Great episode! I appreciate this series immensely. Here’s another good example of where talented videography and production get it together and roll out another classic. Stupendous. Check out the beautiful collage at 00:31:52.

BladesofTroy 1 points 25 days ago.

Yeah I loved this series when it came out. It did not deserve to be cancelled after one season.

BladesofTroy 2 points 7 months ago.

Yeah he announced years ago that he was quitting after his tenth film. While it had occasionally been casually discussed with Uma there were never any serious plans to make a third part. Would I love to see one? Yeah sure but it was never a realistic prospect.

Trailer looks cool bill Murray should be in this to it has a The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou feel to it

It’s almost as if the same person made both films…

Not going to happen he is retiring. Said he was stopping after 10 movies.

It’s one thing to boycott a company and never buy their product again, but destroying stuff that you obviously like, you paid good money for it, has got to be the stupidest form of protest.

BladesofTroy 3 points 11 months ago.

TBF it’s not a protest. It’s a temper tantrum.

The Last of Us (2023) S1 E5

Ah. Way it was described was a fungus, yes, that was mutated from covid, or at least the people that I know that were talking about it. Could well be that they were mistaken in that. Some of them are known for talking a bit as they watch, so could be they missed something, or maybe read that into it?

I myself never bothered with a mask or ever changed anything I did any more then I actually had to, I always figured that when my time came, it would come, and not until then. Nothing can stop it when it does. I do feel bad for all of the people that were separated from family and friends and such when they got sick and were in the hospital though, and weren’t allowed to see them or spend time with them, even or especially at the end.

I always thought that that was very cruel and unnecessary. I have since then lost all respect for the medical profession, as it seems to me they have no empathy at all for the patients in their care or their families.

BladesofTroy 5 points 1 year ago.

It’s a form of the cordyceps fungi family that infect and puppet their human hosts. This fungus in real life cannot infect humans but does infect insects such as moths and ants and affects their behaviour. Absolutely not a virus, nothing to do with covid. It spread by spores in the bites of infected humans and in the area of some sites where lots of infected have become immobile and some infected types can launch spore bombs in the game.

The Last of Us (2023) S1 E3
biker_71 -4 points 1 year ago.

i know nothing about the game or the story in general but this felt like nothing more than pointless pandering filler.

BladesofTroy 7 points 1 year ago.

Nope. Those characters are in the game and while it’s not directly said that they’re in a relationship when Ellie is looking around their house, in the game, she finds a gay porn mag with pages stuck together. Draw your own conclusions about that. It honestly sounds like it really bothers you that some people not traditionally given a place in popular media are being represented. this would suggest that it’s more about you than the show/episode.

The Last of Us (2023) S1 E3
Mandalorian 0 points 1 year ago.

It was until last episode.

BladesofTroy 4 points 1 year ago*.

Im assuming you havent played the game. If you did you would have expected Anna Torv’s character to die when she did. Your apparent anger at a actor playing a gay character, again heavily implied in the game, is very telling. Im a very straight guy and that episode was beautiful. Methinks the lady doth protest overmuch.

The English (2022) S1 E1

This flew under my radar but I like it a lot. Extremely high production values. Will be binging the rest of the season today.

Just watched the first episode and Im seriously hooked. This flew right under my radar but it’s fantastic. Cant wait for the next few. Get on this now!

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

This is fantastic. Watch it. Watch it now!

Halo (2022)
motion333 1 points 1 year ago.

They butchered the theme/soundtrack, why does Chief keep taking off his helmet? and noone cares about Kwan, she needs to go die ASAP. Otherwise, it’s decent… needs lots more fighting and battle scenes.

BladesofTroy 6 points 1 year ago.

