I saw a fan-edit of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines called ‘Terminator 3: The Coming Storm’.
It cuts out all the goofy stuff from the original, leaving a tight 90-minute dystopian thriller that I really enjoyed.
It’s only available in DVD-type quality, but I didn’t mind (I’ve only got a 1080p projector).

The Untamed, a Chinese series based on a manhua called Modao Zushi. It’s about a quasi-delinquent cultivator going against the grain, using “wicked magic” to get things done and everyone close to him has a shit time and/or ends up dying, and he gets blamed for everything that is bad.
I saw the donghua first, and while I enjoyed it a lot, it was difficult to keep up with all that was happening. The live action felt better paced, partly because it’s just longer and gives more room to digest and get used to the characters and names. I was a little unsure about it at first - it seemed a little silly, but after a few episodes I grew really attached to the characters as they were acted and portrayed. For me, the occasional silliness became endearing and didn’t detract from the overall serious, melancholic atmosphere.
I’m binging Chinese productions these days because I’m really bored and sick of Hollywood (and my part of the world sucks at quality TV fiction), and I feel seriously uncomfortable with how underexposed I’ve been to non-western cultures (aside from Japanese). SEA is massively diverse and populated but virtually all I ever see originates from within the Anglosphere or northern/central Europe, and I’m discovering that that’s not for a lack of quality content elsewhere. But I digress.
Basically, 10/10 recommend escaping the Anglo-trap.

Currently watching a korean series called “The Bequeathed”. I’m just on the 3rd episode but it’s been good so far. It’s giving me True Detective vibes, which is cool because I’m also watching TD Season 4. Still cautiously optimistic because korean shows are notorious for not being able to end properly, but I’m enjoying it so far.
I also saw the 10-minute preview of Dune Part 2 that included an exclusive trailer last night. Got tickets for the early screening on Feb. 25. The hype is real!

I just started rewatching Star Trek: Voyager, for the first time since its original run on TV when I was a kid, thanks to all the damn Star Trek memes on Lemmy.
I am having a great time.
