I was at the Copenhagen show and I'll be honest, I didn't have a good time. Call me a prude but I was just sat there praying for the overt sex jokes and jackin off to end, and some of the bits just seemed like he was being offensive merely for the sake of it. Like bro, I don't need a visual of you fisting Aleena. I also understand that being able to joke about your childhood trauma can be therapeutic, and I respect him for choosing to share it, but the CPS bit was just so rough to hear that I couldn't force myself to laugh.
If you like Fantasy genre, I love (Underscore LOVE) The kingkiller chronicles and the Stormlight Archives. Both series are incredible. I also do audio books, paper when they are a bit shorter...
Walking helped me in my early 20s a lot...reading helps too. I listen to audiobooks while I walk. Though I prefer shorter book for reading/listening. It makes me feel accomplished. Good luck!
Great video, and good luck! On the topic of book reccomendations: I'm a fantasy guy, but if I were you and trying to get back into figuring out even what books I'd enjoy, I would start with the books that inspired some of my favorite films and shows. You can get a wide range of genres and styles that way. Lord of the Rings is a great, if dense, place to start. You could be surprised at how many great shows and movies are adapted from lesser known books. Even my all-time favorite film The Prestige was adapted from a novel of the same name. On the nonfiction side, some of my favorite books that became movies are things like Moneyball and The Big Short. Long story short, if your passion is film, there is no shortage of books that inspired some of the best films of all time, and you may enjoy pouring through some of those and seeing the difference between the original and the adaptation.
Somebody invented a dangerous game that should only be played by mature adults going into it with open minds and a willingness to openly share their partners with someone out side their relationship.
One thing that really stings about Life on Our Planet is the sheer amount of misinformation. A lot of it can boil down to nitpicks, but some aspects of it are really basic stuff that the folks behind it should've known better. Anomalocaris, for one, was adapted for eating soft bodied prey. It would have no reason to hunt trilobites. The big squid looking fella from the same episode is referred to as Cameroceras, but that one wasn't particularly large. The giant ones are Endoceras. Lystrosaurus is portrayed as going extinct due to not knowing what predators are, which... Is dumb on so many levels, as it did have plenty of predators and died out due to climate change. On that note, the Erythrosuchus that it's shown living with didn't exist alongside it, and wouldn't walk like a lizard. The Allosaurus is shown being covered in crocodile like scutes. We have direct evidence showing that their skin was smoother. All of the feathered dinosaurs have weird "wing sleeves" in their arms, when the wing feathers should follow the direction of the fingers. The end result is that they end up looking like weird kites. The pterosaurs shown eating turtles are Pterodactylus, but showing them behaving like seagulls like that is innaccurate. They were filter feeders, more like ducks than gulls. How often do you see ducks chomping at baby turtles to eat them? The T.rex has really dinky teeth, and way too many of them. They look like they'd break with a single bite. (Sidenote: most of the dinosaur models are slightly modified from Jurassic World, as ILM did the effects for both. That is not a good thing). A pliosaur and toothed pterosaurs are shown dying out with the asteroid at the end of the cretaceous. Both of these would've been extinct more than twenty million years prior. Sabertooth cats are shown hunting terror birds. This is ridiculous on many levels, as the larger sabertooths (saberteeth?) only came to be when the terror birds died out due to the ice age. The only ones that did live with the birds were like ocelot sized and would've posed no threat whatsoever. The cave lions are depicted as being completely white. There is direct evidence that they were more or less the same color as modern lions. And to top it all off, the narrative that evolution is about "dynasties one-upping each other" is really, really outdated, as there is no animal group that's inherently "better" than another. All in all, LOOP just feels like a textbook from the early 80s instead of a documentary released in 2023, and most of the information within is wildly innaccurate at best. Which shouldn't be the purpose of a documentary at all in my humble opinion.
LOOP is rather flawed (along with spouting the idea of “Dynasties”) also the scene with the sub-adult mammoth being instantly taken down by one single Cave lion is just egregious
I probably notice of life on our Planet they Skip the prehistoric life of Paleozoic and cenozoic never mentioned Oligocene miocene and Pliocene other Prehistoric beasts on it
LOOP is also riddled with inaccuracies, terrible flow, and a heavily flawed concept (portraying extinct groups as "dynasties" and evolution as an arms race. It's pitiful at how badly it fails, at least from a paleontology perspective. There have been much, much better documentaries featuring prehistoric life in the past decade or so. Prehistoric Planet in particular stands out
I've only seen a few of Netflix's big budget nature documentaries [the ones specifically trying to chase the BBC Natural History Unit]. A big pro I'll give Netflix is that they're usually very specific about what species of animal we're looking at, like a segment about an Albatross, Netflix very specifically states exactly what species of albatross it is. BBC is very hit or miss about that. HOWEVER the big con with Netflix that I've seen so far is that they're practically allergic to showing any kind of relatively obscure or unknown animal. Everything is charismatic megafauna that we've seen hundreds of times in other productions. There's no equivalent of BBC's Blue Planet segment about scavenging shore snails riding waves to get to a dead fish. Also Netflix's music and cinematography just isn't quite as good. BBC peaked with The Hunt in 2017 and nothing that they or Netflix has made since then has come close. The Hunt is the only OST from a nature show that I've ever gone out of my way to buy on itunes.
