How did I get those two confused?

Does Starfire look as terrible in the finished product as she does in the on-set photos and promo stuff?

Does the R Kelly thing talk about his habit of wearing sweatpants and constantly messing with his dick at all? One of my friends worked with him in a recording studio before the piss tape thing came out and was telling me about how skeeved out he was by him.

EL BROMANCE posted:I'm sure I saw a headline the other day saying Netflix is going to be clamping down on that. I prefer HBOs "lol who cares" attitude. Yeah, I’m sure that HBO has crunched the numbers and found that having people go in on sharing an account has increased their number of subscriptions. I also like how if you add HBO to another service you can use that same login for the HBO Now app and avoid stuff like Hulu’s garbage UI while taking advantage of whatever promotion they’re running on the channel.

He does so much excellent nonverbal acting in this show. I haven’t seen the new season yet but he’s been so good in S1 and Daredevil with showing the constant emotional pain Frank’s in. The monologue he gave in Daredevil about his trip home was crushing.

Mu Zeta posted:When 9/11 happened my school just called our parents to pick us up and closed the school. You guys just sat in class watching the news? I did. I went to school an hour and a half by train from NYC so a lot of kid’s parents worked in The city. So trying to get them in to pick up their kids wasn’t going to happen for a long while. I think some people started making it back at around 6 or 7 at night with a lot of them getting home at 8 or 9. So we were watching the news all day in school. I don’t know why they had everyone change classes every period still that day, not like it mattered.

Like being in the center of the Venn diagram of people who can't tell the main characters in The Departed apart but can tell you the difference between Dexter Jetster and Elan Sleaebaggano seems like a very special kind of hell. Kit Fisto is a funny name which makes it easy to remember, hope that helps.

“Won’t you be my neighbor” is on HBO as of today. Also this is a timeless Mr Rogers moment: https://youtu.be/3jMeby5ZIJs God he’s probably the best human being of the 20th century. People have tried to find scandals on him for decades and nothin”. Just trying to teach kids that they can be good people.

All those pilots summaries made me want to die. Also is there seriously another show based in the south using “Hart” instead of “heart”? loving really? It was bad enough with “Hart of Dixie”. gently caress. Cancel all these preemptively and use the money to bring back Terriers, is what I say.

Yeah, I don’t think she’s getting investors anytime soon. The whole thing seemed insane from the get go. The tests she was talking about need at least 10 cc’s of blood for a reason, those tests were never going to be something like a glucose stick with this century’s technology. Lycus posted:She was 19 when she started that poo poo? Never let it said that this country doesn't have an aristocracy. She had an idea, and investors didn’t do the research. SV startups have a lot of money thrown at them since everyone hopes that for the 100 they fund, 1 will be the new Facebook. There were people who read her docs and were like “nope, that’s loving impossible” but there’s no story in that.

Mu Zeta posted:Really loving Goliath on Amazon streaming. Billy Bob Thornton as a burnt out lawyer that's been done before but he's surrounded by very colorful supporting cast that makes it really fun. The closest thing to this show is probably Terriers. It has a similar lazy/slacker feel, takes place in the same Los Angeles location, and the main characters is known for doggedly pursuing the truth no matter what. Man I miss Terriers. Yeah, it’s definitely the closest thing to Terriers as far as general feeling goes that’s come along since. God I miss that show.
