It's obvious that no one in Tiger King or involved in the production of Tiger King cared about the animals.

Yeah, it was pretty much just a game of "who is the biggest piece of poo poo here" for 7 episodes.

See this is what I'm talking about. Taking a fully accredited and respected rescue operation and making it look dodgy just to create a narrative for your lovely sensationalist documentary is awful. Anyone who's only exposure to BCR is that show is going to get an impression of the org that's about as accurate as the portrayal of marijuana in reefer madness. Joe Exotic and his associates are 100% the bad guys and Big Cat Rescue is just a group that helps animals, but making it seem like they're both bad means more people talk about the show.

Carole Baskin's weird volunteer tiering system is supremely hosed up and evil, and not sensationalized by the documentary.

I can't believe the documentary filmmakers took the exact words she said and made her say them

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Was the documentary being disingenuous about Carole Baskin not paying her staff?

Yes, because it's a non-profit and they're volunteers. And when I say non-profit I mean she pockets none of the money. The organization is rated 100 out of 100 by Charity Navigator, and received various top ratings from other sources. It's in no way a scam organization like the show implies, or even one of those pamphlet charities, they're the real deal.

Trying to frame people volunteering for a charity as sinister exploitation is just one of the many hosed up things the documentary does that people watching just accept without questioning it, which is why it's incredibly hosed up and irresponsible. Interviewing people with incredibly strong motives to defame the owner (employees fired for embezzling, owners of abusive roadside "zoos" shut down by bills BCR helped pass into law) to try and make her look like a murderer is also ridiculous, but at least that's only disgusting lies about a person, not an entire charitable organization.

The campaign manager being a Libertarian probably means he’s also a piece of poo poo, but I do feel for the guy having to watch a friend blow their brains out in front of him. That scene is rough.

lol most small town 21 year old white male Walmart employees probably identify as a Libertarian. take it from me

Josh Dial was lowkey the funniest thing about the show, just a young dork unwittingly sucked into this world without an ulterior motive. I felt bad for him. He actually seemed to try to do the right thing most of the time.

also I did not get the impression that he was on meth, he probably had one of the best sets of teeth on the show really

I hate Tiger King so much. The selective editing and misinformation about Big Cat Rescue is downright libelous.

yeah I got a "Making a Murderer" vibe from the editing, they're not being overtly misleading but it's definitely trying to steer the viewer into the "maybe she's even worse than the others" view. the last ep cut from Joe in jail (after 10 minutes of "maybe he wasn't the one who deserved to be here") to her and her Mitch McConnell lookalike husband talking about drinking champagne was pretty manipulative. obviously if she *did* kill her first husband all bets are off but come on the whole "she fed her husband to the tigers" thing sounds like such a bullshit urban legend that I'm surprised to see so many people take it seriously

there's a pretty strong "Trump vs. Hillary" vibe to the whole series

Tales from the Loop is bad, IMO. An attempt at one of those all-style, no-story shows except the style isn't interesting because (as far as I can tell) they never do anything with the setting or the robots or the cgi Soviet bread trucks that they couldn't do in normal-rear end reality.

Most of the actors suck (especially the kids), the score is somehow both obnoxious and insipid, and it's got a self-serious style that entirely forgoes humor and basic characterization.

Tales from the Loop is an envelope covered in interesting exotic postage stamps. When you open it, you find a blank sheet of paper that smells like the sender farted on it.

The first episode was kind of interesting but I can easily see how this is how the rest shakes out and with a name like "fart store" you are probably the expert on flatulence logistics.

To elaborate:

the whole series, a blind girl has got her sight back and has been saying she somehow "knows how the aliens feel" even though the only thing we've seen so far are metal dogs with organic brains. anyway this girl is like "I have to go to the aliens" and climbs into some wreckage or whatever and the latest episode ends on her coming across a human in a pod with a bunch of tubes coming out of him and he's like "help me" SMASH CUT TO BLACK

I'm enjoying "Tales from the Loop" but it is no way a bingeable show. It's something you watch an episode of every few days to slow down and take in the atmosphere.

(Day one morning, me (as a mole) walking in the middle of the sunny day, i sat on the ground, looking at the sun rising up the sky, but there’s a female orange and brown mouse wearing a blue and yellow dress named Kelly, her tummy started hurting as she walked)

Me: What’s wrong, Kelly?

Kelly: my tummy hurts!

Me: I know your tummy is uncomfortable.

Kelly: Huh?! (Her tummy grumbles) ooh!

Me: are you okay?

Kelly: Yeah.

Me: *lays on the ground* are you sure?

Kelly: Yeah, my dress is lifting up hardly by itself...

*Then She Sits on My Face*

Me: *Sniffs* *My Eyes closes*

Kelly: *farts on my face for a second*

Me: *my eyes still closed*

Kelly: *rips another fart on my face* oh gosh! Oh gosh! *farts loudly*

Me: *sniffs* oh my gosh! it smells like rotten cheese with stinky rotten stuff.

Kelly: *letting out a loud wet fart*

Me: *sniffs* ooh! Your farts smells good.

Kelly: *sighs* I know *rips a loud sounding fart*

Me: *moves my arms a bit*

Kelly: *she moans as she let out a smelly fart*

Me: *whimpers painfully*

Kelly: *sighs and moans of relief* what a relief.

Me: *coughs*

Kelly: *gets up* thank you for your help

Me: you’re welcome, Mrs. Kelly.

Kelly: *walks away* I hope you enjoy yourself.

Me: okay, bye missy.

Kelly: bye bye, miss mole.

Me: *I waved at her as we are finished*
