Looten Plunder posted:Is anyone watching American Gods? Apparently 8 episodes have aired and I haven't seen one mention of it in the thread I just started watching that show after putting it off until I'd read the book, but that hasn't happened. I really like it; even though I keep hitting up the american gods wiki to find out what the gently caress just happened. I'm into season 2 now but all I wanna do is eat some mushrooms and go to the house on a rock.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:Kitchen Nightmares is a fun little Rorschach test. The British version is lots of "oh Gordon, we have one Michelin star but we want two!" while the US version is mostly "do you donkeys realize the food expires???" I think the Amy's Baking Company kitchen nightmares, one of the few I've seen, is peak trashy tv; and the British version is weirdly wholesome in comparison.

Aardvark! posted:watching Criminal Minds now because I needed some shlocky procedural and I'm a bit burnt out on SVU That show; in my opinion; was the muderporniest of the murderporn shows like csi and ncis etc. It is at its worst when they do their meta-plot arcs because they're very soap opera x tom clancy nonsense. Meta-plot is probably the wrong term for character advancement.

Josh Lyman posted:It took until episode 4 of The White Lotus but it occurred to me that the musical style and cues sounded a lot like the UK Utopia. Turns out they have the same composer. Not sure if I should be ashamed it took me 4 episodes, that I got it at all, or it means the composer has a limited range. Or it means that composer has a signature style and is capable of being both familiar and different at the same time.

Timby posted:The amazing thing about the Enterprise intro song is that they used an even more up-tempo rock version of the song in seasons 3 and 4 and made it even worse. Like, that takes legitimate effort to pull off such a colossal boner. I actually liked the first version of the Enterprise song; then they made a Las Vegas/Tom jones version and it suuucked, as you said.

I love that show but there was always something a little off about it, like they lit the sets weird or they were using new digital tech to film it or something. It did give us the worst celebrity cameo ever though, from Dennis Rodman.

bull3964 posted:That's not just show stuff. That's the very definition of clickbait articles. They need to string you along for paragraphs upon paragraphs to SEO and to make you view as many ads as possible. I use a chrome addon called sponsorblock that uses user provided time marks to skip over paid ad sections in youtube videos. So now when I'm watching Emmymade or Sam the Cooking Guy to see a recipe get made I don't have to guess how long the cringe pivot to commercial copy dialog will last. As far as online recipes that do that 'essay about why this is special to me' or whatever its about, I just try to stick to known sources and repositories. You still have to click on 'show me the rest' buttons when it shows you 1/2 the recipe and nothing else to prevent it from being shown on a search engine result; I dunno what to do about that.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:Uh no you click on the "print this recipe" button and it will print just the recipe but you do you and get heated about a very common household and office electronic. I'll be over here leafing through my binder of printed and laminated recipes with no long rambling stories attached My printer stopped working because the ink cartages became 'out of date'. I probably could have found some kind of flash over-ride for that problem, but honestly, what was I printing? Sheet music? That I can read perfectly well on my monitor? Its a muti though so, in case I ever need to scan or fax something I can probably still do that. Do you need an active phone line for a fax? Probably, so never mind. If you have a non-ripoff printer that you like to use, good for you but like 90% of printers are a waste of time and money. Although, to be fair, you can print to an xps file and use that as a regular document for viewing.

Medullah posted:I print very rarely, and it was infuriating that the one time a year I needed to use it I'd have to buy a new ink cartridge because it had dried out. I saw a Dell laser printer for $80 and decided to give it a try and I can't believe I waited that long. I've had it like 7 years and replaced the toner exactly once I think a LOT of people get their printers because they're like a free or super cheap option on their dell/hp/alienware etc order, not realizing that those super cheap printers are the ink cartage monsters.

XboxPants posted:Amenadiel's reaction to the description of Rory's wings was one of the best parts of the season. D. B. Woodside's acting is one of the things that keeps that show from really flying off the handles. One part audience participation, one part status quo mindset, one part comic relief. And yes, I believe that since Lucifer is actually a big hit for netflix after having picked it up from broadcast cancelation, they gave it some extra budget for the final season. Its a silly concept that might have well have been "God Cop" from 30 rock but they did it their own way; I know its based off a comic book but apparently they diverged so much from that it became it's own thing.

