Teddybear posted:Yeah, it gets more character driven in season 2, and it’s much less cringe comedy than season 1. Honestly, from season 2 on, the show holds up through the finale. I think that's kind of what hurt Ann (Rashida Jones' character) in the long run though. She's kind of built to be kind of a cringe comedy character and the rest of the show turns into something more akin to B99 or TGP.

Kristen Bell also does a small turn in Parks and Rec as a city council rep that I liked quite a bit. As the show went on, my tolerance for Ron Swanson and Tom Haverford goes way down, but the full Johnny Karate show is worth putting up with a lot. Plus the anti-Ron as played by freaking Sam Elliot. Maybe he will show up as a Good Place rep.

Zil posted:True, I just meant that he may not be able to avoid his natural instincts to be an absolute dick to anyone and everyone around him. Natural tendencies to be a dick, or to do what is fun? The best way to drag them down would be to be a fun friend who tells them "no you don't need to change you're all already perfect as you are now who wants some cocaine."

Rashida Jones was a straight man foil to Poehler's extreme wackiness. She extended that to Ron, April, and Chris too. Hell I think her job was even harder once Adam Scott's character became involved in whackier concepts.

Yeah Rashida does a great job with the role, and Ann ends up supporting a lot of the other character's heartwarming moments.

It has the most sequel hooky sequel hook I have ever seen in any form of media ever Other than that it's kinda the worst game in the series puzzle and story wise, but still worth playing especially the phone version which is only like $15 and worth that much for the post game daily puzzles alone, of which there are 380

Parker Posey is pretty good in Josie and the Pussycats, which is also pretty good. I had a dream last night that tonight's episode started with Eleanor fixing Tahani's hair and then full-on making out and smash-cut to credits. Really disappointed in the writing.

Josie and the Pussycats is a sorely underrated movie imho that way too many people took at face value when it came out. Dare I say it was before its time ????

But the tone it took was one I think people might be more open to now, if that makes sense? It's such a loving fun, good film. It's not perfect but it's hilarious and does its job well imo.

Regy Rusty posted:I think that without most of the people in charge realizing it yet, this whole experiment with these four humans just keeps snowballing and has the potential to upend the entire way the afterlife functions. Sean is doing what he's doing, not out of official capacity, but because he personally can't stand that they got away, and now they're interfering on Earth in a way that (presumably) isn't allowed.
