Reply to ‘Succession’ Composer Nicholas Britell: No One Knew It Was the Final Season Until Post-Production by mrnicegy26
What even is the end of this show? The end could be Logan choosing a successor and them sitting in the big chair. They could get hit by a car the next episode and it all starts again.

How this show is still happening is utterly beyond me.

Reply to Why is Dead Space so much scarier than Alien Isolation? Is it the Necromorphs? by LordRevanofDarkness
In my opinion it isn’t. Fear like many other things in life is dependent on each individual. So whilst you’ve used lots of flashy descriptions to talk about dead space you’re just hand waving away anything about Alien Isolation because from your view dead space is better.

This reminded me of the Key and Peele gremlins 2 sketch which if you haven’t seen I highly recommend!

Yes. Time I think has been it’s biggest enemy. It’s become the exact thing that it was mimicking/poking fun at

I’ve dipped in and out of Riverdale and am mostly up to date but I watch it sort of in a let’s see what madness they’re up to now. I watched the original twin peaks and fire walk with me but just couldn’t get into the new season.
Most if not all Riverdale episodes are named after old genre movies, it’s neon soaked and so out there that it is clearly a conscious decision but wether that means it’s a good decision is another thing. My fiancé always questions why I watch it and I always say because I think it might be genius and I’m going to figure it out. It’s the TV version of Nic Cage

Sure The Punisher chaperoned one of their school dances!

Yeah that’s what I always viewed it as. Twin Peaks always walked a fine line for me of “is this bad on purpose or is it just bad”

In my mind the writers room of Riverdale is a group of people and one person at the top says “you can write ANY story you want as long as it happens to these characters” and they don’t care if it makes sense or not

I’ve watched both and I am well aware of how loved Twin Peaks is and the reputation of Lynch and Frost but honestly some of Twin Peaks seems just as dumb and nonsensical as parts of Riverdale.
Sometimes I wonder if years from now people will rediscover Riverdale as some cult hit

Reply to Ryan Murphy: Original ‘Glee’ Script Had Mr. Schue as ‘Crystal Meth Addict’ and Was ‘NC-17 Version of Show Choir’ by MarvelsGrantMan136
Glee was such a wasted opportunity. It started out poking fun at that type of teen drama and then ended up becoming the thing it made fun of but dialled up to 11.

I know nothing about Constance Lloyd but this is perfect casting as I think Emilia Clarke would be my ideal wife

Reply to Films that are excellent to throw on at night and fall asleep to. I need some suggestions, and I have a few that work for me. by Single_View_3645
‘The vast of night’ would be good for this. It’s about a guy at a radio station and a girl on a switch board in a small town who maybe pick up an alien signal. Lots of long dialogue sections with not huge amounts of visual activity. I’ve listened to it in bed and it could almost be a radio play
