Loved the new series, thinking of picking up the book just to read whatever nuances were left out of the adaptation. Need more Yabushige in my life.

I thought Villeneuve's second part was such a boringly literal adaptation that I felt like I had seen the whole movie before I actually saw it. Lynch's adaptation was corny, butchered by its producers and misunderstood its source material, but nothing in Villeneuve's version gave me the chills...

You do you but I wouldn't ignore anyone outright over a single rating (if I did I would have no country on ignore over his 3/5 rating for Seven Samurai.) I don't think his rating of Red Dawn boils down to political hand-wringing either since his review mentions a bunch of other jingoistic...

Mega Colossus, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, Grozov, Savage Oath, Writhen Hilt, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (tangentially metal but too good not to mention)

Josh Lewis is great, very knowledgeable film critic that also champions a ton of underappreciated trashy genre movies. Discovered some good stuff through his letterboxd reviews and his podcast Sleazoids. Haven't seen Civil War, from the reviews I've read it sounds like it's mostly just a road...

It's worth continuing, s3 owns. ...Then they boot the original showrunner, retool the show into a Morgan spinoff, and the quality falls off a cliff.

I thought The Ones Who Live was rather bad personally. I will say that it was well-acted, cinematic and quite entertaining, but the writing was not good. The final three episodes were all bad in unique ways that tanked my final impression of the series:

Trad metal fans'll wanna hear this:

Don't have insta but I glanced at the thumbnails in her feed, absolutely stunning. Kim Higelin if anyone's wondering.

This random supporting actress from the Daryl Dixon spinoff of TWD.

Ending of this is fucking divine, most emotionally stirring heavy metal in years (decades?)

Ah sorry, I misread that you were done with S11. Edited out the spoilers.

Having now seen both parts of Villeneuve's adaption, I can honestly say I prefer the 1984 version.
