Finished it.  Enjoyed the book more.  Generally, I let adaptations stand on their own, and don't really try to compare them, but this made a lot of changes that didn't make any sense to the characters.  It also got deep into CW territory with everyone have a new secret to cause drama every episode.  Still enjoyed it but the first 4 episodes are a lot stronger than the last 6.

Yeah, I still haven't read the book but I thought Lovecraft Country TV was pretty bad. It started strong and the Korea ep was good, but by the end it was such a mess. The general consensus I heard when it was airing was that the book was way better and they basically went their own way with the show.

I liked Creepshow S2E2 - mostly because of how dumb it was, but ya it wasn't a great episode.

The first story was good, but the second story was just like pointless. Pesticide guy has an acid trip and nothing makes much sense, but that's ok because the devil. The end.

Shameless US series finale

Some good moments but man feels like a lot of missed opportunities. I was 90% sure they'd do a full-circle thing with the burning car intro speech from the pilot and I wasn't wrong.

Weird not gonna have this to "rely" on, been in my life for years and has a lot of nostalgia for a certain period of my life. Even though the show was barely worth watching after Fiona left, I still counted on it "being there..."

I was a bit buzzed so William H. Macy's final speech got to me, not gonna lie. And above all else I suppose, I'm happy Ian and Mickey got (and kept) their happy ending. That means a lot to a gay guy with no expectation for one. :'(

I watched two episodes of Invincible out curiosity.
I'm not sure wtf is going on in this show.
On a 40 minutes episode (too long, btw) you have 35 min of what is essentially your run of the mill teenage drama cartoon, slightly aged up in some aspects.
And then they close it off with these Rick&Morty-style, comically gory fight scenes.  :lol

Tbh the normal part of the show is mostly uninteresting (also the characters are so generic, i don't understand if they're supposed to be parodies or not?) but the splatter fests are pretty fun to watch.
Maybe i should just look up a compilation of those.  :thinking

Me too.
I watched ep2 exactly for those last 2 minutes, but then ep2 followed the same formula (more or less) and left me confused as to what the point they're going for.
Is the teen stuff supposed to be ironic? Again, the use of violence is kind of comical (like i said, kind of like a Rick & Morty type show) but then the drama seems to be trying to be played straight?

Ok, dropped it in the middle of ep3, when they had the Justice League try out or whatever.
I just can't with this humor.  :stahp

I'm enjoying season 2 of Solar Opposites though, this show in better than Rick&Morty tbh, same base humor, but it doesn't have the shitty "depressed Rick" moments and the annoying euphoric™ smugness.

That's true, but still, putting all those eggs into one basket? I guess they paid so much for the rights, that they HAD to go all in.
Personally i would've preferred to have 3 medium sized new shows, than a single gigantic one, especially since it can still be ruined by shitty writing (as the Game of Thrones later seasons demonstrated).

But at least it's spent on a world that kind of demands a high budget (fantasy epic) and not something completely cretin as to de-age Robert Deniro and Al Pacino.

https://www.vulture.com/2021/04/shudder-horror-streaming-interview.html

Good interview with some of the people behind AMC's Shudder streamer (which I've personally recommended a few times.)

Quote
Are these movies that are already made, and you’re simply the distributor? Or are you getting involved earlier in the development process and putting your creative mark on projects?

Emily Gotto: We’re coming in at different phases, [including] festivals and marketplaces. And we’re now broadening our reach … coming in to fully finance films. That lets us really be part of the collaborative process of making content available to our subscribers [rather than] letting the market dictate to us what we can show. It’s us bringing stuff to the consumer.

Craig Engler: A great example of an original was Host last year. We had seen a short film by a director we knew on Twitter [Rob Savage]. We reached out and said, “Hey, is there a feature version of this?” And they came back and said, “Yes, there is.” They sent us a pitch deck. It was actually relatively short, six pages long. But we green-lit the movie based on two words: Zoom séance. We had the film up on the service in three months last year, during the pandemic. I think that that just shows we’re willing to move very quickly, very decisively. We don’t want to be beholden to what’s available to us.

This tracks with my gut feeling that the streaming wars are a huge net-benefit for smaller-to-mid-budget films and emerging creators. A lot of gatekeepers got deposed when linear TV started declining.

Also gives me more confidence in my current direction. :)

Falcon finale was solid. I think overall the show had some good action and character moments but whoever thought up the flag-smashers plot needs to be replaced by a better scenario writer. They were really generic boring ass antagonists which took the whole thing down a notch. Felt like watching some regular non-marvel, non-HBO, non-prestige TV show story. Falcon & Winter Soldier deserved a better storyline to be in.

