. I think it's up on YouTube for free but it's only in 360p which is a shame since the show is gorgeous. It's also directed and partially written by the guy behind The Second Renaissance (aka the best part of the Animatrix) for what it's worth.

If Cinemax can bring back Strike Back they sure as hell can afford to bring The Knick back.

Sleeveless posted:The Cell and The Fall were both him largely just ripping off modern installation art, I think he ran out of things to plagiarize and between that and Eiko Ishioka dying he just went "welp I guess I'll just do edgy fairy tale retellings til I die" You do know that cross-sectionals existed before Damien Hirst, right? e: I didn't notice who I had quoted. I apologize for engaging.

Zaphod42 posted:Oh wow that looks super cool If you liked Disco Elysium, I would wholly recommend all of Mieville's oeuvre, specifically his Bas-Lag books. One of the throughlines of that trilogy is collectivism and socialism fighting tooth and nail against an oppressive regime over the course of the novels.

So far, the best part of Avenue 5 is Zach Woods' customer service character that's having a gradual mental breakdown. He's consistently the best part of the show.

Zaphod42 posted:Monster hunter is about murder hobos killing dinosaurs and dragons so they can make dresses and burgers out of them. You could do a lot with the actual background lore of Monster Hunter. Like according to stuff from the old artbooks, the reason why the MonHun world is in such a state is because Humanity (which used to be space age at least) subjugated the megafauna so thoroughly that elder dragons came together to absolutely wreck their poo poo, twice. You could easily turn that into a pro-ecological movie or do something neat with it but I'm sure Anderson will somehow make the movie about Milla being some sorta half dragon lady what kicks rear end.

Enos Cabell posted:After 5 episodes I've decided Avenue 5 is probably not ever going to be a show I'll enjoy, despite loving so many of the actors in it. Should I bother with Veep? It's one I always meant to get around to, but now I'm thinking maybe not. I like Avenue 5 but Veep is like several leagues above it. The first few seasons of Veep are fantastic and even the last couple are still real good.

Gonz posted:*DEATH GRIPS OUTTA NOWHERE* I would do every crime if I got a device that spiked people's karaoke with Death Grips. Just Takyon blaring on every goddamned speaker imaginable. nate fisher posted:Man Avenue 5 went from just ok to the best new show of 2020. I hope it gets a season 2 and we are all alive to watch it. I was really eh on Avenue 5 starting out but it rapidly improved every single episode and now I think it might just be one of my favorite shows of the year.

Dessel posted:Having watched 4 episodes of Plot Against America I can't seen to piece together the seemingly bad reception the show has had. It doesn't seem to having any glaring faults, though admittedly I do not know the source material. It is definitely anxiety inducing on several levels to the degree I have to pause an episode several times as I watch it. Maybe the show is too close for comfort in 2020? But I honestly couldn't imagine such a thing affecting how well the show is received. I liked the novel the show is based on but I definitely think it's a "this is really, really uncomfortable right now" air about it which is why some of my friends have refused to watch more of it past episode one. As a random aside, I love the juxtaposition of using The Road is Open Again as the theme song and the imagery of Americana slowly seguing into the Riefenstahl-directed scenes of Nazi Germany and the state-sponsored violence.

Yeah, the wheels don't start to fall off of Shameless (U.S.) until season 9 or so. Kev and V quickly become the heart of the show and give it legs for a while.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:The final episode just aired. Grim. I appreciated the overall feeling of confusion in the episode, where no one really seemed to know what was going on in the country. Of course the whole show is "Oops! No Subtext!" but it was very compelling. One thing I was hoping the show would've kept from the novel was Lindbergh's cuddling up to the Nazis and all of his abhorrent racism amounted to dick-all for the country because the Japanese still attack Pearl Harbor and drag the United States into the war after all. It really sold the grim pointlessness of expecting fascist promises to amount to anything.

CubanMissile posted:Does I’ll Be Gone in the Dark get any better or is it a documentary about Michelle McNamara and rich white lady true crime hobbyists all the way down? It was marketed first and foremost as a documentary about her and how delving into true crime stuff affected her and her family so it's not going to get better in that regard, no.

Game of Thrones was doomed from the outset when it didn't include the real hero of the story, Strong Belwas.

muscles like this! posted:Claire Saffitz has confirmed that she is not renewing her contract with Conde Nast so that's the end of her time at BA. It still shocks me how quickly the BA video empire imploded. All they had to do was pay their POC employees an equal wage and they just went "HAHA NOPE" and stopped everything.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I had a friend through high school and college who would incessantly parrot slurs “ironically” thanks to South Park jokes, including f****t, the n-word, “queer”, and that stupid loving Cartman thing where he’d accuse Jewish folks of carrying bags of gold around their necks. I wonder if he still does that poo poo now that several of our mutual friends (who he still hangs out with) have come out. I liked some South Park episodes (and the movie) growing up but I will never forgive it for its ironic racism bullshit. I grew up in a very predominantly white area and absolutely loved being called Token all the time. One of my other friends got called Jewboy non-stop as well. I've carried a grudge against the show for like 20 years because of that.
