dc20willsave Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Girl Meets World, the sort of sequel series to Boy Meets World, had an episode where a teacher nearly gets fired for teaching The Dark Knight Returns. The metaphor kinda works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I'm an adult and I love that show, even if it is a little heavy handed with the lessons. I re-watched Boy Meets World beforehand and the heavy handed lessons are pretty much in line with the original, specially the middle school years. And I gotta say, I don't like the trend of this season bringing back people. Yeah, it is cool to see Mr. Turner show up and all, but it's started to feel like a reunion show rather than a sequel. Half this season has been guest star episodes. Seems a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 GAH. Okay, okay, okay. So for the past couple months, Ron Perlman's been banging the drum that there should be a Hellboy 3. Now, he says that he doesn't want to make Hellboy 3 but he feels that they're "obligated to finish the story." I'm so sick of this idea that every fandom deserves to be placated just because they're fans. Sometimes TV shows only get a season and sometimes movie franchises "only" get two movies. So it goes.

dc20willsave Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Holy shit! I'm marking my calender for 8/6/2025 as the day I get to see The Day the Clown Died. Should be a fun day, hopefully the chill in hell is just a slight freezeover, not everything just a frozen block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 New Line is making a new A Nightmare on Elm St. remake. David Johnson (Orphan, Red Riding Hood, Wrath of the Titans) is writing. It can't be as bad as the last remake, right? RIGHT?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 And Robert Englund isn't even dead yet, albeit he must be fairly senior 12 years on from Freddy vs Jason. Still, what harm can constant reboots do, eh?! I know people are flocking to see Fantasti......er.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 True Detective finale is a lot to unpack. A lot. Overall, (I know I'm in the minority, here) it was a much better season than the first. It did a lot of amazing things with the plot that a mystery never really does (restarting halfway through? Bonkers!) and quite wonderfully wrapped occultism and stuff like Bohemian Grove all in a non-supernatural way. Potent. Great acting all-around. Everyone. The one thing season one has over it is the chemistry between Harrelson and McConaughey which is nowhere to be found here. Completely different season though.

Koete Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Finished it today. I didn't hate this season, but I thought it was very uneven and definitely not as strong as the first season. I thought the acting was pretty great all around with the main cast, Vince Vaughn really surprised me, but the characters weren't across the board. Pizzoatto's interest really seemed to be on Ray and Frank, who were the most interesting characters, which made Ani and Paul's stories ultimately lacking. I also think it lost something by not having every episode directed by a talented director like Fukunaga; there were definite high points like the shoot out and the finale, but some of those episodes looked really cheap. Matthew McConaughey's acting talent and character made Pizzolatto's more out there dialogue work, but Frank's hard-boiled gangster lines and just inane shit like "blue balls in your heart" fell completely flat this time around. I did like that it retained the sense of failure in the grand scheme of things that season one had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
