    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I've read the books a dozen times and never once walked away with the impression that Paul's Jihad was being presented as a bad thing or a cautionary tale. Wasnt it a necessary part of the Golden Path? I don't recall Leto ever looking back and cursing Paul for going too far. He always...

    Constellation

    Part way through e2, this has a lot of promise. Heres hoping it doesnt go the way of True Detective S3. (Lost used to be the reference point for fucking terrible endings, but obviously that records been blown out of the fucking water now)

    this. they literally showed a giant fucking frozen sea dragon then in the next scene its already forgotten. The "it was all purgatory and fake" ending to Lost was better than this shit. Just astonishingly bad and dumb. Literally doesnt even attempt to explain a single one of the shows...

    Genetic Testing & Family Tree Search Engines

    Wait, what? You seriously can't think of any disadvantages to putting your DNA (and the DNA of all your relatives by association) in a government database forever? The limit of your imagination on this subject is a plague engineered to kill one teacher? I think you lack imagination. And also...

    True Detective

    Both S2 and S3 were unwatchably boring. Pointless. Nothing happened, no reason to care about a single one of the characters. At least not in the first half of either season, even I reached my limit of pointless self punishment after that.

    Deadpool & Wolverine

    I don't know if tiktok/youtube or the people who actually do that behavior (scrolling and watching video after video) are the root cause of the problem. All I know is they both need to go on the fire for the human race to persist.

    True Detective

    Yeah y'all are going with some totally different (and bizarre) definition of the word likeable. Joffrey was a great bad guy. No one called him likeable. The Alien in the original Alien was a great monster. No one called it likeable. That annoying bitch who played the head of Vought in S1 of...

    All this talk about "I don't like any of the characters" makes me wonder if everyones forgotten Breaking Bad. Not to say this shitshow can be compared to BB in quality. Just saying you can have a show where every single character is a hateable piece of shit, and still have a great show. Not...

    I don't get the TVA hate. Loki is the best MCU since Endgame and its not even close. Why *not* build on that?

    Don't get me wrong. California burritos were great, I ate the hell out of those things when I lived out there. I just always laughed at them and wondered why they didnt just make two normal sized burritos instead.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I always thought "mission burrito" referred to the comically oversized "two full meals rolled into a single tortilla" style typical of California burritos.

    Did the inscription stutter or something? The *only* question is whether his Cap abilities stack in any way with the Power of Thor. I don't see how they would, since they're almost entirely physical abilities that Thor has at a higher level. The only exception I can think of is that Cap...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    I assume youre objecting to the foolishly large size sometimes associated with trade paperbacks? Every book should be a 4x6 paperback, other formats are impractical and gay. But the absolute worst, hands down, is the hard cover with that fucking ridiculous dust jacket.

    True Detective

    I was optimistic, but they only get 6 episodes? No way they resolve the supernatural plotline in a satisfying way. They're either gonna scooby doo it or - much worse - ""leave it up to the audience to decide what was real"", the laziest hack ever invented by Hollywood.

    This was actually a well made and interesting video. Just straight up "heres how it works" with no BS. It could have been 10 minutes instead of 60 with proper editing but still better than most cooking videos these days.

    True Detective

    S2 and S3 were both terrible. S2 just benefited from following S1, we all gave it a chance for far longer than we otherwise would have. If he did S2 and S3 its probably safe to just take the inverse of his opinions.

    Her reaction is pretty hilariously un self aware, though. Imagine if a politician failed to deliver their campaign promises, and were criticized for it, and they came back with that same ridiculous "omg you guys are so mean!" schtick. Or a pro athlete lost a game, and were criticized for it...

    Skip seasons 2 and 3, I'm telling you. I watched like half of each one before I realized my mistake. S4 is great so far though.

    I dislike both of those versions compared to the original, but they're both obviously superior to the cave man style "move my whole goddam arm to move the cursor a few pixels" style that most mongoloids kept using.

    Decided there was no reason to continue season 3. Booooring. 1 episode into season 4. This is a completely different show than seasons 2 or 3. A much, much better show.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    What? Guess I didnt notice that season existed. WTF Daredevil was pretty watchable but WTF, they really never explained how he's still alive? It'd be like having Iron Man just randomly show up and start chillin with the Avengers. Dude was dead.

    What in the actual fuck are you talking about? I eat tons of bacon, my comment had nothing to do with fat phobia. Raw egg whites are gross.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    He showed up already in She Hulk, right? Did they explain how the fuck he's not dead? I thought he was crushed under a falling building or something at the end of his series / the defenders. I dont see how the superpower of "seeing without your eyes" gets him out of that one.

    Partially raw eggs like in Sydney's omelet or that video shown above, are fucking disgusting. I know its the official fancyass French way to do it. But its gross and nobody wants that shit. Serve that shit in a restaurant and its getting sent back 9 times out of ten. I don't care that its...

    Yes, really. This forum has an excellent track record on TV and movie recommendations. I have a hard time thinking of a case where the consensus got it wrong.

    Its not a bad strategy at all. If theres one thing the FoH consensus consistently gets right, its TV/movies.
