veni veni veni posted:Office Space has held up a lot better for me than The Office. maybe that's not fair because it's a 2 hour movie and not like, 8 season of TV but I really just find the Office lame and annoying when I try to watch it now. There's like 10 bad jokes for every good one and the sheer amount of them is exhausting. I feel the exact opposite. I still like The Office quite a bit (although holy poo poo did the post-Michael seasons get bad), but Office Space has aged incredibly poorly for me. I think Office Space might be one of those movies that college ruined for me because of classmates quoting it non-loving-stop.

If you can be at work and have some kind of printer problem and not get a laugh from "PC load letter, what the gently caress does that mean" then you have my pity.

Oh, I've worked white-collar jobs for most of my adult life, and that line still gets me (edit: and I had a situation at a contract job where it literally took three different IT guys to figure out why my ID badge wasn't scanning properly for a print), but a lot of the jokes in that movie just got ran into the loving ground.

So Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.. Its good.. very good even. I feel however visualy its gonna get dinged from some people for the mismatch between the CG and the Puppetry. Both are excellent indeed but there is a mismatch there sometimes. On the other hand, more of these guys: [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/darkcrystal/images/8/81/Fizzgig.jpg/[img]

In my office, all the 20-somethings put on Friends or The Office every lunch break and have it as a conversation piece while they're eating. No one pays all that much attention to it, and they can move on to talking about other things or even get up and leave the room entirely if it's still on. No other shows are like that. I guess it's like when people my age used to turn on Nick-at-Nite when we were doing other things, no matter how many times we saw that rerun of I Love Lucy or Happy Days.

I think the biggest problem with the Office is that it got so loving bad towards the end that it managed to sour me on the good stuff. It was really bad even a good while before Michael Scott left. It all just feels like a blur. Every time Jim looks at the camera like "whut" I just want to smack him. Parks and Rec was just the office but better. I'll just watch that instead. Although the last couple of seasons of Parks and Rec sucked too.

No I mean they look bad compared to how they looked in the original, which were also puppets. They just look sort of greasy and deformed.

There's a lot more gore, violence, and sex in the first two episodes of Carnival Row than I was expecting. The trailer I saw a little while ago did not give off that kinda vibe lmao. Kinda digging this.

I assumed Carnival Row was an adaptation of some kind of fantasy/steampunk novels, but apparently it's an original series. It really seems like something that would already have extremely detailed lore/worldbuilding and really intense fans, but that's probably just because it reminds me of the stuff I was into in 8th grade.

Carnival Row is really bad. It would have been okay if it didn't take itself so seriously, but it's taking a script that makes The Magicians look like Shakespeare and trying to turn it into a serious, gritty fantasy show.

Think I was probably too hard on the puppets in dark crystal. They look pretty good. Just gave me a weird first impression. Overall I’m enjoying this so far. If nothing else it gorgeous to look at.

Keith Atherton posted:Started watching Mission Impossible: Fallout I was skeptical about the Mission Impossibles for years, after seeing 1 and 2 in the theater (and not even remembering I had seen 2) and skipping all the rest out of a general distaste for Tom Cruise. But I binged the series leading up to Fallout (6), and 3-6 are all outstanding action movies, all far better than 1 and 2. I'd rank them: Fallout (6) --> Ghost Protocol (4) --> tie between Rogue Nation (5) and 3 --> 1 ----------------------------------> 2.

On the other hand, it's kinda dumb when sci-fi series introduce amazing technology and then suddenly stop using it for some reason.
