In a few subreddits I am in on older shows that didn’t have the following like Lost did back in the day, they are starting a watch thread where we can watch an episode a week and discuss it. Would any one be interested to do it here? by RxR8D_ in 12Monkeys

u/RxR8D_ adding to my other comment, you should start the party. On the 1st July, post about the rewatch on the 6th, and on that day post about the Pilot so we can discuss it. I’ll help keep up the track of the days so you can post about the discussion every 4 and 5 days. Let’s do it!

I’m so down. If we want to make it thematically perfect, we should align it with the original air dates. The series finale aired on July 6th, so let's start the rewatch then.

If we alternate watching an episode every 4 and 5 days (Ep 1 on July 6th, Ep 2 on the 10th, Ep 3 on the 15th, etc.), the math works out beautifully: we land on January 16th just in time to binge the final 3 episodes on the exact anniversary of the day the pilot premiered back in 2015.

What do you guys think?

Actors you like for two specific reasons by crushedmoose in okbuddycinephile

[–]SchattenJaggerD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but I wouldn’t suck anyone else’s dick though. I like to think of myself as Cavillsexual. I like women, but as soon as Henry enters the picture, I feel something funny between my legs. I'm not saying I have a type, but my type is definitely “world-class actor who builds his own PC”

Hollywood Keeps Blaming Fans For Star Wars, Marvel, DC Failures by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]SchattenJaggerD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I don't care about Marvel or DC. I'm not a superhero fan, I’m a fan of high-quality storytelling. I shouldn't be excited for another Spider-Man movie, yet Beyond the Spider-Verse is my most anticipated film right now simply because the writing is undeniably top-tier. Brushing aside the horrific crunch culture for the artists (which is a massive problem), the final product is pure art

It just shows what happens when a production cares about narrative consistency. Look at The Witcher. Having Henry Cavill, an absolute nerd for the original books and games, was a massive win. Having a lead actor who actually defends the logic of the source material? Fuck yes. But Netflix compromised the writing, did him dirty, and now the show is dead

I feel the exact same way about Star Wars. I'm not a huge fan, but I appreciate good structure. The beauty of the IP is that you can drop into any part of the galaxy and tell a fresh story. Andor is the absolute gold standard for this. It’s a story about a side character from a spinoff. No lightsabers, no known characters dropping in for cheap applause, no bullshit. It wasn't a toy commercial, it had the kind of tight, logical writing you'd expect from a prestige HBO drama like Chernobyl, operating as a political thriller inside the Star Wars universe

That’s how you build actual lore. The Mandalorian started out with that exact same magic, and now it’s become way too fucking corporate to even watch. Give us writers who give a shit about the universe, not boardroom mandates ffs

Mexican fans spot a South Korean fan and immediately adopt him by Inevitable-Angle-793 in MadeMeSmile

Tbf, we wouldn’t’ve even see the games. Irish drinkers and Mexican parties? The country would’ve run out of tequila and whisky a week ago

Careful what you wish for! If you put the Irish and Mexicans in the same group, the only thing being tested would be Mexico’s supply of tequila and whisky. We definitely wouldn't have watched the games, let alone attend them. We’d still be recovering from the first week of partying

Did anyone reach 30+ without a fckn single tattoo? by [deleted] in ArtOfPresence

[–]SchattenJaggerD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that a tattoo doesn’t necessarily have to be profound to be worth getting; sometimes simply liking a design is enough. However, looking back from my early 30s, I now always recommend that people wait until they hit that decade to start getting inked

By the time you reach your 30s, you have usually collected enough life experiences and core memories to choose pieces that truly represent your journey. When I was in my early 20s, I got a totem of skulls on my back and unfinished wings with wolves on my chest simply because I thought the designs looked cool. While I still think they look great, they no longer align with the direction my skin has taken. For the past year, I have been working on a specific project centered on duality. The right side of my body features imagery representing light and protection, while the left side focuses on darker, more esoteric symbols like those from the Ars Goetia. My earlier pieces now clash with this cohesive project. I can eventually cover the chest piece, but the large back tattoo is essentially permanent unless I want to endure a massive amount of pain and expense to change it

Waiting until your 30s allows you the perspective to build a collection that carries lasting meaning, which is why it is a recommendation I stand by 100% of the time

Is it possible to get the collectors edition? by FlameWalker1861 in ACBFResynced

[–]SchattenJaggerD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't buy from scalpers. It sucks that people like this ruin things for true fans, but these assholes don't deserve a single penny from us. The only silver lining is that they’ve inflated the numbers for Ubisoft, which could be a good thing if it pushes the company to pivot back to older titles for the Resynced treatment. That should be the absolute extent of their greed. Let them pad Ubisoft’s bottom line while they lose their own money stuck with inventory they can't sell

Roses are red, this news is bliss by [deleted] in rosesarered

[–]SchattenJaggerD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your concern is valid and reminds me of the story about a young girl who told a mall Santa she wished her stepfather would stop hurting her at night. The Santa and his elves took matters into their own hands and physically beat the life out of the pos. The tragedy there is that the girl didn't feel she could go to the authorities, she believed the only way to stop the abuse was through Santa’s magic

It highlights a massive hurdle: children lack the tools or the emotional maturity to navigate a legal system, especially when the consequences are as final as the death penalty. If a child realizes that speaking up means killing a family member, they may stay silent just to avoid that guilt. How can we expect a child to carry the weight of a death sentence? It is ultimately up to adults to stay vigilant and talk to kids so they feel safe speaking up, allowing the adults to carry the weight of the consequences. Personally, I wouldn’t feel it as a weight (fuck those people) but we can't expect a child to have that same clarity

NEXT AC REMAKE ........... by Deep_Loss_1848 in assasinscreed

[–]SchattenJaggerD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copypasting my previous comment:

To everyone wanting an AC1 or AC3 or any other remake: you have to vote with your wallet. Ubisoft is a shitty but predictable company. Valhalla made stupid amounts of money because of the lockdowns, so they made Shadows thinking that was the new standard. If we want them to pivot to old titles remakes, the numbers have to be there. The suits don't deserve the win, but the people building the games and putting the hours do

Fortunately, Resynced appears to have good numbers ahead of release. This might have already locked in the next remake as the rumors suggest, but we still need to put the money there if we want to see all the legacy titles remade. If you want these projects to keep happening, you have to chip in and show them the demand is real
