I like how the one woman rolls her eyes when Picard finally says "Engage" Love how every show now has to be 10 or more episodes exploring only one story and thus need 3 episodes before the space man is even in the space ship

In the comics that was like, an afternoon. I don't know how anyone kept watching once they had such an obvious filler season.

I gave up on like episode 6, then went back and watched the one that had the guy from Terriers that wasn’t Donal Logue. Then I was just mad there wasn’t more terriers. TWD season 1 was a blast but that show poo poo the bed so hard after that, it’s really disappointing. It wasn’t even the fun kind of bad, it was just insanely slow and boring.

My wife would binge TWD seasons on Netflix a few years ago and the best part was thinking about personal zombie outbreak plans and the strange zombie stress dreams I would occasionally get.

S2 was AMC trying to cut as much from the budget as possible because for some reason it being super popular meant they had to save as much money as possible on it.

I remember before the show came out, people were upset when the comics spent so much time at the prison, but I feel like that was one of the most solid parts of the comic. It felt completely meandering and repetitive after that, especially once they got to Alexandria and it was like only three plots on a continuous loop.

They could have at least had some dialogue or something indicating how much time passed. I was confused why they were still looking for the kid that was obviously dead for so long. I guess that would have tipped me off to the short amount of time on a better written show, but everything else around it gave the impression they had been at the farm for ages.

Season 1 itself wasn't even that good. Arguably the worst thing Frank Darabont's been associated with.

I feel like this was something to do with the budget Matthew Weiner had negotiated for Mad Men at around the same time?

Yeah, I quit watching in (I think) season 4 and that entire time there were two episodes I would call unequivocally good. And one of them was the pilot. I think the other one was when they revisited Lennie James' character from the pilot, come to think of it.

I had a good time, he's a goofy entity so I enjoy him even if some of his material seems anachronistic, like poo poo you'd joke about in middle/high school in 2003. I loved the Louis CK bit a bunch. His stuff about Ariana Grande had me cracking up hard. Especially the bit about how people would react if he spray painted himself brown and went on a magazine to poo poo on his ex, like she did. I also always enjoy hearing about the innerworkings of SNL.

If you think Force Awakens is even close to the worst Harrison Ford performance you haven't seen a lot of his recent films. Ender's Game, more like "sleepy grandpa ruins film".

Harrison Ford is the dude I'd be least surprised to see a 100% CG version of on screen while the actor is still alive and able to work, but doesn't care enough to.

I liked him in 2049, and the movie overall, but I do feel like the entire movie would have been stronger without any direct connections to the original. Just another detective on another case in the same universe.

Just another detective on another case in the same universe. I don't understand why people say this about 2049, the entire movie is built off the first one. It's okay not to like that, but when you say "it should have been unconnected" you're not even really criticizing 2049 so much as imagining a completely different movie with a different story and characters.

Also Ford hasn't done anything good since the nineties.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Literally anyone is better than Iger. I get why people hated Michael Eisner and were glad he left because at the end of his tenure he was basically single-handedly responsible for the company becoming a shell of its former self, but I really don't get the animosity towards Iger aside from generic nerd rage about the insanely successful and popular stuff made under his direction.

Iger never seemed to be able to run Parks efficiently without emptying the bank somewhere else. Shanghai was a hugely expensive park and as a result the parks at World took the brunt of the expense. There’s multiple popular high-capacity rides at Magic Kingdom that are literally held together with duct tape and hope. He never gave a poo poo about castmembers at the parks either, with the union being effectively useless under his tenure. Iger also never seemed to give a poo poo about allowing his creatives to have the proper time and resources to do what they wanted. He was the major driving force behind Star Wars initially adopting a Marvel style 1-per-year movie schedule, despite receiving pushback on it from nearly every single person at Lucasfilm. He insisted on Rogue One hitting its initial release date despite Gareth Edward’s reshooting schedule. He insisted on Solo’s release date despite Lord & Miller’s dismissal and The Last Jedi coming out just six months prior. He insisted on TROS coming out in 2019 despite losing Carrie Fisher and Trevorrow not knowing how to do the script without her. He went over Kennedy’s head to select JJ Abrams to direct, and then he still insisted on the 2019 date despite Abrams and Terrio having only 6 months to finish preproduction. All of these decisions were made so that he’d have feathers in his cap in time for his planned departure in 2020/21. This is not me grinding an axe over pointless nerd poo poo, this is Iger being an empty suit businessman trying to tick off checkmarks on his list to try and establish some kind of legacy for himself instead of running the company well. Marvel and Star Wars have made Disney a poo poo ton of money, but Iger had little to do with that beyond purchasing those companies. His entire legacy at Disney is built upon the work of others succeeding in spite of his constant boneheaded decisions. Eisner was a self-serving rear end in a top hat too, but you could at least tell the man had a genuine vision at times.

Hunters has one of the worst endings I've seen since Dexter. I really wish it ended at episode 9 because it was a decently entertaining show with a few drat cool characters like Murray and Mindy. Then episode 10 takes a massive poo poo all over the premise with insanely bad twists out of nowhere!

Wow. The Kung Fu Reboot sounds incredibly lame:quote:“A quarter-life crisis causes a young Chinese-American woman, Nicky Chen, to drop out of college and go on a life-changing journey to an isolated monastery in China. But when she returns to find her hometown overrun with crime and corruption, Nicky uses her martial arts skills and Shaolin values to protect her community and bring criminals to justice — all while searching for the assassin who killed her Shaolin mentor and is now targeting her." So... taking away literally everything interesting about it?
