Good Omens 🤝 Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
immortal insufferable paternalistic authoritarian/purist(?) treats a subordinate of his own kind like a teenage daughter and disapproves of said subordinate's romantic partnership with someone from a similarly immortal but shapeshifting race that the authoritarian looks down on
said partnership in the previous bullet specifically involves Michael Sheen, who promptly gets emotionally tormented in both cases
crucial interactions between the authoritarian and the subordinate involve drinking something (blood/coffee)
all of the actors here were in an Underworld movie and none of their characters in the franchise survived past at most two

Now Is the Perfect Time to Watch Some Movies Set in 2024
Now that we've made it to the new year, why not enjoy some old visions of it? I at least love to start the first few weeks of a year by going through the films set in the new year, as listed marvellously by Wikipedia.
Because I'm interested in old visions of the now-present, I usually skip movies that were produced in the last ten years. Because these usually don't provide very bold predictions. This criterion leaves the following seven entries for a Get Ready for '24 watchlist:
Beyond the Time Barrier. A 1960 time travel flick. Never heard of it. A quick look at the plot reminds me of Return to the Planet of the Apes. Which I kinda liked for its batshit abstrusity. Anyway, the movie is short and exactly what I'm looking for. So I'll definitely try to somehow get my hands on it.
A Boy and His Dog. This 1975 movie likely is the most notorious of this list. Not sure how well the film has aged, but it has been loitering on my to do list for years now, so the stars are aligned as good as never before.
Highlander II: The Quickening. Very likely to be the worst movie of this list. Haven't seen it yet, I think (or I forgot it after watching). And I haven't heard anything good of it, but at least it tells a story related to climate change. Which is better than nothing, I guess.
The Thirteenth Floor. I absolutely l o v e the German TV movie "World on a Wire", and Thirteenth Floor is a remake of this. I watched it once, but before seeing World on a Wire. So although Thirteenth Floor has only on small bit of its plot actually taking place in 2024, I really look forward to a rewatch of this 1999 production.
.hack//The Movie. A 2011 CGI anime movie. Never heard of it, but why not.
Underworld: Awakening and Underworld: Blood Wars. I remember liking the first Underworld movie, and I don't recall much of the other four films. So I think I'll use the final two installments playing in 2024 as an excuse for a rewatch of the whole series.
Narcopolis. This is a 2015 movie, so my Older Than Ten Years rule technically disqualifies this entry. But I'm quite intrigued by the story of a UK that has all drugs legalized. So I'll give it a watch.

Watched Underworld on Netflix a couple nights ago, and I peeped immediately where they cut the original footage of blonde Sonya and replaced it with footage of the former Tomb Raider model from Rise of the Lycans.
I always had a issue that they made Sonya a carbon copy of Selene in that film. “You reminded [Viktor] so much of his [precious] Sonya” shouldn’t’ve translated “you looked just like her”. Especially when there could’ve been an opportunity of doing something with VIktor and Selene or her family before he slaughtered said family.
But that’s nuance that the Underworld series isn’t particularly interested in, I know.

just looking at the contact lens difference between Rise of the Lycans (human-looking pupils in the middle of the luminous blue) and the first Underworld movie (literally no pupils and the black-bordered starburst of the same shades of blue taking up the entire visible eyes) as per chronology of how Lucian appeared in the saga
also different teeth or just because older Lucian's teeth are covered in blood here

I would like to preface this by saying I have not seen Underworld (2003) or Underworld: Rise of Lycans (2009) but I saw a gif set of Raze and I thought it was gifs of Boyd (Teen Wolf) in the new movie, alive and all grown up.
