Cowboy Bebop (2021)
Perspective and respect both missing
Great job remaking a pop culture iconic show.
I/We are huge fans of the anime and the movie.
It's crystal clear that the humans that worked on this remake did an incredible job.
Perspective people!
The original anime was on another level up - When it released in 1998.
The opening sequence of the movie is pure movie making magic - For 2001.
The cynical nitwits bashing this redo are lacking real perspective. Do they really think the live actions version needs to mimic the anime 20 plus years later? They'd be griping the the show was a lame hack job if it did.
This show started tentatively and found it's feet by about the third ep. Hoo rah, that was speedy. We love what they did. The world building and new storyline deviations from the original are solid and interesting. The new versions of the old characters works just fine. By the end of the season I really wanted to see where they were going next. Very disappointed to not get the opportunity to see where it goes.
IMHO they could have been more creative on the cursing. I personally don't care but apparently it tilted some people. This show could have found a median where the cursing wasn't cartoony but maybe a bit less harsh. Lots of room in futureistics to play.
The character Spike alienated audience when he killed the young witness. I also thought he lost audience when he took his brother's girl. That might have been out of character too.
I know and get exactly why the writers did both of those actions. It just seems to me they could have accomplished the same things more creatively. I was so hoping he would give us reason to redeem him and not getting the next season just makes it all the more painful.
I'm pissed the show didn't get a second season. It was on the verge of blooming into a great experience that would stand tall alongside the anime.
I wish to thank the crew, physical and digital, that created everything behind the cast. What a brilliantly crafted eyeful! Incredible!
Many thanks to the cast. You all did wonderfully and don't ever think you didn't do it right. We are completely invested and care about your characters.
Boo on the Network for not having balls enough to follow through another season to wrap up the threads. And here's why; You think what you hear about a show is what people think. WRONG. You are only hearing from the vocal ones. The vast majority of the audience expects the creator folks to do good works, expects to enjoy and find value in what they consumed, creators go on to create other good works, and on it goes. You will never hear from the audience. You only hear from the loudmouths. And they tend to armchair quarterback largely just to hear themselves.
So yet again a network cancels a show before its time not caring that it just spaced the audience. We don't forget the lack of respect we've been shown. The network will reap the same.
I've worked in the biz. I have a clue how hard it is to make good content. I'm grateful for, and tip my hat to, all the mega talented folks that created Cowboy Bebop, all versions.
Peace.
The Space Between Us (2017)
Not that bad
Okay, I'm old school dude. Like Golden Age of Science Fiction old. Maybe I'm too tolerant. But I'm not the only one! There is a lot of slamming going on here. The truth is this isn't a bad movie. If you want to be cynical then go right ahead and not enjoy yourself. This isn't science fiction. It's fantasy. Most of the gripes I read are legit. There are plenty of things that aren't scientifically correct. The plot is a new twist on an ancient concept. It's a STORY. I like the movie because it was fun to watch. Entertaining. And for a change, not a shot was fired except for rockets. So cut it a little slack and go in and be entertained.
