Banter RDT CLXXXIV - BigSpeakerbox

Tenet must have had a pretty big budget?

 

[Bender_]

Waiting for stream but it's on the list.

It still gives me the creeps thinking about it.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Am I the only one who watched Archive 81? Still bummed it was cancelled.

 

[Dazzler9]

Also I'm going to go out on a slight limb here and suggest almost all of your big budget original IPs weren't that original. Even Nolan bases most of his stuff on books/short stories or rips off Satoshi Kon.

In the context of this conversation, 'original' refers to something that is not a remake, reboot, sequel or part of a franchise of some sort. So for example, Lion King is based off of Hamlet, but it's still a movie that had never been done before.

The live action remake is where the issue lies

I watched it. Vaguely remember the ending but it was left openish, right?

* by live action remake, I mean CGI animation designed to look like live action, lol

I haven’t seen The Marvels but it's the same ending, basically. So open enough to warrant 12 sequels and 5 TV shows.

As one of the few other horror fans in this thread - have you seen Talk To Me yet? Fantastic original material.

No I think it was out while I was away? I haven't been spoiled yet but have been told it's great, been meaning to check it out.

I mean it's set in Adelaide so it's already got that baked-in sense of dread that any second you could be murdered or die of boredom.

 

[Dazzler9]

I am many hours too late with this post, but whatever

 

[squashface]

Big night for “here is an opinion” “here are some examples that go against that opinion” “those examples don’t count” fans out there

Have you watched Fall of the House of Usher yet? I liked the Hill House but found Bly Manor a bit meh so not as motivated to watch this one yet.

Very good, basically summed up all my feelings including the decomposing toilet roll flavour.

I actually did end up finishing the last half by drinking straight from the cup - which is fine when it's just soda but ir was like just eating clumps of semi-melted icecream.

I have, I'd have it above Bly but probably below Hill House and Midnight Mass. It's more gory schadenfreude/mystery than horror.

Worth watching purely for the Gina Rinehart name drop/burn.

Not knowing what to get my nephews for Christmas as they cross the tween to teen line, I have designed them something to wear to Eagles games.

And because there was a sale, I also made some for myself.

When’s your surgery Truckosaurus ?

Also, good luck for your surgery.

Thanks, it's Monday. Have to report at 6am ;_;

I've worked out the odds of dying are lower than the odds of winning the lotto, so if I die I'm definitely buying a Powerball ticket.

Just go out for a massive Sunday night bender then go straight to the hospital.

Saves on anaesthetic. Should get a cheaper bill.

I was thinking post-surgery morphine would be a good hangover cure

 

[DanWCE]

Krapopolis any good?

 

[happy_eagle]

This is what technology should be used for
