So I'm on episode 4 and am now realizing everything with the Witcher up to now seems to be a flashback, while everything with Princess Cirilla is present time. I definitely like the show but am a bit irritated now by this method of story telling and the separate timelines without letting the viewer know that's what they were doing before hand. Anyone mind at least sharing at what episode do the timelines come together?

Or does the first season end without the timelines coming completely together?

Can't really say without spoiling it but if you're on ep4 expect more jiggery pokery with timelines.

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. Yeah, don't spoil it. I'll just keep going. Characters and story are good, but don't love the timeline structure. Hopefully it resolves at least somewhat satisfactory and/or sets itself up for an even better season 2.

Star Wars Episode IX.

I liked it as a movie. It was better than the other 2 new trilogy movies. I mostly hated the entire direction they took with the new trilogy, basically making the original trilogy not matter in anyway. I wanted like, New Republic vs the remnants of the Empire, not "Oh hai, new rebel vs a new Empire we made up!!"

The last Jedi is my second favorite of the 9 episodes. Tfa and tros are my two least favorite. I found tros to be unimaginative and lacking everything that could have made it an epic end to the Skywalker saga.

Rambo, Last Blood.

It was good from the gratuitous violence and revenge angle, though.

I like to see dirty criminals blowed up and stuff.

Assuming you’re being serious, what made The Last Jedi so good?

TLJ is the only Star Wars movie I've never seen more than once and the only one that is available that I haven't bought. It was one of the worst pieces of garbage I've ever seen.

He isn't being serious, its like a 90 min golf cart chase. Boring as fuck, didn't advance the plot, you could literally skip the movie and it wouldn't affect your knowledge of the plot.

The only thing in it "Your parents were no one" is later proven to be bullshit anyways. You can literally ignore the whole movie and miss nothing.

Does the Witcher have bewbs and weiners flying across the screen? Honestly, tired of all of that and one reason why I never watched GoT.

Also, like literally any Star Wars movie is just dumb.

I enjoyed The Witcher. I did not have high expectations nor had I read any of the books or played any of the games.

The show is indifferent towards the audience regarding the timeline of events as presented. The world and the storyline(s) are not exactly spoon-fed either. Ironically, I think that's why critics are nailing it, but audience scores are much higher.

Some of the Witcher episodes have pockets of genius, like episode 3 with the Striga arc.

But most of the shows “main arc” is kinda shit, with typical “network tv” banter/dialogue and general shitty costumes. The armors in the show are poorly done with the platemail being clearly visible as spray-painted plastic. The ballsack armor is almost comical and an eyesore.

I just watched the episode where Yennifer tries to save the baby and the mother from the assassin and his pet. I thought it was really well done.

The story arc with the cursed hedgehog dude and the princess was so fucking confusing though. I had no idea what was going on. Really shitty writing.

That was Ciri's father and mother. It was how he "won" Ciri.

I figured that out at the end. It was all the other shit that happened at that ball that could have been clearer with better writing. It seems, in most episodes, the writers responsible for the dialogue had never actually had a conversation before in their lives. I still don't know why that queen hated the hedgehog so much and tried to kill him. All the overacting, dramatic faces the actors made during the whole thing weren't adequately explained during the actual scene and it was annoying. It doesn't help that Cavill only seems to have one expression either. They must have hired him for his granite jaw and ignored his lack of acting talent.

I'm in the middle of the dragon episode now and enjoying it. The overall series is actually enjoyable, you just have to watch with a less than critical eye and hope the writing improves next season.

To be fair, Geralt isn't supposed to be a walking emoji. I think the actor is doing a good job of portraying Geralt.

https://youtu.be/ltnXFGa6244?t=213

Explains a lot from the perspective of the games which is changed up a bit for the show.

They are basically doing all the backstories for the characters over many different centuries. Geralt and Yennifer are in their 100s when they meet Ciri for instance. Instead of just focusing on one person and then saying "Okay, forget them for a while" they are doing them all at once. Season two should bring it all together.

