Anonymous Robot posted:It’s a real trip to watch, that’s for sure. A rock solid conceit, technical proficiency, wonderful visuals, and a script that misses its own point so hard that it’s all jettisoned into a trash fire. Yeah I don’t agree with a letter of this post and I think it’s the funniest film of the year and I am now working with one of the leads in a short film and I can’t wait. Sorry it’s not your thing but that humor is right up my alley. I love that mean weird poo poo. It’s very invader Zim and Rick and Morty.

Fohhhhhhh Better Call Saul could have been a good scheme-of-the-week show but the decision to make it Breaking Bad but Less Funny and Less Bodies Dissolved In Acid made it bad imo.

Samuel Clemens posted:Put it this way. 400 hours equals somewhere around 250 films. I know people who watch 3-4 times that amount a year, and they're not getting paid for it. I have no doubt some fans dedicate the same amount of free time to TV sitcoms, even if good taste says they probably shouldn't. You know people that watch between 2 and 3 films every single day of the year? And it isn't their job? What the hell do these people do for a living, and when do they have time to do anything besides work, sleep,, eat and watch films?

Hey do any of you know stuff about tube amps? I have an old Silvertone 1484 that makes a buzzing sound and when I cut the signal I can hear the power amp tubes making that sound. I never noticed if they always made that sound and it just wasn't audible in the signal of if my problem is just the tubes. They're a pair of 6L6s.

Better Call Saul is actually a better show than Breaking Bad. There’s still stuff that drags, generally the Gus and Mike stuff that leans too heavily on BB, but overall I just love it. It’s got some killer performances. I just hope the final season doesn’t try too hard to connect all the dots to BB or go to pains to have everything neatly set up. It’s generally a better show when it can stand on its own instead of being Breaking Bad: The Prequel.

It was mostly just seeing the phrase "what kind of top comedy list has girls on it" threw me for a loving loop until I realized they meant the show titled Girls and not just women in comedy in general.

I wish I could remember the name of it but there's a documentary about some guys with unhealthy obsessions with watching movies. One of them would eat stuff that made him constipated so he would have more time to watch movies instead of going to the bathroom. edit: It's called Cinemania.

So Jon Stewart's got brain worms now and is going around saying that the coronavirus was created in a lab. I wonder how long it is before he goes full Dennis Miller and starts being a conservative mouth piece.

Yeah it was cool when he'd tear Tucker Carlson apart, but that guy is more popular than ever while going full mask off white supremacist, so it's not like that even did anything useful.

He seemed pretty sincere and I don't think he was doing a bit because he's not that good of an actor.

He did whatever he could to give her an out (re: colorism and lack of afro-latinxs in In The Heights) but she just ran past that and...well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrM5M1ZK1JU&t=77s

I would have bought into the whole concept of the racial fluidity thing in Cloud Atlas if they stuck a single person in blackface prosthetics, but apparently that's the bad kind, but slap some slant eyes on everyone else and everything's cool and groovy. But then again what can one expect, most people didn't understand Asian racism was a thing until this year.
