@michael_inverse @CultureCave_ it was set in the 80s silly

‘Noah Schnapp officially takes the crown as the least booked Stranger Things cast member after Natalia Dyer landed a role following four years without any projects’.

@nimlot26 they didn’t impose anything - they politely requested to maybe wait for final verdict as the Cryo Archive is the big climatic activity

@maltburger85 @mellon_heads no, it wouldn’t - you blow up something that’s out of focus, it’s still gonna be out of focus lol

@mellon_heads This issue today would be solved with some AI upscaling.

Peter Jackson said that when shooting one of the final scenes in Return of the King, The Grey Havens, they shot for a whole day with everyone performing outstandingly with real emotion and real tears but due to the regular camera-man focus puller being off sick that day, they used a stand in with less experience. Jackson realised 2 days later with horror that nearly every shot was out of focus so they had reshoot everything again.

@TrilbeeReviews @Harry_dr1 oh my goodness lad, it’s just a darkly funny, very much to camera moment - a relatable everyday scenario we see all the time & a woman who just nearly saw the world end (and we SEE the Severance approving people get their comeuppance, this has been weeks since the meeting)

@Harry_dr1 She can only point her gun at a civilian littering if she also kills the people who activated Severance to maintain pollution profits. Her doing the former but nothing is done about the latter basically betrays the whole tone/message of the series and is shockingly tone-deaf.

26 episodes of TV from the Bad Wolf era of #DoctorWho and the big takeaway is that Russell T. Davies *really* wants audiences to hate Kate Stewart.

@AndreiMallare2 reminder that he’s an extremely talented show runner & writer, and in no way needs to physically play the new GoW games to do his job effectively

Reminder that the showrunner of the upcoming Amazon's God of War show didn't play the games properly. It's going to be end up being a mess.

@TrilbeeReviews it is literally just the god of death, no one really needs to know anything beyond that?

From 'Space Babies' to 'Rogue' it was great chatting with friends and family every Saturday about the latest episode and sharing thoughts and positivity. But this reveal was what caused those people to check out of this era. Such a massive, unforced error from RTD.

@WilliamWhoDW so textually in the episode we actually got, they reexamined an oft forgotten aspect of the Doctor through the lens of his companions, literally side lining villains and lore for a very simple story about lost & found children and that’s bad?

I honestly prefer the ending they did do with Poppy. I just want Susan to come back. We don’t need all this new lore stuff. It’s really simple. Focus on the reunion between The Doctor & Susan. This era needs to stop with so much lore nonsense. Focus on the important things.

@XiordS_ people are way to quick to lay the blame someone who spearheaded a worldwide revival, employed thousands of people in a premiere studio, moved heaven & earth to accommodate Ncuti’s schedule & delivered 20 episodes across 2 years 🤷‍♂️

Since they recorded S1/2 back to back. Ncuti would have had to be denying jobs for almost a year. Since DW refused to film anything for S3 until they got confirmation about future Disney deals. I don't blame him for leaving. I blame RTD for not speaking up for his actors...

@WilCantrell @Joe_Street00937 like, where people see the Onega confrontation as short and anticlimactic - i just see Ncuti’s peak Doctor clash moment, and so clearly not what the finale is textually *about*

@Joe_Street00937 There were some fun bits. I love the throw away line that we're now in a reality where Ernest Borgnine is still living. Mel's badass arrival on the 60'th floor of UNIT driving a moped. But the genius way Poppy fell out of existence as Ruby watched the coat being passed & folded.

ngl… just rewatched the reality war… genuinely really enjoyed it? it’s not perfect by any means but… it’s lots of fun? great set pieces? Ncuti is at his absolute peak, lots of fun lines… can’t quite see why everyone hates it so much😭😂

@BINNGGUSS @spreadonbread @Ztrangefolk what, the same exact viewership as something like the Last of Us? most shows would kill that kind of stickiness (tho yeah it’s not the mid 2000s anymore, 10m+ aren’t tuning in)

