What television shows are you watching?

[Arakhor]

James Purefoy has a brief full frontal nudity scene in Rome as well. It seems to be his thing.

Imo nudity is rarely there in movies due to actual reason. Mostly you see some hot girl/woman, eg Nicole Kidman was nude again in that Sacred Deer film by Lanthimos Overhypedopoulos

Yet even when it serves a point (eg in Bronson) it still doesn't achieve much, imo; just shows the actor means business, but doesn't add to the film in my view.

PS: Kidman is very hot

And was his thing up to the part?

 

[civvver]

I forgot he was in rome, but like everyone was naked in that show as well. Man that was a long time ago, he was a lot younger.

I don't think they've gone more than 5 minutes between scenes of gratuitous female nudity or gore porn so far. I'm five episodes in.

They're really ham-fisted about it too. Only attractive ladies are nude, and they're always nude. No male nudity, no unattractive nudity. Just hot babes.

There is male nudity. A few people hang dong.

So I started Altered Carbon after hearing about it so damn much from this thread and it is very good indeed. You did not steer me wrong, CFC.

 

[Synobun]

Olympus.

What?

 

[yung.carl.jung]

people that live forever have nothing else to do but have sex I guess.

maybe that's because i'm young and all, but I can think of a lot of things I'd want to do if I lived forever. I've got the next 250 years roughly sketched out

I watched the first ep of season 2 of The Expanse. Not a lot happened plot-wise, but it's been so long since I watched season 1 that I kind of needed the reintroduction to the characters. It seems like they may have nailed the casting of Bobbie (give her a few years, and I could see that actress playing Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk in a Marvel movie).

 

[Synobun]

Olympus.

What?

12ish hours later and this is still the bulk of my opinion. Such a weird show. Its pacing is atrocious and the story is... not good. But it was trashy to the point that you wanted to watch it. That said, I wouldn't recommend the show.

It only had one season a few years ago before being cancelled. I can see why.

@Kyriakos, have you seen this? I think this would be a show that you could understandably rage about here on CFC. I'm tempted to myself!

I finally began Black Mirror after spending years hearing from people about how trippy and uncomfortable it is. The first episode was hilarious, the second was predictable. Definitely not living up to the hype that was shared with me by friends and strangers, but it might be a decent comedy. We'll see how it goes. The first season is only three episodes long... perhaps there is a drastic shift in tone/execution after that.

 

[Kyriakos]

No, i haven't. I think someone mentioned it very negative once, in TWC, and i sort of forgot all about it.

I've heard that there's yet another expansion of World of Warcraft coming out in September. Do you think you could outlive them?

 

[Synobun]

That's likely for the best. I spoil it in its entirety below.

Spoiler :

It's a show about Hero having the key to Olympus inside of him. He travels the land with the Oracle and Daedalus, father of Icarus, to unlock its secrets. I think maybe two weeks pass in the show but the main characters fall in love with multiple people in that span. The Gods are really aliens who use Earth as a battlefield. Zeus is a snake that turns into the Abrahamic God. Someone shows Daedalus a Boeing 747. Hero and the Oracle are hereby titled Adam and Eve for eating the forbidden golden apple.

 

[Arakhor]

@Synsensa: What??

 

[Synobun]

@Synsensa: What??

Yeah...

I... I don't know why this show existed.

Somehow it's rated well on Rotten Tomatoes (88%!), further reinforcing my belief that audiences are terrible and I'm perfect.

ironically enough I have actually planned to pick up WoW again when I'm a hundred years old. I had some great times with that game.

This exactly.

Also... even though the stories are seemingly about extremely different topics...

Spoiler Not technically a spoiler, but gives away something meta about the show :

, as you watch the show you start seeing that they are all somewhat connected, with each one building on or drawing from the ones that came before it.

 

[Kyriakos]

Looks... meh

 

[hobbsyoyo]

The relaunch of Queer Eye on Netflix is really entertaining background fodder.

 

[cardgame]

I have an increasingly frustrating but utterly minor bone to pick with Altered Carbon.

The MC's surname is Kovacs. Unless my mind is playing tricks on me, he himself pronounces it as cove-axe. Meanwhile, Kristin Ortega pronounces it as cove atch (as in hatch). Is anyone else noticing this?!
