precision posted:Black Monday is up there with No Activity as far as "recent comedies that are so good why isn't anybody watching them?" Tried watching it recently, I found it terrible. Plenty of jokes flying but not one hit. Maybe you need to watch a few eps to connect with the characters first? But its paced like a zany sitcom. E: talking about Black Monday

I saw that both Black Monday and Billions (which starts in May) are getting half seasons due to production shut downs. The second half will be finished some time later. I also read the new mini-series based on The Stand completed post production in early March. Do you think they are going to delay The Stand due to the subject matter? Or is this a perfect time to release it in 2020?

The are going to have to delay it, there's just no way they should release it this year. It's not really the time to release a miniseries about a pandemic when we're digging mass graves and storing bodies in refrigerated trucks. We also don't need anything to fan the imaginations of crazies that already think this was a bioweapon gone wrong.

If anything they will throw in a couple reshoots and ADR to refer to specific things to make it even more about this, and be the first thing out.

Kinda surprised about Black Monday, on show lengths like that I always presumed the whole thing was in the can before the first episode airs. Maybe it's all shot, but some episodes are still in post?

Had to tap out after the first season of Billions There's only so many times you can get me to keep watching for the extremely narrow fetish niche of "Paul Giamatti is a very naughty boy"

I should probably watch I Am Not Okay With This because it basically appears to be Life is Strange with the serial numbers filed off.

So it turns out Splash is on Disney+ and they found an interesting way to edit out the butts. https://twitter.com/AllisonPregler/status/1249616330220847106

muscles like this! posted:So it turns out Splash is on Disney+ and they found an interesting way to edit out the butts. I feel like there's a disconnect between how they marketed Disney+ as the ultimate archive of everything Disney ever made and then actually a delivered a platform that's mostly curated and sanitized to serve as a family-friendly streaming platform. Like I get why they wouldn't want the old cartoons of Donal Duck heiling Hitler and Mickey shilling for war bonds and Fig Newtons or Goofy smoking and taking goof balls just out there in the open but there's a real dearth of any of their animated shorts on there. Same with all the objectively-terrible early Disney Channel stuff where they just had people in costumes pantomiming as Pooh or Dumbo because they couldn't afford actual animation, it would be really interesting just as a piece of history but it's not there. Or as someone who grew up watching Vault Disney the fact that The Wonderful World of Disney and The Mickey Mouse Club are only there as a small curated number of episodes is a regression compared to what they would allow on basic cable 20 years ago.

The butts are the only thing I even remember from Splash. e: And yeah, the only interest I have in Disney+ would be if they made an effort to get all of their obscure and unreleased stuff on there. Give me the Hardy Boys serials restored in HD and we can start to talk. Hell, I'll take restored versions of the Ewok movies and the Droids cartoon. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Apr 13, 2020 |

I really hope butts being edited out becomes a B plot for Tina on a Bob's Burgers episode.

Westworld this week is basically Jonah Nolan being like “I have a cool idea for a futuristic drug!” and then shoehorning it into a story where it serves the story in literally no way whatsoever.

I watched the first episode of Westworld S3 and had less than zero desire to keep watching. It's kind of impressive just how many new ways they're coming up with to have nonsense plots I guess I'd lol if the season is building up to the reveal that the real world is just another game though

Yeah, I was fine with WW3 going in any direction story-wise, but holy poo poo was that first episode poorly written. Godawful dialogue, not an ounce of subtlety, and in love with itself.

I’m not kidding that literally the best thing about the season so far has been the orchestral arrangement of The Weeknd’s “Wicked Games”

I really like Lost in retrospect and most of the problems come from being on network. Lindelof is good.

I've seen like five goons recently say that season 1 was their favorite Leftovers season, so now I don't feel quite so insane for having that opinion S2 is still really really good but man S1 just did it for me

Part of that is definitely because I can watch it and see a bunch of places I recognize, but something about the relatively quicker pace just does it for me.

I Am Not Okay With This isn’t that similar to Life is Strange, but it’s still worth a watch for the last episode especially.

It’s so bad. It looks a lot cheaper, the art design got super boring, and just... ugh. I made a thread for it if you want to read a bunch of goons talk about why they don’t like it. I honestly really wanted to like S2, I love the books and I enjoyed 90 percent of the first season, but 2 makes it apparent the books were doing most of the heavy lifting. The Thread
