I think this is normal behaviour for lone viewing. With others though, audible laughter is an inevitability and is infectious by nature. A room full of people sitting silently through a comedy means it isn't funny. I last experienced this phenomenon during Rat Race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,292 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 GOT S7E6. I realise a lot happened, but the first half hour didn't really meet my expectations. I did love Tyrion when he was pleading with Dany not to go, but am wondering why she needs a hand if she no longer wants to listen to his advcie. Also very curious as to whether Daenerys has realised she and Jon are related yet. The audio commentary certainly seems to imply that, so I'm thinking maybe she's not broken the news to him yet because she doesn't want him to stand in her way (though, come to think of it, that wouldn't be something for Jon to do). And he finally bended the knee! Bravo. Also, how stupid is Arya! That's just not realistic. Really disappointed in that twist, but then again her storyline started to become boring the moment she started training with the Faceless Men.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I don't know, man. Could be something like: "Daenerys gently looks at Jon, as if she feels a special connection to him" or something to that effect. bollemanneke, care to enlighten us?

bollemanneke 3,292 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Oh yes, sorry. BloodBoal is right. It was during the final moments where she's by his bedside, or just before that. The narrator suddenly went: 'She looks at Jon as if suddenly realising something'. So I thought: she realised he survived the assault, aka he's got special powers like her (resisting fire), aka they are related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 36,977 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 I don't think Jon is fireproof like she is And yea, she probably just realizes she's in love with him or something like that.

KK 3,304 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Riverdale was some bad shit. Angsty teenage drama fluff glossed over with high production values and dressed up like "Golden Age TV". If anything, shows like that are heralding the end of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,295 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 That's exactly why Drax will love it. I'm having a hard time finishing Westworld.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The Expanse. First 3 eps. Solid pulp sci-fi mystery by the looks of it. Visually ambitious, probably a bit more than it's budget allows. Mixture of cop noir and cold war political intrigue. Most of the main cast are unknowns apart from Thomas Jane, who moves though the plot, and the locations of a remote space colony with a disarming nonchalance. Invested without being blown away. But I'll finish the first season for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But outside of the terrific main theme, his Game of Thrones music is a massive pile of shite. Incidentally, after sitting through almost the entire first season of The Strain (my new Walking Dead alcove), I was most surprised to finally catch Djawadi's name show up in the opening credits the other night. It suddenly occurred to me that all these hours in and I hadn't even paid attention to the musical soundtrack this show has. I don't even know what it sounds like. That's a measure of this guy's influence and competence as a score composer. Literally invisible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using pop music in film or a TV series doesn't have anything to do with not trusting a composer but with aiming for a different effect or feeling. But you know that, right?

publicist 4,643 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 But that's not really the mandate. It's just that a lot of tv makers have been breastfeeded on this kind of popular needle droppings (blame Scorsese and Tarantino). From what i've read in composer interviews a lot of younger filmmakers trust their own record collections much more than the instincts of a musical collaborator. It shows.
