@popvulture I figured I was one of the only people that really enjoyed Raised By Wolves
Stoked.to hear it's.coming back -
We’ve been bingeing Euphoria during this snowstorm. I like it. Interestingly shot and totally trippy, as well as extremely well-acted for a “high-school” drama. As with most things about people that age, I’m sure all of the actors are 20s+

@sabergirl I haven’t checked out Euphoria because I’ve been scared it’ll just make me worry about “kids these days.” And I don’t even have kids
I’ll fully admit it’s an absurd reason.@Joberwocky man it’s so good! I love that they were willing to spend money on a more heady sci fi offering. The world needs more of that.

I've been reading through the southern reach trilogy for the first time,.and damn does it put "Annihilation" to shame

I am totally with you on that. I still find it offensive that Alex Garland just took Jeff Van Der Meer’s basic premise and tossed the rest. Plus the orig was a MUCH more interesting story, imho. AG is a good writer, too — you’d think he’d be more respectful of that sort of thing after Danny Boyle murdered The Beach in the film adaptation.

I agree that the premise and execution of the story in the book is much more compelling, and unfortunately AG's movie left no chance to adapt the different but fun second book

[mention]popvulture [/mention] oh, I am indeed terrified of what kids are apparently getting into—but it’s not really new information. I am a part of the last generation that didn’t have cell phones or consistent internet access in high school and college. I feel like it’s a whole new ball game now, and much of it is no good.

Oh absolutely — I’m in that exact same age bracket and I find the concept of growing immersed in the internet, smartphones, and social media absolutely terrifying. I feel for the whippersnappers.

At 35 I feel like I was right on the cusp

Yeah I’d say about waist deep in webbernet, but safely above water

Back on topic though. My wife and I started Peacemaker and she was totally not feeling it. I was ever so slightly high as balls so I’m not sure if it was as bat shit crazy as I thought at the time but it seemed truly strange. I’ll watch it when she goes back to work.
Peacemaker is pretty batshit, but it's hilarious. I get the impression that a fair amount of John Cena's dialog is just him winging it, which makes me think more highly of his comedic skill.
