I don't quite understand that. Do you enjoy serialized television with ongoing story arcs that stretch a season or more?Skeletor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:14 pmi just don't seem to enjoy anything where they tie them togetherDantes wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 8:24 pm I'm actually kind of excited to see where they go.

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
This is a great question, and you know it really depends
There's the X-Files and Walking Dead paradigm, where each season is written independently, and the writers for season three have no idea what season five is going to be like
Or then there's the (initial) Game of Thrones paradigm, where certainly as of season three they have to know what season five is going to be like, because it's already a novel
Sometimes it goes awry, like Dark was supposed to be four seasons and suddenly they had to end it in three

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
i do generally like the first seasons best, so there's something to that, enjoying being introduced to new characters or a new take on a character, and the environmentDantes wrote: ↑Tue Jan 31, 2023 9:17 pmI don't quite understand that.

but you know, i do also like some long running shows with long running story arcs
i guess i feel kind of bait and switched when i like these characters and this arc, but actually it's all a part of this other stupid arc. and it seems like the other arc just kinda has to be stupid if you're allowed to consume it piecemeal

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I think The Batman did the best job of any batman movie I've seen with depicting how it would really feel if there was a person in a bat costume showing up to insert themselves into crime scenes. not really really, but he does come off as a believably dangerous weirdo
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
whenever people write "the batman" instead of just "batman" (and yes I get that that's the title of the film) i think of the way Cillian Murphy says "the batman" in that one scene in batman begins https://youtu.be/xgj6-F1m2CI?t=239

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I think of that Batman serial they did in the 1940s, where the villain was Japanese and they portrayed him and his henchmen in this like super-racist fashion. The villain, "Prince Daka," kept saying "The Beeahtmeeeahn" in this ridiculous accent, not even close to an actual Japanese accent, designed to make him this "evil foreign Jap" character for the 1943 audience to hate
We saw some of this serial because we were members of The Tampa Theatre, which at the time showed only indie films and foreign films, and they would precede the movie with an episode from this serial (at which the audience would laugh at how bad it was) in the style of the way serials would precede your movie back then

Everything Everywhere All At Once had a very big night last night at the Oscars.
Which, good. Particularly Michelle Yeoh. She's always been an excellent actress, it's good to see her get the recognition.

Spike Jonze? Oh he had had a bunch of music videos by this time, Sabotage by the Beastie Boys being my favorite
Buddy Holly by Weezer and Oh So Quiet by Bjork were also noteworthy
I have a DVD of Spike Jonze music videos actually
