Raeg posted:For years I've been trying to remember what this show was called for the exact reason of child murder via space death. I could never find anything through googling it because all I remembered was some kind of giant swinging spiked ball that getting hit by sent you to the cold depths of space. I'm genuinely surprised more than one person remembers it. Also there seems to be zero footage of it.

The adventure game had a talking pot plant sucking kids into the eternal void of space. Knightmare used to off kids in all manner of different ways, a swinging spiked ball sounds totally on brand there but it was medieval themed.

EL BROMANCE posted:Haven’t had chance to give Gladiators a proper try yet, but really glad they leaned into the ‘let’s do everything the same as the 90s’ aspect, from logos and music to presumably the same arena. It is gloriously wholesome and ridiculous and the homoerotic subtext from the 90s is now text in mile high flaming letters, and this is wonderful.

Switched on ITV for some of their Oscars coverage before I went to bed and what a dire state of affairs it was. Bunch of people who didn't really seem all that interested in movies trying to struggle for something to say and all oddly agreeing that OPPENHEIMER wasn't that good and was the weakest of the nominees. It was pretty clear that they hadn't all even seen the movies that were nominated. I get none of it is serious but it's wild that you can't even throw together some people who might be interested in whats going on? They didn't even learn the right way to pronounce most people's names.

Pottery throwdown spoilers Absolutely obvious from day one who was going to win. Still felt nice I guess - honestly if she'd hosed up and Dan had won I'd probably have been kinda annoyed. I know that you can't go "well you did really well before and yea you hosed up once but you deserved the win" but when it DOESN'T happen like that it often feels lovely. When a person is the best in 10 episodes but ruins it in episode 11 it feels like a bit of a bad narrative. Watching things like Throwdown and Masterchef and Landscape Artist does make me wonder how much input the show producers have on who actually wins. With Landscape you've gotta present the final episode so if they picked one of the mega awkward people it'd probably end up with a really uncomfortable episode - that sorta thing. I know that in gameshows that have returning people - say for example Blockbusters, or Pointless - they'll often 'fix it' in a way by putting up someone stupid so the person who the audience likes gets a better story. I just wonder how much of that happens in these other things. The Apprentice nowadays is basically all fixed and about the story now, doesn't seem unreasonable that other shows might also be.

I read another discussion elsewhere which was that, given his Ditko documentary, his Kamen Rider collection, and all that poo poo, he absolutely loving knows but is compelled to pretend he doesn't so the unwashed masses don't feel intimidated/stupid/sincerity/educated/etc.

Taear posted:Pottery throwdown spoilers That's true, though I was still rooting for Dan. It hasn't been this one sided since season one. Pretty weird that Donna didn't tell her kids. I wonder what story they told them. Overall, I think they've been handling the judging well the past few seasons. I remember being quite upset about some of the decisions in the early seasons. I'm still mad about Elaine's elimination in season two.

More throwdown stuff Jan going still felt weird as hell. Not to say she hadn't done kinda badly in that episode but i felt Dave did worse. I don't like Dan though, he has a weird divorced dad energy to him. He also comes off like he has loads of money but I guess how can you possibly be doing pottery if you haven't got loads of money

Taear posted:More throwdown stuff In regards to Jan, I think they did a poor job editing the episode to justify their choice. But, the choice wasn't confusing to me personally. Jan's form wasn't very good or as ambitious as Dave's. Dave's didn't turn out very well, but this was primarily because of his accident. The original form was better, and persevered to salvage it as best he could, which they acknowledged also shows skill. I think it could have been either of them, but I don't think Jan was an unreasonable choice.

I wouldn't say it was confusing - like I said she had made mistakes and it wasn't really down to her not deserving to go. It just felt like Dave completely hosed it that week and even he expected to go. Every week in every episode of the show I've been able to call who is going to leave, it's usually pretty clear. That's the only one where I went "Oh, huh?" It's not at the level of Jurgen leaving in Bake Off, more just a little surprising when all the rest of the time it never is

Started the UK version of Traitors earlier and I like Claudia but I was partially clicking to see some more Alan Cummings outfits, so it was an unfair start. I did like the first line-up game, don't know if I'll see it all through but I do want to know: Do the two immediately cut people ever sneak back into the game as double secret traitors or something, or was it just a straight up cut?

Man, the final series of the Crown really is loving atrocious. Granted, it's been on a downward slope since the Coleman era, but the number of times I groaned 'oh gently caress OFF...' in this one was unparalleled. Ghosts, characters talking to their past selves, domestic staff spontaneously breaking into folk singing at the sound of bagpipes, the Hallmark quality Will-and-Kate romance stuff...just awful. . I'm very glad it's over. ...although now I hope they bring it back just for Johnson, Truss, and the current 'where's Kate' mystery...

Watched the first episode of Things You Should Have Done last night. Wife fell asleep immediately but I thought it was fairly original and somewhat funny in places. Brought back memories though as it's based in Ramsgate and featured a road I got arrested on a while back.

I've been watching The Gentleman on Netflix. It's standard Guy Ritchie shlock but I've been enjoying it so far. Could not figure out where I knew the female lead from, turns out she was Effy in Skins (17 years ago!)

I wonder how much success winning Landscape Artist gives people? So far it kinda feels like the answer is "Not much" although each winner does at least seem to be working in art still. What I've found REALLY weird is there's an actual series in 2020. They cut the amount of artists down from 8 to 6 and they're quite spaced out but they make NO reference to it whatsoever. They also made no reference to frank skinner being gone. Is this because the show assumes you're watching portrait artist and they talked about it there? Every other programme specifically says "we've made these changes because of Covid"

ConanThe3rd posted:Man Motormouth. Of absolutely no note beyond being my neophyte encounter with anime via Samurai Pizza Cats. Late to the party here but the kids in Terror Towers weren't "killed" as such, they were told they had to live in Terror Towers......FOREVER *cue Steve Johnson wiggling his eyebrows and laughing maniacally* Steve did however also present the precursor to Mouse Trap on Motormouth, called "It's Torture!" where the kids WERE "killed off" in particularly gruesome ways. There's pretty much no footage of it but I distinctively remember a general knowledge round where "1 Ton" weights were lowered on top of players heads and another round where they were on some sort of treadmill and answering questions incorrectly led them to falling into a vat of "lava". All good clean fun, though 8 year old me was absolutely terrified of it at the time

The Youtube channel I mentioned earlier that was uploading a bunch of Number 73s has also now uploaded a couple of full-ish (i.e. cartoons and maybe some music performances clipped out) episodes of Motormouth. Given the name, it looks like they're working through archival stuff from Maidstone specifically. https://www.youtube.com/@Made-in-Maidstone/videos

Mandy is great, I would say the first episode sets up expectations on how things will go nicely. Just watched race across the world, like a lot of these things you have no idea what the producers force or what other unseen rules they have but some seem to absolutely piss through the money.
