It sure is! Remade by FX. Funny detail, one of the leads, Hiroyuki Sanada, was actually also core to the WW Shogunworld episodes.

I was actually heavily looking forward to that, especially at the time S03 was announced there was barely any good dystopian sci-fi TV out there. Hell, barely any good sci-fi TV period. The Western setting didn’t have much to offer any more after two seasons, I feel. And S03 started interesting and all that but…

And then a weird cover of All Along The Watchtower starts playing, oh no...

This needs a little nuance. I’m doing the umpteenth rewatch, the first for my girlfriend, and we’re just finishing the Hamsterdam storyline. What’s vital is how the show is very clear on how despite the absurdity of the solution, created by perverse incentives, there’s very clear upsides that are worth exploring. An…

I mean, the white/non-Japanese dude lead is (for once)... kind of the point? The original Tokyo Vice is the memoirs of the first non-Japanese journalist on the staff of the Yomiuri Shinbun. The book is fucking great by the way, I can’t speak for this adaptation. Ansel Elgort sure isn’t a selling point to me, even…

With not raising eyebrows I mostly mean from onlookers and the like. Here everyone’s gasping and making a fuss over a dude giving a slap to another dude for making fun of his wife to a degree that I find quite surprising. I don’t think that would happen if it would concern ‘regular’ people.

But he didn’t press charges.

Yeah I will admit watching the discussion and outrage and whatnot regarding this event is kind of buckwild to me. Man gets a slap for being a huge dick to someone’s wife which I’m willing to bet wouldn’t raise any eyebrows outside of this context (though a rando at a smaller social function would probably be escorted…

It holds up but desperately needs a sequel. Facebook as a company, and probably the whole corporate structure and whatnot, is nothing like what we see in The Social Network any more.

That... doesn’t sound healthy? Does that not sound healthy to someone else? I don’t even mean physically perse, I admit I don’t know that much about that maybe she was fine, but from a labour-relation POV alone? 

Man, this movie is so, so weird. I said it somewhere else, but this flick swings violently between being almost Neil Breen levels of inept and immensely creatively inspired. It’s a ride, that’s for sure. They really have to keep making movies because there’s a lot to like there.

No, that’s not how atheism as such works. It’s the absence of theism; a lack of belief in gods. There’s more... adamant “atheists”, especially online, who have the belief that gods don’t exist, but that’s not the same as a lack of belief. That’s more like anti-theism or something, and yes you can’t prove a negative.…

Yeah man the saga with Mama was harrowing. Season 2 did continue that beautifully. Cutest shit I’ve seen, involving people at least, in years.

I’ve vaguely heard that there’s some decent updates, but I haven’t really heard anything about a big comeback. Has it really become so good now? Good in what regard? How did they do that, can you give a summary? I wouldn’t mind some good Fallout after the TTRPG adaptation kind of scared me off.

As long as a return to the tone of 2 includes a return of 105.0 Ezzzy FM; the superior open-world-game radio station.

I’m kinda sad I couldn’t enjoy H:ZD as much as other people did. Ghost of Tsushima and Breath of the Wild, games I played before H:ZD, kind of spoiled me with certain quality-of-life changes that H:ZD lacked. Things like being able to just climb stuff as you wish and not slowing down when gathering resources while on…

Except that urban architecture in the alternate future of the Fallout-universe is quite different from what we have around today. It’s
Norman Rockwell turned to 11, Americana on steroids. The DC Wasteland has a whole lot more futuristic Art Deco going on than what I’ve seen from it. If they’d ditch that style, that…

14? I looked it up and yup apparently 14. Coulda fooled me, judged Ed’s actor to be quite a bit older than that. I figured like 20 or something. I guess she’s just a victim of the adaptation proces then. Ed already walked the line between working and not working as a character in the anime.

“Also ffs Ed at the end literally is wearing a 1:1 anime costume and acting/sounding exactly like Ed in the anime, and somehow that was unforgivable cringe. Wtf? Ed in the anime is also cringe!”

Oh yes, but exhausted in a good way. ‘Cuz holy shit his films are roller coasters alright.
