let's check in on how Roseanne is doing in it's season finale!quote:In the final scenes of the Roseanne revival’s first season, the Conner house floods. A massive rainstorm hits much of Illinois, and in the midst of a family crisis about how to pay for Roseanne’s knee surgery and whether Dan should hire undocumented workers, they realize their house has sustained thousands of dollars of water damage. Dan wades through the knee-deep water, trying to convince Roseanne that everything will be okay — trying and failing, that is, because they both know there’s no way out. He sends her upstairs to reassure the rest of the family, and they give each other a look that says they both know it’s a lie. There will be no money for Roseanne’s knee. Dan has ruined his friendship with his long-time union partner, and simultaneously given up on his principles, all to maintain an already disastrous status quo. wow, maybe we took Roseanne Barr's ability to make a show dealing with real issues that working class people will relate to in a way that isn't pandering or stupid. That's pretty co- quote:Instead, the widespread flooding across the state pushes Roseanne’s imagined President Trump to declare a federal emergency. Roseanne and the Conners immediately start celebrating because this means they’ll get “FEMA money.” Dan tells them that he’ll be able to fix up the basement himself with the government funds, meaning it’ll cost them less, and they can use the remainder to pay for Roseanne’s knee surgery. Their problems are solved, and the season ends with everyone joyously gathered around the dinner table. The Conners get an unlikely fairy-tale ending. oh alright then i hope every single person still without power in Puerto Rico sends Roseanne a letter that just says "GO gently caress YOURSELF YOU AWFUL WOMAN"

I just don't understand people who love MST3K but who hate the host segments. It's like saying "I love horror hosts but hate their lame sketches." The lame sketches are the main appeal. Without them it's just watching an audio commentary by some faceless snarky guys. MST3K is a straight-up horror host show but swapping genres for sci-fi. Are the segments always funny? No. That's not the point. They're always incredibly charming, and their poorly thought out or poorly executed nature is a big part of the draw, as is their characterizations. So, of course, the Joel episodes are much better because they're not trying nearly as hard. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 11:32 on May 23, 2018 |

The host segments are usually great especially in the later seasons The host segments are kind of like extremely short episodes of a wacky sitcom about a guy who lives with robots

This is a meta-commentary on how if a natural disaster happens to white people the government falls all over itself to help but when the victims are POC they don't give a poo poo, right, that's what this was going for, right? No I know that's not it. I feel like a lot more could be said about the Roseanne revival and what all its weird mixed messages and Roseanne seemingly getting right up to The Point then just taking a hard turn into delusion.

The invention exchange is *prop comedy* people! Joel was a prop comic! There's only one sketch I won't skip and it's the The United Servo Academy Men's Chorus Hymn, directed by Thomas "Bullhead" Servo

Correct, but San Junipero is basically The Matrix. I also wrote a short story in high school about a guy who entered the virtual worlds that comatose patients were living inside of in order to help them return to reality, which is basically exactly what this sounds like. Course its also Vanilla sky and Existenz and Total Recall and The Thirteenth Floor and bunch of other sci-fi poo poo too.

i should note that when i say "manufactured," i'm not really talking about the same techniques that produced poo poo like The Monkees, even if it's being done to the same end. but did you ever notice that she completely blew the gently caress up out of nowhere when Visions came out, with literally every music critic lining up to say she's the New Hot poo poo and her suddenly appearing on movie soundtracks and doing music for Girls and touring with Diplo and Skrillex and etc? does that honestly strike you as a coincidence, or does it strike you as a whole lot of money getting thrown around to make Grimes the New Hot poo poo? because it seems pretty loving obvious to me that it's the latter. people blow up naturally, but they don't blow up naturally that goddamn fast, and when someone blows up that fast you should be suspecting shenanigans.

She's been doing this for a long time. It doesn't surprise me that she blows up when her latest album is more conventional pop. Her first album, Geidi Primes, came out over 8 years ago.

Isn't "seemingly coming out of nowhere" kind of how the whole pop sensation thing works like 99.9% of the time? I don't see why this needs to be .a weird conspiracy theory by the illuminati to clone Elon Musk a girlfriend. And it's quite easy to still have no idea who she is other than that.