I just watched through the witcher for a second time. There are a lot of nice hidden details that you dont really notice on the first run through.

But I agree the conversations are generally poorly done, and the order of events makes things confusing.

I feel some of the casting is a little weak. The actresses who plays yennifer and triss are not the best choices, yennifers actress is beautiful but dont give me the dangerous feeling I get from the yennifer of the books. Nor is she as vengeful as i would of hoped
I feel Caville hits his role out of the park though.

Also the fights. Some are brilliant, some have too much going on and are either confusing or badly written. I found the defense of the mages very badly done. The only guy I liked was the sword mage.

Still excited for the 2nd season, now that the world building is mostly done. I hope they slap in a few more monster hunts as I feel the Striga episode was the best of the series and people love seeing old fables brought to life.

The problem with the approach the writers and directors have taken is that they assume the viewers know about that world and so fail to explain what's going on for those viewers who aren't familiar with the stories or games. I'm familiar with the games but I still spend more time than I should going, "what the fuck was that about?"

It's been a while since I played but didn't Triss have a bigger role to play? Or did the writers sacrifice her storyline for some reason?

The fights are really enjoyable, you are right about that.

I will say this for Cavill: He uses the word "fuck" to good effect.

All I can say is The Mandalorian is fucking awesome!

It's been awhile since I read the books, and played the games, but Triss is one of Geralts love interests. They hadn't approached that in the series yet, and I'm not sure they will because they already gone all in with the Yennifer love arc.

Looks like they won't be doing the time skipping for the second season.

The movie "Midsommar" was so bad / good, I couldn't look away.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8772262/

A couple travel to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for its fabled midsummer festival, but what begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult. Shit gets real weird real fast.

Battlefield Earth.. too much special effects and too much artificial too watch. Anyway it's too older to watch

A friend of mine cut up Sucker Punch and removed all the non-action scenes, ie. boring scenes. The movie got a lot better then. Not great, but better, which speaks volumes about how bad it was in the first place.

I watched Cats super drunk, it was ok then.

Just out of curiosity I googled the 100 worst movies of all time. I liked a lot of the movies on that list so I think I've lost all right to post in this thread :(

You don't realize how absolutely terrible the last 3 Star Wars movies are until you watch them for the 2nd time.

Absolutely pieces of steaming piles of shit.

I actually liked sucker punch, despite the concept that all the sexy dancing was replaced with CGI battles. Good soundtrack, very graphic novel-escqe film. The writing needed help but the big budget managed to pull it off.

The prequels were bad, but they had a clear, overarching plot. From the new trilogy, the first was a A New Hope remake, the second one went out of its way to sUbVeRt yOuR eXpEcTaTiOnS, and the third was a disorganized mess with Palpatine as a complete asspull. They're pretty to look at, but I really don't enjoy them as Star Wars movies.

Watched this. That is dark. Felt like Greek allegory to me. 3 of 4 stars.

Everything Everywhere All at Once - My son who is a big film nerd wanted to go, so I went with him. I don't know that the movie itself is bad, but personally I HATED it. It seems like filming a movie like this would be a lot more work than any normal movie, so I'm sure it took good actors to even make it through filming. The concepts were so far fetched though and the applications of those concepts felt like amateur B movie production level at times. But bits and pieces of the movie also seemed brilliant cinematography and storytelling. I have a fairly strong willing suspension of disbelief, but this movie just went completely off the rails. It got so bad I just switched to reading a book on my phone halfway through. Literally there were people with hotdogs for fingers.

Moonfall. Mind-bogglingly stupid.

We Need to Talk About Kevin

It was like watching a film that was made for psychology students to debate over. It was also very predictable.

Never have such good special effects been paired with such spectacularly terrible acting and dialogue. Much like a trainwreck, I couldn't look away.

I rented Morbius last night. The memes made it sound like it would be so bad it was ironically good, but it was just bad boring. The memes were a lie.
