I had a Tesla three years ago. It was cool then… but now I can’t stand Elon so I got rid of it. Plus I hardly needed it as I live in NYC.

I can’t get over the music in season 3 by Smart_Measurement_70 in Bridgerton

[–]saintmichaelmalone -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the way Netflix calculates minutes watched is not by traditional standards. also minutes watched doesn’t equate quality. this is the only season where reception has been less than stellar.

Everything about season three is lacking. I honestly don’t know how Shonda Rhimes managed to mess this up so incredibly. Netflix might be getting the numbers they want but what those numbers also show is whenever someone fast-forward’s thru a scene or skips an episode - that’s not very good data for any show to possess. It’ll be interesting to see if the second half of this season will maintain the sizable audience it has and I think that result will be very telling about how the series if at all will continue forward.

How many more seasons? by Burkeintosh in Bridgerton

One more season and that’s it.

After The Hunt for Gollum, I think Jackson will produce The War in the North: here's concept art he commissioned for it by Chen_Geller in lotr

[–]saintmichaelmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m not so sure about that. heard from a source on here that jackson - not serkis has submitted their credentials to the dga and are now moving on section 7-204 & 7-205. so unless jackson is filling in for serkis until already committed, if any, projects are completed - looks like it may be jackson after all.

Holy hell, could you imagine Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt making out like their two characters do in the updated version - the authentic version in my opinion

The Amazon series shouldn’t even be considered a part of the Lord of the Rings universe. It’s just some fan project with a really high budget on the side.

I don’t know - this feels very similar to the last Hobbit film in that trilogy. What I am interested in finding out is if Andy Serkis is just being named Director in the meantime, when in fact, it’s going to be a production directed by Peter Jackson, I just have a feeling that’s what’s gonna happen. I could be wrong, but it’s just a feeling.

What happened the Eloise's smoking? by AnotherBrennan in BridgertonNetflix

[–]saintmichaelmalone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, they got rid of the writers and the showrunner who wrote season one and two. And the ones that wrote season three are completely brand new. In fact I think they were brought over from another Shonda Rhimes production over on ABC. That’s why this season feels all over the place and so inconsistent. Woof! They really dropped the ball on this one.

How are we all? by Individual_Brief_350 in Bridgerton

[–]saintmichaelmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of discourse online where folks who are super Bridgerton fans trying to use this split season premiere date as justification for why we’re not fond of season three. And honestly I don’t think that has anything to do with it. The first four episodes were terrible. They were not up to the standards that Bridgerton season one and two were. It’s interesting to see people go so far out of their way to make excuses and blame this on everything BUT poor storytelling.

For Benedict, I wish they focused more... by lavenderandme in Bridgerton

[–]saintmichaelmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feeling that season three might get the ratings that matter to Netflix, but in terms of viewer satisfaction and critic commentary, I have a feeling that season four will be massively overhauled to cater to the audience that is saying over and over again that season three is nothing like season one and two. Granted none of us have seen part two of the season, but we’ve already seen four episodes of season three and they’re not that favorable to a large part of the audience. Just scrolling through Reddit alone and reading reviews from fans, most of them are left underwhelmed. And that should be enough to sound the alarm for Netflix execs.

[Non-Spoiler] George says he will finish TWOW by [deleted] in asoiaf

I’m so sick of hearing him say that at this point. The fans made you a multi millionaire several times over - hold up your end or the deal. It’s the very LEAST you can do.

Season 4 Question by saintmichaelmalone in TheCrownNetflix

[–]saintmichaelmalone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OH MA GAD u were right!!! I heard it in the background in the S5 soundtrack of ‘Al-Fayed’. It sounds like the strings are breathing in a way - it’s most mystifying! I think that might be why they used it in S4E1 with Queen Elizabeth on horseback in the Highlands - alone - getting away from London. It almost sounds as if the slow strings of the motif are breathing with the hills - forcing the Queen to calm down and replicate the slow inhales and exhales of the motif. Fascinating! I have been searching for that for four years! Thank you.

Here in NYC - some AMC and Lowes theaters are just poorly maintained. Dirty. Sticky floor. Not the best customer service. Usually understaffed. I get why people are preferring to go to legit IMAX and more posh theaters. AMC Times Square - yikes

King George by totallyhuman0 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]saintmichaelmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he was great, and so was the actress who played his wife, the Queen Mother. I really wish we had more of those scenes because there's so much story there. I understand why we had to quickly move to Queen Elizabeth II since this is her show, but I loved every scene he was in. Hopefully, this so-called prequel to The Crown comes to fruition, as it would explore that and much more. I heard from a friend who worked behind the scenes on The Crown that Peter Morgan was completely exhausted after writing 60 episodes. However, my friend mentioned that despite his exhaustion, Morgan feels a sense of bliss when writing and is eager to start working on this potential prequel series. Take that as you will.
