In It For The Tank posted:Conversely, I thought Zodiac was about three hours too long. Zodiac was that rarest category of long movies: despite its length, I didn't want it to end. By far Fincher's best film (his style fit the material perfectly, even better than Fight Club or Se7en and certainly better than Panic Room) and everything from the acting to the script to the cinematography all served the material perfectly.

Did I miss anything that led you to that conclusion? In Ep2 he says he's on a 15 year break from the police, this said there was a purge of the police department, so...

It's Winger/Jeff. His underwear, when it's shown, is almost always yellow and blue striped and he spends all of his time texting.

Loved the episode but I wish they had the guts to pick a direction with the Jeff/Annie thing rather than just hanging a lampshade on it and letting it continue to drag on. I mean Jesus we've been watching them make googly eyes at each other for 4 years now...

Who IS Jeff always texting, anyway? The study group are basically his only friends Also Herstory of Dance deserves to be up there with the Rash episode. I know we've gone through this a lot but that one is just nice and good

He just pretends to so he can appear aloof and disinterested. Although that might not be canon. Yeah there's a Community canon. Pre-Crisis Jeff probably doesn't even have a phone.

I thought something similar came up earlier than that. Back in season 2(?) when Chang was living with him and Duncan came over for MU Real Madrid game.

I am curious about the characters lives outside Greendale, and like that they generally don't show them. Like how the diner Britta worked at only appeared in the Dinner with Andre episode.

But yeah, that scene was really awful and it's easy to see why Dan Harmon would be angry about it since he had a very clear image of what Jeff's father should be like. Senor Tron posted:I am curious about the characters lives outside Greendale, and like that they generally don't show them. Like how the diner Britta worked at only appeared in the Dinner with Andre episode. Yeah, season 2 handled that stuff really well. You caught glimpses of their lives outside the group that made the characters feel more real than in season 3-4.

Season 2 and 3 were actually meant to slowly wean you off Greendale as a setting, but because of the gas leak year, Dan Harmon felt it was paramount to re-establish the school rather than start doing stories about their lives off-campus.  (at least it continues to support my theory that Greendale rests on a Hellmouth)

I'm all for seeing more of the group's personal lives, but I don't like the idea of them getting away from Greendale - it's their own little Springfield. The gang all meeting up at a coffee shop just wouldn't be the same. Bown posted:ohhhh yeah I remember that now. The really super-serious monologue where he talked about his younger self self-harming that came out of absolutely nowhe-you know what I think Harmon had a point with his comments about that episode It never occurred to me that that part was kind of terrible. But I remember kind of liking the way they handled some of the stuff with Jeff's father. Macdeo Lurjtux posted:I thought something similar came up earlier than that.

I agree, I think it'd be like Cheers abandoning the bar. And besides, they'd have to come up with really contrived reasons to keep the dean and Chang around (or bring Duncan back). The thing I liked about season 2 was that the off-campus scenes created the impression that the characters had lives outside the group. In the seasons that followed the group just seemed ridiculously cloistered and codependent. VagueRant posted:What did Harmon say about it? While Dan Harmon had every right to be upset about the way they handled Jeff's father in season 4, let's just say the way he expressed it was... unfortunate.

It's not as true anymore. I'm not sure how old Winger is on the show but now that Annie's like 22-23 it may not be that creepy.

It's still kind of creepy to me because the show spends a lot of time infantilizing Annie.

Same here, I still think the only way to salvage most of season 4 is to retroactively inject some Dan Harmon into it. I can see why having this guy spout stuff off the top of his head while watching something he deeply, personally despises would be a mistake though. He's got a podcast though, he should just start putting out unofficial commentaries there and getting people to sync it themselves. It's not like the idea's never been done before.

I think more than anything else it's restraint out of respect for some of the people who worked on Season 4, and the fact that he has to work with some of them After those initial controversial comments it seems Harmon has adopted the stance of "if you can't say anything nice, say nothing".
