Project Wolf Hunting

One batshit crazy movie. I am not saying it is high art but I guarantee you will not be bored

I have never seen a movie switch gears so hard

7/10

In for the setting but skeptical on the rest

Physical 100 - netflix

Squid Games meets American Gladiators. Episodes were a bit longer than necessary and anytime something cool happens they have to show a reply of it from 5 different angles which gets annoying. Overall I was entertained mostly from the variety of athletes that were going against each other, not often you will see world's strongest man type vs a dancer or a gymnast vs a MMA fighter.

7.5/10

People were wondering why Beverly killed that person.....what if it wasn't a person? It might not have even been an individual hologram. It could have been Moriarty controlling a hologram on a mobile emitter. It would explain why they speak in clicks despite the UI rarely not being able to catch a language. All theatrics. In fact, all of her villainous theatrics at the end of ep. 2 were pretty reminiscent of Moriarty who himself is literally a villainous literary creation.

 

I don't have an issue with Beverly killing someone in an extreme situation, she has killed before in TNG. I just didn't like the tone it set for the season to have her John Wick some rando baddie in the first two minutes.

Your hologram theory might be accurate, the villain seemed to have an almost computer like instant knowledge of who she was dealing with on the bridge of the Titan.

Jean-Luc Picard felt more like Picard in this episode than the entire first two seasons combined. Makes me sad how old Patrick Stewart sounds now, it is extreme in his voice.

I still don't like Raffi but her plot this year feels like the most correct use of the character we have seen so far.

Liked this episode more than the first.

Alice in Borderland season 2

first season was ok, this is a drawn out anime mess with an unsatisfying ending

3.5/10

House of the Dragon

This show did something difficult, they made an interesting show that I want to watch while having zero likable characters. Everyone is either a piece of shit or they want to have sex with their family members or both.

8/10

Gunther's Millions

If you only watch one docuseries this year about a dog with a $400,000,000 tax evading sex cult trust make it this one.

I wondered what I missed. Thank you. 
 

a lot of remember-berries in this episode too. I kind of hate myself I didn’t dislike the episode. 

Well appearantly the show runner has come out and said this season takes place in 2401 which is the same year as season 2 and makes no sense so who the fuck knows

Ukraine also appears to have pushed the Russians back a bit, south of Bakhmut. It is looking more and more like the Russian offensive is a dud.

open source info on that missile's range is all over the place from 155 miles for an export version to 870 miles for a ship launched version, even at the low range that is going to put a lot of bases in range especially in the south. If it is near the high range Ukraine can really reach out well into Russia or go after the Crimean bridge 

Important thing to note when watching season 3 is that there is a 10 year time jump between season 2 and 3 that isn't really made clear. So this is set about 32 after the events of Nemesis which is necessary for some of the ages of the new characters to make any sense at all.

Fans - "well the first 2 season were kind of shit, hopefully they will give us a nice bright optimistic look at the future to close the series out"

show - "we are going to have DOCTOR Beverly Crusher straight up execute some dude in the opening scene"

I know the reviews have been pretty positive on this season even from critics that disliked the first 2 but I am not getting the warm and fuzzies based on the first episode even with the mountain of fan service they threw out there.

I feel like I came in from an alternate reality because I swear I had never even heard of this game until today even though this thread is 18 months old

there is no possible reason for the movie to be that long unless the makers were getting paid by the run time

Definitely a case of all the good stuff is in the trailer, last act is not good at all.

5/10

M3GAN

More dark humor than I was expecting, very predictable at times but I had fun.

7.5/10

ask it about KATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Been seeing 4090s regularly available recently even at 1599

I'm not savvy enough to know if this is good or not.

Good if they can get it out of the lab and into factories but that is a big if and at least several years out in the best case scenario 

Andor

I loved it. I can't really pinpoint what it is, the show has a very unusually quality about that I have a hard time describing, just the ordinariness of how everything feels. No Skywalkers, no force, no saving the whole galaxy just a group of mostly ordinary folks put into something they really didn't sign up for and on the other side no Emperor or Vader just some middle management officers.

9/10

Black Adam

This is one clunky movie, just huge exposition dump at the beginning and then characters are just thrown in with almost zero introduction. Feels like half of the first hour ended up on the cutting room floor.

4/10

The price drop really just counteracts the price increases they have had over the last two years. 

These new prices are about the same as they were in early 2021

I honestly have no idea what nvidia and amd are doing this gen. It seems like the options are go sell a kidney and buy a 4090 or say fuck off and buy a PS5, the performance bump on 4080/4070 vs previous gen is not worth the cost. AMD is a bit better but still overpriced by at least 25%

dammit. I already wear glasses so I hate seeing movies in 3D 

this movie is go see it on the biggest 3d screen you can find or don't go see it. The spectacle of the experience is much more important than the plot/characters/usual movie components. It really is much an amusement park ride as it is a movie.

it is so good 

Finally bought the terminator fps that I've had on my wishlist for like 5 years

I think they may have tried playing the wrong format at our screening. The screen was very purple and not in 3d for a couple of minutes till they restarted it

Do you know if this was the 48fps version?

Not sure
