i watched a bunch of random stuff.
Resident Alien
can't tell if this is a comedy (it's not funny) or a drama (too much quasi-comedy around to stick) but the plot is of an alien who takes the shape of a doctor in a small town, and this is the excuse to have an actor act like he can't human. result: disastrous.
How many people boiled so far?great new episode on Shogun, if anyone doubted. Shit's going down the drain fast, but no spoilers.
only one, the smallest number.How many people boiled so far?
If you want SS boobage recommend The Voyeurs. On Prime. It’s a decent thriller mystery with DDscould you kindly break down what portion of those 6.5 points are due to Sydney Sweeney's boobage, and which are due to the story?
The very end of the episode was so fucking stupid and such a facepalm worthy moment.great new episode on Shogun, if anyone doubted. Shit's going down the drain fast, but no spoilers.
really? i thought it was a shocker. I mean, both the thing that you're referring to, but also the thing that happens immediately beforehand.The very end of the episode was so fucking stupid and such a facepalm worthy moment.
It wasn't what happened exactly, it was how it happened and just how stupid that was.really? i thought it was a shocker. I mean, both the thing that you're referring to, but also the thing that happens immediately beforehand.

I mean it's literally raining in nearly every scene in this show and no one is ever slipping all over the place. Then out of nowhere this dude slips and hits his head on the rock and dies? Like come on. I would rather him gotten killed in battle than that dumb shit. And it's not like they have shown him as some clumsy person or anything. It was just so random.
And if they made it so he slipped on the guys robe it's even stupider. Try standing on a wet towel and see if someone can make your feet fall out from under you with little efford. It was hard to tell which happened. I rewinded it to see and still couldn't tell.
Are you trying to trick DigDog into writing a bloody thesis on that???Fine do a twist or whatever but don't make it so utterly dumb.

I might. As I wrote in a post before, uncivilized Japanese behavior disturbs me. I still can't get the boiling scene from the first episode out of my head. May finish the rest if I absolutely fail to find something better to watch.Have you watched this whole season of Shogun so far?
i watched *almost* all of Silo - the tv series based on the books https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silo_(series)
and i got bored around E03. By E04 i decided it was ok to skip to E10, then i watched 4-9 by fast forwarding. Tbh i didn't miss much. Yeah ok the sets are nice, the actors are good, but by Jove you got barely enough plot content for a single 2h film and they pace content with the dropper, so when i see the story developing and then abruptly having a character introduced with big flashing sings that say "the sole purpose of this character is to dilute the main content" i lose all interest in the show.
It's not good. Or rather, it could be good if you watch it once a week and really like the visuals are are ok with a tiny drop of content. FYI the book have far more content.
Also, there's something that annoys me, but i'll have to SPOILER it.
Obviously these guys live in a postapocalyptic underground silo, and the female protagonist finds out that some shady mastermind has been altering the data file and "live" images of the outside world, so as to keep them imprisoned instead of releasing them back into the newly green world. She finds this out by recovering a supposedly nonexisting data file which show a recording of another person's mission to the outside, where the earth is back to being luscious with nature.
Then at the very end of the show you discover that actually, it's the opposite. The "the earth is green again" video is fake, and it's superimposed on the helmet screen of those who go out, but actually the world is very much dead.
Ok so, fairly basic scriptwriting trope, double-reversed. First the "the images we see are not real" trope, and then you reverse it into "the real images are not real, it's the non-real ones which are really real!".
ok ok but ... why?
Like, what is the purpose of having your hazmat suit show you a fake superimposed image of a green world? I really can't think of WHY this would have any usefulness to ANYONE, to the good guys, to the bad guys. Even reading further in the books, this still serves fuck all of a purpose, even if this was meant as a trap to have people take their helmet off (which they do not do, and still die immediately) it would still serve no purpose due to the near-instantaneous death of anyone who walks out. Why does that video/software even exist at all?
So yeah. I wouldn't really recommend it.
ok so i have now watched all the god know, five hours? of the new Dune. To even begin to compare this to the 1984 version, is just pointless. I don't mean "if you think this is better" but if you think this is anywhere in the same real of filmmaking, we can't have a discussion. We don't speak the same filmmaking language. I think i had more fun watching The Green Knight.
Rinse and wash up those bad memories of the new Dune by rewatching The Green Knight twice!I think i had more fun watching The Green Knight.
