4/n Kiss me first. Another show I would usually avoid for the title, maybe it's also good?

silverspawn · « **Reply #1651 on:** November 06, 2021, 05:15:42 pm »

No not particularly. The VR world is very beautiful to look at but it's not respecting the viewer. And I recognize those generic writing patterns.

5/n Invisible City

silverspawn · « **Reply #1652 on:** November 06, 2021, 05:22:16 pm »

yawn

6/n Master of None

silverspawn · « **Reply #1653 on:** November 06, 2021, 05:30:51 pm »

oh look the show starts by people having a reasonably adult conversation about sex how interesting. Unfortunately that was also t he entirety of the show 3 minutes later. I'm kind of curious what the idea was here. Who is supposed to be impressed by this?

Better acting than some of the expensive sci fi shows though

7/n Ares

silverspawn · « **Reply #1654 on:** November 06, 2021, 05:32:48 pm »

I can't stand the opening song

8/n Betaal

silverspawn · « **Reply #1655 on:** November 06, 2021, 05:46:30 pm »

That was almost cringe worthy.

It's kind of interesting. There are movies that make me feel like it's not that difficult to make me like something. Clouds of Sils Maria and the 1 million budget indie horror movie Awaclus recommended a few years ago (can't recall the name) come to mind. In both cases, I knew like within the first scene that I was watching something good even though they weren't doing anything special. Most of these shows try really hard and don't manage. I don't entirely understand the mechanics.

9/n In the Shadow of the Moon

silverspawn · « **Reply #1656 on:** November 06, 2021, 05:53:20 pm »

Ok maybe this one? Certainly the only one so far that tried to be scary int he opening and actually was scary

silverspawn · « **Reply #1657 on:** November 06, 2021, 06:04:41 pm »

Or not, good atmosphere but generic people with generic dialogue

10/n Kate

silverspawn · « **Reply #1658 on:** November 06, 2021, 06:29:51 pm »

well I'll probably finish this but it's not amazing. Guess you can't find an 8/10 every day.

Well if you wanted me to like a dumb action movie, having a cool female lead and showing lots of japanese culture is certainly the way to do it

silverspawn · « **Reply #1660 on:** November 07, 2021, 08:10:51 am »

Indeed, to my mild embarrassment I ended up thoroughly enjoying this ridiculously stupid and generic and emotionally manipulative movie

silverspawn · « **Reply #1661 on:** November 07, 2021, 01:58:11 pm »

Round #3. Gonna try some of those "top picks for silver" things. Going by previous discussion, presumably these are shows which [people with similar profiles to me] have liked.

1/n Night Teeth

silverspawn · « **Reply #1662 on:** November 07, 2021, 02:07:16 pm »

Oh it's about vampires living in the real world in secret. Very relevant to my interests.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem good at all so that's that

2/n Daredevil

silverspawn · « **Reply #1663 on:** November 07, 2021, 02:13:16 pm »

I rate this show dumb/10

The most interesting thing that happened was that it got me thinking about how it would be like to have a show from the perspective of pastor who regularly listens to other people's sins. If that were done well, I would watch it. At least that sounds like an interesting premise.

3/n Russian Doll

silverspawn · « **Reply #1664 on:** November 07, 2021, 02:29:48 pm »

Oh damn it's the cool drug chick from OITNB. (I think.) I loved that character. Even though she didn't interact much with Piper and even though they weren't alike, there was this mutual respect because they were both decent people with integrity and self awareness.

And within 2 minutes of this show, she managed to feel like a real person. Good actress.

Weird one. I don't really like it so far, even though it's clearly way better made than the previous ones.

I'm going to not count this one because I might watch it later.

3/n Mank

silverspawn · « **Reply #1665 on:** November 07, 2021, 02:44:25 pm »

Hm it's much harder to discern old movies because they're so slow. Says something about how the attention landscape has changed..

Also not going to count this one.

3/n Feel Good

silverspawn · « **Reply #1666 on:** November 07, 2021, 02:49:09 pm »

4/n The Witcher

silverspawn · « **Reply #1667 on:** November 07, 2021, 02:57:31 pm »

Is this an RPG that accidentally transformed into a tv show? Only ever seen something with this computer game vibe in anime.

silverspawn · « **Reply #1668 on:** November 07, 2021, 03:00:03 pm »

Good graphics and interesting story line but I'm having trouble with the controls

silverspawn · « **Reply #1669 on:** November 07, 2021, 03:12:18 pm »

That was certainly an unexpected watching experience but if anything I would just replay Gothic instead

5/n Annihilation. It said this is from the makers of Ex Machina so it's probably good.

silverspawn · « **Reply #1670 on:** November 07, 2021, 03:25:20 pm »

yeah I'll definitely finish this one

Yes, pretty much.

I mean, the Witcher is originally a book series that was first adapted into a series of RPGs and then was picked up as a TV series. I find it funny that you can see this background if you don't know about it.

silverspawn · « **Reply #1672 on:** November 07, 2021, 05:13:09 pm »

Well that was horrifying. Probably the scariest thing I've ever seen except for Paranormal Activity I.

silverspawn · « **Reply #1673 on:** November 07, 2021, 05:54:12 pm »

One game of chess to calm my mind after that

Well the series starts with the Witcher farming a monster in the swamp and then visiting the town to start a new quest. And after a short dialogue scene in the bar, the next subquest is talking to the Wizard.

Did you read the books?
