jehurey 3,278 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 getting drunk at a friends house last night, we couldn't think of anything to watch, so he decided on trying out this youtube series its a guy who has worked with the BBC, and he was given access to all of their raw video footage, and her combined just pure, raw video of Russia from 1985 to 1999, to show the fall of the soviet government, and them doing their first attempt at transition to capitalism that was a complete disaster, and how the whole country become very messed up and corrupt (in different ways than before). Its a 7 episode series called TraumaZone, all free on youtube. what makes it watchable is that these clips are no longer than half a minute, and you keep on seeing them return back to certain people, so its all easily digestible.

It's funny and shows how sad it is that social media controls how so many people think. The Barbie results is the result of certain people just reading Barbie hate content and getting upset by out of context lines or dumb shit like incels claiming that Margot Robbie isn't really that good looking anyway.

Twinblade★ 3,946 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I gotta give props to whoever came up with the flashback transition sound effect in Lost. Its so good and perfectly fits the vibe that the show is going for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You were right about how binging the show actually affects your perception of the pacing. Im on the last few eps of s3, and I didn't really feel like it dragged much during the middle eps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,946 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Wow! that was nuts Spoiler Charlie Also the scenes with punished Jack were a big WTF. Specifically the confirmation at the end that those scenes were basically flashforwards where some characters managed to leave the island? But then Jack name drops his father numerous times throughout the ep implying that he's still alive. Unless they're doing some alternate timeline type stuff where the characters' stories have different outcomes. Either that or nobody knows Jack's father is still alive and he's just stealing his identity to get what he wants (like the Oxycodone prescriptions). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It came on during peak TV viewer days and to make a show where you needed to follow every single episode in order, how do you survive in a secondary market where people would mostly just catch the shows randomly at odd hours? I could have never dealt with this waiting a week and having to catch an episode at a specific time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
