I'm finally getting around to His Dark Materials Season 2. Surprised there wasn't a thread about it. Anyway it continues to be a good adaption of the books, and all the child characters are good actors. The only performance I don't buy is Lin Manuel Miranda's. He's hilariously miscast in his role as a scruffy aeronaut.

Shadow and Bone is probably too YA for my tastes but these film studies make me want to watch it. Unfortunately the real thing isn’t this vibrant. https://mobile.twitter.com/ArchApolar/status/1388386339482050560

Annabel Pee posted:Just came here to post this, wasn’t a fan of his old stuff but this was amazing. Hit a bit too close to home seeing the lockdown related depression stuff. Yeah Bo Burnhams new special is good! I mean, I’ve liked al this stuff a fair bit but this had some really good parts. He even seems like he could transition into a Father John Misty type performer as he ages. Open Source Idiom posted:Creamerie ended this week. This sounds really good! I’ll try to find it somewhere.

Chairman Capone posted:I mean, one of the recurring things in the show is that the company treats its regular employees like total poo poo, and that the unseen corporate heads in Montreal are only ever in an antagonist role, I don't think the show is 100% pro-Ubisoft propaganda. Probably Ubi requires certain namedrops or otherwise gets to give some notes but it seems they've managed to otherwise keep them at arms length. Before anything they have to make an entertaining show that doesn't feel like its pandering to corporate overlords. Apple also probably gets to strike off anything that appears to be blatant Ubi marketing.

My gut reaction is that this gonna be bad. But it could just be the trailer doing it a disservice. The visuals look alright. Almost thought I was looking at Brock Samson.

Escobarbarian posted:No way thanks for posting about this in here for the first time Yeah no problem. Biggest issue with this season is how it flies by. 16 minute episodes make for easy viewing but I’m so used to Netflix series using the streaming format to bloat their runtime rather than just go with whatever works. Now to wait 2 years for season 3 which I’m sure I’ll also be late to post about.

I just watched the Tables sketch again. That actress is a genius.

I found a way to watch Creamerie which someone recommended many pages back. It’s very good. The Gweneth Paltrow wellness woman is so hateable and the 3 protags are each amazing in their own way.

Mu Zeta posted:Their cult seems so small in numbers. The way they talk about the group you'd think they control the whole world. but I feel like we've seen maybe a dozen of them at once at most and that's including the enforcers. Probably due to filming in covid. It was believable to me because maybe a lot of people died off after the apocalypse basically happened. Plus it’s occurring in rural New Zealand. I just finished binging it and wasn’t a big fan of the ending. I thought it was a limited series but they set up for a season 2 that may not ever happen so that puts a bit of a damper on how I’d recommend it. I did enjoy it overall and the acting was excellent though.

I’m watching the second season of Back starring Mitchell and Webb. The way it’s impossible to tell whether Webb’s character is actually a master manipulator and basically evil or just a sort of desperate man who is well intentioned is infuriating but makes for excellent drama.

STAC Goat posted:I just caught up on Kevin Can F**k Himself and I'm really curious if we ever see the real Kevin. Early on I wasn't sure how to take him. A lovely husband and selfish rear end, sure. But then the episode where Allison opens up to Patty kind of opened my eyes along with hers. The stuff Kevin does in the sitcom format sucks but also gets watered down. But the way Allison describes it in the dark real world suddenly takes a much more sinister tone. Suddenly I'm watching all those sitcom scenes and wondering is Kevin yelling? Is he threatening her? How rough is this? What does Kevin even look like? Its interesting we've never seen his dad or Neil in the real world either. They're this goofy sitcom crew when we see them, but the real world version of that could be so much uglier. Yeah I watched the first episode and it’s hard to get a handle on how awful he actually is. It’s tough to watch regardless. Kind of makes me want to skip to the finale

I'm curious about Wheel of Time. I never read the books and am not about to, despite being a big fantasy fan. I can't do the whole "farmboy who might be the chosen one" thing. But I can sit through a couple hours of tv to see if they've made something of the story. If it seems interesting maybe I'll keep watching.

That sucks, I liked a fair amount of their sketches and Moore had great screen presence. Unfortunately they didn’t have much luck in breaking into the big time, I saw their film Ms March in theatres as a teenager and it was awful. A lot of the sketches still hold up though.

CeeJee posted:I agree, a show like Succession is also about rich people being terrible but there is a lot more happening there then double booked suites and a lovely marriage. The look also reminds me a lot of The Pacific which had a similar ugly filter to make sure the beautiful scenery did not clash with the ugliness of the events. Yeah I’m split on White Lotus. It does not grab me like Succession but I still get a huge sense of foreboding so I want to see where that’s headed
