Pantheon season 1 is being added to Netflix tomorrow, but season 2 is not (and might never be). Both seasons are on Prime Video but it is region-locked, though I'm not sure which regions it is available in.

Pantheon is a fantastic sci-fi show with really smart themes that has been completely screwed over by streaming services. The writing is incredible and contains some very intelligent satire and critiques of big tech corporations, and even dips its toes into geopolitics (not even kidding, the Israel-Palestine conflict becomes a plot point in season 2, and this was written prior to Oct. 7).

If you want to watch the series in its entirety then piracy is a must for the vast majority. Needless to say, I highly recommend watching.

Not that I really care, but I just finished a rewatch of tenet and thought he might be a good fit. Loved him in the lighthouse and good time. Haven’t seen his Batman movie though.

Dune: Prophecy lacks the spice.

Started up season 2 of Avatar The Last Airbender and it occurred to me that I never skip the intro sequences for any episode of this show. It’s just so good.

What other show intros can you not skip?

(This interview between Mescal and Scott is brilliant.)

RS: [Elon] Musk will be the first one on Mars. He’s so far ahead of bureaucracy he can make decisions.

PM: But he’s also innately attached to modern-day bureaucracy.

RS: I don’t wanna really go there because I think there’s something even worse down the line. The world in Blade Runner is run by two people and we’re heading in that direction, if not worse.

And with AI, the first thing you ask of it is to design an AI smarter than itself. Then you get one smarter than you are. At what moment do you overload it with so much information it gets pressure? Pressure is emotion. And when that thing’s emotional, we are in trouble. If the AI doesn’t like us, we’re in deep shit. They could switch us off for fun.

PM: And then it’d be game over.

RS: Are you kidding? You’d be medieval in six weeks. You switch that off and we are so helpless it’s crazy. Have you got candles in your house? Have you got matches? I have candles, matches and guns because I live in LA. Do I ever want to use a gun? God forbid no, but you ought to be always slightly conscious of where the world is going right now.

arguably (prove me wrong!) one of stallones best movies.

the entire subsequent rambo franchise feels like a farce compared to the original.. they dont even feel part of the same universe.

gritty.. realistic without being over the top (remember that one?!). a good movie makes you feel, and this movie makes me so angry. the revenge is almost justified.

being the early 80s the political fallout of vietnam was still hot on everyones minds. ostracized vets a serious reality.

the small town redneck sheriff always makes for a great villain. that ignorant evil is a valid antagonist even today. brian dennehy was amazing. you just want to punch him in the face. if you look close you can spot a baby faced david caruso.

so what do you peeps think of this masterpiece?

I don't trust IGN in this case.

They gave The Penguin a 5.

Rapman has gone from making breakout YouTube project Shiro's Story, to creating one of Netflix's most successful UK series this year, Supacell.

Fans have been waiting for series comeback since 2015

China’s state broadcaster has launched a historical TV show with an all-star cast dramatizing the role of President Xi Jinping’s father Xi Zhongxun in the communist revolution, although social media reaction and commentators suggest that young people in China would rather watch “Stranger Things.”

So he's, what, making people choke on his abacus beads? Not quite…

Had recently watched the 1970 Movie and found the following [trivia from IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066026/trivia/

*According to Johnny Mandel and Robert Altman, the film's famous theme song was intended to be the "stupidest song ever written." After attempting to write the lyrics himself, Altman said he found it too difficult to write "dumb enough," and instead gave to the task to his fourteen-year-old son. Mike Altman allegedly wrote the lyrics in five minutes, not even expecting to be paid, since he was the director's son. He ended up making millions in royalties off the song.

The fourteen-year-old son of director Robert Altman, Mike Altman, wrote the lyrics to the theme song "Suicide is Painless." Because of its inclusion in the subsequent television series, he continued to get residuals throughout its run and syndication. His father was paid $75,000 for directing, but his son eventually made about $2 million in song royalties, with payments continuing, from first syndication through the present day, as MASH (1972) continues in syndication around the world.

General questions, the backstory is I just found out that The Brutalist was at the Savannah Film Festival, and I feel like I really missed out on both seeing it and seeing the panels with the actors. I don't really know how to follow these things though, so as a fairly newby into the film world, what is the best way to follow events?

How do I know that there is a premier near me, or what they're showing? Not saying I want to go to everything, but it'd be nice to know if there are things going on that I would like to attend. Is there a way to do this at a larger/national scale? It's incredibly frustrating, I google something like "Brutalist Film Festivals" and the results are all celebrity rags about past events, how do I find out where they're going to be next?
