Love Death + Robots

[Drunk Monk]

This is a Netflix collection of animated sci-fi shirts, each about 10 to 17 min long so very digestible. It reminds me of Heavy Metal - a mixed bag of violence, stylized visions and boobs - some good, some meh. Gratuitous, sanguineous, and a little lascivious. I haven’t watched them all yet. But I probably will eventually because they are little nibbles. I recommend THREE ROBOTS the most so far. That one is funny. I also liked GOOD HUNTING for its unexpected turn and it’s play on fox demons. The Fish one was okay. The yogurt one was disappointing.

3 Robots was very funny. The yogurt was amusing. I’ll definitely watch all of them, a nibble at a time.

I've watched a couple of these as well. I'm not desperate to get through them. What happens is I'll be scrolling through Netflix looking for something to watch and I'll remember I could watch a couple of these.

The yogurt paled compared to Python’s blancmange trying to win Wimbledon and that's all I could think of. I was going to say the animation was okay but not mind blowing then I watched The Witness, which was the most visual so far. I’m in no rush either but they are just the right length sometimes so I’ll likely get through them all eventually.

I liked the story behind Zima Blue.  Twas very zen.

So my cherry pics so far are:
3 Robots
The Witness
Good Hunting
Helping Hand
Zima Blue

The rest are still very Heavy Metal, and not necessarily in a good way, although slightly nostalgic.

Almost done.

I actually watched all of these 2 or 3 weeks ago.  The format and length is great for after dinner; the content, not so much.  An awful lot of macho posturing, and solutions based on force.  But there were a few semiprecious gems.

I'm in agreement with DM's list above.

Like I said...Heavy Metal.  

Remember DEN?  The movie totally ruined that comic.

[cranefly]

Like I said...Heavy Metal.  

You know, it's been so long ago since I saw the zine and movie that I've been forgetting how testosterone-fueled it was.
As for that Den clip...  Wow, that discombobulates  my image of him in every possible way.

[Drunk Monk]

Yeah, I saw the movie again recently and it's horribly dated now.  Almost unwatchably so.  

Nevertheless, that's all I could think of when Elon put that Tesla in space.

[Drunk Monk]

I'm in agreement with DM's list above.

Hold the phone. Should I watch the rest or was that it? Do any of the other eps stick out to you?

[cranefly]

Alternate Histories had some effective humor, as I recall.

The Secret War is pretty macho, but I liked the setting and atmosphere, and characters.  It was well-done

Beyond those additions, I don't think anything else struck me.

[Drunk Monk]

I watched Alternate Histories already.  It was cute but something didn't quite work for me about it.  I can't remember what that was now, not that it's important.

[Drunk Monk]

The Secret War was good for it's animation and atmosphere.  Kind of a gratuitous story tho.  Another mindless charging horde.  But beautiful and entertaining.

I enjoyed Beyond the Aquila Rift too, again for it's animation, but also for it's Matrix-esque twist. 

Both of these have such solid CGI that for moments, I forgot it was CGI.

Netflix announced it has renewed Love, Death and Robots for a second season. The first season, which debuted in early 2019, featured 18 short films and, uniquely, Netflix even switched up the episode order for some viewers.
Per a tweet from Netflix’s See What’s Next Twitter account, Jennifer Yuh Nelson will be the supervising director on all of the upcoming episodes. Variety notes that Yuh Nelson’s directing pedigree includes episodes from the animated Spawn series, Kung Fu Panda 2, Kung Fu Panda 3, and The Darkest Minds.
As for how many episodes we can expect or when they’ll be available, Netflix hasn’t shared additional details. If the second season of Love, Death and Robots is anything like the first, it will likely be based on existing short fiction. And with that in mind, there’s a lot of ripe source material. The Verge’s Andrew Liptak pulled together 17 science fiction stories that could make for an entertaining second season.
