So I was browsing OkCupid just now and came across a girl who had the following listed for her favorite movies: "Movies: Lord of the Rings, School of Rock, Pocahontas, Mulan, Artistocats, Mean Girls, Chinatown, High School Musical, Titicut Follies, This is Us, The Hunger Games" Mad props to the person who casually tosses Titicut Follies in between High School Musical and the One Direction movie.

Yaphet Kotto chat: Band owns. I think all their LPs are for sale on discogs for like $10 each. But no one buy them because I want them and have no money right now. Shame the actor, who also owns, was in the worst Nightmare on Elm Street movie. It's pretty hosed up that the only movie he's been in in the last 20 years was a Larry the Cable Guy movie.

Speaking of crime shows, I kind of want to get the Hill Street Blues complete set, but I can't justify it despite it being one of the canonical works of TV- I just can't see it holding up particularly well despite me loving old TV. It's weird that old TV comedy seems to hold up much better than old TV drama. Like, who the hell is watching Gunsmoke these days or whatever?

Yeah I was a bit too encompassing in that statement- stuff like that or anthology dramas (I did a watch of Route 66 a while back and loved it) are still interesting because they don't particularly resemble today's tv- HSB is probably like, the single most influential TV drama of the past, oh, forty years or so, which means that it's the sort of thing that's hard to appreciate because of how much the shows that followed it resembled it.

Also of the big three TV drama titans of the 80s, I get the feeling that my actual favorite is St. Elsewhere, which still doesn't have a proper release. (the other big one was LA Law, which, ehh, s'alright.)

Tars Tarkas posted:Gunsmoke rules I suggest you watch it whenever you can. Seconding this. It's a good show to watch whenever you have an hour to kill because there are a loving boatload of episodes, continuity is non-existent or nearly so, and you'll recognize some actors in it. Each episode is basically a good Western movie, but shorter! My favorite is the one which opens on some town where dozens of people are just fighting each other in the street in the middle of the night and the town safe is kept in the middle of the saloon.

Also if you're mainly hoping to get satisfying endings out of TV drama, you're in the wrong medium entirely.

People give the last season a bit of poo poo for being unrealistic (or at least, tonally out of step with the previous seasons), but yes on the whole the finale is very satisfying. At least, as satisfying as you could expect from something like The Wire.

So, General Ironicus, I dunno if I agree with you about Michael Cera winning a Tony next year, if only because I think Kieran Culkin is much more deserving.

Just watched Jodorowsky's Dune. Christ, that sounded like the most ambitious film ever Fortunately some of its concepts were used in other movies and he got to make that comic series with Moebius, so it's not like all of his work in the planning stages was for nothing.

My roommate had never seen this clip before, so I'm gonna post it here because it's my single favorite Kanye West moment of all time. It's amazing for his barely being able to hold it together, and then his complete clarity when he says the now infamous quote.
