It wouldn't really have made sense for him to have a physical form without the ring, though.

Yeah, but it still looks like it takes place mostly in a hotel. The other comment implied that a significant amount of the film looks like it's taking place somewhere else, or there's a trailer or description that makes it seem that way.

Instead of following franchises and getting excited about new films in them, maybe start following your favorite directors, and getting excited about new films from them?

>I’m genuinely confused on why people like these kinds of movies, when there’s more upbeat inspiring movie flicks.

Being upbeat and inspiring does not inherently make a movie better, for me.

I experience stories in order to have memorable emotional experiences. These can also be from "negative" emotions (tensions, sadness, fear, being disturbed). I can look back on those experiences with nostalgia.

>most people just need a positive perspective to tell them that life isn’t that bad and we should help people realize that no matter your circumstances you can always rise up.

I'm sure plenty of people have watched Taxi Driver and thought to themselves something along the lines of "well, at least I'm doing a lot better than this guy" and/or "damn, we really need to help people like these", instead of "life sucks"

What did he do that offended you that much?

Don't stop at Season 2. It was some weak parts, but it ends strong, and the movie + Season 3 are a return to form.

>Looks like it takes place all over the place

...based on what?

>I think there were also working on a live adaptation of an Anime as well.

They're set to produce (but not write, apparently) a Death Note live action series.

>peeing tom

Well, at least he wasn't a pooping tom

Were you able to finish Breaking Bad?

Also, S1 of Breaking Bad was probably a lot cheaper to make, in comparison to something like 1899 or the Dark Crystal series.

I also liked the varying opening credit songs for season 3.

>I really like shows with great writing, good acting, and character development

You'll get those.

>What I don’t like is a ton of Flashbacks and OTT visuals, etc.

It has some flashbacks, but they're not a large focus from what I recall.

As for over the top visuals, any examples of what you would consider as such?

I think it works fine on a re-watch.

>Ad Astra, okay this movie was kind of hot garbage but the directors cut has many additional scenes where it more thoroughly explains his mindset as he reflects on events/relationships he is trying to overcome and mentally grow as an individual.

Where's the director's cut available? I looked it up and only found articles about how the director wasn't happy with the theatrical cut.

Six Feet Under is an essential classic, and it has a good dose if humor and relatability to balance out the serious and dramatic aspects.

Him "stepping down" was announced 3 months before Season 2 started airing, and he has no writing credits for any of that Season's episodes.

Apparently the word "kill" wasn't considered marketable enough to a wide audience.

I've seen the film twice and I don't remember that scene.

Network executives screwed over series creators Frost and Lynch for most of the second season.

It's worth getting through, though. The end of the season is quite good, with Lynch properly taking the reins again, the movie "Fire Walk With Me" is dark but very good, and the third season "The Return"/"A Limited Event Series" is a total mindfuck.

That was in Alien 3, directed by David Fincher.
