Khanstant posted:lol some guy in the comments is immediately like "this guy is arguing for capitalism, against corporatism." Impressive. Seeing as how they are currently shoveling as many human lives as they can into the boiler fires of Capitalism’s furnace while the richest dozen guys race bathtubs to outer space, I think we are probably hosed. In other news I finally started For All Mankind and it’s pretty good!

Movies on cable are slowly becoming uncensored which after years of hearing Shawshank either chopped up or over dubbed, is taking some time to get used to.

First two episodes of Hawkeye are surprisingly low stakes and fairly boring. Hailee Steinfeld is better than this.

I mean, Shang Chi used the word "poo poo" at one point; it's notable though that USA has gone from notncensroing the c-word in Mr Robot to censoring it in Chucky.

mayor of kingstown so its pretty interesting. I'd say that it rises to the realism of a show like the shield... which my decaying memory says is a bit more believable than yellowstone. Pretty compelling concept for a show. Can't think of anything exactly the same. I have heard of ex-cons that consult to first time prisoners but never a go-between for all the sides. Each episode has been better than the last so hopefully it builds into a properly legit show. Right now I would agree with the 7.8 on imdb.

See I read that Peter Jackson had to fight D+ to include the Beatles cussing on that new doc he did, and the streaming services self-censoring to be more family friendly (which is essentially what basic cable does now) would loving ruin TV again. Stellan Skarsgard also said some poo poo like that is already going on in an interview the other day. Yeah this is really the only worthwhile argument in regards to the ubiquity of superhero movies being negative. They're the only ones opening in the theaters bc corporate can bank on them making a certain ROI.

Liking Yellow Jackets so far but the future/past framing device is really starting to wear thin. The future intermissions feel like jumps to a much less interesting show that I'm not really interested in watching.

I can see that, but I’m willing to wait to see if it builds to something and right now I kind of like how it lulls me into a false sense of security before slapping me in the face with teenage cannibal woods cult stuff. “Huh wow this lady’s marriage is falling apart that sucks for he-“ *shot of a 17 year old blonde woman stalking through the snow, covered in blood and animal hides with a spear salvaged from airplane parts* “Well, gently caress!”

I enjoy the Ricci/Lewis double act and everything related to it but Lynskey, as great as she is, needs to become part of the main storyline fast because the whole affair thing isn’t v interesting

My wife is watching OG Dexter for whatever reason, and for all of the criticisms I've heard about this show the most offensive thing to me thus far is that they play the opening credits and then do the recap, and not the other way around. Barbaric IMO.

I'm finding the present stuff more compelling because at this point all of the lost stuff feels like it's just building to Warlord Misty which I am obviously all for. But I wonder how much juice is in that. (speculation) Maybe we get a split off tribe? The present day narrative seems to have more potential. Also because Christina Ricci is so much fun.

Also Amazon has 2 months of Showtime for .99 on a deal through tomorrow. That should be enough to get you through the season.

Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted censors "gently caress" but I think all of the other curses he says are still there. I think the fact that it's in the National Geographic section and not one of the "main" Disney+ channels helps.

Barbaric IMO. The open credits are by far the best part of the show, so maybe they realized they needed to lead with them to rope viewers in. One of my favorite bits of Dexter was when he's sleep deprived after Harrison is born and he tries to recreate the opening credits but keeps messing things up.

A marketing company called Digital Kitchen created the intros for Dexter, Six Feet Under, and True Blood. They were on a roll for a while.

Has anyone else been watching Guilty Party? It's very much in that Weeds/Big C/Nurse Jackie mould of great forty-something actress + half hour comedy + high stakes drama, with Kate Beckinsdale taking up the role of "great actress". And, you know what, she's actually really loving good as the terribly broken, compulsive lying danger monkey, laughed out of her job reporter. There's some dumb gestures at comedy early on, but it settles into a more cutting, emotional register around about second or third episode while still being a bit light. It's no Blindspotting like hidden gem, but it's pretty decent.

Hell yeah loving love Kyle Mooney. I've been kind of surprised he's been on SNL so long given how esoteric his characters and bits are. Beck Bennet always seemed like the more normie guy of the duo and he shows up in so many sketches I was surprised he was the one to leave first. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc61ONXClhA That's such a perfectly realized character and a great joke

I have a fire stick HD and the hulu app keeps doing this thing where an episode of a show will reach an act break and when it resumes from the cut the audio is gone and the app will freeze/become unresponsive and the only way to fix this is to restart the fire stick? I don't know if it's the fire stick or the app, it only seems to happen with hulu and I've reinstalled the app a few times at this point. I just want to check if anyone else has experienced this before I decide to get another stick or a different streaming device.

PEN15’s upcoming set of season 2 episodes will be the show’s last. Interestingly, Hulu were all ready to renew for s3, but Erskine and Konkle decided to end it here. South Side season 2 is a big improvement but also it’s so weird and I hardly ever know what’s going on

South Side is fantastic and as someone who was born and raised in the land, I can confirm the confusion adds to the realism of living there.

Sankis posted:the saved by the bell reboot continues to be really loving good but no one i know will watch it Since my wife had to work over thanksgiving I ended up bringing both seasons of it and, as someone who grew up with the original, I had a LOT of feelings about it. It’s way better than it has any right to be. It also has a lot to say about how terrible the original show/characters could be, which (in hindsight) is on point. But still makes me feel weird for being so invested in it at one point in my teen life. Also it’s 100x funnier than the original Other things I binged over the holiday: The Beatles Get Back doc is incredibly fascinating. After 8 hours I could have happily watched 8 more. I can’t imagine anyone who isn’t a Beatles fan enjoying it, but I found it engrossing as hell Finally got the AS app to cooperate and caught up on Joe Pera(balls). Continues to be the best show on tv. Finished The Great s2. Absolutely fantastic, hilarious, and horrifying all at once On the other end of the spectrum, Locke and Key s2 was absolute garbage
