I've never seen Elephant, but just two days ago i watched Tower https://www.youtube.com/wat… about Texas University shooting and it was fantastic. It focused on victims and heroes without mentioning or showing the shooter and was more about human emptathy and sacrifice. Made me cry like 3 times.

It isn't, but while watching i couldn't shake the feeling that it should've been. I guess they wanted it to be like a cautionary tale of sorts for modern teens to relate to, but at the same type show felt very old-school and a lot of character actions felt more like they belong in the 80-90s. For example, a big part…

The problem is that it's such a heinous and fucked up thing seeing it happen to fictional characters will always feel exploitative.

Yeah, i enjoyed s1, but if there's an actual school shooting scene i'm out.

That might actually be the case considering the way it ended. The other theory i heard a lot of people discuss today is that there's going to be a school shooting, which is…yikes.

Knew it was coming considering s1 ending and popularity of the show and i would've been fine with it IF the girl who played Hannah didn't return. It's obvious they didn't want the best actor on the show to leave, but her story is done and she's just going to harm the plot now.

It was Rick and Morty-type cartoonish though, not Disney cartoony.

GotG 2 had the exact same plotting/story problems as Suicide Squad - it felt more like a collection of scenes than a film and these characters are just a rag-tag group of misfits and sociopaths, their storylines should center around something low-key, they should foil a jewel heist or something, not stop the…

I've seen people bring up his Asian friend's acting, but i don't remember it being that bad. His black female friend though? Holy fuck she was awful, i had to skip her scenes because if i didn't i had to re-watch them multiple times because i had no idea what the hell she was even talking about.

S1 also had the worst ADR moment i've ever heard in my life. It's in episode 5 around 4 minutes in if anyone's wondering( i checked my comment in s1 thread, i don't just know that by the way) and basically Aziz and his female friend are going through a party and he says something like "THANK YOU" and sound level is…

It's super weird, but finale minutes of the episode actually reminded me of Amelie, part of it was suprisingly cheerful music and cinematography(both use very striking greens and reds), but it was mosly because Amelie was all about the importance of little things in life.

This looks like those failed franchises they tried to start hoping to recreate HP sucess - Percy Jackson, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, etc. except for some reason this one has a Dark Tower name slapped on it.

I actually wanted to bring up Quarry as well, because i kept confusing them with each other. Isn't that one actually cancelled though? Or at least it's in a weird bubble where it ins't confirmed, but no renewal in like half a year means it's probably dead.

It reminded me a lot of Justified and had a great cast - outside of 2 leads there's Christina Hendricks and Jimmi Simpson in season one for example, but at the same time it was missing Justfied's charm and was kinda bland. First season is only 6 episodes though, so maybe it got better.

Huh, i had no idea it even got a second, i didn't even finish season one because i was absolutely sure it'll get cancelled, never heard it discussed online and once i saw Michael Kenneth Williams in other shows like The Night Of i just assumed this one is done.

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people(including me) have moved on from CBB, i remember couple of years ago every episode was discussed on these forums and better ones would get quoted dozens of times, now it's barely even mentioned anymore.

I'm starting to get burned out on The Dollop as well, i think i've listened to one episode in full last couple of months, usually i get like 15 min in and get bored. It's basically 95% about politics nows, which i don't care for - just wanna hear about weirdos or idiots, not sociopaths and racists, but i guess there's…

>Why would anyone want a person you have to teach literally everything about society too?

I don't think you remember how fucking awful other sequels are, i re-watched them before JW and it was deffinetly better, you can compare it to prequels and modern SW movies in a way i guess.

I'm not saying that every single blockbuster should be a great, deep movie, it's just weird that people are settling for "good enough", especially when it comes to such a beloved franchise. I never cared for SW myself, but people love them, wouldn't they want something as good as original trilogy?
