Does anyone watch "You"? It's kind of an interesting show. quiet creepy, but also kinda cheesy. The main character is super full of himself.

No idea how they will keep this up for more than 4 eps, but the unicorn is totally Caitlyn Jenner. My wife is convinced the deer is Payton Manning, but that seems like. Big stretch to me. Also, I’m pretty sure Nick Canon is now older than Dave Chappelle, when Dave was making fun of him, just to keep this ~old~ meme going...

So I decided to finally start Killing Eve last night, and may or may not have powered through 6 episodes in one sitting. Finishing up the last two right now. This is excellent, but I'm glad I waited to watch it. If I'd done it when I had a bunch of people suggesting it to me in the worst possible way, I probably would have been mildly annoyed and not been able to really watch it without distraction. Still salty Sandra Oh won the Globe over Keri Russell, though. If anybody from Killing Eve was going to rob her I'd rather it have been Jodie Comer. I'm shook she didn't get any big nominations for the show.

Fast Luck posted:Yeah dude reminds me of Dennis Reynolds from Always Sunny. it's a fun show, i put it #10 for 2018, it's good enough at action/cliffhangers to keep you hooked, while also creeped out by the guys predator rear end. but it also can be disarmingly funny at times. Am I weird to think that it kinda feels like a dark comedy? Things are a bit convoluted. Maybe I'm dangerously desensitized to creepy weirdos.

It was cool watching my parents come around on it. We watched it over the holidays and the first couple, I could tell they were kind of wary of it, given the themes and violence and such. Also being old, anything with accents is gonna be dicey but Oh and Comer are so loving charming in their respective roles that by the end they were in full "do you wanna watch another one?" mode

I don't mind Chicago Med, either, but Chicago Fire has completely left me cold. the episode of Chicago Med I watched last night featured an incel and an event that i described as "uncomfortably close" to an actual incident that happened late last year at a real Chicago hospital where a man shot up a bunch of people because his ex worked there. it was all very SVU-esque, which makes sense given the phallic lupine connection.

https://twitter.com/NXOnNetflix/status/1083468523966476289 Oh man this looks so good. It's from the creator of Nightcrawler (Not Len Wein) about a bunch of pretentious art snobs who find a trove of incredible art in a dead recluse's apartment and try to get rich off of it but the art comes to life and start killing people Nightcrawler was loving sick and Gyllenhal was so good in it.

And now I finished "You" in one sitting! To be fair, I was on a long train ride and didn't have a lot of better things to do. Its certainly something else. I think I need to digest this before I could tell if I actually liked it, or if it was just weirdly immersive.

I literally spit my drink during the shopping list scene. I did like the weird dynamic with Peach. Episode 6 spoiler: They are both controlling monsters, but it's totally different. She's a manipulative woman who tries to keep Becks down to get a sense of control. But he's the exact opposite. He wants to elevate her and improve her life in a way which might be interpreted as verging close to the edge of obsessiveness. Then he almost got caught because he forgot his piss jar. Actually, yes. I think I like this show as a brutal deconstruction of a romantic comedy. In essence, it only takes the cheesy tropes from romcoms and takes them up a notch and follows the logical progression. Honestly, many romantic movies are the stories of creepy fucks who do socially unacceptable things to fulfill their obsession. The framing here is is just a bit more sincere.
