muscles like this! posted:Lance Reddick has always been really funny. My favorite part is that even though Lance was in on the whole thing (obviously), Eric and Hannibal had no idea he was going to put his fist through the desk. That momentary flash of "OH gently caress" on Eric's face is genuine because I'd be terrified if Lance Reddick's fist was bearing down at me, too.

lelandjs posted:Agreed. When it comes to comedies, a beeped swear can be a joke in and of itself. The Middleman uses bleeped swears (complete with censor bars!) to great effect, and the Good Place has a pretty forking funny variation on bleeped swearing. It’s actually weird hearing South Park characters actually say “gently caress” in the video games and uncensored episodes. Holy moly, someone else who remembers The Middleman! I wish that show had gotten a couple more seasons. It was fun and honestly probably would've been better suited for this decade than the last. I also still hear "Wendy Watson" in Noser's cadence whenever I see Natalie Morales pop up in something.

Mu Zeta posted:I haven't hated a show more than Everything Sucks in years. Most egregious cash grab of all time. gently caress this stupid show up its stupid rear end. Every single second of this show feels designed by committee. Makes sense since it's a Netflix show but still, it feels like a nightmare future where people get exactly what they want and only what they want. Everything Sucks is a harmless show and people who have this weird, virulent reaction to period shows referencing popular things from said period is extremely weird. Outside of music, I can't remember the show doing anything particularly egregious. Rocksicles posted:Jeff Buckley - Halleluja

MiddleOne posted:Boo. The show actually did find its stride past the first couple of episodes. Yeah, I will never get the weird anger this show drew for daring to have 90s references in a show set in 1996. I believe it could've been tightened up to an eight episode season easily but it rapidly improved from episode 3 onward.

Escobarbarian posted:are people still saying it’s close to real life even though it isn’t The reason why people say The Handmaid's Tale (the novel at least) is close to real life is because Atwood based the actions of Gilead off of real life events that were happening around the world when that book was published. A lot of Gilead's hosed up actions come directly from what the Taliban and the Khmer Rouge did to hundreds of thousands, just with a Christian theological bent to it.

precision posted:Pursuant to Colony also, has there ever been a show that added Toby Huss and got worse because of it? That man is a delight in every role I've ever seen him in. Despite my crush for Lee Pace, I was extremely cynical about Halt and Catch Fire Season 1 due to its blatant attempt to be the "new Mad Men" but Toby Huss' performance kept me coming back. It also helps that the show rapidly improved between S1 and S2 and expanded Huss' role, too.

I ignored Succession because I thought it was yet another prestige drama about rich white people having rich white problems but I was surprised to see that it's actually a black comedy about dysfunctional rich white people having dysfunctional rich white problems. It's odd to me that HBO is marketing it as a big-deal drama because it's fairly funny despite (or because of) the melodrama. edit: also that opening song is a banger Vanderdeath fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jun 13, 2018 |

Popelmon posted:Succession owns hard. It's basically a 45 minute Arrested Development / Veep Mashup. Don't expect it to be 10 jokes a minute but the characters work in the same way. I'm not really sure why HBO tries to pass it off as a drama, just looking at the showrunners IMDB page will tell you what kind of show it is. I had the same thoughts as you. The show is way better than advertised and it really should be marketed as a dark comedy because that's pretty much what it is. It also helps if you consider Kendall (the main son) a mixture of Michael Scott and Gob Bluth.

muscles like this! posted:So DBZ Kai finally ended and something I found really weird about it was that they kept the epilogue, even though it doesn't really make sense seeing as Super is a thing. For those who don't know/remember the epilogue was a little extra couple of episodes which skips ahead 10 years and has Goku and co doing another world's martial arts tournament where Goku fights Uub, the reincarnation of Kid Buu. The stuff in the epilogue still happens, iirc. The flash forward at the end of DBZ happens like five or so years after when DB Super takes place since Toriyama said that's still completely in canon.

Tfe, do you know anything about this? Am I being whooshed? I'm fairly certain it's meant to be ironic considering the show's creator and showrunner is Adam McKay who directed and wrote the film version of The Big Short which was specifically about how companies hosed people over hard.

Lurdiak posted:It was so creepy and like 10x more graphic than the love scenes she'd had with any other character before that point. The show got much rapey-er in general after that point, too. I just really don't enjoy later Buffy, there's a gross undercurrent to it. The later seasons of Buffy got mean-spirited towards the characters in a way that felt almost comical at times. The Trio and Caleb spring to mind when I think of antagonists that served no other purpose but to make the Scooby Gang suffer that much more. esperterra posted:I feel the need to shout out The Body, which is one of if not my favourite episode of Buffy. loving heartwrenching and so drat good-- so drat believable. When Anya breaks down I lose it. The Body is easily the best episode of the entire series but for some reason the end of the previous episode that lead into it is what I remember the most. Spoilers just in case: Buffy walking into the living room and going "Mom? Mom? ...Mommy?" in an almost child-like tone when she sees Joyce dead is heartbreaking and such a good moment of acting by SMG in those few seconds. edit: I almost forgot about Punished Xander from the end of the series:
