  I prefer full seasons releases, but weekly can be OK is some cases.

  Also depends how much I like the show. I generally only tolerate weekly if I am big fan, otherwise I just wait till the full season is released.

  From the article:

  However, there could be a fairly simple explanation there: Morpheus dies in the MMO game The Matrix Online. That specific event in the game is considered canon because the writer-directors, the Wachowskis, gave their approval to the game.

  They are developing a new matrix movie?

  I watched The Matrix Resurrections at home and I gave up halfway through, still haven’t finished it. There were some cool scenes in the early part of the movie that were almost breaking the fourth wall and seemed to pick up the spirit of the introductory scenes in The Matrix, but Resurrections were quickly started to go down the drain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Minecraft Movie sequel discussions are already happening⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are probably going to be ~10 Minecraft movies over the next ~20 years (if not more)

  If kids like it, that’s a top end target market. No parent is going to lecture their child for shit taste. 😆

  The children are not going to say “this is an atrocious screen adaption of the spirit of Minecraft, I am extremely disappointed in Jared Hess’ direction and Jason Momoa, who has once again proven himself to be a subpar actor as we saw in his work in See”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Dune 3’: Legendary Circling Robert Pattinson For New Role In Upcoming Installment – The Dish⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO, it would be far more difficult to make movies covering Frank Herbert’s books after Dune Messiah. Especially Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse: Dune.

  While I really enjoyed Dune: Part II, it in many ways compressed the developments the middle and ending of the book. Dune: Part I was much more aligned with pacing of the book; it covered the relatively short intro of the book. I would have much preferred if Dune: Part II was split into two parts; the rise of Muad’Dib (this would introduce us to on-going developments in Dune, broader history and world-building, as well as developing Paul and Jessica’s Atreides characters) and a final movie dedicated to the narrative finale of Dune (1965).

  An additional movie covering the events Dune Messiah would be a perfect fit to the “original trilogy”. A postscript movie of sorts, before starting new trilogies based on the later books.

  I am not just saying this as a Dune fanboy. I spoke to several people who don’t normally watch sci-fi (let alone have an interest in Dune specifically), but who watched Dune Parts I/II and they all mentioned that Part II was difficult to follow and was a bit disjointed and that Part I had better pacing.

  And no Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson novels. I admit I’ve only read one (I believe it was Dune: House Atreides from 1999), but it was complete dogshit and did not feel like a Dune novel. Felt more like a generic space scifi novel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s your favourite international, non-Anglo/English series?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trapped / Ófærð - Islandic police drama set in a small town that’s isolated from the rest of the Island.

  Norsemen / Vikingane - Norwegian satirical take on recent viking related series.

  Servant of the People / Слуга народу - Ukrainian political satire show played by Volodymyr Zelenskyy years before he became president of Ukraine.

  Paranoia Agent / Mōsō Dairinin - This is technically an anime, but the motifs and execution is honestly closer to an artsy TV show. Directed by Satoshi Kon who made Perfect Blue, Memories, Paprika and other unique Japanese animation pieces.

  But then again he was 33 when Real McCoy was released. I first watched it in maybe 95 with my parents and I was very young then.
