A agree, it is absurd to assume that nuking a city of 40k would transform NCR from a neutral peacekeeping force with bases all over the place into a band of commie woke-andians.
In addition, both NCR and BOS behave like stereotypical Caesar's Legion, not only in philosophy but ritual.
The acting inside the vaults (32 / 4) was incredibly strained... maybe it's the standard manner of acting in every TV show made after 2012? So it may be some sort of a self-awareness? But is that inside joke really worth the price?
The last three episodes are way lower quality than the first four, so that may have contributed to getting fed up...
Overall the show was better than I expected, and will probably have at least 2 seasons more if the producers can get over the whole "hey, it's a post-apocalyptic desert, no effort needed to populate the place!" shtick and start writing quality material.
Sorry, I don't have the time to educate the mentally retarded... but I am sure there are taxpayer financed programs which can educate you how to make a google search.
Liberal fan service is what it is, considering that everything in it can be reduced to two things:
1. swearing for the love of swearing (1+ gratuitous "fuck"s per minute only in the first 20 minutes)
2. normalizing all kinds of LGBT dirty fantasies
Anya Taylor-Joy already had two decent movies (The VVitch & Thoroughbreds) by the time she was the age Jenna Ortega today... quite sad the waste of a capable actress
Well, I don't think they would be able to find anybody more obnoxious... Winona Ryder comes close but probably too young to satisfy the perverted tastes of the Diversity Mob.
That actor is not British. He is a citizen of the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland. That doesn't make him more British than naming a dog "Rex" makes the dog a king. It's still a filthy mutt.
Also, contrasting 70 years of communist rule with a history spanning thousands... that just confirms what "communication" means to you: barking like your very existence depended on it.
Thank Mr. Heinlein, he has a great talent (and an even greater palette) in writing female characters.
I guess it was probably a marketing thing, recognizable actors being the engine of success... and you can't really make a believable movie about the British with actors familiar to the American crowd.
If we are already on this topic, I can't help noticing how absurdly close Matthew McConaughey's delivery is to his performance in True Detective Season 1, even some lines being identical (!!!). Not to mention that said a series ends with a subtle parody of British manners.
I don't really get what you are saying as this tv show is about making a tv show...
Strange Days (1995), The Game (1997), Eyes Wide Shut (1999), and Inception (2010) are quite palpably influenced by it... the idea may not be new as Looker (1981), Brainstorm (1983), and Videodrome (1983) all treated some or all of the same ideas... but this show is where all the ideas come together.
The sets, props, and camera work (shot on film but processed to have a digital edge) are all excellent and aged very gracefully.
Everything else is as dreadful as a Shakespearean soap opera where every character is played by Jeff Bridges.
Totally agree with you. I believed everything in the movie (documentary) until the last scene when three Scientologists "came after Marty" at the studio. That gave me a very "theatrical" feeling, as if Marty was "in on it" and they were in fact playing for the same team: "The Greater Good of Scientology" team, much like the persons most against Freemasonry are Freemasons themselves.
What happened after that event, Marty starting to swear at Louis after it was pointed out that Marty was a hypocrite (i.e. harassing around with people's friends and families while at the same time complaining that Scientologists does the same to him) made me realize that he didn't have a feud with Scientology or any its methods... his only feud was with the leadership of Scientology, the leadership that doesn't include him (preferably at the top of the pyramid).
The fact that he confessed on camera that he entered into conflict with Scientology not because he left but because he wanted to set up his own, rival, "Scientology church" is all the confirmation you need.
More fuel to the fire, visit his website (blog), and find that 1. he criticizes people who are anti-Scientology 2. the "Recommended Reading" list is full of brainwashing materials akin to the methods used in Scientology (as he can't offer materials authored and copyrighted by the Church of Scientology...)
Anyway, I don't have anything against the Church of Scientology and in fact consider that L Ron Hubbard made the world a better place, even if by a tiny bit, by promoting the importance of communication. On the other hand I find that aggressive hypocritical midwits like Marty are the worst poison possible for society, any kind of society.
