Dr. Pepper Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm still not sure if they intended the vampires to be who the audience ends up rooting for. They still are the best things about the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davrum Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The Strain is worth watching just to be able to follow along with the Got Your Milk podcast, made by the same fantastic gang who do the best Game of Thrones podcast, "The Joffrey of Podcasts". Of course unlike GoT, the Strain is very much a hatewatch deal for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davrum Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I completely disagree here :P I'm usually a subbed-guy all the way, but with Bebop I would personally recommend the dubbed version. The dubbed voice-actors fit much better with the genres from which Bebop takes its inspiration (noir and western). They feel more lived in. The English dub is unbearable. Faye sounds like an actress from a porn movie. :lol: I actually think Faye is the weakest of the originals - just veers too far towards stereotypical anime cutesiness - but I get where you're coming from. For me it's like the original Spike and Jet are doing Clint Eastwood and the dub actors are doing Bonanza. Each has its charms, but I far prefer the grounded, widescreen world-weary tone of the originals to the somewhat hammy, smallscreen sounding dubs. I realise plenty think differently though, and to be honest I'm just happy when anyone is a fan of Cowboy Bebop, no matter which cast they're hearing.

drawkcabi Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 All the episodes of "The Critic" (Jon Lovitz animated series) are up on You Tube. Almost done with season 1. Holy shit this show is the perfect television show equivalent of a fine wine, it really does keep getting better with age! I mean I liked it when it original aired but coming back to it now, it was just so brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Stay away from The Strain thread then. It's pretty much everyone hate watching. I try to bring some love there from time to time, but yeah, it's still pretty much overwhelmed by hate. For me it's like the original Spike and Jet are doing Clint Eastwood and the dub actors are doing Bonanza. Each has its charms, but I far prefer the grounded, widescreen world-weary tone of the originals to the somewhat hammy, smallscreen sounding dubs. Pretty good description. The French dub is even more grounded and Clint Eastwood than the original one, and that's why I like it even better than the original. I realise plenty think differently though, and to be honest I'm just happy when anyone is a fan of Cowboy Bebop, no matter which cast they're hearing We'll all agree on that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GallowKnight Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 In honor of Wes Craven I decided to Nightmare on Elm Street tonight, the best entry in the franchise and one of the greatest slasher movies ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jace, Extat Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Started watching Vikings for background noise as I played Madden, now I'm on episode 4 and I'm totally digging it. It's a bit underdeveloped, but Ragnok has some kind of ungodly Michael Pitt/Jake Gylenhaal thing going on that makes him unbelievably sexy. And I love that the Vikings are complete savages, there's no cheap attempt to redeem them or make them the good guys... so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
