OT: Movies/TV Shows

[Habspatrol]

Binge watched The Bear over the course of the last couple of days. Excellent show. Jeremy Allen White is fantastic. As good as he was on Shameless, he's even better on The Bear.

They release like 3 marvel movies a year...what are you two on about exactly?

There's still tons of oxygen left in the room for non superhero action movies

It's the studios and their unwillingness to take financial risk on anything that isn't established and profitable IP that's the problem.

It's mostly because the market isn't America anymore, it's Asia. That's where the big money is made now. Movies with a lot of dialogue to translate and the kind of cultural nuance that can only be understood if you're American doesn't sell in Asia. But explosions and car chases translate easily.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

Yeah, 1989 was so special even though I didn't like Batman all that much. Gone from too little to too much.

You can thank your (big brother? Dad? Uncle?) Tim Burton for that. He's too weird for my liking. I've never liked any of his movies.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

DC as well. It's overkill.
It's more of a fact that there's so little options now in terms of different genres as "Event" movies.

This. You go to a suburban multiplex with a dozen screens thinking you're going to have options only to discover that 9 of the 12 screens are all showing the same damn movie.

So galadriel goes from too heroic to too cunty in a week. Nice.

Lotsa valiant white males in this episode. Musk is gonna be ripshit.

 

[Volcanologist]

no she was too cunty last week as well. and the one before. magic 8 ball says good chance for next week too.

it's getting more grating now as the plot advances, that's all.

Well since she lives so long her period must last a year at least.

 

[zeke]

but she was all smilie at the end.

 

[MindzEye]

Everything wrong with the character can be summed up by Elendil telling her that she reminds him of his 2 ~20 yr old human children.

Because he's right, she acts like it.

 

[Volcanologist]

but she was all smilie at the end.

when they were riding the horses I had to debate whether that was a smile or simply the wind pushing her lips back from her fangs.

 

[MindzEye]

That shot was incredibly bad

can't believe the writers called her out for it like that.

 

[Volcanologist]

so Episode 3: The Black Elf Gets Enslaved

(by a bunch of guys who burn at the slightest of sun contact, lol)

wait...are the Orcs actually Irish??

 

[zeke]

orcs came from tortured elfs iirc.

 

[MindzEye]

orcs came from tortured elfs iirc.

"Adar" means "father" in sindar elven apparently fwiw.

 

[zeke]

"Adar" means "father" in sindar elven apparently fwiw.

I can see your nerdboner from here!

 

[Volcanologist]

that one always kills me

but the Orcs were made as a mockery of the elves.

 

[MindzEye]

Not intended to mock, but yeah.
