OT: Sci-Fi and Fantasy Thread - SPOILERS Part Three

[Chicken N Raffls]

She turned down the role Cameron Diaz plays in gangs of New York to be Buffy

Wait, SMG turned that down?

According to IMDB.
Scorsese wanted to do the movie back in 78 and was going to have Dan Aykroyd as Amsterdam and Belushi as The Butcher

I'm glad he waited, but man. What could have been. Also was a big Geller fan back then, just surprised she'd get offered a role like that. Don't remember anything she did that wasn't more young adult genre.

She was already Buffy for years before Gangs of NY went into production..

Just going off what I read. Since he supposedly wanted to do it since 78 I can see him having his choice of actors a ton of different times.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

After Season 1 I was pretty worried about the next season of Wheel of Time...but I think Season 2 has actually been pretty good. It's definitely doesn't line up 100% with the books and I'm curious how easy/hard it would be to follow as a non-book reader but I think it's head and shoulders better than the slop that was Season 1.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Ahsoka delivers again. This show is fantastic.

 

[Rebels57]

Another fantastic episode of Ahsoka. Ray Stevenson has been incredible as Baylin. What an interesting character, and what a tragedy that he passed away.

 

[Flybynite]

Was looking at a recap after having watched ep 6 and saw one of the new characters introduced

Spoiler

The gold mask stormtrooper is voiced by Wes Chatham who was Amos in the Expanse... I'm pretty sure it's him under the armor as well because it definitely looked 'stockier' than a regular stormie.

Best character on The Expanse

Bobbi and Holden were insufferable. Naomi was terrible. The cyborg implant chick was forgettable.

And that pilot was the worst.

Avasarala was a close second to Amos. Followed by Miller.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Avasarala was a close second to Amos.

People need to stop casting her and pretending that she speaks decipherable English (and I know as well as anyone that it's not easy for a non-native speaker to manage). There's nothing wrong with her acting, but holy shit. Lock her in a room with elocution tapes.

LMAO, I thought it was just me. Her voice is just the absolute worst.

So are the accents of the Belters, which ruined the show for me.

I was sticking to the crew. She was fantastic

 

[Lord Defect]

Wait who was Miller? Thomas Jane? I liked him.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Avasarala was a close second to Amos. Followed by Miller.

Those two FINALLY getting a chance to interact was amazing.

“Just lean back, and walk like you’re wearing pumps.”
”How the f*** do you know how to walk in pumps?”
“I didn’t always work in space…”


Top tier stuff.

The belter accent and speaking was tremendously frustrating. I was very interested in their ordeal and the bodily effects of low-g, but God it was awful listening to them... Especially when a bunch were together.

I stopped watching the show because of it. I don't have @Captain Dave Poulin pain tolerance lol

After that you have Secret Invasion and should be caught up. I think Loki Season 2 is next to be released this fall.

Did you watch the Werewolf By Night special yet?

No, not yet. I don't have to watch "She-Hulk" or "Groot" right?
