Like Thiago Silva, the protagonist of the series does not ensure as much as it should

So-called main character, charismatic, driving force, it does not meet expectations. And he sees his partners, supposedly secondary, steal the show.
Whose fault is it ? Good question. The actor with the game too dull, the dialogues rewound, the scenes badly tied … However, this character to be the star of the series is not, does not meet all expectations. Examples.
Peter Petrelli (“Heroes”)
Clearly a problem in writing the script. Planned for a single season, the series is tearing apart. As a result, the success is massive. As a result, producers do not want to stop and continue to fuck their pockets full. Except that the plot was scheduled over a season, the characters saw their destiny tip and their role ended there. Rather than going back on something new, while trying to keep a formula close, the guys have brought back the initial characters. Including Peter Petrelli. That tires everyone and occupies too much room, without letting others develop . Frankly, it was enough to choose one and give him a chance. There, it did not rhyme any more, it was wobbly, it could be seen. Then it’s completely gone in the end. The inevitable happened. Pity,
Malcolm (eponymous series)
Central character of the series and the family – there is only to see the title to confirm it, eh -, Malcolm remains however in withdrawal. We all have crazy memories with Reese, Hal, Francis or even Dewey for the more distant seasons, when this one grew and begins to really make his own. The little disdainful gaze and the sarcastic remarks of the little genius end up weary , and merely by less laughter than the exploits of other characters. Less complex, too predictable, the young gifted become plaintive teen loses charm gradually.
Peter Griffin (“The Griffins”)
It is clear that no character in this series is supposed to be worshiped, loved, in the sense that they are all bastards. Besides, rather than laughing with them, we spend more time laughing at them. But this is the goal of the author, Seth MacFarlane, so we kiffe. Except Peter, which ends up becoming more aggressive and limiting, than funny . As Mayor Adam West tore, with his caustic humor and obscure pop-culture references. It perfectly represented the absurdity of the show, it would have deservedly deserved to be the protagonist.
Oliver Queen (“Arrow”)
The most interesting part is told by flashback. That is to say how Oliver passes from the irresponsible spoiled young man to a mature and determined man. Afterwards, the series galley a little because it has already arrived at its final state. It is what it is, it no longer changes. Its variations and evolutions concern only its capacity to kill or not to assume it or not . Pity. While other characters like Arsenal (Roy) or the Black Canary (Laurel) really evolve before our eyes, from simple human beings to devoted fighters against crime. Which one did you most drunk?

These series that finish so nazi way that you feel cheated (e)

