now this is just a philosophical point but wouldnt people watching netflix while playing mean that your game isnt interesting or engaging enough. now dont take that as criticism on you personally or anything its just a thought.
I just tested it and (surprisingly!) got the same result; even though the engine is outputting hundreds of frames, the whole thing is jerky and the behaviour is cyclical. And there are no CPU / GPU utilisation spikes.
Quentin Tarantino films might polarize some audiences, but the household I grew up in was not one of them. My father, like many of his peers, is still a dedicated fan of the Quentin Tarantino arts. The man even refuses to step into movie theaters unless his boy Tarantino has served up something fresh to enjoy.
Lucky for my dad, there are a good amount of his films are readily available to stream. However, that is about to change for Netflix later this month, when not one but two Taraninto epics will be pulled out of rotation. Thank goodness for physical media, am I right?
The first film was released on October 10th, 2003, and was initially intended to be released as one gigantic action epic. Plans changed, and the first volume landed to rave reviews, $180,000,000 at the box office, and a Golden Globe nomination for Thurman.
Volume 1 was written and directed by Tarantino and featured the acting chops of Thurman, Lucy Lui, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, David Carradine, and the undated Julie Dreyfus. The style of the first film varies greatly from the second and features influences from martial arts films, samurai cinema, and even 1970s American blaxploitation.
While there has been chatter about a potential third chapter in the Kill Bill series for literally decades, as of 2023, Tarantino seems to have set rumors to rest, stating that a third film was not happening.
Rating high on any list of most anticipated sci-fi releases of the year is director Zack Snyder's "Rebel Moon," a once discarded "Star Wars" project that was retooled as a two-part standalone film at Netflix and now we've been blessed with a fresh full trailer flooded with never-seen footage, new promo poster and detailed synopsis.
"Rebel Moon's" initial half drops on our planet Dec. 22, 2023 with a bold screenplay written by Zack Snyder, Kurt Johnstad, and Shay Hatten, based on a story by Snyder. It stars Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Charlie Hunnam and Anthony Hopkins as the robot voice of Jimmy.
"Tasked with finding fighters who would risk their lives to defend the people of Veldt, Kora and Gunnar (Michiel Huisman), a tenderhearted farmer naive in the realities of war, journey to different worlds in search of the Bloodaxes, and assemble a small band of warriors who share a common need for redemption along the way: Kai (Charlie Hunnam), a pilot and gun for hire; General Titus (Djimon Hounsou), a legendary commander; Nemesis (Doona Bae), a master swordswoman; Tarak (Staz Nair), a captive with a regal past; and Milius (E. Duffy), a resistance fighter.
"Back on Veldt, Jimmy (voiced by Anthony Hopkins), an ancient mechanized protector hiding in the wings, awakens with a new purpose. But the newly formed revolutionaries must learn to trust each other and fight as one before the armies of the Motherworld come to destroy them all."
Present here in this rousing trailer are Zack Snyder's signature stunning visuals that convey a much darker, violent tone than any "Star Wars" installment, channeling perhaps the dreams of an audience left unsatisfied by more recent Lucasfilm fare.
Paired with an ominous background score, we see Sofia Boutella's Kora stand up to hostile invading forces and recruit a cadre of rebels "Seven Samurai"-style to defy the tyranny of the ruthless oppressors. It's chock full of spectacular space combat sequences, exotic aliens any cantina would be proud to host, flaring Samurai blades, and a booming soundtrack that paves the way for an epic space opera franchise.

The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants is an American animated television series produced by DreamWorks Animation Television. Developed for television by Peter Hastings and Mark Banker, it is a sequel to the 2017 feature film Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, based on the Captain Underpants book series by Dav Pilkey.[2][3]
The series revolves around the adventures of George Beard and Harold Hutchins, two best friends who are devoted pranksters and aspiring comic book artists. The two attend Jerome Horwitz Elementary School, overseen by the strict principal Mr. Krupp, who was hypnotized by George and Harold to become their comic book character Captain Underpants[2], a brief-wearing superhero in a red cape and underpants, whenever he hears the sound of fingers snapping. Conversely, Captain Underpants turns back into Krupp after touching water. Both personalities remain ignorant of the other.
Most episodes deal with a threat to the school brought about by an ordinary person, often a teacher, being turned into a monster depicted in George and Harold's comics through intentionally contrived coincidences.
The third season involves George and Harold heading to a summer camp, with them having to deal with Mr. Krupp being the camp instructor and the eventful hijinx of the camp owned by the Federation of United National Camps (AKA the F.U.N.C.).
In April 2000, Dav Pilkey sought to adapt Captain Underpants into a possible television series, having imagined Chris Farley in the titular role prior to his death.[5] Soup2Nuts would subsequently attempted to produce an animated series based on the books later that decade.[6] On December 12, 2017, Netflix and DreamWorks Animation Television announced that there would be an animated series to follow up the feature film adaptation of the book series, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, entitled The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants.[7][8] Originally titled "Captain Underpants and the Epic Tales of George and Harold",[9] it premiered on the streaming service on July 13, 2018,[10] and was executive-produced by Peter Hastings. A second season was announced and to be released on February 8, 2019. The third season was announced to be released on July 19, 2019. A new series, which contained six episodes, was announced to be released on July 10, 2020.
In October 2019, Netflix released a 46-minute Halloween special of the series titled The Spooky Tale of Captain Underpants: Hack-a-Ween.[11] In February 2020, an interactive special titled Captain Underpants: Epic Choice O' Rama was released. In December 2020, a 46-minute Christmas special titled Captain Underpants: Mega Blissmas was released.[12] In 2023, co-showrunner Peter Hastings confirmed that no further seasons were planned, with the next installment in the franchise being the 2025 feature film Dog Man.[4]
The series was first released on Netflix on July 13, 2018. The second season was released on February 8, 2019,[13] and the third season was released on July 19, 2019. The series also aired in the UK on CITV.[12] In 2023, co-showrunner Peter Hastings confirmed that no further seasons were planned, with the next installment in the franchise being the 2025 feature film Dog Man.[4]
Excruciatingly slow and dull if not outright boring, "Sandman" is a perplexing failure. The stories that make up the comic-book epic are sewn together haphazardly and confusingly, never building to discernible arcs and not even broken down into interesting stand-alone episodes. The series is a pile of stories and moods randomly tossed on top of each other.
Whether that's because the source material is simply too hard to adapt or because this adaptation got it wrong is unclear. What is clear is that fans of the comics are likely to be disappointed, and first-timers are likely to be confused and put off.
"Sandman" is about 20 or so different things and characters, but it can be boiled down to this: Dream (Tom Sturridge) is the eponymous Sandman, who controls the dreams of humanity. He's among a family of anthropomorphic concepts, like Desire (Mason Alexander Park) and Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste, whose episode is the best thing about the series by far). At the start, Dream (sometimes called Morpheus) is captured by a lucky human sorcerer (Charles Dance), imprisoned and silent in the waking world for over a century. His absence from the "Dreaming" realm causes chaos there and deaths and illness among the humans.
If that sounds both confusing and a little boring, it is. The show fails to build characters worth caring about or any kind of narrative stakes. The problem is not that "Sandman" is a cerebral, talky kind of fantasy series. There are plenty of great works of science fiction and fantasy that rely more on character and dialogue than action set pieces. The problem is that all that discourse is empty and meaningless without substantive plot and ideas behind it. By the second half of the season, the acting and scripts turn juvenile and stilted, rendering the episodes almost unwatchable.
