Supposedly someone did once ask him what he was thinking when he made that comic, and he said that it was supposed to be prenatal vitamins for dogs, which he assumed existed because he knew they did for humans and that's sort of the level of effort Jim Davis puts into his work. It's baffling that he didn't consider the other interpretation though.

the prenatal vitamin excuse doesn't work either cause 1) they're pills 2) why are they just out in a mug 3) garfield is a boy it's dog cum

one other thing with those movies that has always bothered me. they're usually high on violence, but it's pretty clear that none (or very few) of the actors know how to fight the way the action shots are cut don't leave me with a sense of impact from hits

i like l&o, or at least used to. idk if it'd still land for me after a trump presidency etc, but unless the thin blue line crap is way over the top id prob be ok with it. then again why revisit it when i could just watch ds9 or frazier or something instead svu has always been too dark for me though. i prefer zero rapes in my entertainment. im weird that way

l&o is great tv. it also pushes a very consistent narrative that cops, while personally flawed, are trying their best to protect decent people against the predations of criminals despite the irrational limits layered on them by feckless prosecutors and the contemptible interference of defense attorneys, and as such it is a pillar of american carceralism and police oppression. but, y’know, if you’re willing to overlook all that, it really is great tv. especially in those seasons with lennie briscoe; none of the other cops are ever quite the same oh and anyone who starts to undermine that narrative gets quickly killed off or otherwise neutered rjmccall fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Nov 28, 2022 |

rotor posted:people have started mistaking worldbuilding for storytelling and I need them to stop to be clear i agree, i just think it's an interesting distinction. from their perspective i suppose worldbuilding could easily be mistaken for storytelling consider the way these movies are being made. disney obviously decreed that all of the properties should overlap, spin into sequels, have a billion things you can turn into toys, theme park rides, couch pillows, cruise ships — whatever, it doesn't matter, just shove some poo poo in there we can sell as a special edition easter egg or we'll find someone else that will the part they're missing imo is that when this was done previously, it wasn't mandatory before the script was written. i'm going to use these two as examples because pretty much everyone knows them (if not one, then the other) and have a well-defined universe: for star wars, lucas came up with a bunch of toys and poo poo after they were released, not contemporaneously, and even then would have had zero impact on the characters or plot if they didn't make them at all. for star trek, gene roddenberry made a bunch of ostensibly tied-in crap and wrote it into a few scripts, but that was basically so he could grift off of it, not because he saw an opportunity for mr. data's cat (socks) cat socks or some poo poo yes i know he was checked out by then. it's a joke, nerd so the setting essentially becomes a character in its own right. how do you spin something off 280 times if the world the characters inhabit is undefined? you don't, you pretty much need to spend some percentage of the story fleshing out its surroundings. the problem is that they focus too heavily on this. the stars war and trek universes are very well defined, but they weren't at first: if you go back and watch a new hope or any early episode of TOS, you're just thrown into that universe without explanation. it naturally fleshes itself out and is built upon incrementally and it works Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Nov 28, 2022 |

nice wide-ranging interview with george takei: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/nov/28/star-trek-george-takei-on-william-shatner-love-and-life-as-an-enemy-alien i liked this story about leonard nimoy who, as always, comes across as an absolute mensch quote:"I didn’t realise what a loyal friend Leonard was till the latter part of our lives.” He cites the 2014 premiere of the documentary To Be Takei as an example. He had invited Nimoy, but assumed he would not make it because he was so ill. “Leonard came in a wheelchair. He was suffering from COPD [chronic obstructive pulmonary disease], and had a tank of oxygen to breathe in, and he parked in the back of the theatre and watched it. I was so touched. I went to thank him, but he was gone by the time I got there. This was just months before he died.”

Cape poo poo I watched BLACK ADAM last night and it was one of the better supe flicks of recent years - not a great movie in itself, but better than stuff I've seen previously. Had that awful brown 'middle-east' filter on nearly the whole thing, and whatever you might say about Dwayne Johnson he has charisma, which was 99% forbidden to shine in this movie. Pluspoints I liked Pierce Brosnan here, I can't think of a single cape film that has had an Old hero in it up until now, and it was a fun change. Also good to see Sarah Shahi again after a long time from Person of Interest, even if her role here wasn't very exciting.

FMguru posted:nice wide-ranging interview with george takei: https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2022/nov/28/star-trek-george-takei-on-william-shatner-love-and-life-as-an-enemy-alien when they were getting ready to do the animated series, the initial plan was to basically just hire Shatner, Nimoy, Kelley, and then Doohan and Barrett as well; and then Doohan and Barrett would impersonate the rest of the cast that hadn't been re-hired. Doohan because he had done a bunch of voice work in the past, and Barrett because... well, because Roddenberry was loving her (and married to her by this point). when Nimoy found out, he flipped out and refused to work if characters weren't played by their original actors. he knew they couldn't do it without Spock and they couldn't get away with recasting him, so Roddenberry conceded and hired most of the cast back. they didn't have enough money to get Walter Koenig back as Chekov (though they did have him write an episode), so in came Lt Arex voiced by Doohan. i think M'Ress was for episodes where Nichols couldn't make it in? or maybe they just didn't have enough money to have Nichols on every episode.
