sad that anyone agrees with Anjohan, it’s just empty rhetoric
Yeah, but I find it pointless to try and change minds here (outside of purely technically discussions).
Fair, just wanted to stake a claim that the post at the top of this page doesn’t represent the community. I like it here a lot because it’s full of smart, thoughtful people, not the kind of stuff being peddled above. It’s like you said, this niche corner of the fanbase has always been a bright spot, we don’t need the outside culture war to plant a flag here.
Anyway, back to The Acolyte. Even if it’s pretty mediocre at the moment, I am interested to see if it will have more interesting things to do as it goes on.
Kogonada is directing the next episode, which is a very compelling choice to me; Columbus is one of my favorite films. I’m interested to see if any of his sensuous photographical style will translate on production design this overtly “loud”, if he was even able to imbue this with any of his own sensibilities. It seems to be primarily a flashback episode based on stills released on the official site.
Which also made me realize that Torbin looked so weird to me because he wasn’t actually an old man! That was Tommen from Game of Thrones lol. He’s probably going to play a big part in the flashbacks if he was cast, which also means it wasn’t a complete waste of Carrie-Ann Moss. The flashback timeline is probably pretty expansive.