sivertime — Wed, 15 Mar 2017 19:52:15 +0000

Logically, the whole story before has been thought, narrated, to come to this conclusion. So when it stinks, you’re rather disappointed.
“The important thing is not the fall, it’s the landing” , as this phrase says in “La Haine”. As for these TV series, the landing proved to be catastrophic. In the sense that you have the unpleasant impression that he was not well prepared, anticipated, “that one had to finish in a way then hop one sways that and it is good” … No. Unfortunately, this is not good. Not here.
Weeds
Written by Jenji Kohan (also behind “Orange is the new black”), the series detonated and cardboard. A woman finds herself confronted with the premature death of her husband and must manage to complete the end of the month, suddenly. Then Nancy launches into the weed deal, and we discover wacky characters: Andy, Doug, Guillermo, his two sons Silas and Shane … For three seasons, we type bars. Then it calms down, turns round and leaves as a lollipop . And at the end, boom: a small shot, sitting in front of a porch, they promise that everything will go well from now on. That’s all ? No evidence, no arguments? Just a promise and it’s settled. Good, ok …
“Do you think it goes?” – “Boh, it’ll go, mouse!”
The Sopranos
Typical debates and criticism that causes an open end. Some like, others hate. Here, in the end, we see Tony in a very banal restaurant, with his family. He spotted a dumb guy, or worried him at least. Tony is not serene, he watches the guy go to the toilet. One understands that he fears to be shot in a few seconds, the guy weapon in hand . And bim, fade black, everyone is packing up. So yes, the end is thoughtful and pushes people to get their opinion. And it confronts them with the horrible feeling of insecurity and paranoia inherent in the life of mafioso. But some fans did not like it at all …
Sex & The City
Small precision: we are talking about series for failed purposes. Not mythical series for the purposes that disappointed us. Because we’re not going to lie either, Sex & The City has never been the series of the century. However, it had its audience, its followers and its history carried them for years. Mainly that of Carrie, who does not find the man of his life, abandons the idea of marrying. Intelligent, independent, beautiful, she assumes and finds her happiness otherwise: by contenting herself with sleeping here and there, leading her life as a bachelor as she sees fit. And she’s right. Except in the end, Mr Big disembarks on his white horse, like a savior, and she jumps on the occasion like Suarez on a well tended shoulder. All that for this.
My uncle Charlie
We are in front of two children. Two kids. We could almost say two cons but we are not like that. In this case, screenwriter Chuck Lorre and lead actor Charlie Sheen. This last fucked the brothel, left the series, negotiated bastard extensions, put the series in the shit of his behavior and his life a little too dissolute (in alcohol and drugs). We agree. Alas, instead of being more intelligent, the other has found nothing better in the last episode than to insult him and mock him by releasing a piano on his character and swinging: “I won! ” High level. And a lack of respect for the fans who had typed twelve seasons and hundreds of hours of viewing to see the story end up as well.
True Blood
Since the beginning of the story, the atmosphere was tense. Black. Stressful. A lot of shit, tangles, ramifications. So things to clear up at the end, decisions to make. Let the spectator know with whom Sookie finishes for example. Eric or Bill? And what about Lafayette? Instead, the series ends on a scene where everyone seems happy, including Sookie who is obviously pregnant but we do not know who because the guy is back … How to dodge and leave the fans alone, chapter 1 Lesson 1. And Lafayette, we see it done quickly, as if it had no importance in history. Hard.
Probably the most annoying and disappointing. For years, Dexter kept us in suspense, we were passionate about the character. His duality, his complexity, his difficulties … We were with him brothel, he had to get there, get out. At last it was thought that he wanted and could, to live with Hannah and his son Harrison. It was within reach, after doing so much harm. And then, the guy decides not. Okay, so let’s admit. But in this case, it really stumbles . He understands that he will remain a monster, no longer supports all the evil he does (especially the death of his sister Deb) and fucks himself in the air. Okay. But no, Dexter just goes to hang out alone, in Alaska, like a cunt, and does not do anything. Anything … He abandons his family, does not kill any more, in short it serves no purpose, Behaves like a coward and flees. The very opposite of what Dexter has been up to now … Which made you the most enervated ?

