People go through shit and and grow, or don’t grow, as individuals and in their relationships to each other whilst trying to make it in an extremely cutthroat industry. That’s what happens. That kinda thing can be extremely compelling if the characters and situations are well-written, which IMO they are. This episode…

but people are kind of pretending it’s relatively close to normal.

You might be interested in the works of Moebius aka Jean Giraud, a French comic artist. You’ll see what I mean if you can look through or read The World Of Edena. It’s one of those things that’s only really known in its niche but is still crazy influential. Hell, Miyazaki was influenced by Moebius, especially with…

I’ll give you that; Fallout 3 doesn’t nearly have as many non-combat-related XP-gain options as Fallout 1 or 2.

Not even like a play, just like movies used to do! We still get them with certain movies where I live. But roughly around when you were born it was still common for “epics” like Dune to get built-in intermissions. David Lean fans, UNITE!

Right! And Square pushed for that weird monetization crap too. I almost forgot about that debacle. Embracer can share the fault with them then.

Seriously. Thanks to them Deus Ex went out with a bloody cliffhanger. Fingers cross the IP gets bought or something, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

The games listed above aren’t going to attract a wide or new audience. Long running franchises are good at retention. Niche titles don’t draw large numbers to a platform no matter how well they review.

The only Targaryan content I’m still interested in is stuff from before the Doom of Valeria(?).

Speaking of the future, how about some Arya adventures? Considering her send-off I’m super down for some “To boldly go where no Westerosi has gone before” shenanigans. I heard some vague mentions of it actually happening even before the pandemic. Maybe it’s one of the cancelled concepts?

I’m just talking, and nobody’s saying anything about “allowed” so I don’t understand why you’d feel the need to use that term.

I feel we are living in the age of only mini-series. 8 episodes every other year just does not give one enough tv to watch new content.

I heard a surprising amount of positive “Huh, it’s actually... pretty dope?” type reactions after it realised. Mild positive shock after a whole lotta skepticism. Kinda Preacher energy?

did we just witness the world’s most discomfiting physical-therapy session in the history of American television?

That kinda gets defanged in the scene where he mentions that. He mentions that it’s culturally iffy for him, but primarily his opposition to Asher talking to her about it is that he just got his daughter to stop going on and on about it and he doesn’t want it to start again. The joke is that Asher doesn’t hear that at…

He was moving with his eyes too much. It also could’ve turned him into a quadriplegic.

They’re ‘allowed’ to do whatever they want, that’s not the point. If anything the point is; what’s the point of making that change? I know what they can do, I love Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. Movies that delve more into what kind of person they were, their personality, or how the filmmaker see the person they’re…

Honestly, if you want more Niles just watch Julia. That show’s take on Julia’s husband is basically “Nice Niles” and it’s the cutest thing. They got matching pyjamas! 

Napoleon being an Egyptophile is important to his character. And his character is important to the movie. Otherwise it’s hardly a Napoleon biopic. And part of the movie is about his invasion of Egypt, one of the main reasons was to open it up to French ‘scientific’ research. Him being an Egyptophile was one of the…

He can also be very dismissive when it comes to historical accuracy. Just note that ‘so-called experts’ remark in this interview. That’s just blatantly disrespectful towards historians.
