Plz learn who you are talking to

 

Also, you fuckin said "What is this supposed to mean?" "How is anyone wrong in stating that?" and I literally explained myself and you just hit me with the "ellipses ok" 

 

If you didn't want my answer, why you askin? 

Lol relax 

I think they main lesson needed to be learned was “don’t put Zach Snyder in charge of important things” which they seem to have learned. 

I wonder if the first season will be more from Moraine’s perspective. Could be a smart change from the books since the show would feature its biggest name more prominently and you can drag out the secret of who the Dragon Reborn is still closer to the end of the season. Since in the book it’s pretty obvious who it is by chapter 2/3.

Would be very surprised if this doesn’t get a part 2, and maybe even an HBO Max series of some sort in the future.

IMDB does list a Dune tv show under Villanueva’s upcoming projects. Of course anything on that site comes with a grain of salt because it’s user generated. But still. There’s a TON of lore to explore from those novels and if Foundation is doing well for Apple maybe HBO will want it’s own space show(I’m not starting up the Dune genre debate again haha). 
 

So a number 1 opening, WB’s best opening alongside HBO, Villanueva’s best opening, and I think I read it’s doing well overseas? Gotta be safe to assume Part 2 gets the go ahead at this point right?

is different than has

 

Cain't u reed? They made it sound like the 5th season was already out. It ain't. Thus disappointment. And if the 5th season ain't out to watch, it don't have 5 seasons. It will have 5 seasons. It only has 4.

………….ok

People on reddit saying this had 5 seasons and a movie acting like the 5th season is already out. Bitch, if the 5th season ain't out yet it don't have 5 seasons. 

 

Got excited to watch the new season. 

What is this supposed to mean? The 5th season was green lit and production is finished. So The Last Kingdom adaption will have 5 seasons and a movie. How is anyone wrong in stating that?

At this point I’ve come full circle on Bay. I’m psyched for this lol

Fuck that video is great. I could watch him do that from start to finish on the whole damn film. And he’s right, he 1000% nailed bringing that scene from the book to life. 

For everyone that hasn’t read the books. In regards to the ending. My wife didn’t read the book and was completely satisfied with the ending and didn’t think it ended abruptly or in a bad spot. It absolutely needs its part 2 but in terms in the technician craft of how and when to close out a movie, it ends well. Personally I was expecting an ending like the finale of the Sopranos where it was going to be really sudden and leave you with “wait wtf, that’s it???” And it doesn’t do that. 

So im tired and don’t wanna write three paragraphs tonight. But that was absolutely incredible.  An absolutely brilliant adaption. I couldn’t believe that while I was sitting there watching the movie, it was envoking that exact same vibes and tone and emotions that I get from reading the book. Not just that you get sad at the same part or angry at the same part. But he managed to recreate the actual tone of the book. At least in my experiences reading it. 
 

It looks incredible. I saw it in an RPX theater that has the subwoofers in the seats and HOLY SHIT was that worth the extra money. The score and music are fantastic. 
 

As for the ending. I’ll say it def ends in a place where if you didn’t know there was a part 2 you’d think “uhhh what the fuck?” But it also didn’t just end suddenly and out of nowhere. They place they stopped is almost exactly where I thought they would. And I do think there’s an aspect to Paul’s story that does finish a single movie arc. I’m honestly not sure how he could have ended it any better. 
 

I pray to god this does well and they let him finish it as it would be an absolute crime to finish this piece of art. Can’t wait to watch it again at home tomorrow. Annnnd I wrote 3 paragraphs anyway. 

Got tickets to see it in an RPX theater at 4pm today. I’m psyched out of my mind. I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for this movie lol. The fact that this adaption and a Wheel of Time adaption are arriving within a month of each other is pure overload for my teenage nerdom 😂

Chris Pratt would have been the perfect Sully

Tom Hanks would have been a perfect correct video game age Sully.

Just finsihed Seinfeld and Ted Lasso... need a new comedy. HBO Max doesn't put all their episodes up at once, do they?

Well now hold on a second. Given your recent views we need to narrow this down. Do you need an actual comedy? Or do you need a full blown drama? Because you 1000% didn’t just finish two actual comedies. 

And Outlander and Ash v Evil Dead

At the risk of pearl clutching, this thread title is in poor taste.

Agreed

That trailer and the fact that Tom Holland looks 17 aside for a moment, the set pieces in Uncharted are essentially really well produced action movies already. If they are gonna make an Uncharted movie, why not do something different? This looks so samey to me, except they added Mark Wahlberg who fucking sucks. 

Except he’s literally exactly a younger Sully. He’s perfect for this. I mean I guess if you coulda got Affleck to do it 🤷🏻‍♂️
 

And this is the similar weird logic like “the Last of Us shouldn’t be about Joel and Ellie” 

Lol it cracks me up. Resident Evil and Prince of Persia get criticized for not resembling the games at all. Then Last of Us and Uncharted get criticized for looking like the games. Lol we all really need to make up our minds with what we want from Video Game Movies. 

Looks just as fun as Red Notice to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ I love these Indiana Jones/National Treasure adventure movies. I could honestly care less how close it is to the game, the cast alone is fun

Came in expecting a certain expected response to that trailer from this board. I leave satisfied haha

New trailer. Just a heads up it seems to show a lot.

I vetted the writers' room under showrunners David S. Goyer (who I do not like) and Josh Friedman (who did Sarah Connor Chronicles) and I have to say the writers' room have written episodes for some good shows. I've really enjoyed Foundation so far, though it's bigger than a straight adaption of the first book. I'm a fan of the books, but the show has been mostly great in its own right, I've thought.

Agreed. I haven’t read the books but the show has been really fantastic so far. From what I understand Empire isn’t really featured as heavily in the main books? They show up more in the prequels? So if all the stuff with empire is different and has been added to the show, Bra-fucking-vo!!! Cause that shit is incredible. 

That’s a great article. The passion is certainly there. I dunno how many people here follow them on Twitter but they’ve released a bunch of small clips and it looks utterly fantastic so far. I think aiming to be a cultural phenomenon like GoT is an insane goal, I think at the very least this show is going to be very good. 

Ohhh I didn’t realize there was a 4K version. I’ll have to grab that

Well played sir. Well played. 

I wonder if this will have enough comedic arcs to truly considered a comedy variety show or if it’ll really just be a dramatic variety show with comedic elements.
