What in the hell, man

I started watching that Scavengers Reign show everyone kept telling me to watch and hot damn, y'all weren't kidding. This show is perfect for me. It gives me very similar vibes to when I read the Southern Reach Trilogy by Jeff Vandermeer (what the movie Annihilation was adapted from) which is my all time favorite sci-fi series.

It's got this whole natural horror element to it, but isn't explicitly scary so much as it is unsettling. I'm only 5-6 episodes in but I expect it to end fairly similarly with that sort of blissful acceptance of a situation that would otherwise be terrifying.

Fucking 10/10 so far.

There's no such thing as a wrong way to enjoy a movie.

If someone comes at you and says you shouldn't be watching this or that movie on your phone, don't pay attention to them. Anything that's well put together and good enough could be enjoyed anywhere.

There is an anecdote about the making of Aliens that comes to mind on this regard. When the movie was finished, James Cameron and Bill Paxton were coming back to the US with a copy of the film, and this copy was set up so that you could actually watch it but it had to be watched through a viewfinder, with a screen the size of a post stamp. It might've been biased on their end, but Bill Paxton (who hadn't seen the edited movie up until that point) was pretty enthusiastic about it. All from a version of a movie seen on a screen the size of a post stamp.

Be it streaming on your phone, or on a big movie screen, movies are movies and if they're good then, to quote Yoda, "Size matters not".

Bad Monkey (prod. Bill Lawrence).

Apple's series adaptation of novelist Carl Hiaasen's sunshine noir uses its Florida Keys backdrop to maximize its intriguing sense of lackadaisical weirdness. There's so much to the interesting setup involving severed body parts, bad real estate deals, African witchcraft, and soft-boiled detective fare starring an affable Vince Vaughn. It's a fun detective comedy series with amusing characters building to a standard but clever mystery around its shady characters with suspicious motives. Lawrence balances dark, brooding tone with Vaughn's easygoing humour.

Fulgur Ovid winning! Kanemune, one of Novectacle's official artist known for Fatamoru manga made an illustration that depicts his journey in playing the game! It seem Fulgur commissioned Kanemune for this piece.

I sincerely enjoyed his Fatamoru streams! I always watch him live. He's very thoughtful about the story and took the voice acting seriously. He will get to the ending soon next stream! I sure hope he will return and play the rest of the game. I just want to simply hear his opinion about the characters and story. Its the type of story I love revisiting because I love it.

In addition! Kanemune and Keika Hanada, the writer of Fatamoru story is really impressed by his voice acting for Yukimasa's character.

I'll Never Forgive Netflix For This

They canceled Kaos after one season.

Now, to be fair, we had been evaluating the number of streaming services we paid for and were planning on canceling Netflix already, so I can't honestly tell you, dear reader, that our decision to cancel Netflix was solely based on the fact that they canceled Kaos after one season, but it sure as shit didn't convince me to stay.

I get that people have feelings about Joss Whedon these days, but not since Fox canceled Firefly have I been this outraged at a decision to cancel a show. I don't know- as it seems like streaming services cancel shows left and right these days, but man when Hollywood is struggling and the firehouse of streaming content is delivering way more quantity than quality, I don't get how you dump a show this damn good!

It doesn't help that I am a mythology nerd. I devoured old Penguin classics on 'Heroes and Legends of Greek Mythology', and I read The Illiad and The Odyssey (multiple versions, but the Emily Wilson translation of The Odyssey is gorgeous-- her translation of The Illiad is on my shelf now) at an absurdly young age. This shit is my jam. I love this. If you are making a movie or a television show about mythology, I'm going to judge the fuck out of it.

(Parenthetical Time: Disney's Hercules is an abomination and I loathe it. Hades was never the bad guy. Troy with Brad Pitt was god-awful, but Troy: Fall of A City on Netflix was an incredibly good adaptation of The Illiad. I know everyone just loves Hercules The Legendary Journeys and Kevin Sorbo these days, but that show also did a really great job with the mythology of it all. Also, shout out to Madeline Miller for The Song of Achilles and Circe, both incredible, amazing books.)

All of that being said: Kaos was the best modern adaptation of Greek mythology that I have ever seen and unforgivably, they ended this show on one hell of a cliffhanger.

The story opens with Zeus (Jeff Goldblum in a bit of serendipitously perfect casting) ruling over a modern Greek world, where mortals are expected to pay frequent homage to him. An Olympia Day monument is vandalized in Krete and he becomes convinced that people are not paying him sufficient respect. He notices a small wrinkle and suspects that's aging (something that shouldn't happen to an immortal) and worries that it represents a line from a prophecy he was given by the Fates.

Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan) visits, hoping for more divine responsibilities, and when Zeus rebuffs him and Hera (Janet McTeer) sneers at him, he leaves, but not before stealing Zeus' watch. Zeus goes so far as to summon Prometheus (Stephen Dillane) to seek assurance that his prophecy will not come to pass.

Meanwhile, the mortal Eurydice (Aurora Perrineau) meets Cassandra (Billie Piper) who tells her that today is the day she will leave her husband Orpheus (Killian Scott) because she has fallen out of love with him. She goes to visit her mother, a Tacita Priestess of Hera's (Michelle Greenidge) who reminds her of her prophecy. It's the same as Zeus', which shouldn't be possible, but on her way home, she's hit by a semi and killed. A heartbroken Orpheus tries to commit suicide to follow her to the underworld, but Dionysus tells him there's a way for the two of them to be reunited again.

And from there, this show takes off! We find out about Ari and King Minos, and what happened to her brother Glaucus. The Trojans are here too-- refugees from the fall of their city. Riddy thinks she can pass through The Frame in the underworld, only to find that she can't, because Orpheus stole her coin and she's got to work 200 years before she can pass through and be Renewed. She meets Caeneus who, as it turns out, has the same prophecy as her and Zeus, and little by little, we find out that Prometheus has waited patiently for a chance to take down Zeus and he's not the only one then just when we're setting up for one hell of a cliff hanger with Zeus bleeding, the Meander fountain, the source of the Gods' immortality stops flowing and Hera leaves for an unknown destination, telling one of her children to 'gather the troops' and Ari strikes a deal with the Trojans against the Gods themselves.

And then, Netflix canceled the show.

I cannot tell you how awesome this show turned out to be. Joe McGann shows up as a one-eyed bartender named Polyphemus-- the name of his bar? The Cave. Suzy Eddie Izzard shows up as one of the Fates, Lachesis. Debi Mazar is an excellent Medusa. David Thewlis is Hardes, Cliff Curtis is Poseidon this cast is awesome! From Jeff Goldblum on down it's all just so goddamn amazing. The storylines, adapted from the original myths are updated so intelligently for a modern setting. But it's really the bickering, back-biting, scheming Deities themselves that this show absolutely nails. Hera is mean. Zeus is a tyrant. It's just all so perfect!

Overall: This show deserves at least one more season to finish the story and the internet was rightfully outraged that it was cancelled. As am I. My Grade: **** out of ****

Batman: Caped Crusader is a gorgeous, well-acted series. Between this and the Reeves films, I'm digging the greater emphasis on the detective side of things, and the show does a good job paying homage to BTAS while still standing alone. I'm already getting antsy for Season 2!
