Brandon Sanderson is proof that great writing isn’t limited to people who had tumultuous, harsh, eventful lives. Direct experience is only *one* way to become great. Passion, imagination, and hard work can produce great art even if a person lived a safe, peaceful life. Fiction is fiction, it doesn’t *have* to come from reality.

He’s one of my favorite authors. Would love to see The Mistborn series adapted to TV/Movies (as long as he retains creative control)

[@samwallaceart288]

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

[@Cmdr_Sinclair_B5]

Woman here, and I completely agree with what you said!

[@aldunlop4622]

I'll never understand for the life of me seeing a woman waking up in the morning (particularly after having sex beforehand) and they're wearing a bra. I've never met a woman who'd sleep with her uncomfortable bra on.

[@kingleech16]

When I think of books, movies, and tv shows that have used SA as a plot point, I think every one that has done it well did it off screen/page. Unless you're some sort of twisted unit, you don't need the details to know that it's bad, and some novels have gone into such lurid prose on the act that I've binned them (normally a sacrilege). 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..."

[@EnsignRedshirtRicky]

Disney has already started rebooting the reboots. In the absence of talent they will keep doing the same thing over and over, expecting it to just work. However, they will always find other IP to buy, mine into oblivion, and move onto the next victim. Current Hollywood is only interested in chasing fads.

Never apologize for liking a thing. If you liked it you liked it, and your job as a critic is to figure out why you liked it, and communicate that to the audience. That's in spite of whatever flaws it may have, because obviously it overcame those for you.

[@aldunlop4622]

I disagree, the job of a critic is to objectively say why it's good or bad, regardless of whether they personally liked it. For instance, I could do a review of a Taylor Swift concert and give it high praise even though personally I can't stand her music.

[@charlesrense5199]

@@aldunlop4622 art is not objective, it's subjective. You can't reduce good or bad to simple mathematical constants. A film can do everything "right" and be terrible, or everything "wrong" and be great. The job of the critic is to honestly assess a film from his own subjective perspective, and hope that syncs up with enough of his audience to be useful to them.

[@aldunlop4622]

@@charlesrense5199 The point is, it's NOT about the critic's opinion, it's about whether it's a good product, and yes, even objectivity is up for debate, but good acting is good acting, good cinematography is good cinematography, good CGI is good CGI etc. What is subjective is whether the critic likes the genre, the actors etc. CD loves spy/action type movies, and doesn't like more "artistic" movies (like Oppenheimer), but his reviews should at least TRY to be objective, even though it's not his favourite genre.

[@Ralathar44]

@@aldunlop4622 There is no objective. It's good or bad at what? They've talked about on the show before how basically every rule of film making has successfully been broken. There is no objective criteria that can be applied to every work. Only general rules of thumb which may change depending on the work. 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. Some ages well and some doesn't but how well it ages doesn't impact how good it is at time of release. This is all very complex stuff that's fully of interpretation and variables and nuance you're trying to turn into a binary right/wrong.

[@aldunlop4622]

But how do you fight what’s up here? How do you fight an idea?” And that’s how I wound up watching Ben-Hur. I struggle to think of a movie line that got me to check out the film for context.

Drinker, I'm an American old enough to remember the Fall Guy... and just about all I remember of it were brief little voice overs on the closing credits of other shows "Tomorrow on The Fall Guy, Colt gets more than he bargained for! 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. So yeah, the show was never a cultural juggernaut, it was just a thing that was on TV for a few years that most people barely remember. The fact that it failed to resonate shows you that it was an extremely weak IP to adapt.

[@qZbGmYjS4QusYqv5]

1:21:54 Regarding *_Californian_* "Gen Z Teens Want Less Sex on Screen" sociological studies I can find irritating that for some reason culture and movie commentators had stuck on the headlines and didn't read that article further where teens voice what they really want to see in the movies. And that's *_friendship_* and real connections. The things from the time past they are missing IRL and which were replaced by "views", "likes" and "friends" in social networks and messengers.

[@MaryRohwer]

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.

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.

