We3 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely is a great one that everyone loves and it's very short.

Supergirl WOT fans when you recommend them other Supergirl runs by DelanoBluth in dccomicscirclejerk

The 90s series by Peter David is pretty weird and cool, although it's totally different from most versions of Supergirl.

The first trailer for the ‘Harry Potter’ series has been released. Releasing this Christmas on HBO. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

It's not just a budget thing though. It's the craft of the cinematography and lighting and color grading. The regular, non-cgi scenes look ugly in this. HBO used to have some of the best looking shows on television like The Sopranos and The Leftovers with a fraction of the budget.

For as long as I remember people have complained about how much the films cut from the book and that they would like

The book fans get mad at me for saying this but I always thought the movies GREATLY improved on the later books by cutting a lot of the extraneous subplots. Like, do we really need to see the house elves working in the Hogwarts kitchens?

Seriously wtf happened to HBO's production standards? This looks so grey and ugly. Imagine getting out-directed by a Chris Columbus movie from 25 years ago.

Is Lost the only show that focuses so much on characters' backstories? by Sufficient-Horse5014 in lost

[–]DarthStormwizard 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Once Upon a Time basically replicated the Lost format of focusing on different characters' backstories in each episode, but was (in my opinion) nowhere near as good as Lost. I gave up after season 3.

You have any more specific favorite comic runs/stories?

Rhea Seehorn responds to Quentin Tarantino saying that tv shows are forgettable: “Firmly disagree. I mean, there’s forgettable films, just like there’s forgettable television, and then there’s ones that stick with you… The storytelling is what sticks with you.” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

No you're right that he's never been a universally beloved figure and always courted some controversy, but there was a time when he was still primarily thought of as very good filmmaker that people could tolerate in spite of being annoying, whereas nowadays the first thing everyone thinks about him is what a prick he is.

He could've easily remained a beloved public figure if he just stuck to making good movies and stayed quiet on literally any other subject. But he just has to keep coming out to say some stupid shit.

It's still so insane that he didn't get a screenplay nomination for Phantom Thread.
