I’m liking it. My wife listens to the audiobooks and is filling me in but it’s based on the DC universe which I doubt WB let’s any of the characters show up on Netflix.
Yeah, they've had to alter some stuff, but they're doing a good job with it. Don't want to give away anything but a certain character resides in a mental hospital that in the books is Arkham.
I tried to buy the graphic novel but they’re sold in volumes and I couldn’t figure out which ones to get. I know the audiobook has an A list cast but I can’t ever get into them.
You should try your local library. That's how I was able to find them easily. The order: Preludes and Nocturnes The Doll's House Dream Country Season of Mists A Game of You Fables and Reflections The Brief Lives Worlds' End The Kindly Ones The Wake The Dream Hunters Endless Nights Overture
I started on them intermittently reading about a month ago and I'm most of the way done with Fables and Reflections. Really enjoying the books and the series, so far. Finished the first three episodes this afternoon.
Sea Beasts is great. Pretty sure I’ve mentioned it itt, but our kid loves it and it’s one of those kids movies that isn’t just terrible to watch.
Uncharted was just not good at all. Wahlberg talked like he was doing Andy Sandberg’s impression of him.
Holy shit! They are being SUPER faithful to Sandman. 24/7 was an incredible episode…very, very much like the book. Loving it
How the fuck is Megan Good 41? Also day shift was both stupid but enough fun to easily watch all the way through.
Enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes you forget how fucking angry teens were in the late 90s and early 2000s. So much fucking angst my god.
Not really but have mutual friends and have hung out with her a couple times. But one of my good friends runs comedy nights out here so I meet a lot of comedians.
I despise nu metal and all that came with it. I’m also old enough to have lived through the rise and fall. I watch the Korn Woodstock opening a few times per year and get goosebumps every time. Watching 100k+ people react in waves to that dumbass band is crazy. The energy must have been otherworldly.
The Nice Guys...not a new movie but new to Netflix. Some legitimately hilarious scenes. Def recommend.
I like that most in the doc blamed the corporatist capitalist money grab that it was. There was nothing fundamentally wrong with a generation of kids. You treated them like animals. What did you expect to happen? Also fuck that curly headed guy acting above it all doing that interview in his mansion
That’s how I explained it to my brother. Just watch it for a comedy/action vampire movie. It’s not bad for what it is.
I don’t disagree generally but there was something a little different about that generation. I remember it being a lot more angry, hateful, judgmental, and shitty than kids are today. Most of those people have turned into compassionate adults I think based on political leanings but my god. I remember so many fights and homophobia and really shitting on anything outside the norm in middle and high school. Was true irl and in media if you watch stuff from the time. Lot of it hasn’t aged well. But it was mostly them being treated like animals in the name of capitalism yeah. But our generation wasn’t like the flower children to begin with either. Funnily enough it seems we’ve both done a 180 where that generation mostly became shitheads around 1980 and our generation became much better people starting in the late 2000s or early 2010s.
Oh no doubt on the homophobia. That is the one thing that dominated my teen years, even more than racism and I grew up in the South.
The homophobia was real, but we had gay kids in school that just hasn’t came out yet and they never got picked on. It was more you were going to get called a “f*g” than a racial slur.
I was a senior in '99 and I forgot how many people attended. I wasn't interested in Korn, Limp Bizkit, Kid Rock so I didn't pay much attention at the time to it being a thing at all. Over the years you heard it was a disaster and I assumed it was just that it wasn't well attended and the bands were lame. I agree on the capitalist part and poor conditions. You treat that age group like that and then have a certain type of band dominating each day you are just asking for that type of behavior.
Graduated in ‘00 and I was into a bunch of the bands so I did pay attention but it wasn’t like today where people were tweeting about the conditions etc. I remember the news coverage when it lit up but outside of that there wasn’t anything about the lead up until later. I’m sure it was on MTV because they were live there but we got MTV taken away by the town church when Beavis and Butthead came out. Yep
Two eps into the Woodstock doc. I’ve seen the HBO doc and had an idea, but this one does a better job of showing how disgusting (and criminal) it all was. Props to Limp Bizkit though. They took a once in a lifetime opportunity and knocked it out of the park. I loved the promoter’s quote “I didn’t take into account how much of an asshole Fred Durst is…”
My wife and I were joking about how many different movie tropes they shoved into the movie. “I’ve got to raise so and so dollars for my kids school! And the clock is ticking! So I’ve got to team up with this new partner who doesn’t match my personality at all! Also vampires!” that said I enjoyed it.
So they just ignore the ‘94 Woodstock? One of my favorite video tapes I had. No clue how many times I’ve watched it
I was super into music then. Green Day “Dookie” was my favorite album and I listened to most of the bands that played so I bought the VHS of it and watched all the live performances over and over. NIN and Primus were amazing.
