The best part is how racially diverse the cast seem to be, because 1960's America was so into that.

Turning the light on the darkest places, you and I know we got to face this now. We got to face this now.

Another Amazon pilot season approaches on August 28th. Watch and vote.

quote:

The new shows include:

The Cosmopolitans - Directed by Whit Stillman of Metropolitan, The Last Days Of Disco, and every Lena Dunham interview fame, The Cosmopolitans follows the adventures of five American expats living, loving, and probably eating delicious pastries in Paris. Adam Brody and Chloe Sevigny lead the cast.

Hand Of God - World War Z director Marc Forster makes his television debut with Hand Of God, starring Ron Perlman as Judge Pernell Harris. After a brutal rape devastates his family, Harris goes on a good old-fashioned drive-in style revenge spree driven by visions he believes are sent by his favorite call girl’s handicapped son.

Hysteria - Hysteria stars Mena Suvari as a neurologist who returns to her hometown of Austin, Texas to investigate a group of teenage girls whose mysterious mass seizures appear to be spread by technology. Hysteria was written by Shaun Cassidy (yes, that Shaun Cassidy) and directed by British director Otto Bathurst.

Red Oaks - Directed by David Gordon Green and produced by Steven Soderbergh, Red Oaks explores the “go-go” world of 1985 as seen through the eyes of geeky collegiate tennis instructor David (Craig Roberts, Submarine) and a colorful group of wage slaves and wealthy patrons at the Red Oaks Country Club in suburban New Jersey.

Really - Broken Lizard ringleader Jay Chandrasekhar writes, directs and stars in this Chicago-set comedy about a dude (Chandrasekhar) whose best friend’s secret nearly ruins his marriage as well as his friend group. Sarah Chalke and Selma Blair lead the supporting cast.

Red Oaks sounds okay, but only because I like the actor and Director. I couldn't give a poo poo about any of the others. Really, Amazon can gently caress off out of the original content business and I wouldn't bat an eye.

None of these sound good but "driven by visions he believes are sent by his favorite call girl’s handicapped son" got a laugh from me.

I'll probably check out The Cosmopolitans when I'm in the mood to be annoyed by something.

And that's enough for me. The prospect of Ron Perlman on a crazy-rear end vengeance ride alone buys it an hour, and if I get bored after that, I'll drop it. It's just TV (at least until it isn't).

LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
I stayed in a hotel last night, and ended up channel surfing to HBO, where I watched an episode of The Leftovers. Does...does it make anymore sense in context? :psyduck:
Scott Glenn was good, though.

That's a pretty hilarious design since the center section is the Saturn 5 without them jettisoning any of the stages. Unless they had a refueling platform in orbit to load it up with fuel that's just useless mass (assuming it wasn't Skylabbed).

They barely do, but Chandrasekhar does a lot of directing work.

And that's just the beginning. Past even the big first stage, it looks like it even still has the escape tower on it even though it couldn't possibly serve any purpose. Then if you stop to think that >80% of the length of the Saturn V was just engines and propellant to hurl 45 tonnes of the comparatively tiny CSM/LM to the moon. That superstructure looks much heavier than Apollo hardware (as it would need to be), but that means >90% of that thing is just fuel, but that amount of fuel won't take them anywhere, and where the gently caress do the people and all of their food go, and why would you ever want to burn an F1 engine in space, and why would you stage the central rocket and nothing else, and how are they keeping the cryogenic fuel from boiling off, and why is that Saturn V even in there to begin with, and none of this makes even a damned bit of sense.

Would be far more realistic to just put the frakking Galactica there instead, since that's clearly what they wanted to do with all that superstructure.

Wow, I'm way more rocked by Robin Williams' death than I thought I would be. But then remembered Hook, Jumanji, Flubber... dude ruled mediocre kids films when I was growing up.

I only watched a couple of episodes of The Crazy Ones, but I enjoyed him in it. Kinda feels fitting that he went back to TV before he passed.
