I've never understood why anyone does that. What if you have to pee? Aren't you getting drunk? If not why are you just standing around a huge group of strangers, enjoying literally nothing

I think it would be fascinating if one were on LSD though. I think that would be fascinating. But not sober or drunk or stoned

I liked it for the most part ngl. But I also binged the show after it finished airing, and didn't watch it week to week assuming the showrunners actually had a plan lmao. Pretty sure the only thing they actually planned from day one and executed on were the religious themes. Everything else was just thrown at a wall.

I think there was some interview where RDM mentioned the religious themes were all pushed by David Eick, and even in the miniseries were a relatively late addition to the show.

Stranger Things PR paied for a spot in the Times Square screens. Looks like folks got animated fireworks from the poster.

Also, goddamn every drat tv station here in L.A. decided to not do the thing where they just run the East Coast feed of the ball falling for the hours between East and West coasts so I had to stay up to watch the drop.

Black Monday, from the creator of Happy Endings and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. That’s the whole first episode—might be censored since it’s on YouTube, but it’s also free on Prime Video—and it’s strong as hell.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:

I’d be interested to know what the pecking order is among YouTube stars.

For instance, which of these channels is :airquote: bigger :airquote:?
Neebs Gaming - >1.7M subs with ~130k-200k views per video with 4-6 videos per week
-OR-
RedLetterMedia - >900k subs with 400-800k views per video with 1-2 videos per week

Looking at just subs, Neebs seems bigger, but looking at videos, RLM seems more popular. In reality, their weekly viewership is probably about the same, but I’m curious about how the actual content-producers see it.

Don't look too much at subs. Youtube today is very algorithm and retention driven. For example, it doesn't matter how many people are subscribed to you if Youtube start filtering your videos out of their subscription feeds (yes this is a real thing) because they aren't clicking on your vids enough. Same with referrals and search results, a bunch of factors such as viewer retention dramatically effect how many get to see your videos.

The second (and let's face it, final) season of The Punisher should be dropping on Netflix in January. And this time, I think the bad guys are alt-right Christian fundamentalist militia types, which is going to be awesome.

It's gonna rule. I can't wait to see them get murdered violently.

...that is, assuming they actually follow through with that premise and don't pussy out like Far Cry 5 did.

Was Casino the one that had Joe Pesci get hit with a shovel during the middle of his narration and subsequently beaten to death because that's the one thing I remember vividly from both of those movies.

Yes. That actually was a really good/clever moment, but holy crap there is no reason for the film to be three hours long.

There's plenty of memorable moments from Goodfellas, though most of them are around Pesci. The clown joke and shooting the waiter in the foot are the first two I thought of. Oh, and the Layla sequence.

The final scene is pretty memorable, too. Probably one of the better "he gets away with it, but not really" scenes in film.

The thing that really stuck out for me, watching Casino, was how much I hated the characters and how stupid they were. There was plenty of stupidity in Goodfellas, too, but at least it wanted to tell a story, and Henry Hill was an involving protagonist who I both wanted to see succeed and also get taken down. With Casino it's three hours of waiting for the assholes to get what's coming to them.

If you had asked me about that movie I'd be able to give you 3-4 examples of De Niro being cool and running the casino and nothing else. I think there was a pretty young blonde he was helping/watching over maybe?

As much as I remember loving the movie it was all flash and no substance. I definitely loved the theme and characters but very little of the movie stuck with me.

I keep seeing ads for that during Catfish, but also I keep seeing ads for Many Sides of Jane during gently caress Scientology, which is this A&E series premiering this month about a woman who has Dissociative Identity Disorder and it follows her different personalities, and I'm much more interested in that than the Lindsay Lohan thing.

It looks like M. Night Shyamalan's Glass except, y'know, actually interesting.
