Topic: The Unoffical TV Show Mega Thread

@jump btw the only reason I acted that way yesterday is I don't get scared (or even jump scared) easily.
and when I do get jump scared I really don't like it

i'm not fatphobic

edit i made this without seeing your new post

@korosanbo rubbish, Brie Larson isn’t scary as she is beloved. Why else does she hold the record of having the most comments in a NintendoLife article ever?

@Kermit1 yeah the fat thing was a joke.

You many want to reconsider your position that you aren’t scared easily. It’s fairly tame picture compared to something like a cenobite or Brundlefly.

Legion isn’t just evil looking dudes, there’s singing and dancing too!

@jump I love Brie Larson... wait is that Jeremy Clements... Best show ever!

@Link-Hero Yes the eyes that's what "jump scared" me... and the fact I did not see that coming...

on a lighter topic Rob Zombies The Munsters movie got a 50s teaser and I really liked it

@korosanbo nah, not like that.

When she became a Nintendo ambassador NintnedoLife did a few news article on her like Brie Larson is in a Nintendo commercial or Brie Larson does a podcast about Animal Crossing however the comment sections somehow became a very angry place filled with literally hundreds of comments complaining about her to the point that warnings were written about it or the comments were just shut off completely.

I found it funny that something so trivial and stupid would cause such bedlam that I changed my avatar to her.

@Rambler the being sick to eat was never actually shown in the movie as it cuts away when he does it. You know it’s messed up when the body horror master Cronenberg does something off screen because it’s too gross!

I know what's inside the human body I've read/seen stuff books in detail, but whenever gore is shown I get sick. But when I watch videos on YT that happen to show video gamey blood and "gore" I don't get sick.

The human insides are really beautiful and cool... I just don't want to see people get killed in crazy detail

edit "sick" meaning I start to sweat and my stomach "twists"

edit I've never really watched any R-rated or TV-MA films/shows, The Batman probably being the only one.

I just remembered I watched The Beatles: Get Back doc series that was TV-14 on Disney+ before the ratings update. I can see why... I saw some monkeys "bonk"

Finished up IRIA: Zeiram the Animation earlier today. Sci-fi anime OVA miniseries that follows Iria, a bounty hunter of sorts whom, after being sent on a mission to rescue the crew & cargo of a ship that has sent out a distress signal, gets caught up in an entanglement involving a deadly & nearly indestructible alien presence & a company conspiracy to hide it.

Clearly it's base elements are inspired by Alien, but it does a lot to set itself apart, whether it be the aesthetic that mixes in a lot of traditional Japanese or otherwise Asian design with the deep space sci-fi stuff (kinda like Tenchi Muyo, Outlaw Star, & Photon, it's a vibe I've noticed a lot of 90's sci-fi anime fall under), the "alien's" largely unique appearance/skill set, & ultimately a more personal connection between Iria & her foe.

It can be watched free on Retro Crush & Tubi (at least in the US), so check it out if it sounds like it floats your boat.

@Kermit1 I'm envious, if the only adult rated thing you've ever watched is The Batman then you've got so many amazeballs things you can watch for the first time.

Like The Sopranos, Fight Club, Spaced, Silence Of The Lambs, Battlestar Galactica (the good one, not the campy one), Mad Max Fury Road, Unreal, The Matrix, The Wire, Pulp Fiction, Hannibal, The Evil Dead 2, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Good The Bad And The Ugly, House of Cards, Enter The Dragon, that Mary Elizabeth Winstead show BrainDead, Conan, Future Man, The Godfather, Black Mirror, Get Out, Luther, Sin City, Westworld, Green Room, Sons of Anarchy, Dread, Preacher, Audition, Deadwood, Battle Royale, Mr Robot, The Candyman, Sex Education, Raw, Fleabag, Parasite, Rick & Morty, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Archer, It Follows, Atlanta, Occulus, Midnight Mass, Predator, Pistols, Oldboy, I May Destroy You, Promising Young Women, Danger 5, The Terminator, Fargo, The Man With The Iron Fists, Misfits, IP Man, The Queen's Gambit, Bubba Ho-Tep, South Park, Survive Style 5+, Orphan Black, American Psycho, The Thick Of It, Trainspotting, Good Omens, A Time To Kill, The Young Ones, Kingsman, Metalocalypse, Pan's Labyrinth...

@jump add The Beatles: Get Back doc series with The Batman, as the only two R-rated things I've seen

I just remembered The Matrix and Enter The Dragon, are on my wish list of films to see

@Rambler That's fine, it's basically just Desperate Housewives but without jazz and the politically incorrect backwards midget! ;p

@Rambler nor do I want to... Not really a David Lynch fan but he did make The Straight Story, that film looks fun

@Kermit1
Isn’t the Batman rated pg-13?

@blindsquarel depends on where you live apparently

Guess that’s true. It definitely gets as close as It can to the rated R line without crossing that line.

Well The Batman is very edgy, he listens to the same Nirvana song over and over again!

@jump this Batman seems like he only listens to early 00s/90s edgy music and nothing else

I know it's not anime or Star Wars/Marvel but has anyone been watching Pistol?

I've finished it a few days ago and it's pretty good. The soundtrack slaps (but it was always going to be good otherwise the show just wouldn't work) and Danny Boyle (who made Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, 127 Hours etc) has done a really good job tapping into that feeling of music and culture are intertwined even if it is just a bunch of bellends being bellends which was kinda the point of them. It's also a backdoor biopic of Chrissie Hynde who I didn't realise was around in that time so now I really want a what if of her becoming a member of The Sex Pistols instead of Sid Vicious or Johnny Rotten to see how they would have played out. However it does feel like they are isolating The Sex Pistols as punk itself too much though as they literally have people like Siouxsie Sioux in scenes with no mention her and their other contemporaries like The Damned, Stiff Little Fingers or The Clash's music.

Finally got around to watching the fourth episode of Obi-Wan. I know people really didn't like this episode, but I honestly didn't think it was necessarily any worse than the first two episodes. At times it did feel a little fillery, the action scenes weren't great either but we did get some interesting narrative developments sprinkled in, so it wasn't a huge waste of time like I was kinda worried it would be.

@Pizzamorg
My only issue with the episode is that they copied the final mission in Jedi fallen order down to the finest detail.The only part they missed was the fight with Vader at the end. Also some of the action scenes were pretty bad in the sense the villains decided to turn off their brains whenever they got in a fight. For example, a stormtrooper takes like seven hits with a lightsaber before they fall, but some normal person lightly taps them a few times and they die. Or when obi wan holds the water back and every trooper just runs towards home instead of opening fire. Or when three people, with two that can fight, are running down a open corridor, with no cover, yet they still are able to beat hundreds of troopers in a gunfight. Then they have Reva interrogating a five year old when she hasn’t been or seen where obi wan is, yet we are supposed to believe she is hiding some sort of information?

Another problem I have with the series is it’s length. I mean we’re four episodes in and the story here is that Vader is mad at Kenobi? But that is more of a problem with Disney as a whole. Every show they do feels unfinished due to the six episode format. Especially when they make half the episodes thirty minutes long, which is a fine length in a twenty episode season, but when the amount of episodes is so limited you need at least an hour in each episode to get a good grasp on the series.
