OK, since two of you mentioned Shogun, I’ll be checking it out. Just grabbed the first two on demand.

I'll check it out! Shogun only has 2 episodes.

Dune part 2 was very good. I really enjoyed it.

Want to see Dune 2! Looks awesome…. Loved the original, liked the remake and hear nothing but outstanding stuff on Dune 2.

Just me or does the pirate/john on Shogun remind you of Tom Hardy?
Speaking of Tom Hardy…. Another amazing show is Peaky Binders.

I started For All Mankind…I’m about 6 episodes in. Also watching Shogun and the live action Avatar series
Re: TV Shows / Movies
My boys hated the Avatar series for a bunch of reasons, like they changed the story, had to take things out and the casting wasn't great, in their opinion. They were big fans of the original series though.

Re: TV Shows / Movies
Interesting…I’ve enjoyed it so far…the story hasn’t been exactly chronological but it doesn’t seem like it’s been too far off the animated series. But I also don’t mind when reboots take a different slant. I don’t want to watch a shot for shot remake. I think the casting has been pretty good.
Maybe the changes they made haven’t happened for me yet. Did they say who’s casting they didn’t like?

Re: TV Shows / Movies
I agree, and can suspend whatever feelings and beliefs in the past animated version to just enjoy the live action version. I enjoyed it overall.Split T wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 1:21 pmInteresting…I’ve enjoyed it so far…the story hasn’t been exactly chronological but it doesn’t seem like it’s been too far off the animated series.

Re: TV Shows / Movies
I've been meaning to talk about suspension of disbelief. Carey's post about True Detective: Night Country and the link he provided where they nit picked it to death spurred this thought on. I mean it was incredible nit pickery like I've never seen before. Not sure how you can enjoy much of anything at that level.In2ition wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 3:17 pmI agree, and can suspend whatever feelings and beliefs in the past animated version to just enjoy the live action version.

I personally have a great ability to suspend disbelief and I think that helps me to enjoy a variety of fiction a lot more. I actually think it is a good skill to possess to enjoy most fiction. Otherwise, you can almost always find faults and question behaviors and actions which you don't think make logical sense or you don't think matches the character's MO. Night Country for example was purposely ambiguous about spiritual versus actual goings on and you could interpret it both ways or maybe even a little of each.

Ya I’ve never had a problem with stories changing…or characters being different. Not sure why.

Re: TV Shows / Movies
Watched the first 3 episodes of Shogun. Looking forward to episode 4. It's very well done and highly entertaining.

Re: TV Shows / Movies
I still haven't finished the first episode. I keep falling asleep. Not a good start for me.

Take off the Hokas gramps.
Re: TV Shows / Movies
OK, Millenial/GenX or whatever you are. You can't hold that against me forever, Mr. Ultralight.
Point is, it's a very slow start. I sure hope it picks up steam.

I’m a Boomer but also by the skin of my teeth the other way, 2 years from start of GenX. I had to prove it to acquire my Hokas. My scale says I’m 4 years younger metabolically.TOO wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 6:29 pmGenX by the skin of my teeth.
