Twinblade★ 4,010 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I watched this British crime drama called Vigil. If Matrix Resurrections was a reunion for the Sense8 cast, then this is basically a reunion for Game of Thrones actors It was a fun watch though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angelfish 93 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Not really sure about the new RHCP album. Its growing on me the more I listen to it though. Frusciante's chops are still intact too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't listen to like the last 4-5 songs, but I knew there was a bad sign when I saw how many songs were on the album. That's usually a sign that they're trying to compensate for quality. These sound like B-sides. It took them until track 13, One Way Traffic, for them to truly get funky and energetic. Very surprising considering that Frusicante was coming back. Whereas I hadn't listen to much of their albums in the previous decade, so just a few months ago I discovered songs like Brandon's Death Song, which are head and shoulders superior than what's on this album. By the time I heard the album, I had already gotten an email saying that my Vinyl pre-order of the album had already shipped. Damn. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s about a white guy who moves to Japan to be a crime journalist and gets wrapped into Yakuza underworld, while also facing prejudice from his coworkers. @Twinblade I think you should check out the first episode. The similarities to Judgement/Yakuza is pretty big I felt. The main actor though is so I've also read he’s a bit of a dick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angelfish 93 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm finding the songs are growing on me albeit a lot more slowly than previous albums with Frusciante. I did go in with high expectations although I was aware he's barely touched the guitar in the past decade so did try to manage expectations a bit. I do still feel a bit bad for Klinghoffer though as I thought The Getaway was quite a big improvement on I'm With You (which I didn't particularly like). Frusciante would claim Goodbye Angels if he could IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,858 Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 Speaking of old school artists dropping new stuff, I’m digging the new Snoop album. It’s a nice throwback to the 90’s g funk era, while embracing some new school sounds/textures. It’s exactly how I wanted the album to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,926 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 New season of Atlanta has been fantastic. Most recent episode is going to be a big legacy type event for the show. The discussions regarding it are so toxic. I love how this show keeps pushing boundaries and the stories it’s telling. Shame it won’t get any attention during awards because it is considered a comedy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never thoroughly enjoyed Baby Driver because of that guy, and especially with that whole "moving to music" thing that he did, and the director made a centerpoint of the whole movie. Felt so smug I don't know how this guy still has a career with that receding hairline. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's one of those movies where you can see the director got his vision through. I do admit that these projects and I'm looking at James Gunn too where the director uses a movie to show off their Playlist prowess can be annoying at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 4,010 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 FROM season finale Spoiler It was good but raised way more questions while answering almost nothing. Especially concerning considering that there has been no announcement that its been renewed for another season yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,858 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Solid finale. Nothing answered. Just a shit load of new questions, which is fine. There better be a season 2, though. I probably would have liked it more, had I not seen the stellar season 1 finale of Severance 2 days ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,299 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Finally got around to watching Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch last night because I wanted to stay up and drink a little. At first I was thinking that this might be his worst bit of self-wankery, and then I realized something. This movie make almost all of his other movies look bad. because it proves that most Wes Anderson movies have no business being 90-120 minute movies. They should all be short 30-40 minute stories. Maybe the Grand Budapest Hotel warrants being a full movie, and I still like Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. But everything else? No way. Because he's only working with 30-40 minutes for each story, the edits are faster, there's no pointless backstories when he introduces another character. It moves quite quickly. And it look fucking gorgeous, at times. I wish I could take a trip to a small historic french town after seeing this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
