Life's too short. Tapping out of this thrown together disappointment
Inept cops of the year award goes to...
The underlying thought that this modern reboot of Twilight Zone left with me is that it was nothing but a missed opportunity. The criteria to return to the series is twofold; you need to have a bunch of unique tales to make it stand out from Serling's original to make it worthwhile, which they don't, and secondly do that one thing more directly (in an era that almost demands it) that Serling couldn't, in to approach the themes and societal issues more directly than the creator couldn't back in the 50s. Rod Serling once said "I think it's criminal that we're not permitted to make dramatic note of controversial themes that are inherit in our society" so it's disappointing that only two episodes in it's run, s1e03 Replay and s2e09 Try, Try, really hits the target. Black Mirror remains the anthology series that I genuinely think that Rod would approve of.
What Will Smith says here about what you can put in a novel vs onscreen being different is wrong. What he's talking about is actually making a more palatable ending for mainstream pop corn munching audiences so Smith could continue his box office records (which he admits he was addicted to in his later biography). Deceitful retcon of what actually happened. Willy Bullshitter.
That was mental. And not in a good way.
I know it's a comedy but felt like Rani popping into prison visit with the question of how to get more drugs and the following answer to cook more up (in the community centre of all places) is really pushing it firmly into sitcom territory rather than dramedy. Really think The Outlaws should have been a one and done series. Watching this just to tick it off the list at this point.
"Let me see if I can understand this".... don't bother Krillin, your head will implode trying to understand time travel in anime
Ah time travel.. every Star Trek writer's crutch..
Needs much more Godzilla in this Godzilla series. Only chance of fatalities are from the viewers of this being talked to death
Can't believe years of waiting for live action Halo and this is what we get. This feels like a Halo show made for people that have never engaged with the Halo franchise. Gutted
This season is insane - Peter Laird and co. smoking some strong stuff here..
I keep watching to see something, anything, that you could claim inspired by Romero. Every episode seems to take it further away from anything that George would do.
Felt like Grange Hill in a fucking prison. Dogshit
Oof that was dull. I'm out
The second Jurassic World made no sense to me because in the modern world dinosaurs would make terrible weapons when you have drones and highly trained soldiers equiped with all sorts. Now we find out in this universe they have technology capable of functional robots it makes even less sense why any corporation would come at dinosaurs with weapons in mind. They are expensive and useless. Just stick with the robots man.
The show continues to drag. There's just not enough enthralling material in the story. It's a story of poor, silly women and awful, predatory men. Great drama does not make. They hit gold with the first season but have been this far unable to replicate the gripping drama successfully.
Feels like The CW doing a film. The bloody things never stops going. At least watching it at home on Disney+ you can break it up over a few days. Struggled staying awake in the cinema. Dull
Another tremendous, fun, slice of Chucky from Mancini.
"What else do you call that crawls out of a grave?" one character asks.
"Certainly not a George Romero zombie which you pretend to be inspired by" says the audience watching this car crash
Quite possibly the only Doctor Who episode I can say I've enjoyed (thus far). Martha is refreshing.
Definetly has more in common with Return of the Living Dead than Romero's Dead series. Romero would not approve of this. This is Children of the Living Dead bad.....
Well that was terrible.. stunned for words seeing Peter Kay as alien that absorbs human beings. Sometimes it's really hard to continue with Doctor Who and episodes like this makes me think again maybe this isn't the show for me.
This is exactly what Chucky should be; fun. Mancini knocks it out of the park as usual.
Such a slow burn I fell asleep.
Seriously the first season was one of the best TV series of last decade, the second was an abysmal, meandering mess of a show and this isn't a string start. If haven't enough material for ten hours then don't go ten hours.
Ah cool another episode with Hank Azaria voicing a black character that could easily be voiced by... an actual black actor. Its not like they would find it hard to get another rapper in as guess star.
The best tribute to George Romero would be to not have made this mediocre zombie series.
NB. Zombies busting out of graves is Return of the Living Dead. At least be inspired by the right series.
Tremendous entry for TV series. Excellent original music, incredibly well shot, the Chucky bits are hilarious and the tone is spot on. This is what happens when an organisation allows the original series creator to do his thing. Mancini did a great job
Funko is a cancerous growth on pop culture and it's toys are a bland reflection of the obsession with consumerism of media rather than anything meaningful interaction with the work. "You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it"
Absolutely loved episode 7 as I'm a comics guy. I could leave the rest which feel like a paid advertisment for Disney Marvel. Skippable.
Feels like watching someone play a Telltale game
