Just watched the first season of “3 Body Problem”. I expected soooo much!
Cool story (in the books), some great actors (at least two from “Game of Thrones”), good showrunners (again, from “Game of Thrones”) and a tantalizing start with some science stuff that was in keeping with some things I am working on currently.
Bottom line: it was boring as hell. I could have told that story in 2 episodes, not 10. It’s watchable, but not a TV event…
"2001 is easily one of my favourite movies. Though - as SciFi - I prefer the original BladeRunner (director’s cut without the stupid voice over) with the wonderful Dutch Actor Rutger Hauer!
Ad Astra didn’t do it for me.
Best scene in movie history:
(from 0:55")
“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain”
OK, maybe this is the best:
Or is it this?
My gf thinks it is the “Killer on the Dancefloor” scene in Saltburn, for obvious reasons
Netflix spoiled us all I think. I was the same way for a long time. Over the past couple of years, I’ve started appreciating the excitement of having to wait a week for shows that I really like. The last couple of weeks of Shogun were torture and I loved it. This is one I’ve been waiting for, for long time.
Seems to create a bit of controversy already (based on being overly “woke” apparently in topics and especially casting decisions; and no longer true to canon/lore).
Not a SW fan or subscriber to Disney to begin with (so I have no stakes in this), but this apparently already led to a number of cancellations and requests for heads to be rolling…
Have seen the first episode and can confirm that there are all kinds of aliens and genders - as expected from a vast universe with many diferent species and cultures.
Don’t get why gender is an issue. I mean: what gender is R2D2? Everybody loves R2D2, nobody discuss it’s (his? her? don’t care!) bedside manners…
PS A bigger issue is that all Star Wars spin-offs were boring as hell.
