Not just another pretentious PBS travelogue

Did not know that, but it works for me.
There are not too many charcters who could get away with it, and that’s probably a good thing.

I will open by saying I think Top Gun is a steaming turd of a movie, but for one brief shining moment (around the 13-minute mark), TG: Maverick created an homage to Tarantino that is…

Anybody seen this yet? My friend very enthusiastically recommended it.
I’m only one episode in and it’s smart, fun and funny.

Kinda thrilling to watch a Welsh language folk horror film in the cinema with some quite disturbing imagery, i was also interested to note how Scandinavian it looks. Loosely adapted from the Mabinogion which is some of the oldest prose.
Does it have the impact of Get Out and Us? Nope. Did i enjoy it immensely? Yup. I haven’t seen abduction scenes this scary since Fire in the Sky. Though i may have felt the most excitement seeing a direct reference to the Akira motorcycle slide.

anyone want to share a thought on House of the Dragon?
Matt Smith? Dragons? horrible wigs?
has all the trappings of GoT, but why did it feel… less than?

That’s Mabinogion, with a B 
Neat that it’s a feast, I first heard of those tales from The Owl Service, which was owls on plates and not like a magical mail service…
Thanks, I might check that out.

We finished it last night. Such a great show. Loved how it wasn’t a remake but told stories that deserved to be shared.

I’m liking how it is warm even though most of the subject matter is serious or hard. It has a lot of heart.

Just started this! Excellent so far. The relative lack of FX doesn’t bother me.
ETA I should say I didn’t read the book(s), so maybe my expectations are lower WRT the FX.

Wait – the Alfie Solomons character was trans?
Oh, sorry, I can see how I wasn’t very clear!
I was responding to @anon59592690’s post:
It is really nice to have a realistic trans character at last, a whole real-ass human with feelings and flaws and agency.
And it reminded me that Alfie Solomons was also a fully fleshed-out character – " a whole real-ass human with feelings and flaws and agency" – as opposed to the usual stereotype we see so often for the one Jewish character in a story.

I loved it! My husband, who isn’t as enamored with WWDITS as I am, actually laughed hard. (The narrator was spot on, too.)
