What subscription services are you subscribed to, if any?
Question of the week:
What movies are you anticipating in 2023?
Question of the week is the same as last time since 2023 has barely started.
xiong chumo, the chinese animated movie series. It’s surprisingly good.
I am currently re-watching James Cameron’s “Avatar” (2009) and I have recently seen Event Horizon (1997). I Also recently finished season 4 of The Expanse. I am also anticipating the streaming release of Avatar: The Way of Water.
Absolutely no subscriptions, not worth it at all. I just finished watching a few months ago “In the Name of the People”, Chinese thriller about anti-corruption. Now I’m watching “The Knockout” which is in the same vein, but it hasn’t gripped me strongly like the former did.
99.9% of western media is soooo bad.
Yeah western media sucks. It’s not just that I dislike the messaging, it’s just bad. A billion dollar production can’t go five minutes without an over-produced CGI explosion. Subtlety is no long allowed. Every conversation needs to be a screaming match or a fight or a fuck. Every trope is driven by trope or absurdism.
Anyway, do you have the folder for “In the Name of the People”? If you do, can I have the magnet?
Yeah I totally agree. The level of tropes and anti-proletarian themes of so much western media is annoying.
INP is available to stream on youtube with both english and mandarin subtitles, that’s where I watched it.
Last show I watched was Wednesday, and it was better than I expected, and planning to watch Last of Us next. I’ve got netflix and splitting crave (which is a Canadian flavor of HBO) with a friend. Haven’t really kept up with movies since the pandemic started. :)
