It’s one of the most critically acclaimed, adored and best recieved games of all time so I have no idea how it would have improved upon that if they did any of this? 🤷‍♂️

Yes I’m absolutely certain based on this comment that you’d have found the episode equally dull and umaffecting if it wasn’t a gay couple

Yeah feel the same. The Fall was BEAUTIFUL but even that, being one of his more clear personal visions, failed a bit on the story side (for me at least).

I always check for his work though.

Really good point actually. It made his relationship w Tess matter more too so added more to previous episodes’ events. Set the scene for him protecting Ellie as you say.

They made a self contained love story within the confines of a fungal world calamity and made you love the 2 characters and mourn their losses all within 30 minutes of introducing you to them in the first place.

That’s pretty much as good as writing, direction, acting and pacing can get.

I certainly won’t say it’s ‘one of the best tv episodes ever’ but it was brilliant.

This guy makes 5/10 films that LOOK like 10/10 films and I love it. Only exception is The Cell which is obv 10/10 all around.

Great director with an eye for the spectacular, even if the films themselves don’t always translate.

Good point, incorrectly using shorthand. I meant English-speaking audiences, good save.

A Man Called Otto is a direct remake for Western audiences of A Man Called Ove. It’s the same film repurposed for a new audience.

Gran Torino is entirely different but does share some of the same themes

Loved it tbh, it was meant to be a bit silly

1a. Vice City 1b. The vibes

First of all fuck you, and second of all ahhh right ok sorry you’re just joking cool ok I got u

You may be right been ages since I saw it. I think it’s achievable and people honestly don’t care how effects are done as long as it’s done well. The issue is the cost and man hours

It would absolutely work and has done. Only problem is practical effects usually cost more and take much more hours/manpower.

A quite recent ish example though just bc it comes to mind was the Dark Crystal Netflix reboot series which did very well a few years ago. However that had a lot of money behind it

Severance is absolutely superb imo tbh so I would say that it is, however I was intrigued and involved fully by the end of episode 1 so don’t really understand ‘does the show pick up’ as I didn’t find it slow or in engaging early on anyway.

Bit of a stretch tbh but to each their own. He absolutely has lol but I guess I prefer THIS take to those who ride for Ye and Jesus Is King haha

This is an easy one. Kanye West hasn’t released a worthwhile solo album since Life of Pablo which came out about 8 years ago, so what this means is he’s categorically not a consistent artist. No maths needed. Glad to be of service.

1. It categorically is
2. Yes it was also condescending 😜

Haha love how you took that as an attack rather than a question. Which definitely is a you problem loool

Depends on what you’re posting, dude. Maybe this is a you problem
