As a person who has watched all of the show, I 100% do not see the optimism in the concept of "giving the same showrunner/writer and the same star a slightly-bigger budget to do 3 2-hour films on the same station", even putting aside that this same team has done entire 15+ hour seasons where plot and location has progressed on a minuscule basis at best from premiere to finale
The only person I am happy for in all of this is Andrew Lincoln, who is getting his in a major way
He's getting an even bigger payday for less work
I do think it is real scummy to hype up RICK GRIMES' LAST EPISODE and then announce, literally the same day it airs, that it is only technically his last episode because he is switching to TWD movies.
I largely found the first two Resident Evil movies to be their own brand of a boring slog, but I guess that's not totally dissimilar from large swaths of the game series as well

That's WWE levels of carny bullshit
But that's on AMC, not Lincoln
Just to give it an extra layer though, it wasn't just the same day
The press release went out literally the minute the episode finished airing

They don't age well.

I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
I'm in a hostile environment. I'm totally unprepared. And I'm surrounded by a bunch of guys who probably want to kick my ass... it's like being back in high school.

I stopped watching the show before the Negan content started occurring.
I saw the article pop up after the episode aired and it was.. kind of impressive.
Andrew Lincoln has been working on this since season four. He and Scott M. Gimple never actually thought they could get it done.
Andrew wanted to spend more time with his family, but he was not ready to stop playing Rick. Its really interesting stuff, but like Blank said, the marketing behind it was kinda misleading.

We got a guy with things comin' out of his hands, we got another guy who freezes stuff, and then there's a man, who as far as I can tell, is made out of electricity. I mean, how did he disappear like that? What is goin' on here? WHO IS THIS GUY?

in watching tv news, I now near the end of halt and catch fire
got only two eps left
i was recently made extremely emotional by the show. haltandcatchheads? you know what I'm talking about
i'll see how this sits with me after the fact, when the show has some time to steep, but it's done an amazing, and very resonant, moving job of showing long-term growth and change in this core group of people and their ever-shifting relationships, despite my wife and i just calling the show "computers" and always starting a description of the show off with "well there's... it's the 80s. and people get really passionate about technology in it."

Halt and Catch Fire’s last two seasons are great and the fourth one is just unbelievable. The way the show handles the moment you’re referring to really impressed me.
My only real complaint about the fourth season is when they needle drop “Summer Babe” and match the “eating her fingers” lyric with Cam actually biting her nails.

If I drop this rock from my hand I GUESS it could float up to the ceiling instead of falling to the floor, you never know
Lord knows I've been optimistic about dumber shit
Gilbert Dauterieve is a top-3 all time TV character for me.

Well, it takes all kinds to make a world, they say
On a behind the scenes level of Paul WS Anderson's increasingly complex love ballads to his Milla Jovovich? I agree.
But on a strictly story level I'm gunna guess I probably wouldn't agree.
(only seen the first)
This is where I'm torn between "best" vs "most entertaining"

I honestly can never recall
Gus you gotta watch all of 'em
That's WWE levels of carny bullshit

I like the second Silent Hill film more than the first Resident Evil. I don't remember much about the first Silent Hill tbh

"Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole."
Yeah that can be a difficult distinction to make but in this case Castlevania is both
I'm just saying I want some more info before I completely write them off.

You guys should check it out.
I may watch the first movie to see how it is, Andrew Lincoln was one the few things i missed from the show.