Fortunately, these reboots of series quickly went to the scrappage

sivertime — Tue, 14 Mar 2017 19:30:44 +0000

Repeating a story and continuing it at any cost, in one way or another, rarely remains a good idea. These series have confirmed this.
They almost missed all our good memories. We began to get excited, to see our nostalgia replaced by a kind of visceral disgust, and it was going to eat us from the inside. We do not say thank you to those responsible for these failed reboots. But thanks to those who promptly canceled and arrested them.
Heroes Reborn
At the beginning of the original, in 2006, the subject and the universe were unique, different. Which is a challenge today. Find an idea that does not seem to be a nth already seen a little remixed and adapted. It was even before Christopher Nolan impressed us with his Batman. Here, no cape, superhero, comic book names . For a most convincing result. So why try a reboot to 2 € in 2015? Too many characters, badly constructed more, and a villain who stinks the shit. No, no way. Phew was quickly cut short.
Beverly Hills Cop
The creators surely said, “It’s in the old pots that we make the best jams, do not we?” And hop, boom, idea of genius: to spit a police series (it is the fashion) based on the adventures of Axel Foley. This uncontrollable, crazy cop and yet effective, embodied Eddy Murphy in movies 90s . Except that there, the plan was to do something with Shawn Ryan, creator of “The Shield”, “The Chicago Code” and “Last Resort”. That is, serious and dramatic stuff. A hair opposite the original spirit, mid-comedy-mi action. We escaped, thank you.
$ 200 plus expenses
In the 1970s, this former detainee who was the victim of a miscarriage of justice who became a private detective was successful. Then the NBC, in search of program, said: why not? Produced by Steve Carrell, the series would have installed Dermot Mulroney as protagonist. Above all, the series ( “The Rockford Files” in VO) was intended household 50, bah yeah, meanwhile, since their twenties, they have aged , like everyone else. Fortunately, the pilot was so faulty that the guys ended the delirium right away. Without being a businessman, because some would like to make a film, with Vince Vaughn.
The Osbournes
After four seasons to follow the lively life of the rocker’s family, we had more or less made the tour. Well, we’re not going to lie. The episodes had already been going on for so long. Shit, I said aloud. In short, in 2015, to celebrate the tenth anniversary, the creators were sure we wanted to start again, we expected a reboot . No. Ozzy has not done anything since, his children logically barred from the family home, Sharon and Kelly are working on another series … And then no, we just did not feel like it. No need for explanations.
Funny ladies
The 1970s (Charlie’s Angels) was a boxboard, and the films that were drawn afterwards respected the spirit. Some pretty girls, but not that. Of humor, an alchemy between them, a charismatic boss, nested stories … In 2011, ABC has managed to collect three actually beautiful women. But otherwise, move along, there’s nothing to see . Besides, the viewers have circulated on their own, without further ado, rather quickly. So much so that the series was stopped after only four episodes.
The Flintstones
The creator of “American Dad”, “Les Griffin” (“Family Guy” in VO) was hot. Boiling. Seth MacFarlane had always loved the Flintstones, so bringing his paw in a reboot was a big challenge. And a pleasure. Unless one knows his penchant for humor and the construction of a family in the grip of a father a tad heavy . Then the director of the Fox told him the bottom of his thoughts about his plans for Caillouville: “it’s going, but I’m not a fan”. Basically. End of the story. Finally, it’s not bad plans that fall to the water sometimes?

When Hollywood talks about “big”, it’s not high level

sivertime — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 17:21:51 +0000

We feel the will to do well, to denounce the treatment against obese people. But it is so awkward that it is missed.

It’s easier said than done, we agree. The subject is sensitive, the pitfalls to avoid many, easy criticism. Well, when you attack this kind of project, you know it, then you work accordingly to remain irreproachable. Now, these films give the unpleasant impression of having been made over the leg, just to make laughing handsome, sometimes to the detriment of the people supposed to be defended. The shot of the happy end to cover and excuse everything else is not always enough .
Pitch Perfect
First thing you do not cut: Amy sees himself recalculated directly by the Barden Bellas, the women’s music group of the university. Not even a chance, go hop, the big she clears! Then, to compensate for his physical, she is forced to act goofy way without stopping , to make people laugh and make friends. And last but not least , in the movie, it presents squarely in the sweet name of “Fat Amy” Amy fat what.
Love actually
A film where the theme is to be interested in all forms of possible love between human beings is beautiful. And it’s pretty well done. But where it stops, it’s about the Prime Minister played by Hugh Grant. The guy does not question the fact of going out with a woman much younger than him, nooooo, that’s normal , it is the basis, but rather on the width of her buttocks and her chubby side (compared to A skeleton, yes). That works on the contrary.
Professor Foldingue
So yes, the movie ends up in happy end with Sherman Klump who happens to be loved for what he is, without artifice, with his overweight. And fortunately, because the whole film is seen to give up love, saying simply that he does not deserve it. Wholesale reflex, what. And vicious circle for those who see it young and already lack confidence. When you see it in college, bah you and all the rest rather retain the casanova side of his slender alter ego Buddy Love than anything else.
The Colo des gourmands
Gerry Garner happens to be overweight and does not like his parents, who send him to a camp during his summer vacation. Baptized Camp of Hope, this one consists in regrouping children considered too big and to submit them to a program mixing sport and diet in order to lose weight. Obviously unable to control themselves, the kids are feints to order pizzas, sodas and other quality foods, while avenging Tony, the chief torturer . Finally, rid of Tony, the kids will make efforts under Pat, the new cool boss who insists more on fun than competition, blabla … What was the message actually? It’s confused. Must be fat or not? Is it cool or not?
Extra-large love
Hal only strikes women beautiful, that is to say thin in fact, it is a principle. It was even a recommendation from his father on his deathbed, so the son runs to make him proud of the afterlife. Well, I suppose. Until the day when Tony, a guru hypnotizes and makes him see that the inner beauty of women . And bim, he falls in love with Rosemary, though much bigger than he accepted before. Should it be lost, possessed, mad to get there? The question will have an answer when the spell is broken. Who also asked about these films?

