What TV shows or movies are you looking forward to in 2024?

[petitedollbabee]

I’m excited for season 7 of The Good Doctor, and hoping that season 2 of Squid Game will be released this year, and hopefully season 3 of Alice In Borderland aswell.

[WhiteSteve]

I don’t watch TV, really. A very select few shows. Maybe just the next season of Shoresy🏒

[butterly248]

Ah a fellow Letterkenny fan!

[WhiteSteve]

@butterly248 How are ya now?👋

[butterly248]

Haha! Did you watch the last season? :(

[WhiteSteve]

@butterly248 I did. I’m so sad it’s over😭 Some people *cough, cough Dary cough, cough* we’re starting to look weirdly old this past season though, so maybe it’s time. I was kind of hoping for a reveal that Coach had some kind of Norman Bates situation going with his dead wife Barb😂😂😂

[butterly248]

I agree and it is sad :(

[NathanDavis]

same, same... and same...

Alice in Borderlands third season more than anything

also hoping to see some animes coming back, especially Bleach...

[butterly248]

• Good Omens (S3)
• Clarkson's Farm (S3)
• The Grand Tour (the last 2 specials!)
• Hazbin Hotel (not actually been confirmed if S2 will be released this year!)
• Fallout
• Bridgeton (S3)
• Wednesday (S2)

[butterly248]

The S😌 is meant to be season 3!

[butterly248]

The movies will probably be John Wick 5 and Deadpool 3!

[petitedollbabee]

I didn’t know Good Omens was getting another season, that’ll be so good. And if Bridgeton gets another season this year I’ll be so happy 🥹

[butterly248]

May I think

[IslaTheWitch]

Dune 2... not that I wait for it. It again will be a simplified version of the book, but I like actors, so at least it will be nice to watch.

[NathanDavis]

when exactly does it come out... if you know

[IslaTheWitch]

@NathanDavis end of this month

[NathanDavis]

damn... that's soon enough, lol

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I actually prefer the wacky David Lynch version so far but really curious about how season 2 will unfold.

[IslaTheWitch]

@GuyAnswersGirls123 Lynch's version is a classic. It had the atmosphere...

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

@IslaTheWitch Something I love about Lynch's version is all the whispered voiceovers for inner monologues. Even though they don't reveal as much about the character's inner workings as I think they ideally could and were generally just used for exposition ("My name is a killing word," Paul thought), it gives the film a quality I usually only find in literature of actually being able to know exactly what the characters are thinking. I often wish more films did this even though it seems to be considered bad filmmaking for some reason.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Sin City is another one I liked in much the same way, generously using voiceovers to communicate the inner thoughts of each character. I find it gives a greater sense of intimacy with each character when we can literally read their minds.

[IslaTheWitch]

@GuyAnswersGirls123 yes, the inner thoughts were very similar to how Herbert wrote his books. There were a lot of inner dialogues, thoughts, reflections, and retrospections. In the movie, it added an additional dimension and also an explanation for things that were not presented. I also like Jessica from Lynch's version more. She had this air of royalty there, exactly how Herbert described her.

Lynch's version was awfully cut off... but I love it the best of all Dune adaptations.

[IslaTheWitch]

@GuyAnswersGirls123 Sin City is very high on my list of movies, I watch it from time to time.

If you like to read, try Polish author Stanisław Lem. His books are futuristic, but what is more important is that he created characters full of inner thoughts and observations. Try "Tales of Pirx the Pilot", a set of stories about one guy, from the beginning of his career to the moment he achieved more than he has ever imagined. I love this book. I love how the character was created. As a normal person, without any outstanding traits. His thoughts, doubts, analyses... I read it every year lol

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I love sci-fi so I'll definitely add him and "Tales of Pirx the Pilot" to my to-read list! One of my favorites is Nicolson Baker. He writes in a first person perspective that's deeply reflective and obsessively keen on observation of the most mundane aspects of life:

