And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Well that's three recommendations so I'll watch Samurai Champloo. 4 1 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "I'm gonna hunt you down so that I can slap you square in the mouth." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "Am I phrasing in the most negative light for them?

InsaneCommander Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I didn't like this Cowboy Bebop teaser, but I'll judge the show when I watch it. Not on November 19 though, since I'll be watching The Wheel of Time and The Expanse on that day. 40 minutes ago, KP the meanie zucchini said: Well that's three recommendations so I'll watch Samurai Champloo.

Lexx Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Samurai Champloo has a pretty sick soundtrack.

LadyCrimson Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Samurai Champloo has the same director of Cowboy Bebop, for anyone unaware - it was the next anime series he did after Cowboy. You can see a similarity in chr. animation style and other aspects here and there. Likely why ppl told me to try Cowboy. Champloo fit my personal tastes 200% more, is all. 6 hours ago, Lexx said: Samurai Champloo has a pretty sick soundtrack. Also I really liked the historical vs. modern style mix of the show. I really like the soundtrack they used during some action scenes, one in particular. And yeah, the overall sound/music mixture was interesting. “Things are as they are.

BruceVC Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Death_(2021_TV_series) This is a series you cannot miss, its based on a true story about a neurosurgeon who butchers patients through his own arrogance and incompetence His crimes occurred mostly in Texas and the show also highlights the structural problems and bureaucracy within the US healthcare system. Here is another link that discusses the veracity of this gripping series https://time.com/6080714/dr-death-true-story/ "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Zoraptor Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 That news is a month old- apparently he's not in the last two episodes of S1 either though I'm not sure if that's confirmed or rumour. Guess at least there's a potential reasonable in universe explanation for Mat's appearance changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoraptor Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I think it was mentioned here, but not sure, and can't be bothered checking. I'm only really following the TV series by diffusion rather than deliberately so I kind of presume most of the stuff I hear comes from here. OTOH, pretty sure Mat not being in the last two episodes did come from elsewhere, so... (I am interested enough to at least do a re-read. I'd read up to book 6 multiple times, but can't remember reading the later ones more than once. Having read a few random chapters from those later books my recollection of the later series' timeline is not great, though I remember most of the actual events OK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkathi Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The new Dune movie goes through a checklist of things. Caladan - check Gomjabbar - check Arakeen - check Shadout Mapes - check etc It is all in grand photography, but the scenes lack content, lack soul. As if someone read the letters of the book but did not make out the words. To distract from this the audience is bombarded with Paul's visions again and again. As a result the Kwisatz Haderach plot drowns out everything else that is happening. Thus Paul's character growth and messianic role end up rushed, as he is robbed of the other experiences. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