OK so on the helmet thing. First the reason master chief had a helmet on the whole time is that faces were really hard to do well when the first game came out. It was much easier to have a simple helmet. There’s nothing in the games that suggests he doesn’t or cannot take the helmet off. Thirdly this is a series and not the game. They’re trying to reach a different and larger audiences who have no connection to the game and who would most likely prefer to see the actor’s face. Since it’s a different medium than games they can and will take artistic licence. Look at the Resident Evil movies and how far they went from game cannon. Now Im sure you’ll want to bring up The Mandolorian but there we have the canon reason why he keeps the helmet on.

MARS RED (2021)
Shade_Chylde 0 points 2 years ago.

I don’t watch Anime, but being an Aries, I had to check it out based on the name. I’m still trying to figure out what Mars has to do with ANY of this, but I’m only 3 episodes in… So far it’s VERY misleading, and also extremely slow…

BladesofTroy 4 points 2 years ago.

That’s a really weird way to choose what to watch. As for misleading….astrology.

The series Rome (2005) https://www.primewire.li/tv/13086-watch-rome is worth watching before you see this.

BladesofTroy 3 points 2 years ago.

Agreed Rome was a masterpiece.

Altered Carbon (2018)

BladesofTroy 2 points 2 years ago.

No definitely canceled. Netflix announced on August 26th last year that they were cancelling the show. I’ve not seen nor can I find anything related to a season 3. There’s no good reason for them to do it. The viewer figures for season 1 were ok but season 2 suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked and the figures dropped a lot. With a downward trajectory and high production costs it doesnt make any financial sense to continue to make it.

Ancient Aliens (2009)
BladesofTroy 0 points 2 years ago.

Ancient Aliens explores how humans have never done a thing in our existence. It was all aliens.Stonehenge, Pyramids, The nuclear bomb,Your cars dodgy starter motor etc. The show wasnt even made by the History Channel it was, in fact, made by aliens.

I appreciate the feedback guys, gonna check out Mistborn and First Law Trilogy! I like the premise of what you described for Mistborn, i don’t mind a little Dark Fantasy where the good guys don’t always win lol. Cheers gents! Thanks!

BladesofTroy 6 points 2 years ago.

You should also have a look at The Elenium and The Tamuli. Two sequential trilogies by David Eddings.

The Wheel of Time (2021)
SkidMarx 3 points 2 years ago.

Mistborn is absolutely not affiliated with Jordan or The Wheel of Time in ant way shape or form. Mistborn is quite literally the worst trilogy of books I’ve ever read. If youre looking for a great fantasy series, look nor further than Joe Abercrombie’s First Law trilogy. If any fantasy series should be adapted to film its this series.

BladesofTroy 4 points 2 years ago.

YES!!! Bring me the Bloody Nine!!!!!

The Wheel of Time (2021)
Canuckian 3 points 2 years ago.

ya i hear you man :) Re. The Mistborn series you mentioned, i have never heard of it. If i understood you correctly, are you saying that it is based in the WoT universe where the bad guys won instead of the good guys? Its based on the same world and characters? I am most curious now because i have been looking for a new fantasy series to dig my teeth into and its difficult to find GOOD High Fantasy writers and a good story..i just finished The Sword of Truth series and it was amazing!

BladesofTroy 3 points 2 years ago.

No not really. Different world different characters but the premise of what would a world look like where the BBEG had already won and the world was a horrible drudge and all served him sort of thing.

The Wheel of Time (2021)
Canuckian 3 points 2 years ago.

Really? I thought that Sanderson was masterful in utilizing Jordans style and his own..I barely noticed tbh..at least, nothing that took away from the story or how I percieved it as I read. I guess its all in the eye of the beholder ;) Cheers man

BladesofTroy 4 points 2 years ago.

Well I mean he already writes in a somewhat Jordan style, The Mistborn series being a sort of darkest timeline where He Who Shall Not Be Named won. But yes there were times, and dont ask me specifics it’s been a few years, that it was noticeable that it was not Jordan writing. That’s just me though. And it is neither bad nor good. Just a thing that is.

