What do you think was important that we missed?

As a reader, I'm sure I wouldn't know lol.

Ha ha ha, nicely played  :)

Putting this in General as I don't think we have a fan fiction section ( I know, FF is crap, but since we have so much time on our hands waiting for the next installment, FIT! ). How would you end the series? Feel free to include as much detail as you like, total free form question here.

New error, or at least newly discovered since I don't normally hit New Replies but clicked it on accident. Was redirected to this page:

DATABASE ERROR
Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'saproduction.t.id_last_msg' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT
File: /var/www/www.second-apocalypse.com/Sources/Recent.php
Line: 1105

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 2.0.17, while your database is at version 2.0.4. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

Well, I would certainly know how to fix this error if given access to the database calling code ( it's either from application call to the database or stored code in the database ). If a patch fixes this, then it's 50/50 it can be fixed in the code ( meaning the code could be fine as written, but triggering a database bug ).

Cop Shows

Unforgotten - pretty good, if you like Euro-cop shows, you'll like it. I like how they introduce the story, you see different people in the first episode who appear to have nothing to do with each other and by the end, you see the beginning of the weave, it's pretty cool. About cold cases.

The Valhalla Murders - Islandic, I watched it dubbed. I enjoyed it, some weak after acting here and there, but fun to watch.

Dogs of Berlin - I may have mentioned this one already, pretty good, German show, watched it dubbed and was descent. Some good writing with this one, I liked it.

I was wondering about this one, bit dicey with the marketing so haven't committed yet. Thanks for letting us know.

Yeah, the marketing was a little weird, but I actually think it "worked" pretty well.  Because we spent the whole episode in suspense about what was actually going to go down and who was actually implicated in it.

Sounds good :)

Ha, unfortunately, the price is just a bit too rich for my blood at the moment...

Just saw the price - oh well, I still have the original.  A bit beat up but I think it's all there.

Looks like TaoHorror is going to join us H!

You betcha, just a plane ticket away to some killer board gaming :)

The Undoing looked fairly generic, possibly interesting, but on the basis of just being an HBO (proper) show, we checked it out.  First episode was fairly well done, so we'll be watching the rest.

HeroQuest now out for Crowfunding: https://hasbropulse.com/products/heroquest-game-system

Looks pretty cool, even if just for the nostalgia value.

Hell yeah!  Some day I going to swing by your neck of the woods, H, and we should play!  I love HeroQuest!!

Mr. Frost

Can something be shit and awesome? Yes! Mr. Frost is cheap, zero production with silly directing and music score. That said, I love this movie. Hard to find any more, but found it on Youtube. The resolution is terrible, significantly less than SD, so for those of you who enjoy watching movies on your gadgets, you'll enjoy a much better picture viewing on a small screen. The theme is rich, though shallowly treated, and Goldblum is in top form. Few bits of stupidity ( the liquifying the ring act, made no sense, would've been a better movie if it kept his character's authenticity in question for a while ), but in the end fun to watch ( mostly ) and an interesting discussion on religion vs scientific atheism ( most likely think I'm being a bit generous here given some of the amateurish aspects, but essentially this is what the movie is about ).

Dogs of Berlin

Mad stuff, I ain't moving to fucking Germany. I enjoyed it - strange mix of mediocre directing/dialogue with excellent writing in many parts. Good actors and over all fun to watch, I recommend it and looking forward to 2nd season if they have one. So, not a classic, but good.

Dune trailer

I heard a rumor they might not put the movie out until next year though, because people just aren't going to theaters enough for it to likely recoup what was spent on it.

I was hoping the same day movie on demand thing would catch on ( you pay something like $30 if you want to see movies out now ), but I guess it didn't. I would pay that for this thing.

Raised By Wolves and Lovecraft Country.  Neither is perfect, but entertaining enough to watch.

Was wondering about Lovecraft Country - couldn't figure out if it was good or just a cheap horror flick. Good enough, you say?

Blade Runner 2049

Taking Q to a thread. The Q scrolled past some of your stuff, SmilerLoki - would enjoy you rehashing here if you want. In response to your point that they should've dropped the Harrison Ford character ( Deckard ). I didn't think of that, what it would be like without him - didn't come across as forced to me, seemed pretty good. His name helps the movie, ofc. But was he necessary - maybe not, but I found his performance entertaining, though it was overly done.

Movie and cinematography was very very cool - but it could've been more exciting. The ending kinda thumped and wasn't the beautiful Roy Batty monologue the first one had.
