She'll be a sexy top hat.

I'm thinking the shoe.

First half hour of the new Fallout series. Damn good so far, ultra violent in a good way.

Her eyes weird me out. Uncanny valley territory... but without CGI

And her elbows.

First half hour of the new Fallout series. Damn good so far, ultra violent in a good way.

Watched the first episode just now, enjoyed it a lot more than I thought it would.

Definitely not having the feeling that they're toning down the, uhm, tone.

Also had a moment where I was first, "Why did this [recognizable structure] survive the (post-)apocalypse?" ... "Oh yeah, it's Fallout, duh!"

[Barrister]

Hey - Fallout acceptable for kids?  In my case, pre-teens (and not little kids)?

[Syt]

Three episodes in and yeah - it's fun. Yes, it's very pulpy. Yes, it's quite over the top. Yes, it's gory. But it's a decent ride so far. And it's main character triangle has shades of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (probably not coincidentally).

Random thought - Walton Goggins plays the ghoul bounty hunter. He also appeared in the Community episode Cooperative Polygraphy where he plays the notary executing Pierce's will. During the pandemic, the cast did a read of the episode via zoom. Goggins wasn't available, so Pedro Pascal took over ... who also plays a gun slinging bounty hunter on Mandalorian.

No. Well, not your kids. And by that I mean it has a level of violence you wouldn't accept

[Syt]

It is quite graphic, yes.

It's like you don't know me at all man. 

I think I'm okay with cartoonish, if gory, violence.  At least for 10-13 year olds.  It's more about the themes and tone then the blood.

it's gory, but more on the realistic rather then cartoony side. Watch episode 1 and 2 without the kids (especially 2), and see. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

You guys freak me out. Internet standards and all that...

She reminds me of the Alita movie which also weirded me out

OK.

I mean I don't care about my kids seeing blood and gore.  I was just watching RoboCop on Amazon last night while I cleaned up the kitchen - it can be a pretty gorey movie, and it came out when I was 12 (and that's probably when I saw it for the first time).

But my youngest, age 10, can be a sensitive kind-of kid at times, so I don't 100% know what he'd think of a R-rated gorey movie/show.  We haven't gone down that path before.


By the way - I freaking love RoboCop.  It's like the perfect action movie.