The Wheel of Time (2021)
nursepip 7 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

well, by nature screen adaptations will be different than the book reading experience. If one remembers that to start with they may not be so mad at the end of the movie. That said, this saga has GOT potential, in story, violence, torture, you name it.
Made me wish I had a nice Aes Sedai for a bodyguard…

I named my swordsmithing business Ravenmark Blades in homage to the heron mark blades in the books. Raven rather than heron because of a tattoo I have.

Trent 3 points 2 years ago.

I noticed the style change in the writing. Thanks for explaining what happened.

BladesofTroy 4 points 2 years ago*.

He was diagnosed with Amyloidosis but was undergoing treatment. Knowing he might die before the books were finished he spent the first year after diagnosis telling different close friends and family parts of the rest of the story in detail so that it could be pieced back together and finished in a JRR Tolkien Christopher Tolkien way by someone else. He promised the fans that no matter what the books would be finished and the way he wanted the story to end. I think Sanderson did an admirable job given the difficulties of trying to emulate someone else’s writing.

Fantastic. They clearly spent a few bob on the animation. Really looking forward to the rest of the series.

The Equalizer (2021)
BladesofTroy 3 points 2 years ago.

The negative reviews put me off watching this but tv is a bit quiet at the moment so I gave it a go yesterday. So it’s not like the movie. So it’s a little cheesey at times but entertaining nonetheless and worth checking out.

Jupiter's Legacy (2021)
BladesofTroy 1 points 2 years ago.

Big comic book fan with no real allegiance to any particular publisher. This was shite. I couldnt make it past 4 episodes. The production quality was terrible. Looks like they got a bunch of cosplayers and put them on screen. The acting is about on par for a cosplayer too. The writing is awful. The characters are completely unlikable and the story is painfully dull.

Finally it’s back. Good episode yet, Alan Cummings bugged me with his over the top acting and Zeta Jones, I just can’t watch her and not think of how much horrible plastic surgery has transformed her. Why these people do this instead of just age gracefully and naturally is still a puzzle though I’ve known many.

When daddy was so close to Cummings, I was hoping he’d tear into him like a hungry bear yet, things have to play out. And that ending…we knew something along those lines were coming. It will be interesting seeing where it goes.

Welcome back Prodigal Son, don’t be away so long, again.

BladesofTroy 1 points 2 years ago.

Catherine Zeta Jones is completely unrecognizable to the point I almost went on a rant about how she isnt in the show . Alan Cumming’s acting was over the top but that was deliberate. The character he was playing was over the top. Loves the limelight and adulation so I think it was a deliberate choice.

BladesofTroy 3 points 3 years ago.

Well I put it off due to mixed reviews and not having a 4 hour window to watch but got round to it last night. Simply put fantastic. Major improvement on the theatrical release Far more depth and character work. You can see why Ray Fisher was so pissed at WB for how much the original cut of his work. I didnt think I’d be saying this but I hope they let Zack do a sequel. It’s well deserved. If you were on the fence about this jump right in bud.

Superman & Lois (2021)
greyfur 1 points 3 years ago.

Ooohhhh….! Doubt they will go that dark, however….they might go with something like the brother that has powers being a bit batshit, and having daddy issues winding up on Luthor’s side. Might wind up dead eventually. Other son might wind up with powers of his own and be the one that takes him out, trying to save one of the rents. Just a thought.

BladesofTroy 4 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

No but Im guessing that “the guy in the suit” is from another Earth probably the Mortal Kombat Injustice storyline Earth.

Superman & Lois (2021)
BladesofTroy 4 points 3 years ago.

I had very little interest in or hope for this show. Give how Superman has been treated as a character by the CW and the whole family dynamic thing. I watched a review by someone who’s opinion I generally trust and I have to say Im surprised very pleasantly surprised at how good it is. The production level and the writing are all quite good. Im just about to watch the third episode and really looking forward to it. If you were on the fence about watching this or like me had no interest give it a go. You might find yourself liking it.
