Mace Windu was never cooler than in Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars. It’s a shame that his potential was never realized in the films.

I will die on this hill: if Disney+ makes a third volume of Star Wars: Visions, they must include Genndy Tartakovsky.

The creativity on display Scavenger’s Reign is absolutely mind boggling. It is beautiful, brutal and impossible to predict. 

I’m seconding the Scavenger’s Reign rec. It essentially got dumped with minimal promotion and it really deserves better.

Damn, dude, that’s quite the sell. I’ll definitely check out Scavenger’s Reign, probably tonight, as my wife is away on a work trip. 

The main stumbling block for me getting into the CG Clone Wars cartoon was that it wasn’t this version.

Genndy Tartakovski is a damn gem. Really loving his resurgence right now with Primal and Unicorn: Warriors Eternal. 

This animated show really opened my eyes in terms of the talent Genndy Tartakovsky has in terms of story telling in the animated medium. Considering each of these episodes are pretty short they still manage an overall story arc independent of each other as well as combined .

Agreed. It’s even more fun when they decide they’re possessed by a demon and try to give them back. You know, just like Jesus would.

I started a(nother) rewatch recently as well, and yep, these remain excellent both as individual movies and as a trilogy.

Looks good! Glad to see this franchise is quietly chugging along.

I don’t know that the Reeves movies are a “retelling” of the original as much as a prequel. This one looks like it might be more along the lines of the very first movie.

Personally, I’m looking forward to the sequel, Rebels of the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

Yoooooo! I am so in. It looks really good.

This looks pretty cool for some damned dirty apes.

i still like how “all the people die” was basically relegated to the credit sequences of the first film and the final minutes of the third one.

The Departed is marky-markedly inferior to Infernal Affairs.

The only time it drags for me is the scenes with Farmiga. I don’t feel her involvement or storyline added anything much to the proceedings, and it frankly felt off that a police therapist with a live-in boyfriend would start sleeping with a patient she barely knows.

As someone that has worked a bunch of development projects, the tech bro cities get incredibly annoying. A rich person’s ideal city is generally an exercise in weird architecture. Society’s ideal city is focusing how to save water, generate electricity, grow produce, resilient structures, and efficient public transit.…

Tech bros: Planned cities are fan-fucking-tastic! Planned economies? Oh, fuck that shit!
