Movie/TV thread once again!

[BeBMan]

So, who can't wait for the new Barbie movie's release???

[Donegeal]

Finally getting around to The Sandman. It got all kinds of good press and reviews. I'm also a fan of Niel Gaiman, but I'm finding it rather... bleh. I not done with it yet, but I did very much enjoy the last episode I watched about the guy Dream and Death decided to let live as long as he wanted to. Maybe if the rest of the episodes are good (there's only like three more) it'll bump up to bleh+.

Does barbie just have a hump like the toy?

[BeBMan]

I have no idea

In other movie news I read there will be a Gladiator 2 directed again by Ridley Scott, and starring - among others - Denzel Washington (srsly). Let's hope it has more luck than the recent "Alien" sequels/prequels/whateverquels.

How the hell do you do a gladiator sequel? Is Russell Crowe going to fight in the Coliseum again? I think he can barely get out of bed at this point.

[Proteus_MST]

Perhaps this time he is some kind of Ben Kenobi figure for a much younger Padawan that is going to fight in the arene

[BeBMan]

Crowe is out of course, because he died in the 1st movie. I read few surviving the 1st are making an appearance, for example the emperor's sister, and the story will have to do with her son, who was a boy in the 1st.

I liked it. I think it fits very well with the style of the comics.

I'm currently watching the office (us), which I hadn't before since I don't watch much TV in general.

Oppenheimer movie looks interesting

[BeBMan]

That looks like Oppenheimer meets Barbie

edit: Maybe it's OppenBarbie

[Broken_Erika]

Ever since they were announced as coming out on the same day, the memes have been steady. Barbieheimer 2023

[Broken_Erika]

They literally have "I survived Barbieheimer 2023" T-shirts for sale

[BeBMan]

Serb would love to get one. He likes anything having to do with nukes.

i watched indiana jones

which was funny
beside me sat a german and french (I think the german was the father and the french the daugther - don't know how or why)

so the frenchie girl started pushing my seat with her shoe,
I turn around, I must have been very intimidating because she whispered a terrified "pardon...."

I replied smiling ca fait rien! and her dad was like impressed with my french (well of course)

anyway the movie had the whole cinema laughing its arse off at the end when indy was talking in greek with "Archiomedes" the best laughter is the unintentional laughter

I also kind of felt bad for the german father because the movie was like total bullying of the germans (not just the nazis)

question about Interstellar, on the planet near the black hole, they landed in shallow water while a monstrous wave circled the planet because of the black hole's gravity. I'm surprised planets are not tidally locked but how did they have a shallow sea to land in, wouldn't all the water form the wave? Still a good movie

[BeBMan]

Started to watch "The Last of Us".

I like it, but after reading lotsa praise of it before I expected something which would blow me away totally. Which it doesn't. Well the zombies are funghi-driven now.

Overall it's a fine show IMO, but for comparison the similar post-apocalypse/zombie Walking Dead impressed me more when I saw it first.

Yeah it went downhill after couple seasons -- maybe that left irreparable damage for zombie stuff in my conscience

What's certainly great in TLOU is the Pedro Pascal/Bella Ramsey​ (basically the Mandalorian meets Lyanna Mormont​) lead duo

never cared for zombies in horror movies, slow stumbling and brainless might win an election but it doesn't strike fear in my heart
