One of the reasons Spaced took forever to be released in the west is that the producers wanted to preserve all of the licensed music.

Arivia posted:MTV is actually looking at reviving Daria. Biggest stumbling block is that Daria’s voice actress left the industry entirely. Not getting her back would be trash. She's done a lot of interviews about the show in the last few years. Wouldn't be surprised if she was up for returning.

The Bloop posted:They do a LOT with their budget each season. Time is also a factor when ABC orders 30 episodes per year. It's still "TV level CGI" most of the time, though, yeah. The space ships last season looked drat good, though. I feel like the episode count being much lower next season will actually help them a lot if the budget didn't get cut proportionally.

The thing that sticks out the most about the whole Britney thing to me was that South Park did an episode on it. And everyone expected it to be heartlessly mocking her but the episode was incredibly sympathetic towards Britney and basically painted her as a literal sacrifice for the pop idol music industry.

EvilGenius posted:The Lumberjack sketch came up on my YouTube feed recently, and I'm going to stick my neck out and say it's still hilarious. I know it's playing up cross dressing for laughs, but it's so unexpected the way he accidentally reveals himself through a song about a masculine stereotype. I think it also works because it's just plain silly. It's not insulting anyone except as you mentioned the masculine stereotype.

Ghost Leviathan posted:That's because it literally was a D&D campaign adaptation, iirc. So was The Slayers. The latter novels even basically have a giant meta plot about it: The 4 gods of the setting are literally the GMs in a struggle about what part of the adventures should take precedence with each also having favorite characters they want in the spotlight. In one of the books their bickering actually creates a full Deus ex machina because they decide the current adventure isn't working and they need to start a new one.

Shut up Meg posted:I recall that he had a bit of a reputation immediately post star trek that he hated anyone talking about it, because he was A Serious Actor Who Did Shakespeare and this bit of TV was a trivial bit of work he did to pay the gas bill and beneath him. He lightened up while filming TNG. He outright admits he took the role extremely seriously and was insufferable in the early years because he didn't like his costars making jokes and such on set. It took him a while to learn to relax and have fun with it.

Yeah there's one or two episodes that go into that unfortunately. For what it's worth, Mike and the crew have actually rewritten old episodes of their new project Rifftrax to remove jokes that haven't aged well.

AceOfFlames posted:Didn't they do that again with transgenderism in the sequel? Both instances are from the sequel. And the handling of transgenderism in the game is surprisingly...decent? It's used to justify the fact you can play a girl at all (since the first game only had a boy character and you're the same person) and you get to decide if you character is trans or you're just retconning their stated gender from the first game. And there's a whole selection of genders beyond male and female without any joke ones in there. No matter what you pick there's a scene of rednecks mocking your options right after but they're not portrayed as being right. I did find it cute that if you go with straight white male, they still mock you because they're dicks. Of course there's a lot of humor in the game that is their usual offensiveness later on like Chef's obese stripper girlfriend being an early boss fight.

Angry Salami posted:while the Lion King became a beloved hit for a generation. I'd argue it's the best of the 90s Disney renaissance films, at least for the target market. They had such a solid series of movies but Lion King (and Aladdin) are the two that keep kids entertained from start to finish. Beauty and the Beast is of course great still but it does have a lot that goes over kids heads and bores them in the middle. It just feels a bit more targeted towards young teens and up than the others.

That's probably why I find the more over the top stuff like the Moore films have ironically aged a little better. They are so ridiculous and camp you can't take any of seriously. Unlike say the Connery era where they do mostly really try to be taken as gritty thrillers (for the time.) Dr. No and Thunderball are still decently entertaining despite their problematic parts

The show is one of the best feel good comedies on TV right now.

BioEnchanted posted:It's kind of amusing that Ed becomes one of the most relatable characters as you get older because he's a man who used to enjoy his job but got all the joy crushed out of him by an oppressive corporate atmosphere and is now severely burnt out. As people get older they go from Heffer, to Rocko, to Ed. Same with the good seasons of the Simpsons really. You start sympathizing with Marge and Homer (despite his antics) when you rewatch the old episodes.

Ellison obviously had some pretty big personal demons, but, at least according to the producer of the game adaptation of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, was a decent guy if you got to know him. I get the impression Ellison's biggest thing was severe social anxiety given he was such a recluse.

Shogun does have those embarrassing scenes revolving around Japanese women being impressed by the white lead's enormous dick. But it does feel like Clavell at least attempted to get the cultures right and does try to treat them with some respect. With mixed results but there was an attempt to avoid caricatures. It's romanticized but that's often a staple of historical fiction. Mokinokaro has a new favorite as of 20:19 on Jun 11, 2020 |

Scaramouche posted:You night want to watch a movie called Fury Road... The amazing thing about that movie for me is that it is NEVER a bad choice to watch no matter the mood. It doesn't drag ever. It tells its story in a really digestible manner though with lots of small details should you pay attention and it sets a mood that you just can't help but get swept up in. I honestly can't think of a single fault with Fury Road or a way it can age badly save the actual apocalypse happening.
