It literally is a meme, an ironic one.

Is the new Hunger Games subtitled under "Meatball Wars"? Jennifer Lawrence competes against some scifi oligarchs in a meatball eating competition.

Bryan M. Ferguson (“Pumpkin Guts”) Casper Kelly (“Too Many Cooks,” “Adult Swim Yule Log”) Micheline Pitt-Norman & R.H. Norman (“Cosmetic”) Alex Ross Perry (“Her Smell,” “Queen of Earth”) Paco Plaza (“REC,” “Verónica”) Anna Zlokovic (“Appendage”)

Paco Plaza has many really good movies. Too Many Cooks was also well made, albeit it was a bit shallow IMO.

I've never played the games (although I've seen let's plays of the game), but I thought the first movie was fun. I went in with zero expectations and I enjoyed it.

Might even go watch it in the cinema if they release it in English where I live.

This sounds like something I would enjoy.

Thanks for sharing.

I thought this would be a show about raves and electronic music culture (PLUR Bus).

The director made, Barbarian, which I thought was pretty good even if it was a bit flawed.

I personally have no issues with the lore implications or even the high level story setup (it's actually pretty cool).

It's the execution that's the issue. There are too many parts that make no sense. The Chaos edition makes subtle edits and deleted scenes additions to make the actions of the characters feel more realistic and coherent.

"The Last Narc" a 2020 documentary miniseries about the Guadalajara Cartel, a dominant force in the drug trafficking business in the 70s and 80s.

It sounds like it will never be completed.

Check out Prometheus Chaos Edition if you get a chance, IMO it addresses many of the issues with Prometheus (as much as a fanedit can).

I loved the ending of Rogue One, saw it in the cinema too (I don't really watch new Star Wars movies).

I am fan of the director, Gareth Edwards, Monsters (2010) was such a good indie sci-fi experience.

I originally watched season 1 (great experience), then I skipped seasons 2 and 3 because of the bad feedback. Decided to check out season 4 because I like the setting and Jodie Foster. Season 4 was solid, but I didn't like the ending.

So one day I decided to check out Season 2 (I knew nothing about it beyond a few actors that were in it and that a lot of people were complaining online); "how bad could it be?" I thought.

I was shocked how much I liked Season 2. It felt down-to-earth, a more naturalistic experience if you will. I really liked the ending, not that common for US series. A refreshing dose of realism.

There were some stupid parts in season 2. There was one episode where the over-the-top action didn't feel real. Occasionally there was too much drama. I also couldn't take Vince Vaughn seriously, although I did get the impression that he was genuinely trying (and I liked his character).

While season 1 was very good, it was fundamentally more style over substance. It was more of a fairytale for adults. Season 2 on the other was more of a story about life. One that requires more thought than the relatively stereotypical plot setting of season 1. Season has a "low risk" setting. Season 2 had a much more bold setting and they were willing to try something radically new and not build off the core viewer expectations set in Season 1.

I do think season 2 was better than season 1 because it explored more complex motifs and because of the refreshing gritty ending. Season 2 was also more original than season 1.
