Rapey Joe Stalin posted:Yeah, it's just utterly sublime. Wogan was perfect as a guest host, Hound's just really good at panel shows, and James Blunt was an amazingly good sport. Yeah. I never thought that "James Blunt riding Phill Jupitus while they both sing the introduction to Baba O'Riley" is a thing I would experience in life, but it was amazing. SALT CURES HAM posted:No show's ending will ever match up to Breaking Bad's ending, so arguing about which lesser endings are the worst out of all the lesser endings out there is super dumb. Honestly? I think the Sopranos' ending was superior to Breaking Bad's. Breaking Bad was, on the whole, a better show, but the Sopranos' ending was better.

Rabbit Hill posted:Anybody here who has seen a ton of Never Mind the Buzzcocks? At some point (I think during the Simon Amstell period) Phill Jupitus went on a long joke about a Victorian steampowered vibrator, and it was hilarious and I want to find it to watch again but all my searching has been fruitless. Although I did get to see the episode with Richard Ayoade as the host, which just made my day. This one.

Do you know for a fact that Irish Joe is from the US, even? When talking about an American actress, in an American show, on an American network, it's probably a good idea to have some idea of how comments might be viewed by Americans.

I don't see any qualifications in this:Rapey Joe Stalin posted:What he said was not racist at all. And if you think it was then it's your own thoughts colouring his words. He said that it wasn't racist and Occupation was racist for seeing racism in it, speaking unambiguously and without qualification.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:I didn't say any such thing. I said that perhaps Occupation was seeing things because he wanted to see them. Perhaps if you're so desperate to take a moral highground that you are making poo poo up you should sit the gently caress down? And again you show your ignorance - "You're the real racist for noticing racism!" is a depressingly common argument in American racial discourse.

Aphrodite posted:Well, there's the scene where they decided Littlefinger's story couldn't carry itself so he should be telling it while teaching his new recruit how to do women. Which is really perfect, because his whole monologue there is about hiding behind stuff for people to fixate on, while people fixate on the sex and ignore what he's saying.

To be entirely honest, the reason I haven't caught up more on Person of Interest is the rapturous way that people talk about it. I've seen the first 10 episodes of season 1 and I've really enjoyed what I've seen, but the constant nigh-orgasmic reactions people have to it are grating as hell, especially because I don't really see anything that exceptional about the show. I mean, it's very competent - well-acted, well-written, well-designed, etc. but I just don't see anything very special about it.

hcreight posted:This is technically the first time it's been syndicated. But local Fox stations have been allowed to air old seasons during local programming blocks since the mid-90s. I do wonder if syndicated Simpsons really is worth that kind of money, though. I think in FX's mind, the big draw is getting the online rights.

STAC Goat posted:Probably because its not really there? It's just an angst ridden brother relationship due to all kinds of trauma, stress, and family issues. For whatever reason it seems like some people just can't embrace the idea that they're brothers or get behind the idea of brothers talking about stuff. I don't know. I don't get it unless I assume people just aren't able at all to buy into the idea of these two as brothers with a lot of history and just see them as two dudes. In which case "those two dudes are talking about how much they missed each other and one abandoning the other. That's gay." Any time two men have a deep friendship on television, they're secretly gay.

Eau de MacGowan posted:In House of Cards does Kevin Spacey turning to the camera and doing smarmy monologues go beyond the first episode? It's infuriating on almost every level. The camera turning stuff is one of the best facets of the character. He's such an rear end in a top hat, but he's so good at it. Plus, Kevin Spacey is just naturally charming as hell.
