133Guys, it's hard for you to understand how it looks from an unheated observer
I'm sorry if this hurts your feelings, but it's a fact.
Someone just looks at a new project and is slightly surprised.
That's all ) I'm silent..
This is not the first English project that I am watching.
If I didn't like it, I wouldn't turn it on, let alone watch 6 episodes at a time.
//He is just for those who are fans // - this is at least an exaggeration. How can we say that Cumberbatch projects are being filmed FOR Sherlock fans) this is an absurd statement. It's exactly the opposite. Only because the actor played a role that was loved by a certain percentage of the audience, he was invited to other projects. While he is on a wave of popularity - on the lips, in the press. Actors, on the contrary, dream of not being known as a hostage of one role, they go out of their way into depression if they are exploited in only one role.
Yes, the actor looks more like himself) his facial expressions and gestures will not go away from him. But he's not playing a conditional Doctor. Of course, there is an elite cinema not for everyone. but it's definitely not about this series)))
About "//It's just for those who are fans //", firstly, I just used your wording, and secondly, you only point to half of my comments about fans, completely missing the second part and, in principle, my message embedded in these words.
It was 200% predictable)
@Gurney, thanks for the support) but that's not what I'm talking about. There is nothing difficult to perceive in this work except for dragging and "white noise". It's like reading a picture book for children from 3 to 5 years old. Where there are 2 lines on each page of the text and everything else is a vivid illustration. do you understand) ? Here my mother is sitting on the bed, reading about the Antichrist boy, running her finger over the picture - you see, this toad has a bad one on his head, and this one looks cunningly and holds a fig in his pocket, he pretends to be bad..and so on
So I don't need to explain what the nuns thought, I already understood it in 1 second from the facial expressions and the presentation of the characters in the previous scene. Treating the viewer like a baby who needs to chew everything and put it in his mouth.
If a joke needs to be explained, it's not a joke anymore!
Yesterday, in 7 minutes of watching an episode of billions, I laughed more than in 6 hours of omens) And not because there is humor of another category, but because there is not this "and now I'm joking, I'm already joking, well, did you understand that I was joking? Are you sure? I will explain so that you understand exactly what I meant.".Get lost, you nerd..
English humor and slowness of narration are also different. It is doubtful that boredom is the main sign of elitism.
//the amount of voiceover text has decreased significantly// - I doubt that this will return to me those couple of hours of life that could have been saved if there was even less text)
Once again, I'm sorry that I spent time watching and reviewing.
The script doesn't seem that bad. that in order to understand him, you need to read a book
Here you see, it turns out that the first attempt at a film adaptation failed due to the fact that 1.5 hours did not contain the ENTIRE TEXT of the book. then as many as 2 channels joined together, chipped in and still managed to fit into 6 hours of the series, but as it turned out, not without losses..In general, the main advantage of the project is the verbatim quoting of the printed version, even if the actors are in a freeze frame at this time or stand stupidly and read monologues with indifferent faces trying not to spoil the makeup. Who is not in the subject and thought that this was entertainment content and not a monument to a well-known respected person in narrow circles - is guilty of not being involved in CA)))
We are being told here that corporations have removed this out of pure altruism, in tribute to genius, out of love for art, hastened by fo Doctors Hu and Authors Feng. That's the whole point of the discussion.
Dialogue between two Russians is up to idiocy:
- What exactly is going on?
- A coded message from the Kremlin. It looks like we have a war.
- With whom?
- What do you think?
- Ukraine?
- Continue...
- Uzbekistan?
- With everyone.
The dialogue became somehow prophetic.
Crowley inserted a Mozart CD, and the music smoothly turned into "Im in love with my car", right before entering the ring of fire
But wait, isn't doshik an angel's invention? It's the food of the gods!
The riders are just wow.... Hitting a hundred out of a hundred.
He had started this journey in his Bentley, and he was damned if he wasn`t going to finish it in the Bentley as well.
On the quiz machine, T Prachett took 1st place, and the rest were already reading
American Gods From a quarter of the soldiers on duty
The biker book characters who rode with the Riders were removed, but this is even better, they are a little superfluous
It was only when I saw it live that I realized what "Gaiman overdid it with maggots" means, that's for sure, huh
, I'm glad that they showed the scene in heaven with Aziraphale, just wonderful
Russian Russians wrote "Firebird" in English, but on the English plate they wrote "Firebird" in Russian
and, yes, the inserts of Queen are incomparable.
or about a conditional shoe: "we will go to heaven, and they just..."
I was touched even when he burst into the store, trying (once again!) Save Aziraphale, and then: "Somebody killed my best friend!"
It's already the fifth episode, and it still amazes me that
the burning highway, and the office workers killed by Hastur, and the man who told everyone the way, practically do not depart from the book in the order of events... only they decided to get rid of those bikers, but they were somehow useless in the book
"Somebody killed my best friend! Bastards! All of you!" How wonderful they are! How much Crowley loves him and will forgive him everything, and will be the first to meet him, even if he did not do anything wrong to him. And when did Somebody to love start playing?? Aaaaaah.
"When did you get here?"
"I never went away." — well, that's accurate.
"I lost my best friend."
"I'm so sorry to hear that." — gays, stop it. :(
I haven't read the book, but they complained above that Freddy wasn't there, but Freddy was??
21:15, "Satan: What did you do to the M25 was a stroke of demonic genius, darling." This "darling" just hit me. :'))) And immediately started playing "Are you ready, are you ready for this? <...> Another one bites the dust!"
