I always really liked these pieces. Mixing the mundane with scifi.

My friend does something similar and paints scifi elements on top of old boring prints from second hand stores. I’ll have to get a picture and share.

    Yeah…

    I know Tales From The Loop wasn’t for everyone but it did a remarkably good job of translating it. It felt like the show runners really “got” his work. The score, the cinematography, the pacing…I think it’s a beautiful series. It reminded me of Battlestar Galactica in the sense that the sci-fi was just the backdrop for the story, not the whole point of it.

    The trailer for The Electric State is one catchphrase away from being a Marvel movie. I don’t mean that as an insult to Marvel, though - it’s just the wrong aesthetic for a slow, grounded story by Simon Stalenhag.

      Giant robot explodes and the head lands 5 feet from Chris Pratt. He looks at the camera and says "well that just happened.

        I can’t bring myself to watch it again…did that actually happen? That unfortunately fits with my memory of the trailer…

            The worst part is…I really like Chris Pratt! I just think he’s poorly cast half the time
