drave 05-03-2022 08:35 AM

I'm watching nothing.

Sepholio 05-05-2022 02:48 AM

Oh man Cowboy Bebop handled Mad Pierrot perfectly. So much better than I had thought they would or even hoped for. The show deserved its second season based on this alone.

Sepholio 05-05-2022 02:50 AM

Also LOL at Spike and Vicious having a random conversation about shaving/not shaving their balls.

RIGHT!?

Sepholio 05-05-2022 08:16 AM

V upset they aren't doing season 2. Didn't think I would feel like this man. Feels bad.

Destor 05-05-2022 08:32 AM

show was shit. 60% of the audience in ep 1 didnt return for ep 2 and by ep 3 the show was basically a private theater for you 3 assholes. lets not look back fondly on that fucking turd

Destor 05-05-2022 08:32 AM

HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO NOT EVEN GET EIN RIGHT

drave 05-05-2022 08:50 AM

better than Halo :D

Destor 05-05-2022 09:52 AM

i thankfully will never know

drave 05-05-2022 10:04 AM

Didn't even finish an entire episode. Honestly, outside of Halo terms, it could just be another Space Marine show.

Destor 05-05-2022 10:41 AM

it didnt look inspired...at all

Fignuts 05-05-2022 11:45 AM

Yeah, I've rarely seen an adaptation miss the tone and and atmosphere of the source as badly as Cowboy Bebop. If you want to change things up and do your own thing that much, then fine, but make something original then, instead of an adaptation.

People probably wouldnt have disliked this as much if it was an original ip. Writing was still bad, but it may have lasted long enough to turn itself around instead of being immediately cancelled.

drave 05-05-2022 11:48 AM

INdeed. Didn't they pitch it as a "shot for shot" remake of the anime early on?


I think I recall watching trailers that were comparing the 1st episode side-by-side to the anime, and it was pretty spot on.


Took a shit after that, and the only REAL good parts revolved around Mad Pierrot.

Triple A 05-05-2022 12:18 PM

Any1 ever watch the non-hit HBO show "Rome"

Watched the first season and a couple of episodes of season 2... really like it

Wasn't liking it for like the first half of the first season but then started getting very good imho!

Theres the occasional shot taken straight from the anime, but theres usually a brown or blue tint and all the color has been drained, making it look worse than the original.

Ironically, the best looking shots are the ones they came up with on their own. There are moments where the cinematography is very good. Thats the only really good thing I can say about the show.

Lock Jaw 05-05-2022 12:55 PM

I'd be interested to watch it as a guy who has never seen the anime and see what I think..... but it was canceled so I probably won't

Destor 05-05-2022 01:05 PM

don't worry its very bad on its own merrits

Fignuts 05-05-2022 01:22 PM

Even if you've never seen the anime, Ed is one of the cringiest things you will see on a show.

drave 05-05-2022 01:47 PM

Oh god..... I think I blocked that out..... and Ed was barely even there.

Rome was a great show for the first season and still a damned good one for season two but I think they were spending too much on production so it got the axe.
I remember it fondly anyway, could well be worth watching again. The action scenes were pretty great.

Seanny One Ball 05-05-2022 02:40 PM

Trips you might enjoy Spartacus Blood And Sand if you like Rome.

Seanny One Ball 05-05-2022 02:42 PM

Watched the first episode of “The Pentaverate” and it is hot garbage with material Chuck Lorre would consider too broad and old hat.

Canada jokes in 2022.

Sepholio 05-05-2022 11:58 PM

Is that the thing with Mike Myers in it?

wtf at suddenly getting a new monotone twink actor to play Octavian... old Octavian was way better... still on s2 episode 4 but damn...

Seanny One Ball 05-06-2022 06:10 AM

I think the original was too young, the time jumps forward a fair bit in season 2.

Sepholio 05-07-2022 05:39 AM

wow The Pentaverate is trash. If this is the kinda dreck Myers still wants to put out there then he needs to just suck it up and give the people Austin Powers 4 like they wanted 20 years ago.

Sepholio 05-07-2022 05:40 AM

The only value in this show is that its such a trainwreck that you kinda wanna see if it can possibly get any dumber. It does. Oh God it does.

Seanny One Ball 05-07-2022 08:10 AM

I did warn you man.

There’s material in there that wouldn’t have made the grade for Airplane! 2

Sepholio 05-07-2022 04:57 PM

Your warning wasn't clear enough and now my dick is caught in the ceiling fan. Thanks a whole bunch.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-07-2022 05:19 PM

Myers’s newer stuff has a way of making you appreciate the older stuff less (partially because his shit is usually recycled from his older work)

Lock Jaw 05-07-2022 05:22 PM

Feel like Austin Powers 4 would suck now too

Lock Jaw 05-07-2022 05:23 PM

I mean the third one was already not great

Seanny One Ball 05-08-2022 04:16 PM

The presence of Michael Caine in a sequel guarantees a level of quality far below sub-standard and into MST3K territory.

You couldn’t tell Mike Myers was in it?
He’s 75% of the cast.

Sepholio 05-14-2022 02:04 AM

Hey he's still not automatically off-putting for me because I was a mark for Austin Powers and Waynes World when I was a kid.

Sepholio 05-14-2022 02:07 AM

Anyways, as I tend to do, I didn't watch one of the super popular shows that everyone was into when it was popular. Dunno why I tend to shy away from things everyone else loves, but it what it is and now I finally get around to watching something 73 years late.

This time it was Breaking Bad. I'm not even giving thoughts on the show other than to say I was an idiot for not watching this before. Oh and Walter is the fucking man. Predictably I followed up with El Camino and now I'm on to Better Call Saul. I really gotta stop doing this to myself. Maybe I'll watch Game of Thrones after this. Or The Sopranos. You get the picture.

Seanny One Ball 05-14-2022 05:46 AM

The Sopranos is a must-watch.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-14-2022 08:40 AM

Sopranos instead of GoT. For God’s sake.