@spreadonbread @Ztrangefolk Yeah he’s really “winning” with those viewership numbers. And that “content” being generated is 90% people talking about how much the show and finale fucking sucked. So by that metric yeah he’s definitely “winning” lol

I'm really sorry but people insisting that Billie Piper isn't actually playing the doctor are coping so hard

@Alejand12864392 @_PigginTeaBreak i agree the new episodes are missing bins that eat people, or farting aliens - the tone is *so* different now 😮‍💨

@_PigginTeaBreak I don't know what's different about the show, but they removed it because it feels different, it's not the same tone as always and they should go back to what they had because what they have now is pure stinking shit.

Telling my normie friends that Doctor Who would be great again because “the guy who did it when Tennant was the Doctor is back” only to be met with TCORR, Space Babies and the Devil’s Chord. There isn’t even a word for this level of embarrassment.

@starlat46242680 @TrilbeeReviews for REAL 😮‍💨

I'm genuinely not trying to be mean/contrarian but I really don't have much to say about this one. It felt like nothing happened and then we got a name-drop for a character who hasn't been mentioned on-screen since 1988 and then the credits rolled. Bring on next week, I guess.

@KingFazir @markgadala amazing! now we can contribute nothing!

@markgadala Amazing! Now we need the prompts.

Less than 24 hours ago, Google dropped Veo 3, blurring the line between reality and AI. Its video and audio quality is so lifelike, it’s unsettling. Here are 20 insane examples & a full guide on how to use it: 1) A standup comedian telling a joke:

@markgadala @RANADAofficial @SunPowerFusion is this what you want?

@RANADAofficial @SunPowerFusion Yup

@Captain_British @longstosee y’all would rather Ruby be a pawn baby orchestrated by the Rani rather than have her meet a normal mum who’d previously been in bad circumstances 😅

@longstosee PLEASE. LET IT BE TRUE. MAKE THE S1 ENDING LESS SHITTY

@ribcageteeth @FunkierTransfem he👏doesn’t👏represent👏Palestine

@FunkierTransfem I’m talking about afterwards when he DOES know all of that, and he still says that kid has a “filthy heart that wants to kill.” if you don’t see the problem with the doctor saying that about a character who represents Palestine, I dont know what to say to you

@Darren_Mooney i was red hot on S1 but aye no lie, that finale (which wasn’t terrible!) still left a lingering out sized sour taste

I don’t hate “Space Babies” or “Empire of Death” as much as most people - I’m old enough to remember how Davies seasons work - but it is perhaps premature to talk about how much better this season is before the finale, given the outsized role that plays in fan opinions.

My boring hot take is that while the average quality of Season 2 is higher than that of Season 1, I’ve don’t think any Season 2 episode clears “Boom”, “73 Yards” or “Dot and Bubble.” (I mean, maybe “Lux?”) Allowing for “Lucky Day”, the season’s consistently as good as “Rogue.”

@eddiotsavant @JSPointAcq @BenStiller the way we talk about movies now is so gross lol

@JSPointAcq @BenStiller The movie is a success. WB is in talks for a prequel series and a sequel. Coogler has also gifted WB with an IP they can mine for years of content. 60 mil is nothing compared to what this flick will be able to spinoff for the next 20 years. That’s what Variety should focus on.

In what universe does a 60 million dollar opening for an original studio movie warrant this headline?

@joyceybannachek @noclipvideo carefully re-read the post and think about it some more lol

@noclipvideo How does it cover 20+yrs of dev if it was filmed over 3yrs?

COMING SOON: The Story of DWARF FORTRESS - 4 part Series - 2 hours total runtime - Filmed over 3 years - Covers 20+ Years of Development - Produced for fans, and total newbies. Episode One is also available right now for Early Access Patrons.

@myhandlewooooo nah, different opinions don’t bother me lol