Also it was kind of lame that

They wasted Zemo like that in the end. Story would've been much better if he ended up as the main antagonist.

This show is really bringing back a genre that doesn't exist much anymore of camp horror. I hope it gets a lot more seasons.

Yeah, Loki looks like it might be good, but it's not just that Hiddleston is great (he is) - the Loki character is pretty interesting, and the show premise is also pretty interesting, assuming its basically Quantum Leap meets Hustle / Leverage.

Falcon was really good.  A lot of the action was pretty stunning, especially Falcon himself.  It very much felt on par with a full movie most of the time.  I'm really glad the story explored post-snap issues, though the Flagsmashers were too generic.  I liked the main one though.  I feel like an episode just devoted to them would have really fleshed out their story.  I really hope this isn't the end of post-snap stuff.  Actually, I really hope this gets a second season. 


The show's handling of race issues I think was great.  I really wasn't expecting Marvel to push it that hard.  It got a bit cornball this episode but honestly, it felt good and I think Marvel correctly read that something hopeful was something needed right now.

I liked Falcon, and I liked the Winter Soldier, and I really liked John Walker and Zemo, but I thought everything else was CW tier. Really fun characters that deserved better villains and better pacing. I'm really glad that after the shield was handed over in endgame that they didn't weasel out passing the mantle, but they might as well have if the character is forever trapped in these tv shows that don't do him justice.

Felt like they cut out all the stuff that would make you properly sympathize with Flag Smashers and to a smaller
Degree Walker too. The action was great but the ending didn’t feel earned, like maybe they thought you’d care too much for Carli and her cause so they cut most of her out of the show.

That's a really good way of putting it and pretty much how I thought about this show- likeable main characters, "eh" plot.  Just did not care for the Flag Smashers at all.

Also thought that Falcon looked pretty goofy when

he got his Captain America suit, but that fits in with the comics because he looked pretty goofy when they made him Cap briefly there, too.  I marked out when Walker appeared as U.S. Agent- figured that was coming but it was cool to see.

I think Loki will be a much, much more interesting show than this or WandaVision were.  Am kind of bummed out that the next movies are Black Widow (which is going to feel "dated" now), Shang-Chi, and Eternals.  I'd rather get right to Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, lol.

Beggs talks about Lionsgate’s 360 strategy for mining IP that The Continental is part of, reveals that a new series rake on American Psycho is in the works and addresses the long-circulating rumors about a Saw TV series.

...

American Psycho is in development. We’re always exploring what we can do in television with something like the Saw franchise, so that’s a conversation.”

Beggs would not elaborate further, but I hear that Lionsgate TV is in early talks on a TV series adaptation of the book of Saw, from Mark Burg and Oren Koules’ Twisted Television.

Watched ep4 of Creepshow S2, was solid.
But then I finally watched the holiday special from last year which I missed since I unsubbed from Shudder between S1 and S2.


THAT WAS SO GOOD. Amazing episode. Better than all the eps in S1/S2. Was really funny. Adam Pally was fantastic as the main guy.

Falcon and The Winter Soldier... sorry

CAPTAIN AMERICA and the Winter Soldier
[close]
had a good finale, good action. I'm not too deep into the history of characters so some appearances are completely lost on me. My wife looks at me when a character revelation is revealed and I'm like "I dunno." I know Sam became Captain America in a storyline. What JLD is going here and who she is portraying is a complete mystery to me.

I feel like the Flag Smashers and Karli were supposed to be a little more sympathetic, but the relocation storyline wasn't enough. It needed like one more episode to flesh that out. Same with the reveal of the Power Broker. Needd like 30 minutes to explain the family lineage a little more and why this is bad. Or good. Who knows!

Senator: "Thanks, Sam, I mean Captain America!"
Sam: (deeeep breath) "ACTUALLY...."

Wow that speech was good, but did it go on and on.

Elijah picking up a tree like a twig was hilarious. Subtle.

The stories are good, but they are starting to get a little inside baseball. Great action though. Disney spent a lot of money on this, and it shows.

Yep. That pretty much sums that scene up.

He could definitely get up to some way more freaky shit with super girl anyway. Fuck Amber the whore.

Amazon's HANNA series s1 is freaking great. Joel Kinnaman is a fantastic actor, I'd probably watch anything with him in it that isn't the first Suicide Squad movie. The show moves at a good clip, no filler, and has only a few lame plot-armor-logic errors.

Teenage friend Sophie seems to entirely forget that she saw Hanna destroy several armed security guards and nearly shoot one of them in a fugue state. The CIA would be watching Sophie's family for a while after they'd had contact with Hanna; yeah, Wiegler is trying to keep it off the books as possible, but lack of coverage would be a red flag if it ever came under even casual review.
