Also the difference between sony and Microsoft is sony has a massive television production system that is able to crank out material of a quality so them getting into the original content game is exciting

Yo I have to post about this because if I don't make a record of this, somewhere, I won't believe it actually happened

So I was in the gym shower after working out and a dude walked in with his loving chest hair shaved into the shape of a loving cross

Already a great story but not the best part

The best part was this dude connected his chest-cross to his pubic hair (which honestly seems a bit sacrilegious to me but w/e)

His pubic hair was completely unshaved

So essentially this dude made a giant loving arrow pointing straight to his cock and balls, and if there was ever a more succinct metaphor for the role of religion in society I have not seen it

What career field are you all in that leaves you with so little time that you have to min-max your TV watching? It sounds terrible.

It's p easy if you work any full time job to have little/no time for tv watching

Full Time job: 8 hours
Sleeping: 6-8 hours
Exercise:1-2 hours
Various chores: 1-2 hours
That leaves 4-8 hours for "free time" in a day, if you have an SO that time is probably halved, so you're lookin at 2-4 hours to do hobbies

Then if you like play video games or read or other hobbies that's cut even further

The movie is a stone-cold classic but I can see how somebody who never saw it until after the show aired would be put off by the difference in tone and content if they were expecting it be exactly like the show.

I can envision a world where someone likes the Fargo tv series more despite the Fargo movie being one of the greatest movies ever made, but I cannot envision a world where someone likes/loves the tv series and hates the movie, which is what I was talking about

It literally makes no sense to me

It's alright so far but nothing amazing. Seems to have ramped up the grim to compensate for the fact that the writing isn't HBO-level at all.

Actually it's incredible on every level

Also here's the complete Emmy noms list:

here

Some interesting notes:

They spelled it "Louis", which just makes me crack up

Modern Family cast quickly losing ground in the supporting noms in comedy, thank god

The Americans got shut out of any nominations

Best actor-drama looks like the embarrassing category this year, what with jeff Daniels and Kevin spacey both getting in, and true detective getting two noms over just 1

Rick and morty not getting nominated over some teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoon is a goddamn embarrassment

Nah, it's not an accessible show and is IMO not good, but even beyond that there's about a billion shows more deserving that didn't get in to the field

Either way if true detective spoils brba's sweep this year I will punch everything

Also I was slightly incorrect, Margo martingale got nommed for guest actress, which is still goddamn embarrassing

When your showrunner is on record as going "well we just tried to see how far we could push it before the FCC shut us down" it's not artistic intent, it's trying to see what you can get away with

Occ has talked about Hannibal at length before and it basically boils down to him having really really strange problems with televised violence from what I recall and him admitting he just fundamentally couldn't get past this. It's lame he's kinda going back on that right now.

No I'm not, that's my entire argument for why the show is bad, it's just a well-shot criminal minds that uses its conceit as an excuse to ghoulishly focus on extremely lurid acts of violence which are shot-with the slow pans and close ups and all- in a way to force the audience to focus on it to the exclusion of everything else

Dude I saw like the first 3/4 of season one before quitting in disgust, this isn't an uninformed opinion
