It took me way too many reads to not parse that as Jason Schwartzman being God.

That’s some great casting, wow. The Underground Railroad is up on prime now. Ten episodes of Barry Motherfuckin Jenkins adapting Colson Motherfuckin Whitehead. Also there’s a thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3967392

The latest episode of Clarice directly addressed the transphobic elements of Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. I was not expecting that.

I dunno who does casting for Mom, but I’m always impressed by the names they manage to get on that show. I’m not sure how many shows outside of law and order guest spots have had more recognizable people in. Most recent ‘wait, is that?’ is Melanie Lynskey, with Bob Odenkirk being a real surprise from a few weeks ago.

Haha speaking of “names” I am rewatching the Nanny on HBO Max (watched portions as a kid with my mom) and I swear, every other guest star gets this massive audience pop and I just got “goddamn it” and head to IMBD because I never know them. I don’t know if it’s because of my age or my lack of theatre knowledge or both.

Odenkirk is a surprise, though.

Love Death Robots season 2 is out apparently. Think I might watch through tonight. Anybody watch any yet?

Only the first episode so far. It was ok, but the character design was so gross and creepy in a really funny way and it ruled

so it's a remake of D.O.A. but without the film noir?

The action in Gangs of London is very good especially in the episode that aired this week (ep6.) Although one thing that kind of took me out of the episode was it looked like one of the attackers was wearing a Mass Effect hoodie. It probably wasn't actually but it had a similar color scheme.

I don’t know if it’s because of my age or my lack of theatre knowledge or both. A little of both. It was definitely geared towards an older generation. Coolio pops up in a late season episode. That was probably as close to contemporary as it got. The Nanny never was never deeper than background noise, but it absolutely falls off a cliff a few seasons in.

There was a Russian version of The Nanny that just remade the American eps, and it was so popular over there, that once the ran out of scripts to remake, they brought in the American writers to write new scripts. Also, the IMDB page (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0442726/) has almost a thousand photos from the series.

Man I loving hate how these first two new Love Death + Robots shorts look, and for completely different reasons. The first is just grotesque, like an entire episode made of Spumco close-up interpretations of the old guy from Up. The second looks like it’s trying to do a Genndy Tartakovsky thing from the wide angles but all the close-ups are so hosed up and distorted that they look like someone used the wrong aspect ratio.

B Positive ended for the season yesterday with Middleditch being put under for his kidney transplant and if they have the guts to kill him off between seasons and change the show so it’s about Gina and Eli’s relationship, I will high five everyone responsible. I can’t even imagine his character testing well with audiences who don’t care about the actors bullshit.

It felt a little "video game cut scene" at first but it grew on me. I skipped to it to get some cyberpunk vibes, and it's not subtle or original, but it's solid. e: Oh snap, 4 has great animation. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 03:53 on May 15, 2021 |

I do wonder how they did it because I don’t know anyone who didn’t have the same order (with Sonnie’s Edge as the first episode, then Three Robots - The Witness - Suits, etc)

Three Robots was definitely the first for me. I specifically remember watching Zima Blue last and thinking "wow I guess they really did save the best one for last"

Escobarbarian posted:I do wonder how they did it because I don’t know anyone who didn’t have the same order (with Sonnie’s Edge as the first episode, then Three Robots - The Witness - Suits, etc) I got Sonnie's Edge too, but I just checked right now and my order has changed to the one with Three Robots first. That's using the same Netflix account. Now I wonder how often they shuffle it. I have to say, I really don't like the argument that the order shouldn't matter because it's an anthology. An anthology is still an artistic work, and the order in which you watch the episodes is an important part of the experience. I mean, would you argue that the order of songs on a music album doesn't matter? Context is important!

Netflix is being a bit technical here, no? They absolutely have data on what they suspect our gender/ethnicity/sexuality is, and they're probably right. They just don't have the info directly.
