Mu Zeta posted:According to David Milch, Dubya was his fraternity leader at Yale and he was just a fun guy that didn't take himself too seriously. Not malicious or anything. quote:Like, for instance, David Milch was in the same fraternity as George W. Bush, and he recounts a story about during their frat days when a reporter from the Associated Press called George Bush to talk about hazing at the frat. Milch said he answered the phone, pretended to be George Bush, and then said, “Yeah! We beat the pledges, and then we bugger them!” Dinner for Five had some great episodes.

Rhyno posted:You can love pussy and still respect women. Just saying I wouldn't be surprised. precision posted:I really never have understood why people say this, or things like it. When I was 20, I was into indie rock, good books and movies, video games, etc. Guess what? I still am! There are people who, when they hit 30+, stop listening to new bands or stop going to shows or whatever, but I don't understand the mindset that you're "supposed to grow out" of stuff like that. To me, it's hard to imagine age mattering at all in a relationship (as long as both people are 20+ or so and emotionally mature). Eh, there's plenty of evidence that people really don't stop developing mentally until their early twenties. And from the flaming wreckages of relationships I've seen between thirty somethings and early twenty-somethings, its something I tend to see borne out. It's just completely two different stages mentally, emotionally, goal-wise, you name it, for most people.

Like, there's a difference between the old "lmao she fat" and the current "she is white privilege feminism/abused her little sister/kinda seems racist" mindsets. lol this thing from her Rolling Stones article quote:She found herself sympathizing more with the stray dogs she saw than the poverty-stricken people – maybe because the human suffering was too overwhelming. "Sometimes I think that if we were, at any one instant, to truly comprehend the amount of human suffering happening in the world, we would just die," she says, brown eyes bright. She sounds more than ever like a J.D. Salinger character, perhaps a lost Glass sibling. sums it up

lelandjs posted:Man I want to like Runaways but most of the dialog is terrible and I don’t give a poo poo about the parent drama at all. That said, I think most of the changes are good, though I think I like white trash rear end in a top hat Chase from the comics better than milquetoast lacrosse bro Chase. Yeah agreeing with you on the dialogue, I'm trying my best to get through the first episode but its terribleness is making it hard. The cinematography is pretty great tho. e: like I'm no word-smith or anything, but if you can't think up one good line, one good joke, or avoid 10 terrible cliche eye-rolling moments, you're doing a pretty bad job. e2: lol just go to the frat rape attempt scene. Ye gods. e3: is this show for children? The above scene makes me not think so, but I feel way too old to be watching this poo poo.

GreenNight posted:ABC today revealed that the nine-episode Roseanne revival will officially debut Tuesday, March 27 at 8 p.m. ET with an hourlong premiere, per Variety. It’ll keep that 8 p.m. time slot the following week, but return to its normal half-hour episodes Speaking of politics, I wonder how much the show will dip into Roseanne's crazy rear end political world view, where Monsanto and gay people are uniting to steal everyone's mercury.

I'm still surprised by the lack of awareness of Snowfall. It's a little generic since we've seen the drug selling arc before, but I thought it showed some interesting touches and relatively new hooks for people to latch on. Seemed like a lot more fun than Narcs anyway. edit: its also nice to see a mostly minority cast show that doesn't fall into stereotypes. It also seemed pretty smart about explaining how the drug trade worked, and loved the surprise Method Man appearance.

zoux posted:I followed the reviews for Snowfall because it seemed like extremely my poo poo and I think it got hurt because it played a very long game, and the initial episodes were poorly reviewed. After the season ended I saw several critics go, hmm actually, taken as a whole, this was good. Yeah it took its time and avoided some of the more explosive aspects of the genre (no running gun battles and poo poo) but I thought it was a nice character piece, and each episode did a good job of highlighting someone else. It's not the best thing around, but I certainly enjoyed watching it. edit: also it looks really really nice edit 2: and shows how hosed up the CIA was too

nate fisher posted:I’ve been trying to get people to watch Patriot. During one of my conversations pushing the show the question of what is the most criminally under watched and under appreciated show since 2000 came up. My first thought was Halt & Catch Fire, but critics seem to end up giving the show its proper due (it has made several top 10 lists over the years). Now I think it has to be David Simon’s Treme. Great acting, music, and writing, but it has been pretty much forgotten. Any thoughts or other shows you can think of that have been lost in this now platinum age of TV? Better. Off. Ted.

IRQ posted:Everyone watched it back in the day. Same with Seinfeld. Friends has held up way better than Seinfeld though. The wrongest thing ever posted here. Friends was always crap. It was crap when it first aired, its crap now when you like back at its stale and often bizaare takes (like what the gently caress was the show's thing with gay people?) The people behind the show were hacks and horrible people btw, just read about how they treated their women employees. Otoh seinfeld has aged like a fine wine, and doesnt need the cultural claustrophobia of the 90s for its humor. Ive had some success introducing it to my younger relatives and friends and they love it.

Vegetable posted:I know the show was co-created by a woman but Friends comes from an almost purely masculine angle. I’m only on season 2 but the women have been completely inane and one-dimensional. They openly mock feminism. They read like men talking through female characters. They were lovely people OP quote:Lyle's claim of harassment is this: she was subjected to a constant barrage of sexual talk, jokes, drawings, and gestures that demeaned and degraded women by the show's writers during their "creative" meetings. Some of her allegations?even paraphrased, as many of them are here?are quite striking. http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/05/04/grossman.friends/index.html
