  1. I will openly admit I dont “get” about 6% of the show. But the 94% I get, I love. Are parts of the show too smart for me? Or is it trying tooooo hard?

     

    Also, I am having a hard time with the timelines. How much time has passed in the three seasons? How long are they going to drag out the takeover bid story? Shouldnt it been either successful (or failed) by now?

    This is a good one. And he's actually in the middle of a little renaissance. He got fat and depressed and pretty much quit acting for like a decade. But he's been really good in some good shit lately, like "No Sudden Moves" and he'll be in Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon." I like redemption stories like this.

    Hail the Brendan Fraser Renaissance

    Brendan Fraser, Mummy Vanquisher is gone. Meet Brendan Fraser, prestigious actor.

    “Whatever happened to Brendan Fraser?” was a popular refrain during much of the 2010s, when the one-time blockbuster star all but vanished from the spotlight. Then in 2018, GQ finally asked the source; the answers were unexpectedly moving and emotionally charged. Yet it also didn’t quite seem as if a resurgence was on the horizon: Fraser had a solid role in the underrated FX drama Trust; performances on cult shows like Doom Patrol followed. But his dashing, mummy-defeating days were clearly behind him.

    And yet now we seem to be entering, improbable as it is, Fraser’s comeback era. It started with A24, as good film news usually does these days. The studio acquired Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale, which will feature Fraser as a 600 pound-man who lies in a bathtub binge-eating out of “guilt,” which, honestly, sounds like a pretty weird watch. But, hey, Fraser and Aronofsky, we’ll take it!

    Things only go up from there. When Steven Soderbergh revealed he cast approximately 15 of the coolest actors alive for his new crime thriller No Sudden Move, Brendan Fraser’s name in the mix was a surprising but welcome sight. As one of the shadowy go-betweens who kicks off the film’s inciting incident, he more than acquits himself amidst the players who we’re used to seeing in gritty crime stories like this. Which may be how he landed on Martin Scorcese’s radar—Fraser will be part of the troupe for Killers of the Flower Moon alongside De Niro, Leo, and probable new heavyweight Oscar contender Jesse Plemons.

    And now, Big Fras is getting in on the superhero gold rush: he'll star opposite Leslie Grace in the upcoming Barbara Gordon/Batgirl solo film from directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (best known for helming Bad Boys For Life). The word, which is at this time, still unconfirmed, is that he'll play the DC villain Firefly.

    How did this happen? Fraser himself is as surprised and grateful as anyone, judging from a video that went viral this week of him tearing up when told that fans are rooting for him. But he seems to have shrewdly re-molded his image and expanded his range. He doesn’t have the figure or the agility to be Rick O’Connell again, vanquishing CGI hordes of evil as a Club Monaco version of Indiana Jones. In No Sudden Move he’s unlike you’ve ever seen him before—an irritable, hulking heavy whose presence bodes danger and uncertainty. It’s far from the affable guy who typically toggled between dorky, affable and action/adventure.

    Will check out fat brendan’s latest works and issue a report on that too.

    How the fuck we gonna talk about Brendan Fraser and Encino Man hasn’t been mentioned once?

    Well if we are speaking of primate comedic stylings, i prefer george of jungle to encino man. You could have gotten him tagged with encino man together if you were just faster on the gun. 
     

    ps: never seen encino man. I will rectify this immediately (or as time permits) and get back to you all with a report. 
     

    ps2: peak brendan fraser is actually blast from the past for me. saw that movie like 10 times.

    Least favorite episode in awhile. Please kill the Maria Sofia plot soon - it was OK for first 2 eps.

     

    next episode: the blackmailing padre will ask maria sofia to stop acting as per level4 advice. She wont agree. So he will now ask larry to drop her from the pilot.  But hulu execs wont do pilot withou her. More larry schemes will commence. 
     

    Only 7 more episodes of Maria Sofia schemes to go. Rejoice and cherish every second of it!!!

    He’s half right / quarter gray area / quarter very wrong. Overall he’s a bad person, but very entertaining, and would be cool to hang out with occasionally.

    This is right. Scones need to fucking moist. Thinking they should be dry makes him one-eighth wrong by that fact alone!!!!!

    I’m interested to see how SAF does in the World Cup.  They had a strong showing in the West Indies on some turning pitches and Faf is in great form right now.  QdK tends to do well in UAE along with Rabada and Nortje.  David Miller was shit in the IPL the little I saw of him.  Too bad their quota system has led to AB de Villiers telling them to fuck off.

    Faf was not selected for the south african team!!!!!!

    We are in the middle of a renaissance of science fiction and fantasy right now. 

     [Limiting scope to Sci-fi] We are? Being super honest here (no asshole) - why do you feel that way?
     

    When a show like The Expanse cant make it - even with Amazon $$$ - I am a bit depressed. I am always worried about expensive sci-fi.  
     

    Maybe you mean renaissance some other way? But sci-fi doesnt appeal to the masses (unless you talk about superhero movies, which is more fantasy than sci-fi).

    "[W]ith season two, our audience will get to visit more of Asimov's indelible characters and worlds, including Hober Mallow, General Bel Riose, and all the Outer Suns," Goyer said in a press release. "I'm thrilled that a whole new generation of fans are reading Asimov's brilliant masterwork. We're playing the long game with Foundation' and I'm grateful to my partners at Apple and Skydance for entrusting me with this epic. Buckle up. We're about to fold some serious space."
