The poll is for favorite, not best, inevitable crybabies and the one guy who already did.

Mu Zeta posted:I remember Daredevil having a really strong start with the first half and then blurring into nothing in the last 6 episodes. And the DD suit near the finale looks ridiculous. It basically skips over the climax.

MTV makes dumb teen dramas. Calling an MTV show a "CW teen drama" is like calling left Twix right Twix.

muscles like this? posted:There really wasn't anything substantive with the clips, just some quick action shots and people yelling. Throw in an overdone supporting character and that's an entire episode of Archer lately.

Escobarbarian posted:I agree except I feel it never really became the cop Parks it, in my mind, should have been. I think I've always had a vague disappointment with it for that but it's been a good enough show anyway for me not to care until now. Escobarbarian posted:Two thirds in and the episode got bad again Sounds like it did become cop Parks then.

Oral History of Blossom is my favorite Big Bang Theory episode. Edit: Aww, I mixed up BBT and Community's episode name gimmicks. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Jan 9, 2016 |

DurosKlav posted:What previous year had 7 comic book movies coming out in a single year, plus just as many if not more different tv shows? It will happen its just a matter of when and I have no doubt it will be soon. You're going to have to reach way back for this one, but 2015.

Mu Zeta posted:Ant Man bombed by marvel standards It did, but Ant Man was also a relic of the pre-MCU and the old deal Marvel had before they went at it on their own. Modern Marvel would never tap Ant Man for a movie.

poo poo, I meant to say 2014. Big Hero 6, Cap 2, Guardians, Sin City, Spider-Man 2, TMNT, and X-Men. Hercules and I, Frankenstein were apparently based on comics too so actually 9. Technically 300 even but I think in that case the comic is only happening because of the movie.

While superhero can be a genre, it doesn't have to. You could have done Cap 2 as a spy or military movie starring Matt Damon or something, Days of Future Past is Terminator, Ant Man follows the same structure as most heist movies, etc. As long as the audience doesn't feel like they're seeing the same movie each time, it won't be the number that kills it.

EL BROMANCE posted:ABC actually did the smart thing by airing it out of order, because it paced things a bit better. They tried to get that show an audience at least, I don't know why it didn't gel with a mass audience who wanted a new Friends. I guess it was just a little too snarky, but that's why I liked it. Alex and Dave's friendship jumps a bit because of it but it's not a big deal. And he has the food truck before he buys the food truck but it's a sitcom so it doesn't matter much.

Are the Golden Globes one of the ones where wannabe nominees submit to a specific category?

I don't think the Golden Globes should be honoring British stuff because nobody cares and they don't even talk right.

blue squares posted:Look its a fun show but it's nowhere close to this. There's no social commentary or real statements on life in general. It's good, but its just entertainment. It's the difference between true literature and great genre novels. Genre novels are a blast, and I love them, but they are more concerned with telling a story within their genre than they are at truly examining society, "the human condition" and all that Exactly. That's why it's the best.

hope and vaseline posted:http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/jessica-jones-narcos-master-of-none-narcos-ratings-netflix-1201679334/ Google Now itself actually includes that feature. It listens to what you're watching and figures out your favorite shows and stuff from that.

Sleeveless posted:Netflix still got your subscription money and the content you watched still got the viewership credit, that's like the opposite of piracy. They're mad because if you watch US Netflix from Canada, it's like NBC or CBS got paid for the Big Bang Theory episodes you watched instead of CTV even though it doesn't work that way at all.

Junkenstein posted:Meh, they say things like this a couple of times a year and make some half-hearted change that's circumvented the next day. I suspect it's just to placate the distributors. Netflix knows they'd lose customers if you could only watch shows from your own country. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if announcements like this are stealth advertising the fact that it's possible. That's because all they've been doing until now is blocking known exit points for proxies, VPNs etc. They have always had the option to lock you to content from your billing address, they just haven't. If they go that route that's it, you're done.

Hakkesshu posted:On Amazon/PSN you can circumvent this by using a fake US address, they would have to go after proxies If your credit card security sucks, which luckily for many people it does, that can work. For most you need a valid US payment method.

EL BROMANCE posted:Yeah I have a bunch of things that rely on a US address, where I provide one that I'm allowed to but doesn't have any association to my card. Even Adobe doesn't check this. It's pretty great for getting US pricing on things. Lots of places don't care because they're the vendor in either case. Bestbuy even straight up has a page telling you what fake billing address to use if you want to buy on .com with a card from outside the US. Anything dealing with licensing though usually has to at a bare minimum require you to have a valid payment method for that country. Even if it's just a gift card.

less laughter posted:Yeah, that was Jessica Jones's (the show, not the titular character) only flaw IMO. Too much Jessica investigating (which in this case meant dialogue-free, boring walking-around-scenes that drag on and on) in the early episodes. While in-character, it just felt like unnecessary padding to fill the 13-episode order. With chaff like that cut out the story would have fit in 10 flawless episodes. It's not like the count was sprung on them. It was set even before day one, they just failed to deliver.

HorseRenoir posted:Yeah I'm at episode 9 and I think I'm ready to call it quits with Jessica Jones. Now I'm even more confused at how it made #2 at the end of the TV/IV list. Are you new here? We have like 3 threads where some guy nobody likes with bad opinions reviews TV shows. High class this ain't.

lelandjs posted:No, not tying to start a fight. It's absolutely true that a lot of high-level scientific explanations are really all based on conjecture and theories, and may never actually be provable as true. They're drat good explanations, posited by intelligent people with a foundation in observable and provable science, but still require faith--that what is being extrapolated is correct--in order to believe they happened. Yeah but there's also a whole lot of proven science. Pretty big difference between what you said in the first post and second.

PriorMarcus posted:Well, Netflix has blocked Unblock-US from working for me. Two episodes before I finished The 100. Guess I'll just go back to torrenting and cancel my subscription. Their support is really lovely right now too. The entire Netflix Q&A section is responses of "Hi we've sent you a private email, please reply!" instead of just posting something other people can read.

STAC Goat posted:The morality of Once Upon a Time is so roundly hosed that I can't imagine how anyone could possibly watch that show if they weren't able to turn that part of their brain off. Like... Regina's a loving mass murderer terrorist evil motherfucking psycho and she's nothing compared to Rumple. And they're just like "well, you did something good and you're family and its not like there's any actual authority or government or rule of law in our magical town so whatever the gently caress." Well, they are fairytale characters.
