They did 2 seasons with the moon, I am sure they can do two with Mars. I am also pretty sure they will not insert interstellar travel into the plot, because the show remains somewhat anchored in reality. The closest exo-planet we detected (which is orbiting the closest star) is 4 light years...

For insane Cuphead gameplay my stream of reference is TheMexicanRunner (also for a lot of odd retro games he randomly plays in his gauntlets).

Dude is 22, not 17. Odd thing to get wrong. Also, pole vaulting is pure madness.

Just recently binged that. Great show, which is not much of a surprise considering David Simon's track record. I'll need to check The Deuce and The Plot Against America in a near future to complete his whole body of work.

Just a precision : S.S. Rajamouli (famous for his Baahubali films) is woking in the South of India in Telugu, while Bollywood movies are made in Mumbay in Hindi. To my untrained eyes, I don't see much of a difference of style between the two though.

I checked only the first couple minutes, but I don't think it's that surprising that a person not interested in video game has no idea what twitch streamers or loot boxes are. Though, in this context, as Byr mentioned, the interviewer is here to be at the level of the least knowledgeable...

Hence the title ?

Is it @Ossoi , a mod or some TMDB contributor that has room temperature IQ ?

Amusingly, the people who played the Yakuza games can recognize the place (Kamurocho being modeled after Kabukicho). https://goo.gl/maps/p55QP4KwYxCTQCzE8

It's the pilot, not the runway.

cabbitcabbit addressed it while I was researching, but indeed the fact she is in stuff you did not see or did not remember does not mean her career died in any way shape or form. After Brown Bunny (2003) she has been in 31 movies (including some notable ones like Manderlay, Broken Flowers...

Chopper : Great. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford : Masterpiece. Killing Them Softly : not good. Blonde : Cautiously optimistic ?

Strange movie. It delivers so exactly what one could expect from it that it feels one could guess all the lines before they are uttered and that's entertaining and satisfying in a weird kind of way. It is also both a clone and a pastiche of the original - that was already pretty stylized - so we...

3 of the 5 leaders of Striking Distance are people who created the original Dead Space : Glen Schofield, Steve Papoutsis and Chris Stone (then as, respectively, creator/executive producer, co-producer and animation director). Also, Glen, at first, wanted Dead Space to take place in a space...

Is someone at Sony really in love with Twisted Metal or is that an IP that actually makes money and that people are interested in ? I know I am not.

Reasonably entertaining. I think this movie lacks the genuine passion for cinema and humanity of a JCVD. Here we have more of a light hearted comedy with a dash of action and a dash of meta that just name-drops dozens of movie titles.

Just seen Hit the Road by Panah Panahi. The name Panahi might be familiar to some as Panah is the son of Jafar, one of the most known iranian film director (I highly recommend Crimson Gold, Offside, Taxi Tehran or his recent 3 Faces - the last couple having been made using tricks as he has been...

No reason in particular, it's just that most of the movies I see I see in theaters and The Witch was not released around here. I think The Lighthouse was, but I am not even 100% sure with COVID and all. There are also periods when I see a lot of movies and periods when I don't, so if a movie is...

Saw this tonight. Decent attendance for a Sunday night. The doom and gloomer were probably in the wrong, but I guess we'll just need to wait and see what the numbers say. As for the movie, I was not overly impressed. In a way it's a bit meh because it's half assed. It's not great as some sort...

It was released on the 21st or 22nd of April in most countries, but on the 28th in Germany and is not out yet in France and Brazil (or Switzerland for that matter), so maybe wait a bit ?

For discoverability, streamers benefit greatly from interactions with each others. These interactions are greatly hampered if there are too many different platforms. That being said, a poor ads implementation that makes it tedious for viewers to jump from stream to stream is also bad for...

Look at it this way : during filming, it's a lot easier to replace the director than it is to replace the main actor. Also, for every story of an actor being a pain to work with, you find one of a director being a tyrant on set.

Cronenberg's first two feature films (that feel a bit like overlong student films really) have been added as DVD bonus to some of his classics. One of those was already titled Crimes of the Future, but I have only a very vague memory of it. It's a none issue since this one is not supposed to be...

With this type of stories, it's difficult to find the right balance between keeping things mysterious and moving the story forward. I feel this show makes a pretty decent job at finding this balance. Also, the whole structure works well (some people in this thread did not care for the 7th...

Most recent good movie with Willis is probably Motherless Brooklyn.

I had seen this talk by Kevin Smith a few years back, but rewatching it today gave it a whole new shine, because the producer at the heart of the story, Jon Peters, is a very funny secondary character in Licorice Pizza (played by Bradley Cooper).

Going through Smith's filmography, I think I have seen 12 out of the 36 movies he acted in. The best one I have seen is without a doubt Six Degrees of Separation followed by... Ali ?

Actually saw that a few years back in a film festival. I remember seeing it in the program and thinking "What a great title and I am ok with the classic premise, please be good !" And It was not :( I can't say I have seen many filipino movies I enjoyed. To be fair, too many of them were bad...

It's not one big community, but it makes social sense and also business sense for streamers to interact with each other, especially those who are heavily leaning on the "just chatting"/"Reality TV 2.0" type of content. The biggest / most connected streamers are those able to put together the...

Awsome and absurd action ? Baahubali 1 and 2. A two part over the top indian epic. The trailer makes it look normal. I assure you it is not ! :D

That seems like a very difficult show to make as opposed to something like Last of Us. Here there is not much interpersonal drama to work with and the journey is 90% combat... I guess you could go super experimental and focus on "story time on boat with Kratos", but that's not going to happen.

I would not be surprised if several open world games get delayed because Elden Ring raised the bar.

I guess they are only vaguely similar (teenager + technology + war), but I associate DARYL with WarGames :

I think the problem this type of movies faces now is that you can no longer make the special effects the main selling point. I am sure improved tools and know-how allow digital effects to get better and better, but it is way past the point of improvements no longer being noticeable by the...

It's not that this movie is bad, it's more that it is a paint-by-numbers adventure film with the flattest of dramatic arc. There are some amusing ideas here and there and, if you accept that these characters share barely more than names with those of the games, the cast is ok. The attempt at the...

There are some huge shifts in tone in that movie, to the point you wonder if anyone had any idea what they wanted to do. The comedy is also not funny at all, the action nothing special, the plot lame (is that scarf thing supposed to be a joke ?) and not engaging (are we supposed to root for the...

It's a joke that comes at the end of some resolved drama no one should care about.

Spoiler for today's Wordle

Unattached but functional body parts in a living room only reminds me of the music video for Herbie Hancock's Rockit ! I tried a little google-fu, but to no avail. More info are needed. Were the dismembered teens the main characters ? Why were they dismembered ? Anything more on the plot or...

Nope. I have not read Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, but I feel there is something akin to it at work in this film. Del Toro is not trying to film a carnival. The reference point is other films that filmed carnivals, it's mimicking the aesthetic of the representations of the thing...
