I just saw a totem pole full of severed limbs and torsos heads. Did NBC show this really late at night or what? It’s America. Blood and gore are fine. Nudity and profanity are not.

I watched vids of some cutscenes afterwards so I would know about this great story people kept talking about, but that's not enough for me. Yeah I’m capable of reading lol. Just saying you were missing out on completing a great game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-waatched Silence of the Lambs recently. It's remarkable to me how much it didn't show. There was still some pretty strong stuff in there, but it was never on the screen for long. What they were able to do so brilliantly is give you a glimpse and let your mind fill in the rest. Sometimes it wasn't even a glimpse. e.g. Chilton preparing Starling for her meeting with Lecter. The books are great BTW. I'm not big on crime or horror novels but I really enjoyed the first three books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunFalconryFacts Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Good idea for a thread - this could be fun! Alright, here we go, in no particular order - I like M Night Shyamalan's films. Tom Bombadil is one of my favourite characters in The Lord of the Rings - love him! Friends was unfunny formulaic rubbish (perhaps that's not a minority opinion really!). There is nothing pleasant about having a lie-in. As soon as I'm awake, I want to get up! James Bond was best when he was silly and funny. Fast-cut editing and shaky cam have rendered modern films and TV virtually unwatchable. And the big one that really makes me feel out of step with the rest of humanity - hot weather is horrible and uncomfortable. Roll on winter!

I have seen a lot of opinions on this thread that baffle me but this one takes the cake. And the scones, mini quiches, crustless sandwiches, and quaint little tea stand that makes the afternoon tea so adorable. Erm, what was I saying? Oh yeah, Riverdale was appalling and not just because of it’s vapid inanity but also because of it’s downright insulting portrayal of (attempted) suicide. That really ground my gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like something I'd have to pay for, and then yeah, feel disappointed after. 1 hour ago, FunFalconryFacts said: hot weather is horrible and uncomfortable. Roll on winter! Lived in Orlando for 8 years. This isn't so much an opinion as fact. As for "Riverdale," I did not know it was apparently a show of some sort, but it sounds like some type of serendipitous meeting point between LOTR and GOT.

FunFalconryFacts Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 And here's one that's probably going to be unpopular among sci-fi fans, but, in the spirit of the thread - The first two books of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy were glorious and brilliant, but the later ones often felt as if he was just churning them out to a formula. Sorry, sorry, sorry! I will go and hide now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last definitive cut of Blade Runner is better than Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. The American Gods TV adaptation is better than the book.

Theda Baratheon Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I think Blade Runner is AS GOOD as Do Androids. I think they're hard to compare to be honest because Blade Runner is just so much more vast, Do Androids seems a lot smaller, a lot more claustrophobic.

Spring Bass Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 5 hours ago, FunFalconryFacts said: I like M Night Shyamalan's films. Put me in that camp as well. Not all of them - I didn't care much for the Sixth Sense or his more recent 2-3 films - but Unbreakable, Signs, The Village, Lady in the Water, Devil? I enjoyed the hell out of all of them (Devil especially). Bombadil was fine on my most recent read-through of Fellowship of the Rings. His whole bit comes as a nice relief for the characters (and the reader) after a ton of more tense parts with them scrambling into the Old Forest.
