Attack on Titan is amazing shit. very weird, cool shit. Makes me wanna read the manga.

When she is a bit older anything Satoshi Kon. Paprika, Millenium Actress, and paranoia agent.

Rob Instigator · 04.06.2017, 09:56 AM

yes. Paprika blew me away and I was an old fart!!!!!

it's actually pretty good. I think some of the writing is a bit off, Jonathan Pryce is wasted in it, way too thuggish and involved in the minutia of the BIEC. And the Ooona/Hardy thing is way overplayed. I wish there was more of the Native American PNW stuff in it, those particular Indians were way way weird, as their art and costumes are fucking strange. (Visit the totem pole museum in Vancouver, BC frinstance) Stephen Graham is pretty good in it, nice compass tatoo! And also Jason Watson (edit, WATKINS!), stellar performance from a guy who deserves some awards for his acting. So, loose and unbelievable story, good cinematography, so/so soundtrack. Better than a lot of shit that's on now, for sure

I saw a turtle with claustrophobia on TV yesterday. It was very very sad

!@#$%! · 04.08.2017, 02:49 PM

so HUMANS took a turn for the way better towards the end of season 1

went past the replicant repetitions and became something else

still a bit slow, but really pleased with it now

ilduclo · 04.08.2017, 05:06 PM

Yeah, Season 2 is pretty good, too. Not breaking a lot of new ground, Niska and Hester are good characters, I could do without Leo and Mia, and the entire Hawkins family....except maybe for the daughter.

!@#$%! · 04.08.2017, 05:23 PM

it's funny to see the chick from the IT crowd as a serious mom

also, leo is fucking MERLIN and i can't stop laughing about that *every fucking time*

the dragon was my favorite character in that. thanks, john hurt!

but anyway yeah looking forward to S2.

NEW SEASON OF DOCTOR WHO COMING UP APRIL 15.

Last season for Peter Capaldi's excellent (except for the sunglasses and guitar) take 12th Doctor. Also last season for showrunner Steven Moffat, who has come up with some excellent stories.

IN ADDITIIN: A new Doctor Who soon-off, titled CLASS, is also coming out that day. It looks to be on the darker side. Will focus on the students of Coal Hill Academy-- the school where Clara and Danny taught (and the Doctor briefly took up a position as groundskeeper).

Should be fucking rad.

I'm through season 4, episode 5 as of last night.

If I don't get through season 9, i'm probably better off. I'd be fine with just season 8

!@#$%! · 04.10.2017, 01:13 PM

man, i could never get the appeal of that show

the schtick wore out really fast for me

demonrail666 · 04.10.2017, 01:23 PM

100% agree.

Don't get the appeal at all.
