TV/Movies Megathread

[celedhring]

Finished the first season of American Gods. It somehow manages to be weirder and more pretentious than the book (and I liked the book, mind), which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

I see they have fired Bryan Fuller from season 2, this guy really has trouble making his jobs stick. I don't always love what he does but he always tries to do something different, which I appreciate.

Alone in the Dark. An Uwe Boll classic. Loved the computer game. DNF.

[garbon]

Infinity War. I liked it.

Me too.

I saw it and liked it. A bit long, but then it has to be with such a large cast.

[Eddie Teach]

Just wait til they get the X-Men back. 

[Josquius]

Just wait til they get the X-Men back. 

A shark jump too far I fear.
They work in their own separate world. The way the comics have everything in the same universe just doesn't make sense.

[Duque de Bragança]

Alone in the Dark. An Uwe Boll classic. Loved the computer game. DNF.

House of the Dead by the same "director" was much more entertaining IMHO. Crazier and the so bad it's good really worked.

[The Brain]

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Young woman whose father was abducted has to stop Bison's evil plan to [spoiler]gentrify[/spoiler] parts of [spoiler]Bangkok[/spoiler]. Pretty good as computer game movies go, it has nothing to be ashamed of. Notes: there is a hint of bondage sex. There is a lesbian fight scene.

[Eddie Teach]

What is DNF?

[The Brain]

What is DNF?

Did Not Finish.

[The Brain]

Blade of the Immortal. Samurai kills a crowd of enemies and lies dying when a witch decides to keep him on a Diet of Worms. He becomes immortal, and eventually ends up guarding a girl bent on revenge. Slow af (could have been an hour shorter), and it's fucking dark all the time like in Annihilation so you can't see people's faces (is this a trend in modern movies?). Took some effort to finish.

The season of Into the Badlands started a couple weeks ago. I was iffy on it at first in season one but I really liked it as it went on. Enjoying this season too.

Apparently, Bill & Ted 3 is officially happening.

I'm fairly anti-reboot and anti-pick up stories from 30 years ago at this point, but they've got an interesting premise.

Currently in preproduction, Bill & Ted Face the Music will see the duo long past their days as time-traveling teenagers and now weighed down by middle age and the responsibilities of family. They've written thousands of tunes, but they have yet to write a good one, much less the greatest song ever written. With the fabric of time and space tearing around them, a visitor from the future warns our heroes that only their song can save life as we know it. Out of luck and fresh out of inspiration, Bill and Ted set out on a time travel adventure to seek the song that will set their world right and bring harmony in the universe as we know it. Together with the aid of their daughters, a new crop of historical figures, and some sympathetic music legends, they find much, much more than just a song.

Keanu Reeves certainly doesn't need the money at this point, so hopefully he's doing it because it's a story worth telling.

Or because he has loads of fun doing the film.

in a shocking twist the song plays at the end of the film and it's never gonna give you up
