Reply to Self-Defense Stress Test show? by thielen

This just demonstrates a profound ignorance around actual violence in general. The idea that violence outside competition is anything less than unpredictable and chaotic is laughable. There is no "best" martial art in any sense but the situational and immediate. That's literally why there are so many.

Reply to Three of the very biggest shows on right now (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian and Yellowstone) are western inspired by RusevReigns

No, all it means is there was a long lull with no western stories and a bunch of screenwriters thought, "Maybe I can make something cool with those tropes from that show I liked when I was a kid." Hollywood has been like this for literal decades, in many genres and sub-genres. This is, by my count, the 3rd or 4th time there's been increased interest in westerns just since the 80s.

Reply to Breaking Bad or The Sopranos, and why? by RichAf26

They're not really comparable. The stories are designed to do very very different things. Both excellent, but there are dozens of excellent shows. This endless "which is best" discussion not only misses the entire point of art, it's also just an excuse to fluff your ego without actually doing anything.

Reply to Why are actors with amazing performances in one high profile role, not re-casted in other high profile roles? by Royal-Geologist587

Justin Theroux is currently the lead in The Mosquito Coast.

Michael C Hall splits his time between screen and stage, but he's currently wrapping Dexter: New Blood.

Confess, Fletch, with Hamm in the lead role, is in theaters right now and he's the lead in the next season of Fargo which is in production now.

What are you talking about?
