Andy Serkis' Mowgli movie was actually pretty good. His direction was a serious take on the themes of the original Kipling story, and acting-wise he was a book-accurate Baloo who's less derpy babysitter and more grizzled veteran mentor; and Christian Bale absolutely kills it as Bagheera. The scene with Mowgli begging Bagheera and the panther needing to give the kid a hard truth is some Oscar shit for real. The animal effects, particularly the design of the wolves being too alpha-and-omega, leave something to be desired, but the story and performances are my favorite Jungle Book adaptation

As a woman when it comes to sex scenes, I think its more the fact that a lot of modern media glorifies and/or shows SA as the easiest/cheapest way to give a woman an arch... Probably safe to say a lot of woman dont want to see SA on the screen (for obvious reasons) of either sex. Also, it seems to me characters on screen barely act human or like they have an ability to make human connections anymore, there's nothing to get invested in or care about so why would I care if they fuck or not? If a character is interesting and relatable then I'll care if they get a happy ending in and out of bed

I do agree that it's overused, kind of like family members/friends getting killed off in every Death Wish to give Charles Bronson some motivation. I'd like to see something where the protagonist is driven to take action without either they or their loved ones being assault/murdered, let the characters actually make a proactive moral choice rather than the continual "I just wanted to be left in peace, but now that they've done , I must stop them..."

Also, ironically, even something like good acting is not always the best fit for a movie. Look at Starship Troopers. It actually benefits significantly from bad acting. Good CGI vs bad CGI is only whether or not it effectively served its purpose. The level of detail/quality needed for the CGI to work varies considerably. Its only a problem when it stands out. If its bad quality technically but does its job and doesn't stand out then its not bad CGI. Similarly standards are always changing. Yesterday's good CGI is often today's bad CGI.

Friendship and real connection--- There is no sex in Lord of the Rings, but what is does have is characters who care about each other, so that fans care about the characters as well. I think the same can pretty much be said about the original Star Wars movies, if I remember right. I'm sure folks can think of movies and shows where there were sex scenes and the characters were also well-developed, but a lot of times that isn't the case. Instead of building relationships that are based on kindness, consideration and respect, very often a show will just show that a man and woman like each other and you can tell because now they are in bed together. And it's not just romances. In many shows, no respect is shown to men. They can't be strong, intelligent and dependable. No, they have to be idiots with the women around them emasculating them. Over and over, I hear the Critical Drinker say, "I just don't care about the characters." And why should he? They often don't care about each other, at least not in any meaningful way. And the disrespect even reaches past that with directors and producers destroying IPs and blaming fans for their failures. And the last terrible bit of icing on the cake is that the critique of Christopher Nolan is this: He makes excellent movies. They make a lot of money. But he's weak at interpersonal relationships.

Spot on with Ted Lesso, show HAD great potential

I was a bit the same with Fallout Will, I really liked it at first just because it was like opening a box of chocolates; it looked great and there was so much visually to take in I confess I only had a pretty superficial idea of the plot. It was one of those shows where you felt like it would all come together and make sense, but it didn't. I watched it through a second time and yeah, it's pretty stupid. It was the same for The Force Awakens - I liked it at first (Star Wars, woohoo!) but then after the excitement wore off and I start thinking about it, it got worse and worse.

The best Scotch drinking advice I got was by someone who said to try a couple each from the (sub)regions of Speyside, Highland, and Islay to narrow down the type of Scotch you like and then focus on those. That's how I found out that I mostly like Scotch from the subregion of Speyside (like Macallan), but I also like some Highland ones (like Glenmorangie). The first two seasons of Battlestar Galactica were great. After that it was not quite as good, with a lot of hit or miss episodes. The contrast in quality between it and contemporary big budget Sci Fi shows like "Space Hercules" (Andromeda) are shocking.

Watch it right here, on ABC!" I had to look it up to know the main character's name was Colt and that is was on ABC. I also remember my grandparents bough my young brother a cheap toy Fall Guy airplane from the liquidation bin of the toy store.

You'd think a more recent movie about Dunkirk would spend more time establishing what it was in the audience's mind because it happened so long ago, whereas in '58 it was relatively recent in public memory. Yet it's the opposite somehow.

She usually has a very pleasant and unproblamatic attitude. She doesn't make stupid statements like rachel zegler or lawrence and doesn't use her race/skin colour to gain brownie points. She rose to fame mainly through fashion. She is a dream celebrity for a lot of fashion houses. The kind of clothes she pulls of in public events seems almost impossible.

Yes Jonny Law. He deserves some drinker time ...

Glad Drinker can listen to Mauler do a Fallout video and still like something. I still enjoyed the show as well and hey anyone can critique it I still had fun with it and would watch it again sometime

Pretty much. Like I love the game Baldur's Gate 3, I can tear that game apart lol. But I still love it. Being able to acknowledge something's flaws AND its strengths takes alot more than simply tearing something apart. It's easy to tear something apart. It's hard to be balanced. When you only have a hammer everything looks like a nail, but when you have a full toolkit you have to use every tool at the proper time in the proper way.

Drinker: “As a reviewer…we’re only human.” Umm, is Mauler human? I always got that hyper logical, soulless, plot-hole murdering vibe from him, kinda like a T-1000. He’s could be the Reviewinator.

I understand wanting to keep ones private life private but why does Drinker lie and pretend he isn't married with children?

Did drinker say "minging"? Am now wondering what drinker thinks of calypso lemonde ITS FUCKING MINGING!

They don't need to remake Forest Gump..... they should make a movie about what Forest Gump was based around...... That being the U.S. Army's program to take mentally deficient people and training them to fight in Vietnam....... from testimonials of other soldiers, it's pretty horrific.

I think good fantasy authors like Brandon Sanderson and Jim Butcher don’t want to see the stories they’ve created bastardized in TV and film, and they’re waiting for the era of politics before storytelling to be over before they push for their stories to be adapted.

I was last! :-)

Diana Rigg, you heretics!!!

Drinker, Hayley Atwell's character in The Pillars of the Earth appears to have a nude scene, but it's probably a body double. Certain types of websites (ahem) appear to show a full frontal shot from this scene, but on closer evaluation, it looks like an AI-generated fake.

Don't take away my hope!

I’m very surprised that Drinker liked Ted Lasso. It’s an idealist’s wet dream where all areas of conflict can just be easily solved with a pat on the back and a sunny disposition. Even in the first season I was rolling my eyes at everything that was coming out of Ted’s mouth. It’s so void of any meaningful approach to problem solving that it’s positivity starts to feel hollow, unrealistic, and annoying.

I'm a little tired of sex scenes in media tbh. Some shows it's like they just want to have a mini porno scene, kind of degrades the quality.

BSG was amazing - the first 3 seasons. Then the writersstrike happened and season 4 was a bit of a letdown

What is TLJ?

@@jjforcebreaker Thank you.

"didn't like the BSG ending". lol, which one? The last episode had like 5 endings in it. None were great, but some were worse than others.

Sanderson wants total control over any adaptation of his work, especially after the latest seasons of GoT, then WoT, then RoP..and Hollywood consider authors like a nuisance. Very few authors ever got control, S.King, sometimes, JK Rowling, on some of the movies. But all that said, Sanderson is nowhere near to a Tolkien. He's actually rather far from that sort of talent/genius.

I think Florence is really hot. Beautiful face and curves
