Chatro News To Know

Oct 10, 2024
News for today: Updated at 12am ET

Just a quick little synopsis of what occurred recently in the news...

• First Hurricane Helene, and now Hurricane Milton is ripping through central Florida even as victims of Helene are still needing assistance. On top of that, a bunch of misinformation from idiots thinking they "know" things makes this country crazy at times.
• Joker: Folie à Deux takes over the #1 spot in box office from The Wild Robot, however, underperformed expectations regardless of its critical acclaim. The first movie was a slow but interesting take on the origins of the Joker, and this sequel looks equall as slow.
• October is in full effect so bring out your scary movies, TV shows, and watch em all. I know I am.

What I'm watching...

So I sit back and monitor Chatro, keep things going, and make sure the site keeps working as normal. So while I do that, I'm usually watching TV so I figured I'd share with you some things I'm watching while keeping tabs on Chatro. Why not right? Anyway, I'll keep the content here pretty much adult in nature so there won't be a lot of Disney (unless Marvel related) or cutesie shit here. Don't expect it either. I'm a big sci-fi, mystery, action movie, popcorn movie type of guy so with my eyes all over the streaming services, I figure I'd share what is out there.

WATCHING: The Rings Of Power - Prime Video - Season 2 - 8/10

The second season of the Lord Of The Rings related TV show has popped back up on my radar on Prime Video. This story takes place wayyy before The Hobbit trilogy which is the prequel to the Lord Of The Rings triology. Familiar names and characters (Sauron, Isildur, Elendil, etc) are apart of the series and it tells of the story of how the Rings of Power get created which leads to the introductory tale at the beginning of the LoTR trilogy. Some may not like the slow pace, some may not even like the characters but the world development is there, the character development is there, and the production value is top notch. I'll continue teo be watching it as Amazon wants to make this their flagship show the way Game of Thrones was for HBO/Max.

WATCHED: Terminator: Zero - Netflix - 8/10

This is a new anime series on Netflix that tells the story from the perspective of another plotline going on in Japan while Skynet is soon to do its thing in America. It brings up similar Terminator themes but explains time travel from an alternate reality standpoint instead of a linear definition as the old Terminator movies have done. The plot involves a very similar AI in Japan that is not online while Skynet is deciding to take over the world and its inventor has to decide if it should activate it and save Japan or leave it offline. Meanwhile, a rebel from the future returns to the present to keep safe the inventor and his family. Typical Terminator plot and it's not a spoiler since it's been done into the ground, but this spin from another vantage point was refreshing.

WATCHED: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners - Netflix - 9/10

I've been in an anime mood and checked out this title based on the popular video game, Cyberpunk 2077. It's raunchy, violent, like a lot of adult anime series but this is a limited series so no season 2 and beyond. It tells a concise story and you anime fans will enjoy if you haven't already seen it. I know I know, I'm behind.
