The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
Raithe replied to Raithe's topic in Way Off-Topic
Hm, after wrapping up the first season of Fallout I'm not completely sure how to take it. It looks good, it's got good actors, not sure quite how I feel over some of the changes / adaptions they've made with the lore. I'm probably going to end up watching season 2 just to see what Walter Goggins does with the Ghoul. -

What You've Done Today - We do not remember days, we remember moments

Still struggling along with my sister getting my fathers things sorted after his passing. Not sure if the bereavement has kicked off the disrupted sleep issues the past month or so or something else, but has meant pushing through in a fairly constant state of tired bleh. Pondering on if that's a symptom of depression or if it's just the tired bleh talking. Need to figure out if there's a decent financial advisor to talk to about mortgages in the area, so I can start making decisions on whether I can buy out my sister's half of the house or I need to join her in selling it so I can get a new place. I do not want to move my library.... -

Binge watched my way through half of Shogun over the weekend. Interesting some of the changes they've made, and the actors are putting a lot of heart and soul into it all. I'm enjoying it for what it is, and trying to not let my book reading spoil it. -
He wants to create his own version of Star Wars. So the whole universe of potential main story films and spin-off films and related media. But given the current reaction to Rebel Moon, who knows how far he'll actually get. Edit: Plus, his thing of getting Netflix to allow him to shoot one version for the "theatrical release" on streaming, plus his specific "Director's Cut" version at the same time. So everything that does come out will potentially have two versions....

Rebel Moon part 2. Glorious visuals. Even dodgier plot, character development jumps, and tactical nonsense. I want to like what these very good actors are doing, but what they seem to be stuck working with is such a pile of drek... I honestly wonder how the director's cut is going to actually provide some semblance of meaning to the whole thing, and does sheer curiosity of this train wreck inspire me to lose 5 odd hours of my life watching the combined version when it's released later?
