luchajones posted:Or it was Tarantino doing that since it was his story? Tarantino just wrote the script, and if had also directed then he wouldn't have boomer'd all over the screen with shots like where they're in that hotel room and images of Vietnam and the Kennedy assassination are being projected all over the back wall.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:I’ve never seen Twin Peaks, can one jump into the new series and enjoy it or am I gonna be super confused no, its a direct continuation of both the original series and the movie and doesn't do a recap. i mean maybe you could make as much sense out of it as anyone else but its unlikely. season 1 and fire walk with me are great anyway. season 2 has a lot of filler but a real good ending and beginning. amazon prime is doing a free 30 day showtime trial so you can sign up for that to watch it all without  if you're so inclined. gotta light?

I want Mike and Rich do the good TNG and Voyager episodes on thematic basis. Maybe throw in similar scifi movies or books in the same tREk:VIEW shows. Just turn RLM into a scifi channel. stephenthinkpad fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Apr 12, 2020 |

luchajones posted:not trying to argue. Was MediaPlay considered lesser than Suncoast? I don't know about "lesser", but from what I understand their locations were a lot bigger. And bigger locations could take in inventory that was taking up too much space in a smaller store. (Like, I remember the Tower Records next to my college was considered to be fairly high-end by the standards of record stores, but it was so huge that you could find all kinds of weird junk in the discount bins.)

Great episode. I haven't seen Freaked in years. That late 80's/early 90's experimental, counter-culture MTV is extremely my poo poo and I had no idea Alex Winters was a big part of that.

DoombatINC posted:Freaked is so amazing and funny, and it's tragic how totally unknown it is I only knew about it because as a kid I found it in a pile of my dad's recorded blank VHS tapes (this one with "Freaked" neatly sharpied on a sticker). I rewatched the hell out of this movie during my middle school years. This movie has probably had an influence on my overall taste of humor as there isn't much else that gets me rolling like this one does. The Naked Gun series is pretty close. The quick aggressive style of the jokes along with the wit and satire is definitely appealing for a kid. So glad this movie's existence is getting a little bit of a spotlight, because almost no one else seemed to know about it for me. Wicker Man fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Apr 12, 2020 |

Mordja posted:James was always cool. Yeah, funny how David Lynch felt the need to create an entire scene in S3 that basically led up to, "James was always cool." No, David, no he wasn't. If he was, you wouldn't have needed to literally TELL THE AUDIENCE that he was. However, I'll give him this - James is at least cooler than Wally Brando.

He was also a huge alcoholic and may have murdered a young lover of his whilst in a drunken stupor. One time when he got into a drunken chase with the police, he crashed his car. When the cops came up to his car with their guns drawn he rolled down the window and ordered a double cheeseburger and a vanilla shake. Nothing?

I've never seen or heard of freaked before this re:view but I vibed with the attitude of the manic, messy early 90's, and fangoria-reading special fx obsession the 90's gets flattened down to, like, grunge, brief window of american peace and prosperity, and hackers/TLC in 1992-style colorful goofiness, scream/TLC in 1996-style knowing cynicism and all those max martin pop songs that have super in-your-face synthetic percussion like BWOWM-BWOWM-BWAH-NAHM but it also had some of those beautiful slices of popular culture between corporations managing to consolidate That Which Shall Be Sold where truly weird and wonderful poo poo manages to eek out into the mainstream before the suits realize what's happening I've been trying to put people up on liquid television for ages. for the longest time, all you could find was a "best of" dvd (I imagine the rights are a nightmare) but eventually somebody transferred the entire series from vhs and put it on the internet, and it's a holy blessed mess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKc2_QIO0Yo

Pete and Pete was created by people who made interstitials and filler for Nickelodeon and basically whenever a production company were desperate for programming to fill the schedule they would go to the interstitial people who had a proven track record for working on a shoestring budget. That's where Liquid Television, Toonami, and later adult swim came from.

Wikipedia posted:In 1995, Allen was married to Donita Woodruff, whom he met in 1990. Woodruff learned that Allen had previously dated a woman named Valerie Taylor intermittently starting in 1985, which led to a dispute between Woodruff and Taylor. Woodruff suspected that Taylor had a criminal past, and found enough evidence to persuade the police to arrest her in 1996 for a 1979 murder in South Carolina. Taylor pleaded self-defense and served two years. Allen and Woodruff were divorced in 1998 Wow

Raskolnikov38 posted:what a cartoon owned and was where courage the cowardly dog came from I think? I think alot of the Cartoon Network original shows that weren't old Hanna Barbera reruns and Tom and Jerry cartoons started out as pilots on What a Cartoon. Courage definitely did, as did Powerpuff Girls. I'm not really into Family Guy, but there was a pilot on What a Cartoon that was basically a test run for Family Guy. e: Oh, Johnny Bravo too. You know probably the first lineup of Cartoon Network orignal show must have started on there.
