Jonny 290 posted:last night i finally watched rise of skywalker. I liked it, they tied up loose ends, it wasnt actively bad like prequels i liked the bit where they went to the Planet of the McGuffins to get the McGuffin to open the secret McGuffin Room that would let them get the McGuffin that would lead them to the final McGuffin.

NoneMoreNegative posted:I watched a few episodes of Who 4, Tom Baker for nostalgia's sake and I was at least entertained by his mad-eyed acting and the cardboard sets. Best Who (though not a high bar) Tom Baker and a couple of the Silvester McCoy stories (the later more for the character stuff than the plot though) are the only Old Who worth watching. The rest is literally unwatchable - just hours of running around in piles of gravel that are supposed to be an alien planet to escape from terrifying monsters like an inflatable pool chair or a man with a filthy tarp over him waving a plastic bottle covered in foil. not that the new ones are necessarily better, considering one of them ends with a guy getting blowjobs from a paving slab with a face on it.

see that's the thing. all the stuff that I associate with the series isn't really in the first one that much. reggie the balding ponytailed ice-cream man turns up about 3 times as a side character and just vaguely helps out even though he's arguably the main protagonist of the later films. the balls - the iconic image of the series, well there's just one and it kills one guy and then gets destroyed. even the Tall Man doesn't really do a whole lot directly considering he's the main villain. it was still ok to watch for the terrible acting and silly effects, but i think it's easily the weakest entry in the series Sweevo fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Sep 29, 2020 |

Powerful Two-Hander posted:I haven't watched Red dwarf past series uhhhh 6 I think? Whatever the one where red dwarf itself was back with all the crew and they had waaaay too much cgi going on. that's series 8 - the one where they spent the entire series in the brig and it's full of prison rape jokes. 1-6 were the good ones (4-6 especially). 7 is where chris barrie left so they replaced rimmer with kochanski and forgot to write any good jokes. 8 is the prison one. 9 was the mini-series, 10 was the first new proper series and isn't bad. haven't watched the rest yet Sweevo fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Nov 21, 2020 |

Fart Sandwiches posted:the worst part of any fantasy / sci fi (I guess really any genre but it’s worst in these) is having to read about the authors hosed up sex things. like it’s so ridiculous for rothfuss to not only have Amazonian sex ninjas but they also didn’t know that babies came from sex and STIs didn’t exist in their society because they were clean or something still better than the ones who fill their books with rape because it's the only way they know how to make a woman vulnerable, a villain bad, or a hero motivated

Schadenboner posted:I haven't watched many MCU movies (Howard The Duck and the Dr. Magic one plus the one where Spiderman is a jerk and dances and the 1 or 2 Spidersman before that) but goddamn is the CGI sterile. modern CGI has literally ruined movies. if it doesn't look like poo poo then it dates badly and looks like poo poo two years later instead. its why every action film has to show 1000 buildings collapsing and have overly-choreographed scenes of characters ducking and weaving for no reason except to avoid the 500 CGI things flying all over the place because idiot film-makers think more things on screen = more impressive

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:I feel like it was a callback to aliens honestly it was anime, because the wachowski's are obsessed with anime like they think it's this really obscure untapped vein of pop culture that only they know about. hence why matrix 3 was 40 minutes of characters you don't give a poo poo about talking about how they're going to have a dumb anime mech fight, then 40 minutes of a dumb anime mech fight, then 40 minutes of "this is really subtle and you might have missed it, but Neo is jesus, do you get it? <wink wink>"

the problem with the hobbit is too many dwarves. 5 or 6 of them literally don't do anything. the one with the axe in his head, what does he add to the story? do you even remember his name?

pointsofdata posted:- In Our Time has some science episodes. Sometimes these focus more on the history of science but they are always good. This is the only one I actually enjoy listening to physics topics on, way less bs and more knowledgeable guests than most places. seconding In Our Time. it covers a very broad range of topics from science to philosophy to literature to history and everything in between, and there are 22 years worth of episodes to comb through so you're sure to find something interesting whether its dark matter, chinese legalism, or welsh mythology. it does tend to be a bit more about the thinking around the topic and the historical context that created it rather than the topic itself, but still worth listening to.
