Television Jack Ryan is (finally) out today - Discussion Thread
Wild replied to Wild's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
This was OK. Competent genre terrorism, but WAY too many coincidences that weren't necessary to get the scenes they were after. The writers gotta get better at earning their moments. -
Isn't there a kid in this? Most of that trailer feels like it came from 3 or 4 scenes (the jungle where GI Bro gets his men killed, the attack on the bus, which may or may not be at a high school, and then the lab).

Snyder is the devil. Ok, he's not the devil, he's just a guy that should have stuck to making music videos instead of coming in and fucking up the DC Universe. Dude screwed up the Watchmen on a fundamental level, but since it looked like the comic book and the heads at WB don't actually understand their characters he got a gig he wasn't qualified for. And now here we are, watching DC not understand that they're lack of giving a shit about the properties they own is why they're in the quagmire they are in, showing no signs of getting out of it. (I mean, really, Thomas Wayne as a Trump-like figure? The fuck are they thinking?)

Television Did anyone watch Sharp Objects? How was it?
Wild replied to Wild's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
Yea, I think for me it's all shows now, but almost everything I watch is 10 or so episodes anymore anyway. There are very few 20+ episode network shows I catch anymore. Too much filler in shows like that. -

Night Of is probably the last non-Game of Thrones series I'll watch week to week. It finally broke me of the format for good, as I watched the characters become ever more ridiculous and do ever stupider things. But, unlike a binge watch where I feel like I might have wasted a couple lazy Sundays, that felt like I invested several weeks into something I ended up not liking much at all. Great production values, but the writing wasn't up to par. -
...Batman's mythos. ...Superman's joy. ...Lex Luthor's stature. ...Jimmy Olsen.

I've been waiting so I could binge watch it and see if the show sticks the landing. The Night Of burned me on production values over substance. Anyone here see Sharp Objects, and if so did you like it? -
Sucks about Affleck, though. I hope he is able to get his shit together. His career had been coming back pretty strong for minute there.

Always the other way for me, since the Animated series architecture feels so much more like Chicago.

General Entertainment Kevin Smith is pretty skinny now.
Wild replied to Jason's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
It'd be neat to see him in a custom tailored suit, and might be inspiring for others. -
Huh.

Edwards. I'm a big fan of the way he handles an impending threat in his films, and then pays them off with a sharp sequence. Monsters was a creative low-budget thrill, Godzilla had a genuine sense of foreboding, and Rogue One gave Vader the sort of mythos you would expect the Rebels to hold him up to. He knows that your imagination fills in scarier gaps with subtle clues versus showing everything. I think those skills applied to Bond as the "monster", plus the fact Edwards can clearly get fresh work done in a studio driven environment, would make him a good fit for 007. But Evans would be pretty sweet, as well. Would have some great fights.
