I have to jump in and correct the record because season three of Justified owns bones. Quarles is, as others have said, a delightful brand of unpredictable sociopathy, and the four-way chess match between the various factions in Harlan is ridiculously fun.

I've got an 18-hour bus ride ahead of me tonight, and there are a bunch of stops/transfers so I won't get a full night's sleep. I think I'm going to get my hands on some American Horror Story to celebrate Halloween since I'm not in a position to actually do Halloween things tonight

Cactus posted:You have to enjoy unpleasant feelings to like Girls. It certainly isn't for everyone and no-one should feel like they're missing out or not understanding something if they don't like it, despite what numerous articles written about the show would want to have you believe. I've watched both seasons of Girls and understand it perfectly and am beyond done with it. To be more positive, I've been watching through Always Sunny and it's so great. I think I've reached a point where I have to take at least a couple days' break from it so I don't burn out. I can only embrace the horribleness for so long at a time.

Irish Joe posted:You can say the same thing about The Nutcracker and it wouldn't make that show any less boring. Here's the thing about opera, ballet and classical symphonies: we're all familiar with them because they're associated with things we like (Big Bird, Natalie Portman and Looney Tunes, respectively). Remove that association and all that's left are things we don't really enjoy on their own. I know opera tends to get a pass because its 'sophisticated,' but think of it this way: you don't like Polka even though Weird Al has produced a hundred awesome polka mash-ups, so why do you think other people would enjoy Carmen just because it was on Sesame Street 30 years ago? I wasn't gonna take the bait but if you're gonna pretend that my giant music boner for Mahler and Tchaikovsky is because of nostalgia, you're high as poo poo. If you don't like classical/orchestral music that's fine I guess but it's not because the music isn't powerful on its own. You're probably just loving with us anyway, so whatever. Anyway, I watched the pilot of American Horror Story a few days ago. It was pretty great. Looking forward to seeing where the craziness goes from there. I also liked the pitch-black humor, like the image of Dylan McDermott jacking it while sobbing uncontrollably.

I got a little put off from Helix after seeing the trailer 40 billion times while watching the Twilight Zone marathon on New Year's Eve. Oh well, hope it's good anyway! Also I watched the pilot of Justified again today and OOPS looks like I'm doing a rewatch. Sorry, American Horror Story, looks like I'm getting sidetracked for a bit.

PriorMarcus posted:Really I loving love Justified, it's one of my favourite shows at the moment and you're right about the dialogue. Oh cool. Then it sucks less to be you!  PriorMarcus posted:I actually believe that Timophy is making a choice to act stoic as well rather than whatever Jim thinks he's doing. Even though PoI basically went in one ear and out the other for me - I enjoyed it while watching but can barely dredge up any details if I try to talk about it - I like Caviezel's performance once the show got going. He's stoic but there's quite a bit of humor to it and he sells the deadpan. However, Olyphant definitely gives a much more nuanced performance in Justified.

precision posted:If you want to pretend it's the story of Rust Chole's "missing years", check out McConaughey in Mud on Netflix. Surprisingly good flick. Why is it surprisingly good? It's from the writer/director of Take Shelter, which owns bones, and stars Matthew McConaughey, who owns bones. (Sorry, I just really like the phrase "owns bones.")

Speaking of McConaughey owning bones, TV chat: finally getting around to True Detective. Two episodes in so far and it's great poo poo. I like how the case is sort of a backdrop and reflection of Rust and Marty's character development.

VDay posted:Exactly how much of my life I've wasted just watching TV is up there with 'total amount of money I've spent on booze' for things I never actually want to know about myself. ~*~Blissful ignorance~*~ Same. I went to that site and put like four shows in and then decided gently caress that. Irish Joe posted:I don't know why any of this is shocking to people. Studies suggest that Americans spend anywhere between two to four hours a day watching television. Even if you're on the low end and only watch two hours a day, by age 25 you would have spent two full years of your life in front of the television. And with tablets, cell phones and all that poo poo increasing our screen time exponentially, its likely that many of us will spend more than half our lives staring at a screen. Sure. My question is: do ereaders count? Because I read a shitload and just got a kindle.
