You’re in luck, it’s confirmed to be set in L.A. Where in the timeline is still unclear IIRC, so it’s not sure whether it’s gonna be L.A.-right-after-vaulter-emergence, The Boneyard proper or The New California Republic. My guess is on Boneyard with all its myriad little factions and stuff. 

IIRC it's confirmed it takes place in and around L.A., aka The Boneyard aka The New California Republic. I can't recall anything about where it is on the timeline though.

Mullets have been hip and funky with the Gen Z, and even Gen Alpha at this point, for a few years now. 80's Nostalgia moved into 90's nostalgia which is moving into 00's nostalgia. A whole “trailer park chique” aesthetic popped up; chunky (fake-)dirty sneakers or even slippers, baggy tracksuit stuff and mullets.…

Not gonna lie, to me it’s hard not to enjoy a film in which someone runs around screaming “TECH SUPPOOOOOORT!!!” We had a very good time, but probably not for the reasons the movie wanted us to. Or maybe it did, we’re not sure.

Not as much snug jeans as high-waisted jeans with straight, loose legs.

I’m gonna miss this show so much. John Wilson’s gentle curiosity was such a soothing balm, even when the subject matter turned dark or heavy. 

I mean, I can totally get that in some areas of the world the theatre experience is pretty bad. It’s not gonna be the same everywhere. Here in Belgium, at least in my city? The cinemas are varied and clean, and the cinema-going public is generally polite and displays good cinema-etiquette. Like, we had a packed house…

The Wheel of Time books definitely aren’t YA fantasy.

Hey now, y'all got Poldark that's like the biggest historical fiction show (in the UK) of recent times, this side of Downton Abbey at least.

Oh yes, no point to famously anti-war movie Come And See. And there’s no point at all at showing the horrors of institutionalisation in Titicut Follies. No point at all.

Most people working in Hollywood are anything but “elite”. Many writers, bit-players and other ‘working actors’ and other folks behind the screens are decidedly middle class and not rich in the slightest. There’s plenty of paycheck-to-paycheck going on there.

I did play Death Stranding and loved it, but it’s definitely from the previous gen, kinda proving my point. Though, Kojima will do his extremely cinematic thing no matter what. He’ll be an outsider no matter the trends.

Kinda but not really though? Videogames seem to be veering away from trying to become cinematic. That cinematic trend was more a thing in the previous generation. I remember the The Order: 1886 debacle. 

Dunkirk is very emotionally resonant. Actually my favourite Nolan movie in that respect (not in general though). It’s just that the emotional core is not tied to one individual, and that the emotions in question are fear and anxiety, which apparently doesn’t register for many people as “emotional” in relation to…

They didn’t just become action films, they became fantastic action films.

It’s very much hate-it-or-love-it, yeah. Me and my girlfriend it hit like a truck, it’s one of my favourite horror movies. But man, if you’re not the kinda person whose brain sees a silhouette in a pile of clothes in a dark room you ain’t gonna get anything out of it.

Overwritten or not, I will admit that reading that description of an Italian beef sandwich made me mad hungry. It doesn’t help that I’m reading this, well skimming to prevent spoilers, right before dinner.

“but I am just not in the mood to laugh about anything concerning the wide availability of guns in the United States. “

“it hurt to see it”

The fight scene set to Daft Punk is pretty dope too I suppose.
