zoux posted:This is going to sound like a bit but I swear it happened. My roommates were watching that new Richard Hammond Tory Bellici shipwrecked show and as I walked past the couch on my way to bed I asked them how it was. They were like, "It's pretty good but the narrator sucks. Her script is overly expository and she sounds robotic." I stopped to watch for a second and sure enough the lady says "Tory runs down the beach" at which point one of them goes, hang on... That's awesome

If you were/are a fan of "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast", comedian Dana Gould has launched a new Youtube series with nearly identical premise (it's live action, not animated). "Hanging with Dr. Z", a talk show hosted by Dr. Zaius. Yes, from the Planet of the Apes series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Su8UP94Qac First week's guest: Steven Weber.

muscles like this! posted:I was thinking today about how I get annoyed when a show I've been liking gets retooled halfway through its first season/between first and second. So I was wondering, has there been a show where being retooled actually made it better? The examples I can think of are all worse. Legends of Tomorrow.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:But to be fair you have a lot more room to finesse the translation with anime lip flaps than you do with real life stuff. There was a documentary about dubbing on the Special Edition of "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly", and the audio engineer talks about how, with good dubs, not only does he have to translate the dialogue in English before recording the dub, he then has to rewrite the dialogue to find words that mean the same, but also have the same amount of syllables so they match the lip movements on camera. (Also Eastwood, in his third go around working with Leone, telling Eli Wallach keeps precise notes on any dialogue changes they made when filming, so they would have notes when it came time to do the English dub, since: a) Their dialogue track taken during filming would be discarded, and b) No one else on the film crew was going to bother to take the notes for them.)

There was a story in '92 how a kid got suspended from school for wearing a Penguin (from Batman Returns) shirt, because the school felt it was "satanic". Danny Devito then sent the kid a bunch of Penguin merchandise though, so it wasn't all bad. Schools were also banning Bart Simpson t-shirts too.

Chairman Capone posted:I remember the back-end of Battlestar Galactica S2 had a ton of episodes in a row that all did the "24 hours/48 hours/1 week earlier" bit to the degree that even the crew started making fun of it, though I think at least after that they steered clear of it going forward. Perhaps not coincidentally those included pretty much the worst episodes of BSG, too. Alias seemed to be the one that did this all the time

Chairman Capone posted:I tried watching the HBO Theranos documentary, and I fell asleep part way through. I thought the podcast The Vow did a better job covering it, especially about how her rise is pretty much entirely because she had an in with the Hoover Institution, and through it was able to entrance a bunch of horny old men who were high up in the Republican Party. I had to laugh at the WeWork doc when they showed a clip from an news interview where Neumann had Ashton Kutcher vouch for him and his company. And his wife being a cousin of Gwenyth Paltrow; that whole Paltrow family's crazy, aren't they?

There was a Russian version of The Nanny that just remade the American eps, and it was so popular over there, that once the ran out of scripts to remake, they brought in the American writers to write new scripts. Also, the IMDB page (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0442726/) has almost a thousand photos from the series.

bull3964 posted:How hosed up is it that Batman is often referenced as having an impeachable moral code simply because he won't kill. That's a core tenant of his character, the bare loving minimum you would hope for when fighting crime, to not execute suspects. I find myself bothered by those who argue that he should be killing people.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:This fall on CBS. Reminds me of when Disney was going to do a Miss Marple movie. Starring Jennifer Gardner as Miss Marple (for those unaware, in Agatha Christie's novels, Miss Marple was an elderly woman). Still not as bad as the story that came out recently, that in the 1990s, some studio wanted to cast Julia Roberts as Harriet Tubman (the reason being since the 1800s were so long ago, no one was familiar with what Harriet Tubman looked like in real life).
