Ugh. Can you believe Netflix? Lazy sons of diseased cows. Their NieR adaptation sucks. I don't even have to see it to know. They didn't even have enough faith in their work to put the NieR name on it! And casting Sandra Bullock as 2B?? You would think Hollywood would have learned its lesson after Scarlett Johansson played the Major. Gosh. I give them props for not just following the story of the game but making it a giant escort mission? I'm shaking my head, friends, shaking my head. I long for the day when video game movies are quality products that are taken seriously, but NieR: Birdbox is not that movie.
She'll never be 2B to me.
Bird Box was meh, but I actually really liked that Ghost in the Shell remake. Fight me.
I've loved what I've played of Automata though.
I haven’t seen the live action movie myself—one of the many films I intend to watch at some point—so It wouldn’t be much of a fight. I was referring to the controversy about casting a white American to play the Major, who was supposed to be Japanese
I know. I actually brought that controversy up quite a bit in a social media class I taught around the time the movie came out. There was some hashtag campaign they tried on Twitter that backfired.
I do like that movie though, even if it was critically panned.
Ha ha ha!
I just got Netflix again for a month so I can watch season 3 of Skylanders Academy. Yea, that. Seems like every year now around this time I do this. I should check out that Castlevania anime before I unsubscribe again.
I haven’t watched the second season of Castlevania yet but the first was surprisingly good. I need to do that...
I think I'll check it out right after Skylanders.
Right now on Netflix I'm watching the new season (if you count six episodes as a season) of the new Mystery Science Theater 3000. I love that show.
If Sherlock can get away with a three-episode season, six sounds pretty good. But I really ought to watch some of that show sometime. Everyone seems to like it.
