- Comment on The golden age of DVDs isn’t over yet for anime fans 8 months ago:
Blu-Rays are great. Local play with a higher bitrate than any streaming allows (AFAIK). Only issues are price and equipment. DVD, not so much. I haven’t bought a DVD for a new movie in well over a decade

I mean, the Raimi movies are looked back on pretty fondly and made millions. Spider Man 3 may not have reviewed the best, but it still made $895M at box office, which is an enviable sum today, almost 20 years later.

forget about a new franchise
This mindset is exactly why these movies continue to drop and flop. Focus on making one good movie before you try to plan out an entire universe.

- Comment on [Video essay] The Inevitable Downfall Of True Detective 9 months ago:
Appreciate the comment but I have to disagree with almost all of it. As a disclaimer, ive only seen the first two episodes. My thoughts:
You’re right about the Fargo borrowing, but that just means the best parts of NC make me just want to watch Fargo instead. The characters all come across as caricatures in my eyes, too, and are impossible for me to like. If HBO feels like it’s appropriate to call a show True Detective without the showrunner at the helm, I think it’s appropriate to compare that show to its other seasons, and the two cop leads have none of the likeability of Cohle or Harrelson’s characters in S1. Jodie Foster in particular is bad, whether that’s from the writing, directing, or performance, I don’t know but I suspect it’s all three.
Exposition is forced. Pacing is all over the place. Both of which could’ve probably been helped if the show wasn’t cut down from 8 episodes to 6. The intro is insultingly long, which isn’t something I’ve ever criticized about a show ever. The CGI opening in the first episode set a theme of rushed production and genuinely cool concept which has continued for everything I’ve seen.
- Comment on [Video essay] The Inevitable Downfall Of True Detective 9 months ago:
Season One took Nic Pizzolatto eight years to write IIRC. It shows, too, the first season is near perfect, but that kind of pace could just never work for a TV series. HBO ordered another season and he did the best he could do but it fell flat. Same for S3 before he left the series.
I really hoped Night Country could be a new chapter in the True Detective mythos but it’s shaping up to be the second worst in the series. Not even Issa López’s directing can save the production issues that are apparent in the final cut.

Came here to say the same thing. You could replace any noun or name in this headline with anything else and it would have the same effect for me

The decision to open with that God awful Caribou CGI was certainly… brave. I
I had tempered excitement with the cast and premise but if Episode 1 is indicative of the themes and pacing of the rest of the season, I have my doubts that this wont just be joining the previous two seasons as “I’d rather be watching the real TD”

I’m more of a fan of the time he scripted two underage actors to grope each other on camera actually
- Comment on Wes Anderson Sets Bill Murray, Michael Cera & Benicio Del Toro For Next Feature 10 months ago:
“Never a big fan” means I’d say something about how he’s just been a Greatest Hits director for his last few films but agree that he’s still one of the more original mainstream American of the past twenty years.
“The last straw” means “Wait, there’s no way this guy is oblivious to the accusations surrounding Bill Murray and he’s making a conscious decision to finance a sexual predator.”
Yes, I will be less of a fan

- Comment on Tourists write-off uninsured rental BMW 4WD in river crossing gone horribly wrong in Iceland 11 months ago:
I know they’re not the same thing. But (from my limited experience with European car discussion), 4WD is used to refer to both AWD And what we’d call in America as “real” 4WD. Watch any old Top Gear episode with a Subaru to see what I mean. Or, just watch the video. The BMW X-series is marketed as AWD in the US, but the OP title and YouTube video both call it 4WD.

It’s always been interesting to me how what we (in America) call AWD is called 4WD in Europe
- Comment on The second season of The Last of Us will debut in 2025 11 months ago:
Can’t complain. There are plenty of great shows to catch up on in the meantime and the revolving door writing/production strategy of the 2010s put out a lot of shit.

Description isn’t advocacy. I’m not “making an argument” because there’s no argument to be made. It’s a fact that Sony only sells limited access licenses on the Playstation Store. Yeah, we can both agree that it’s BS and pirating is better, etc., but putting out misinformation that people ever owned that media to begin with accomplishes nothing.
- Comment on PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For 11 months ago:
I agree. What you’re saying doesn’t contradict me at all.
- Comment on PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For 11 months ago:
You own a limited access license. It’s not a hard concept to understand.
- Comment on PlayStation To Delete A Ton Of TV Shows Users Already Paid For 11 months ago:
Buying is owning, though. In this case, you own a license to access Sony’s media on several conditions.
