X-O posted:I lay it squarely on the shoulders of that fucker that blamed the sexual assaults on the women. I can't believe he had the gall to say "Well they shouldn't have taken their shirts off" right to the camera. gently caress that guy. I’m actually watching the doc right now and it just got to this interview. Imagine the loving ego and lack of empathy to say something like that on the loving record and clearly not give a poo poo. On the lighter less-horrifying side, I can’t stop giggling at all the pictures of dumb white guys covered in literal poo poo that they thought was mud. I’ve seen that a couple times at big festivals, but never to that oblivious extent.

muscles like this! posted:gently caress all other TV news because the most important announcement was made today: Heck yes, I genuinely think this show has become one of my all-time favorites. Like top 10 at least. Also, crossing over with house chat, but Joe’s house on the show seems extremely cozy and great. It’s got that wood-paneled bedroom, the old person living room, and a bean arch in the backyard. It’s lovely!

Even if you don’t pick Burton the obvious choice really seemed like Ken Jennings. He’s boring and safe, but he has a following and obviously he’s super familiar with being on the show since he’s a former champion and he’s been guest-hosting for a while now. I watched the show pretty religiously until Trebek died and I don’t know who the hell Whitey McProducer-gently caress is.

bull3964 posted:That Paramount+ deal seems like a reaction to the 77 episode deal Warner (soon to be Discovery) has with Rick and Morty. A streaming service arms race with each side mass-producing South Park or Rick & Morty sounds like a particularly obnoxious realm of hell. I know a guy who’s sense of humor is permanently stuck in 2008 and he is going to be ecstatic at this news.

Ugly In The Morning posted:Compare them to Derrick Comedy, where Don Glover had a great career after and it’s honestly a bit surprising. Don Glover is great but when you look at the sketches a lot of Derrick Comedy was a similar style but relied more on shock (spelling bee comes to mind). WKUK just usually took a premise and just committed to it. It’s why one-joke skits like Gallon of PCP and Business Sniper work. That supreme committal to the dumb premises of the skits is why WKUK always reminded me of Kids in the Hall more than anything.

Even if LeVar was wrong for it, I’d have rather had the loving football player or Ken Jennings take the hosting duties over a bland ringer suit and a dipshit anti-vaxxer.

Every fantasy tv show/movie is just desaturated “people standing on a hill in Scotland/NZ and sometimes a soundstage dressed like a castle” now and it doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Give me the crazy interplanar poo poo my DM uses in our sessions.  ed: I’m stupid and just now realized I mistook this thread for the Streaming thread that’s talking about Wheel of Time right now.

Nitrousoxide posted:Just watched the first episode of Columbo. Was pretty satisfying watching the Dr.'s best laid plans just fall apart over the course of an hour and a half. Not sure how well the show will hold up over 10 seasons though if this is the format. I’m on season 6 now and the formula has started to become a bit stale, but Falk as Columbo is still consistently excellent and makes the show worth watching.

zoux posted:It's also an advantage, not having to cut away to a weird angle for the stunt double really does add something to the scene. Him hanging on the outside of a plane during a long tracking shot was loving badass, and it wouldn't have been nearly as cool if it was greenscreened or if it was closeups of his face in a wind tunnel cut with long shots of a stunt man doing it. So, while I'm sure he's doing it partially out of ego and thrill-seeking, it does benefit the production. It benefits the production... until he injures himself in the process and they have to shut down for a month or so while their lead star recovers and the budget inflates because of delays. Unless you’re peak-90s Jackie Chan or some other legit martial artist and/or stuntman there’s no reason for some a-list celebrity to do this poo poo other than to stroke a massive ego. Stuntmen exist for a reason and they know how to do these things (relatively) safely.

Khanstant posted:On the softer end Office and Superstore both had episodes that were potentially the spark of a spinoff. Office tried a Dwight show and Superstore was trying to do a Cheyenne/Bo, but those still featured more regular characters than new potential ones and if you didn't know would seem like episodes just heavily focused on a side cast member. I never kept up with Superstore, but I can’t imagine a Cheyenne/Bo centric show being remotely watchable. I probably would have watched the Dwight spinoff, though. Rainn Wilson deserves an easy paycheck and that detective show he did post-Office was not a good fit.

bull3964 posted:Really? Casting a star to headline a big budget Hollywood movie seems like a strange choice to you? When the movie is about an extremely fake-Italian plumber, yes. You could plug any of those cast members into any other role in the film and it wouldn’t matter one bit because they’re just there for name recognition. The whole list reads like a loving Robot Chicken or Family Guy bit.

It’s really weird to me that they’re just gonna continue the show without her instead of just ending it. Especially after everyone involved had previously intimated or stated outright that the show was nearing an end now that the coma seasons are done with.

There’s something almost perverse about a show doing a spin-off that’s set in the same decade in which the original show actually aired.

nate fisher posted:It is funny on my Sopranos and Mad Men re-watches I did read the recaps as I watched from the books that were released. I love that companion books for tv shows have kinda made a(n albeit small) comeback. A lot of what they used to cover has been replaced by wikis now, but it’s nice to have a small write-up for each episode that’s half analysis and half behind the scenes info. I’ve been watching Columbo while reading through the Columbophile book and it really takes me back to the days of poring through all the various Star Trek companions.

I haven’t watched the finale yet, but I really don’t think it’s as bad as everyone here and in the streaming thread has made it out to be. The colonist stuff sucks but the Lee Pace & Co. genetic dynasty plots have been legitimately interesting and the show itself is kinda pretty. I don’t know why goons tend to be particularly hyperbolic about mediocre sci-fi, but I’ve watched far worse. I did finish Midnight Mass tonight though, and you should definitely watch that before spending any time with Foundation.

I don’t think I’ll ever anticipate a season of a show more than For All Mankind season 3 because it’ll apparently be set in and around Houston/Seabrook/Clear Lake circa 1995 and that is absolute nostalgia crack for me. My little backyard slice of Houston is gonna be featured in a tv show and set during my childhood.

Why on earth would anyone want less Danny McBride in their Hill/McBride show  RG is good, but it’s a very different beast from Vice Principals or E&D.
