Rewatching China, IL on HBO Max and it is so much better uncensored. Also really goofy that the show also stars Oscar nominated Director/Writer Greta Gerwig.

The return of Raylan Givens? Still in early stages of development but Justified creator Graham Yost is doing another Elmore Leonard adaptation for FX with talks to bring back Timothy Olyphant as Raylan.

Speaking of cop shows, I don't think there's ever been a finer "Gotcha" than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHhXZjUCB1c&t=256s The quivering lip at the end ...

Peter Falk definitely elevates what's already there for sure but it's generally a really well written show before you even get to the performances. It helps that it's nowhere near as full of filler since it's not a traditional network drama and is instead small seasons of movie length episodes.

Falk is just a treasure in general. Love him in the in laws

"Fans are clamoring for Clarice" is a promo I just saw at the end of a CBS show. I forgot this even existed-did anyone here watch it and if so how bad is it?

Is it only streaming on Prime through IMDB with ads or is there a place I can stream it ad free? And no I won't be stealing Columbo episodes, I'd surely be caught by my overconfidence and underestimation of the investigating detective.

That’s how I’ve been watching it, not sure if there’s an alternative. I just watch it on my Xbox because I’m lazy but if you watch it in a browser with an adblocker it’ll skip almost all of the ads.

Columbo is on Peacock. Except for the two pilots. EDIT: Scratch that, the pilots are there but as movies and not with the series.

Is anyone watching Firefly Lane? The description says it's about "a friendship that lasts two women from their teens into their fourties" but really it's just a suuuuuper hosed up paradigm between two people. Tully is a poo poo friend, jesus.

Sirotan posted:"Fans are clamoring for Clarice" is a promo I just saw at the end of a CBS show. I forgot this even existed-did anyone here watch it and if so how bad is it? It’s a fairly typical procedural. The first couple of episodes are annoying with how Clarice’s comrades are pointlessly dickish, but that gets sorted out. The Silence of the Lambs background is purely for emotion and character development while the overarching plot (at least at this point) is a corporate conspiracy, so it’s not what you’d expect from the property.

zoux posted:More journalistic malpractice from the Daily Planet Just ... just what are the dimensions on that poor paper? I can't even tell how many columns there are. Six is pretty common now, but that's at least six on that page and way thicker than six columns should be. And all of this is ABOVE the fold. And no graphics, except for the flag. That layout person needs to be fired.

Are there any references to the Silence of the Lambs universe at all, or did they seriously just pay a licensing fee to call the main character "Clarice"?

Slamhound posted:A lot, actually. They rely pretty heavily on Buffalo Bill; recreating Clarice’s taking him down. The central trait of Clarice is that she’s suffering from PTSD from the whole thing. The politician who’s daughter was in the well has pulled Clarice out of mothballs and assigned her to this mew task force. And the daughter is a currently minor character who still has Precious and is also emotionally crippled from it all. Hannibal is referenced but not specifically mentioned. Yeah, there are a lot of direct references to Silence of the Lambs, and the show draws heavily from the book's smaller details. The one thing they are completely prohibited from doing is any specific mention of Hannibal Lecter, as those character rights are completely turbofucked, so in the pilot, for example, they just have an oblique reference to something like "your last psychiatrist."

I blame Dino DeLaurentiis for the rights issues. I know he died years ago but the dude was a creep.
