Reply to comment by bolanrox in TIL Al Capone was only 33 when he was locked away for tax evasion and developed neurosyphilis, leading to his death at 48. Eliot Ness was 27 when he formed the Untouchables--he died in a state of financial ruin in his 50s, likely hastened by his heavy drinking in his later life by capsaicinintheeyes
Well at least we learned our lesson and never made that mistake again. Right?

Just agreeing and adding on to what you said. Maybe it wasn't clear, I was talking about how the movie "Nope" knew how to make day-for-night look good, so HotD has no excuse.

The big problem with HotD's characters is that they have crappy motivation. When the show started, they all kinda sorta wanna be king in a vague, distant way, but they have zero immediate goals.
Compare that to GoT ep 1 where almost every character has a strong immediate, personal goal. And if they didn't have one is ep 1, they got one by ep 2.
And there were mysteries everywhere in GoT that had you begging to know more. HotD has no mysteries at all. None!
There are no white walkers, no "who tried to kill Bran?", no "who killed Jon Arryn?", no unknown schemers in the castle basement, no question of Jon Snow's parentage.
They just don't seem to "get" what made GoT good.

"Nope" had a ton of night scenes, which were all day-for-night, and they looked great on my cheap tv. So the technology is here to make it look good.

Reply to comment by MoonDaddy in TIL that the famous author Thomas Pynchon has avoided publicity during his fifty-year career to the point that almost all known photos of him are from the 1950s. However, he voiced himself in two episodes of The Simpsons, where his dialogue consisted entirely of puns on the titles of his books. by IHad360K_KarmaDammit

Reply to comment by domdiggitydog in I watched Twin Peaks for the first time, feel like a fool by neuroflix
I agree. FWWM and the Return may be "good," but they just don't have that Twin Peaks vibe that I love about season 1 and 2. They feel like Lynch's more abstract movies rather his more mainstream stuff.

Or how most working actors operate.

Reply to comment by anonymous6789855433 in TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower
I wonder if any of the 3 Pinocchio movies that came out this year did that.
