Silent Member 1251 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) I liked it as well, but then again I liked that Viking film of his, Drive, Citizen X and Neon Demon so I guess I must like his style. A bit too hollow this show maybe, I am not eager to watch another 12 hours of it even if I did enjoy zoning out to that first episode. Edited June 30, 2019 by Gocab Link to post Share on other sites
Enthusiast 606 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The main thing with Nicolas Winding Refn is you must never expose yourself to his interviews. But I like his stuff for the most part. Pusher, Bronson, Valhalla Rising and Drive is all good shit. I have not watched the new thing yet, maybe tonight I'll check it out. Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta admit though, it was a bit of a hassle trying to remember who is who, but it made sense after a while. I really like that it's filmed in German as well– that's my native language and the only time I see German dubs is with friends who don't understand English too well. Looking forward to Stranger Things next week as well ? Yes, I slso appreciated watching something in my mother tongue. Most German series are shite. Another good one in German language is "der Pass" Link to post Share on other sites

The "lore" and pretentiousness were just too unbearable I think Seth Rogen being the producer has a lot to do with its in your face / intentionally disturbing tone they seem to think sets them apart from other comic book IPs. I called it quits after the episode w/ the Houston Snuff Film Festival. Link to post Share on other sites

It's a very faithful adaptation, I just don't think the humor has aged all that well. It's watchable, bad accents aside. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

IT does occasionally feel like I'm watching a low budget show, but that's part of the charm. IT's a pretty straightforward show. Though I haven't seen the first season in a while. The most boring part of the whole show is the first few episodes now that I think about it. Link to post Share on other sites
Test Fforet 28 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Just watched Black Mirror S3E2 "Playtest" and this episode was fucking intense This series is great and sometimes it really scares me. Now I have to watch some dumb comedy shit to calm down. Edited July 3, 2019 by Test Fforet Link to post Share on other sites

Silent Member 1251 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) I watched Castle Rock, that Stephen King show. It wasn't very interesting, enough story for a movie perhaps, but drawn out to 10 episodes it's just a chore. Having just watched the season finale, skip this show, there is nothing of value here.

Rubin Farr 2487 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The plot holes in Stranger Things 3 are ludicrous: Spoiler Russians build an entire military base hundreds of feet below the new mall in 9 months? They broadcast top secret codes over HAM radio?? The detective work among the 3 parties was laughable Why was the Terminator guy at the old Lab to attack Hopper anyway? Why did they make David Harbour gain all that weight after he just buffed up for Hellboy? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Just started Stranger Things s3 too. I had to pause a few minutes in because it was soooo lame. The jokes / puns belong in a high school theatrical play, what a fucking cringe fest. I'm not sure whether that was intentional and post-ironic or just lazy writing. Some people said it gets better in the second half and the ending is heartbreaking, so I'll have to watch. Link to post Share on other sites
Candiru 1016 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The same kid actor from Stranger Things who's in "IT" is a million times cooler in that movie. Kids in the 80's would NOT be so wholesome. Even in the 90's we were complete assholes. Link to post Share on other sites
Candiru 1016 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I just watched the Ali Boulala episode of Epicly Later'd and it hit me right in the feels in a way I did not anticipate. I'm doing some skateboarding nostalgia lately because I found this youtube channel called Rad Rat Video where this nerdy nude does these historical deep dives into various skate personalities and topics and I enjoy it.
