Haven't started the new season yet, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the first 2. Looking forward to it.
Finale of Alien: Earth was pretty damn good. Some minor twists I didn't exactly expect, and a couple nice character payoffs, including a surprisingly satisfying emotional reaction from the main villain of the series. Excellent from start to finish.
Finished Terminal List: Dark Wolf. Far better than the original. Basically a Call of Duty TV show. Keep the spin-off, ditch the original.
You heard a gunshot in the first one in the scene with Kitsch. You didn’t see what it hit, am I right? I always play by the trope of when they don’t die on screen, they don’t die.
Yeah, especially when the spinoff show is a hit. I put this show in the same category as Reacher. It's a fun show for grown-up's, particularly men. I want to see Special Ops guys do spy shit and autistic bodybuilders beat up goons or whatever that shows about.
That’s why I loved Banshee so much. It never once demanded that you think hard while watching it, it simply delivered the goods needed to entertain.
I’ve seen the trailers and I want to see it— trying to figure out his plots, or point to his comedy, is trying a needle in a stack of needles. Essentially, the closest he has to a “shtick” is to take a very, VERY relatable situation, have somebody turn it awkward, and then that same person simply refuses to take the easy way out until in finally crashes in a heap. There is no “point to be made”, no douchey “message”. It’s just comedy. I mean, this shit is put together like a processed algorithm, it’s BEAUTIFUL:
I've watched enough of his work that I've decided that either his comedy is more than my pea brain can understand or he's not funny
It defines “not for everyone’s taste”. Usually I don’t like awkward/“cringe comedy”— for instance that movie I Love You, Man— I absolutely fucking HATED that film, and that sort of tone in general. Simply being awkward is not funny. I think Robinson rises above that, and his simple gimmick is basically that scene in Austin Powers when the camera refuses to cut away after the villains start laughing.
