Regarding the , did anyone ever make the link with the anagram "EU Omnia"? (Omnia being latin for all or everything) Essentially meaning that this everywhere or wants to capture all?

( Its hard not to say that the EU wants to be an all encapsulating totalitarian state. )

I've been in love with Manjaro for 2 years now. No argument managed to sway me to move away... but now... this picture... makes me reconsider...

Now Warhammer is becoming more activistic and shitting on their fans I've been thinking about creating my own universe, my own game, with a ruleset and publish it all online. Lore, rules, models... The entire shebang as a competitor.

While watching I saw Faye Valentine in a spaceship crashing towards some planet and she mutters: " To the lucky pervert who finds my body. "

Bitch, you aren't even attractive alive, why would you think the person finding you would be attracted to her generic mangled corpse?

I should expand on this a bit.

Who ever plays Spike is close to retirement age and the character should have been casted a younger actor. I am going to assume it's a western storytelling thing in which they write and cast old and believable characters that are able to do the job in which you end up with some 30 something guy in action flicks. In Eastern storytelling it centers around some 15 year old kid that is young and inexperienced that will learn and grow into the thing he needs to do. In thehe anime dude was in his mid-twenties, which is a believable age.

Jet Black, I don't mind the race-swapping in this case. What bothers me more is how cartoonish and fake he looks. The beard is a nice throwback to the original, but don't make it all look like plastic. Als, grow a spine.

Faye Valentine, what have they done to my girl? The character is lacking her sexy feminine esthetic along with her smart prowess. Instead we have some generic and cocky Hollywood dime of a dozen socialite.

Then the setting. For some weird and messy whatever genre, everything is rather clean. Yes some clothes look worn, but it still seems intact and really clean. You would expect random props in interior shots and a dirty world on the outside. And both look really clean, minimalist, but really boring. Like no trash, no objects that tells you it has been lived in nor in or outside.

The fighting scenes are boring or terribly choreographed. Maybe it's the movie I watched the evening before, or Banshee the series, but what I see here is slow, predictable and boring in comparison and it looks like a simple fight, I wish to see combat.

There is more, but that's for another time.

I am watching Cowboy Bebop live-action adaptation on Netflix, regarding the jokes...

In season 3 the character Kurt Bunker gets introduced. He has a troubled path and he wears it on his skin, but I get the feeling he is going to play an important role in future episodes. I am curious what this flawed but ultimately interesting character is going to do in the future.

Show thread

I've started watching . The first two seasons can be summarized as: Drink! Fight! Fuck! The story is pulp and it just action for action's sake. Fucking for the imagery (and it makes me moist AF, holyshit its hot). Its all fun and games and its an enjoyable little show if you don't want anything complex.

And then season 3 hits. Shit gets really dark and the cinematographic really ramps up the psychological aspect of it all and it does this really well. The darker undertones become really visible and it does this really well.

I haven't finished season 3 yet, but I am looking forward to watching the remainder of this season.
