TV/Movies Megathread

Twig and Alfur? Yes, they're characters in the show.

I know it will not be of much interest to the audience here, but I though I'd give a shout-out to the animated series Hilda, on Netflix.

The Brain mode: T & A?

The lead character is portrayed as being ten years old, so no, thankfully.

A more ... adult oriented ... animated series is out, literally today.

The pilot can be seen on YouTube:

It's called Hazbin Hotel, and it is an interesting project in that it is being produced purely by crowdfunding and merch sales - no studio involvement.

My niece works as an animator for Netflix, not sure what she does (all those NDAs), but she likes it better than the years she put in at Dreamworks.

[The Brain]

Do they need any reanimators?

Turned on the TV to watch Monday Night Football.  Realized that the matchup was Dolphins-Steelers.  Remembered that it was crappy matchups like this that got MNF moved from ABC to ESPN.  Turned off the TV.

Two episodes in and HBO's Watchmen is better than it has any right to be.

I hope they don't screw it up.

It's certainly an odd show, but good odd.

Agreed, very good.

Watched 3 episodes of Succession. Why is everyone fawning over this?

Every single character is either a douche, super annoying or both.

I have tried watching this season of TWD.  The first episode spent a lot of time describing how the group had created a form of military discipline.  They had fighting formations which shields, auxiliaries and drills to create structure and discipline when fighting the dead.  Very impressive stuff and one would think the had put their time to good use.  Fast forward to the last episode when there is a concerted attack of the dead on one of their communities, someone yells out "remember your training" and what transpires is an undisciplined melee devoid of anything on display in the first episode.

It's like watching a car wreck on the highway. You don't know why you look, but you do.

Well they're not professionals, so maybe there's that. Low discipline in Paradox Game sense; But I see your point.

I think this season of TWD is bad primarily because it sucks. I think they're running out of story, and in previous seasons the characters held it together but this year I don't even know who's who anymore. I miss the tight band of 8 or 9 characters. Like, [spoiler] the final season of last season, I honestly didn't shed a tear for any of those dead people. Unlike, say, in previous seasons when key characters died.[/spoiler]
