precision posted:Why would anyone ever do this, he's one of the only actually interesting posters on the entire forum. Probably because most of CD is insufferable if you don't have him on ignore. At least it's barely readable if you don't have to read that poster's played-out nonsensical ramblings posing as superior analysis. That gimmick run its course long ago. It's baffling people still reply seriously to him and it's literally in every thread in the forum.

Hey you fuckers, y'all were so busy slobbering over the knobs of dumb dramas with dumb openings that are dumb that you forgot what may well be the objective Best TV Openings Of All Time (in order): 1. All in the Family 2. Cheers 3. The Brady Bunch 4. Gilligan's Island End List

SuperMechaGodzilla is smarter than anyone else in that subforum though? By a really long way?

No the worst part is everything will be going fine and dandy and then he shows up and posts a thing and then for the rest of the thread you have half the posts telling him to gently caress off and die, the other half trying to jump on and ape his gimmick and the other half quoting him and saying " " and then a fourth separate half having a meta discussion about his posts and there's 10 pages of that poo poo.

I was literally sitting at my desk at work today and thinking "I'm gonna ask TV couch chat what ever happened to American Gods tonight" and I come home to this news. Fuller and Green is cool news too. But Starz? Eeesh. That concerns me.

So you can lord your book learning over the uneducated plebes in the show thread? Typical TVIV elitism.

Gaiman is a Gurm apologist. He will be first against the wall. (I couldn't get into American Gods, maybe the show will work better.)

SuperMechaGodzilla is loving amazing. It's ProfessorClumsy who's the idiot. The former looks at 2005 War of the Worlds and talks about how its lack of proper focus symbolizes the incomprehensible nature of the Holocaust. The latter sees building explode and shouts about 9/11.

Sometimes I look at SMG and see a smart guy who offers up interesting, relevant film analysis. Sometimes I see a pompous rear end who's determined to prove himself the smartest guy in the room, which is always going to be a danger when you commit to such a unique point of view with your criticism. One thing I can agree with, though, is that he'd be a thousand times more tolerable if half the forum didn't try to follow him down his rabbit hole. There's two, maybe three other people that I can sense are operating at his level; everybody else who tries it is so loving bad at it that they freeze any productive conversation and debate over poo poo that doesn't matter.

American Gods may be Gaiman's weakest novel but the show should be fun enough to watch. And at least the novel's existence got us to Anansi Boys, which is just a fun read. e: to be clear, I love Neil Gaiman, but I tried to re-read AG one time and I was like "ehhhhhh" and I am a crazy person who has re-read Stephenson's Baroque Cycle twice

Yeah, the real reason SMG is so annoying is that the rush of people trying to prove they're smart by being contrarian and doing lovely freshman "analysis" makes it really hard to actually discuss a movie on any other wavelength.

Good Omens is the best because Pratchett and Gaiman cancel out each other's worst tendencies. Also, it's really rare to have two writers with strong artistic visions collaborate on a novel, and even rarer for it to actually work.

Reading Good Omens is funny because you can almost perfectly tell which characters are Gaiman's and which are Pratchett's because Pratchett's characters have a sense of humor and nuance to them while Gaiman's horsemen are all super cool and badass and evil and totally boring.