[@toddnolastname4485]

And this is why we're getting all the reboots. "Hey, look how good they did on BattleStar Galactica!" What they forget is, the original BSG didn't do so well. The things they are rebooting are the successes.

@@toddnolastname4485 the original show was huge, but the studio didn't like it because it was so expensive to make, even reusing special effects shots all the time. Rebooting rarely results in a good show, but in the case of Battlestar Galactica it was.

The black and white Dunkirk from 1958 was far better. Nolan's Dunkirk had thin characters and a virtually empty beach, redeemed only by the flying sequences.

[@Zara-Bari]

And here I thought I was the only one who thought that. Also, I second the 1958 movie being better. It may be slightly more fictionalized, but I had a far better idea as to what was going on and why I should actually care about anything that was happening. Which is weird. 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.

[@Viny2196]

19:10 In case of Zendaya... I don't think she is some great actress but i do understand her stardom. She was genuinely very good in Euphoria which earned her some street cred as an actress. Plus she started as a child actress in disney and was in significant marvel projects. That established her as a professional. But more importantly she is a much better celebrity than an actress. 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. Her fame in fashion has significantly helped her acting career. I think she gets cast in roles not because of her acting talents but due to her influence as a fashion icon.

[@MaryRohwer]

I've thought the same thing. She doesn't destroy her movies BEFORE anyone watches them. My stepdaughter was completely disgusted by Amber Heard and didn't want her movies to do well. But with Zendaya, she seems pretty likable, and she has that exotic look that draws attention to her face for modeling. Zendaya's career reminds me of Andie McDowell's, who split her time between acting and modeling.

Feck, poor Ryan!

[@aldunlop4622]

He's boring as batshit. Hated him as Neil Armstrong in First Man.

I just realized another way the show fucks over New Vegas. The main plot to the game is the fight over Hoover Dam, a massive source of energy. "Cold fusion" basically makes the Dam pointless.

1:12:00 Mauler, Nolan's emotional bankruptcy reminds me of John Huston. Great eye and filmmaking sense, but the movies have no heart and the characters have no soul. Huston got it right before he died, directing his daughter in The Dead. I'm hoping the penny may also drop for Nolan, eventually, but it sure would be nice if it happened before he's only got half a film left in him.

[@RonCondon]

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

[@thomas79marshall]

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

[@jefffan171]

Henry Cav for Han Solo anyone? :-) 45:26

[@jamesm3392]

nice

I was last! :-)

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 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.

[@k1llercologne522]

Mauler did not watch Battlestar 😂 Sweet Summer Child. The first 3 Seasons r pretty good. I enjoyed it, but Drinker is right the End is med

[@mjbull5156]

It is the unfortunate mystery box problem where Moore did not have a great idea of how to resolve all the plot threads they threw out in the first three seasons. I like RDM as a writer but his explanation of how they wrote that show is baffling.

[@wrayday7149]

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.

[@myNameWasNobody75]

Diana Rigg, you heretics!!!

[@beardog7020]

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.

[@Raymaster7482]

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

[@BTakes138]

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.

[@nodot17]

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

[@eurodoc6343]

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.

[@MegaSpideyman]

Don't take away my hope!

[@hornedgod2873]

I think Florence is really hot. Beautiful face and curves

[@SolarDragon007]

She had the goods in Oppenheimer, lol.

What is TLJ?

The Last Jedi...

[@leighhunt6331]

@@jjforcebreaker Thank you.

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.

[@def_not_dan]

"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.

[@sirgaz8699]

"according to a study people aged 18 to 24 are looking for less or even no sex scenes in movies what are your thoughts and do you agree" I'm 34 and I usually skip sex scenes because they're boring and overused and all look the same because of the ratings . . . sex scenes feel like doing paperwork, fill in form GX the smile, then paper 6G gets lean in kiss, sign SA for gentle caress, then PRINT your name in black pen on EY for rocking motion and then please provide evidence of home address on SU for the finishing moan.

[@aldunlop4622]

Either there's no passion in them, or they're rough sex throwing each other into walls. Sex scenes (like fight scenes) used to tell a story, get you to empathise with how much they feel about each other. These days you have women having sex fully clothed, it's fucking weird.