Not too many good resolutions for 2017, we still want to see beautiful cracks

sivertime — Fri, 30 Dec 2016 18:25:49 +0000

As usual, we will wish ourselves full of good things, it will stink the kindness. But you need improbable tricks, slips, as these actors did.

Charlie Sheen
Very strong, it takes people to the frontiers of reality. And of course, without playing, without preparing his shot. As often, he teased the drink and other substances until finishing unconscious in his hotel room, with a chick enclosed in his toilet. An evening that went badly and which cost him his place in the series “My uncle Charlie” that cardboard. While sending her to a detox center ‘.
Christian Bale
Recognized as one of the best actors at the moment, the Welsh is also able to leave away without script. On the set of “Terminator Renaissance” a technician made him mad by dint of returning to the stage to adjust the light. Bale finally said he could not concentrate because of it (say, it is admissible) then pick up on a monologue of more than 3 minutes during which he blazed all the crew. A beautiful monologue that was recorded and went well afterwards.
Amanda Bynes
No need to be a reference to fart cables. The actress of “Robots”, “Love to the drift” or “Hairspray” meets regularly problems with the marechaussee. A kind of “I do not love you either”, where love and hate are never very far … Some highlights: stopped phone at the wheel, she bar before the cop gives him his fine, Go back to the station. Or a little rubbing on one of their car. Or refusal to blow into the balloon and asked Obama himself to transfer the bad cop who lied about his condition … Otherwise there’s also leak offenses of driving without a license. A real.
Mel Gibson
He has always had warm blood and an unfortunate tendency to see conspiracies everywhere. Suddenly, when policemen tell him that he is driving dangerously on the Pacific Coast Highway, a little quick, Mel Gibson sees it as a stubbornness. He tells his life in mode “I’m already not well ouinouin” before threatening kind “I have the arm long, I will avenge”. Not glorious but nothing serious. After a cons … Suddenly, the old hero of “Mad Max” fate as the Jews are responsible for all wars and asks one of the Schmitts if any one . I think it’s called a skid. Not controlled. And we do not want to see Mel again. Find something softer.
Shia Labeouf
A genius that will be understood only in decades, vilified today, incensed tomorrow. Well, maybe. In any case it has the potential. Arrest in an airplane because stuffed (and noisy) sky, freestyle rap rap or radio, directed by himself matting movies for 24 hours in a movie theater, the actor of “Wall Street: The money never sleeps “or” Fury “surprises up and down. Including the festival carpet, as in 2014 in Berlin for the film Nymphomaniac, it arrives with a bag over his head, with this message: “I’m not known” . Why ? Because he had misjudged the criticisms on the social networks. So, there, he sulked.
Mathieu Kassovitz
Cocorico! The director who exploded twenty-one years ago with “La haine” now makes French PAF. For better and for worse. As for pure art, he knows how to do, no worries. On the other hand, when taking a position, it usually stings. Kassovitz frequently shoots at the mouths of “comrades” of the cinema and fucks royally from their reactions. Sometimes, the one who is also actor now likes to give his opinion on the news, for the pleasure. As when Kim Kardashian was sequestered and stolen recently in Paris. It’s totally free and you feel like he’s kiffe. Come on, forecasts about who could slip in 2017?