I am very attracted to the fact that Crowley has an old (rare? classic?) a car, and at the same time it can maneuver and drive faster than all these modern ones. Atmospheric.
"Crowley has something no other demons have: an imagination. Right now, he's imagining that he's just fine, and that a ton of burning metal, rubber and leather is a fully functioning car. He had started the journey in his Bentley, and he was damned if he wasn't going to finish it in the Bentley as well." — VALID.
Crowley driving into the village in a burning car under We will rock you? Amazing.
"Aziraphale! I see you found a ride. Nice dress. Suits you." — Crowley's acceptance of everything that is happening is simple :') He will accept any Aziraphale, that's true love.
At some point, it started to remind me of Harry Potter and this glowing flying bike reminded me very much of the Prisoner of Azkaban :) And Adam with "We're Going to Need Bikes" — Stranger things.
Ewww larvae.
It's a crazy series. :')
Meanwhile, I still finished reading the book and I'm really sorry that they didn't show us the moment when Asiarfel TRIES on different bodies, and only what is in England suddenly turns out to be native to him. "There's only one country in the world that can say that," and that was home to him.
On the other hand, there was an important point:
"What are you gonna do? You can't possess them."
"Demons can."
Aziraphale CHOSE to be a fallen angel. He's never studied the same things as Crowley (and it just happened to Crowley), their magic is somewhat different, but it seems that somewhere out there, Aziraphale is beginning to realize that he and Crowley MAY be on their own side after all. And that, since he doesn't want to participate in this war and, like Crowley, can fight it, he can learn from it. I'm still drawn to their similarities and how well they fit together.
And I'm sorry that, yes, there was no remark that after two weeks in his car, any record turns into a Queen and Freddie Mercury record. Perhaps at least this "darling" and the reminder of Freddie were a kind of cameo of this idea.
Of course, it's unlikely that it feels like it's a reference to South Park)
I love everything here, from the insanely cool Tennant with flyers about moving to Hey Hey Gallifrey to the story of the series' creation (Neil Gaiman said he would have preferred all this time to write books rather than a script for the series, but when they walked after Terry's funeral, he decided that he'll do it and do it in a way that Terry might like) and until the last, calm and grandiose song by Tori Amos.
The characters are very charming. I don't want to find fault with anything. The absurdity of what is happening is majestic, beautiful, and delightful.
Thanks to Amazon for the budget, which English TV series probably haven't seen yet.
Once again <3
The metamorphosis from one art form to another cannot happen without certain sacrifices. In this case, the choice was between the atmosphere of the whole story and the cinematography. as for me, the creators made this choice correctly.
Crowley running to save a friend, and then coming out of a burning building to Somebody to Love, and Crowley driving into town in a burning Bentley to We Will Rock You - this is the best thing I've seen in years)
There was a joke in Sherlock about Anderson "lowering the IQ of the whole street"
katavasiya22 adapted this joke a bit for the actor's role in this series)

I really like the acting, especially in this episode, where David Tennant is in a burning bookstore and his collection of glasses
And another "Fuck" from Angel, it was epic.
Is Death in Omens the same as in the Discworld? He probably would have been stuck at the vending machine, too)
Michael Sheen also does a great job, the War is very beautiful with red hair, and in general the cast is very good, even the children give their best.
So far, I'm more than happy with everything, I hope the last episode will put a beautiful and crazy end to it.
Roger's "I am in love with my car" with a burning Bentley and a freaky Tennant - I never thought that I would even hear this song anywhere in the movies (with the exception of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 2018, where the band discussed it). I'm wondering if Roger and Brian themselves know that their songs were used in this series, and anyway, did they watch it? That would be wonderful. *______*
I watched the TV series first, then I read the book. And I watched the show again. It's just perfect!!! And the script is gorgeous, and the acting is excellent!
Hastur stopped being a pleasant character when his cadaverous worms gnawed at the call center staff.
Motorcycle riders are powerful. If you think about it, the children are also four riders, only on bicycles.
I feel sorry for the boy, because it really seems to the child that the adult world is big and wrong. The right age was chosen for the Apocalypse. Sadly.
The children reminded me of Hogwarts houses, including because of the colors of their clothes: Adam has a yellow (and white) T-shirt, the girl has a red jacket, the boy with glasses has a blue one, and the third boy has a green one. (Yes, and 11 years old... Time for letters! Ha ha!)
The faces of the British gunmen, when they first stared at the wall of fire, and then were blown away by the burning car and Crowley, are priceless.
Question: What didn't Crowley invent?! xD All the devilish inventions belong to him, right? And it was very sweet when they said that Crowley, unlike other demons, has an imagination. Lovely!
Are Russians speaking normally? Oh, my God!
The four horsemen, telling me about their plan, scared the shit out of me. No matter how much you know about what MIGHT happen, it's better not to imagine that it could ACTUALLY happen.
And, yes, ANDERSON!
Crowley, pathetically missing his best friend, is just mimi))
Well, the appearance of a burning Bentley is 5
P.S. I keep flowing from Tennant, he just pulls this series to some kind of transcendental level. I've adored him:3 since the days of the Doctor, but here he's completely different... Aah!! :3
Adam's friends were pleased, who, on the one hand, do not bend even under their leader, but think with their own heads, and on the other hand, even with the most impetuous behavior of their friend, they do not give up They're worried about him.
— with whom?
— what do you think?
— Ukraine?
— Continue...
Wow.
No, well, when he said "with everyone", then at the time of 2019 it would have sounded more plausible to me than with Ukraine