>> But there was a simpler, less anthropological reason I had specifically asked Donna for the bag, a reason I hadn't quite isolated in that first moment of analysis on the sidewalk afterward, but which I now perceived, walking toward the escalator to the mezzanine and looking at the stapled CVS bag I had just transferred from one hand to the other. It seemed that I always liked to have one hand free when I was walking, even when I had several things to carry: I liked to be able to slap my hand fondly down on the top of a green mailmen-only mailbox, or bounce my fist lightly against the steel support for the traffic lights, both because the pleasure of touching these cold, dusty surfaces with the springy muscle on the side of my palm was intrinsically good, and because I liked other people to see me as a guy in a tie yet carefree and casual enough to be doing what kids do when they drag a stick over the black uprights of a cast-iron fence. I especially liked doing one thing: I liked walking past a parking meter so close that it seemed as if my hand would slam into it, and at the last minute lifting my arm out just enough so that the meter passed underneath my armpit. All of these actions depended on a free hand; and at Papa Gino's I already was holding the Penguin paperback, the CVS bag, and the cookie bag. It might have been possible to hold the blocky shape of the half-pint of milk against the paperback [...]

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

>>> [...] in order to keep one hand free, but my fingers would have had to maintain this awkward grasp, building cell walls in earnest, for several blocks until I got to my building. A bag for the milk allowed for a more graceful solution: I could scroll the tops of the cookie bag, the CVS bag, and the milk bag as one into my curled fingers, as if I were taking a small child on a walk. (A straw poking out of the top of the milk bag would have interfered with this scrolling—lucky I had refused it!) Then I could slide the paperback into the space between the scroll of bag paper and my palm. And this is what I had in fact done. At first the Papa Gino's bag was stiff, but very soon my walking softened the paper a little, although I never got it to the state of utter silence and flannel softness that a bag will attain when you carry it around all day, its hand-held curl so finely wrinkled and formed to your fingers by the time you get home that you hesitate to unroll it.

He also tends to write excessively long sentences and paragraphs which I enjoy. 😂

[IslaTheWitch]

@GuyAnswersGirls123 lol Nicolson Baker added. Is there any book for the starter you can recommend?

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

The Mezzanine is what made me fall in love with his writing style. It's also among the most extremely mundane of his books. The entire story is basically about an office worker's lunch break with the goal of purchasing a new pair of shoelaces. 😂

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Also found a negative review of the book which I might use as a disclaimer. It actually highlights what I love about the book but it's definitely not for everyone!

>> Yawwwwwnnnnnnn. It is a very tedious read. The narrator is in awe of every not-at-all-fascinating thing that we barely ever pay a thought to. And all these mundane things are described in excruciating detail. The kind of things that he discusses at length include why plastic straws are the way they are, what makes shoe laces wear out, the art of tying shoelaces, why it is better to cut a toast diagonally, staplers, milk cartons, garbage trucks and lot more. How to put on deodorant after he was fully dressed, shoe tying etc. count as life-changing lessons for him. There might have been some pieces that I found funny or interesting. I liked how the narrator would often re-visit his childhood days and build up on his thoughts from back then. In-spite of that it was just too tiring to read, even when I started skipping sentences. I can't help but wonder about the narrator's sanity. Such over-analysis of anything and everything can easily drive him crazy.

It does actually read like the musings of someone who is on the verge of insanity. 😂Yet it's what I love about his writing.

[IslaTheWitch]

@GuyAnswersGirls123 going to order on my kindle, lol... I love the review, totally my style

[BCA6010]

Honestly I'm drawing a blank... Dune 2 is the only movie I can think of that is coming out this year that I am even interested in, and the only show I care about that comes to mind is Masters of the Air, which I've been watching.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Season 2 of Severance is at the top of my list. I'm in love with that show.

[Joshydavid25]

@NathanDavis Aw yeah Bleach was tragic taking that long to finally animate the final arc.. But at least they came back upgraded and didn't disappoint.. LOL..

[NathanDavis]

this part of the story and episodes... were worth it all

[Joshydavid25]

@NathanDavis I still gotta watch it.. I wanna wait til the whole thing finishes so that I can binge it all.. So I guess... I am looking forward to a few things.. Hahaha..

[NathanDavis]

spoiler alert!

[Joshydavid25]

@NathanDavis Lmao.. Nah I've known about the "Thousand War Blood War" Arc for some years know.. I listened to Bleach Lore on YouTube for a while..