Its too bad that crazy Masterson family infected Prepon with the thetans though. I watched the sort-of-season of Topher Grace's recent NBC sitcom and was surprised it got renewed. It was thoroughly meh. Ashton's been investing all his money in like uber and bitcoin and last I knew Mila was hawking cinnamon doped whiskey and bragging about how she doesn't bath her kids. Wilmer's on NCIS now right?

Open Source Idiom posted:God I wish there was a longer version of the cover Halt and Catch Fire used as their credits music. Classics are classics for a reason. If they didn't click with human nature to begin with, they wouldn't have become popular. I Claudius might be seen as having low production values vs poo poo today, but if you're consuming media made 40-50 years ago expecting modern standards you're setting yourself up for disappointment. There are plenty of tv shows that have outlasted the medium that existed at the time; just look at the crazy commercial tie-ins for the Beverly Hillbillies - cigarettes, those new fangled supermarkets, poo poo like that. That said, I watch plenty of 'tv' and I have zero ideas on what will be considered the GEMS of the 2020's era of television. I'm including streaming video as television since its still the thing you point all your furniture at to be entertained by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEx44ETP8Ac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yi7B-bSwy4

That's the only thing that I can think of, but I'm not even sure that would make sense. Reminds me of how "Taxi Driver" had to de-saturate the color a bit during the final shootout scene so all the blood didn't earn it an X rating.

pentyne posted:People from set are saying the armorer was using the guns for target practice between takes and left actual bullets in them. The only way this could be true, at least in my thinking, is if this new-to-the-industry armorer is one of those gung-ho 2nd amendment at all costs kind of nuts; pretty sure debris in the barrel launched by a blank is how Brandon Lee died, and if so it seems unlikely they would be anywhere close to a movie set. Then again, it seems like the union guys walked off set due to recklessness about this particular gun that 'misfired' multiple times. Some fool using an actual movie property gun at the firing range with actual ammo just seems like the dumbest thing that shouldn't ever happen.

Chairman Capone posted:The IT Crowd is a show I loved back in 2009, but I probably haven't watched it since the fourth season came out and I feel like if I went back and rewatched it now, it would just tarnish my memories. Not to mention, I feel like most of the best people in it went on to do better things anyway. Katherine Parkinson is the only one I can't remember seeing in anything since, outside an episode of Sherlock. She was in that British pirate radio movie, the Boat that Rocked or whatever the American title is(oh man, 2009, how time flies). I think most of IT Crowd holds up, except for that one episode with the trans woman. Graham Lineham is an insane person, but I still love Father Ted, Black Books, IT Crowd. I think its one of those situations where you have to separate the art from the artist.

The sequence where Matt Berry is chill and accepting of his girlfriend is gross, because it expects you to be shocked at how casually he accepts her.That's fundamentally hosed. The uncomfortable part of the work outing one is all the theater staff being over the top protective of Roy. Also the guy who invited them all being portrayed as a closet case, I guess. You're right about the wife episodes though, whenever I re-watch those are insta-skips. I'll never not laugh at the delivery of this line from IT Crowd though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfq3B9JvIcQ

Mu Zeta posted:Psych must have been a blast to make because I can't think of other shows where the cast keeps coming back to make more stuff a decade later. Filming in Vancouver probably bonds the cast and crew for the shows that film there quite a bit, since they're all living out of hotels or short-term rentals and probably have no other friends or family in the area. Not sure how that situation is working in this new covid world though. Psych was absolutely the best of the "Blue Skies" programming from that era of USA; I also enjoyed Royal Pains. I'd put Eureka into that category too but it was on syfy. *edit* crew not screw, but it also applies.

feedmyleg posted:Joey is a bad improviser who calls himself an actor and constantly fails at commercial auditions. Monica would still be a chef, but for sure covered in tats and eventually has a very special episode about coke and/or alcoholism. Phoebe is definitely a crystal astrology girl on Instagram. Monica would be Claire Saffritz, a serious try hard with an inexplicable charm who would get fired from a National Magazine's youtube venture for moral reasons only to become more successful on her own. Ross would be a loving paleontologist and suck it up that nobody cared because yay dinosaurs. Chandler would be mid to upper management in a dying company; like how the libertarian asshat who bought out SEARS made all the management compete against each other to the benefit of himself as the company went down the shitter. Joey would be scrambling to hold onto his soap opera job because his twitter/instagram audience is like 30% anti-vaxxer and he really needs that extra whatever from being an 'influencer' bring to keep up rent in a greenwich village apartment. Rachel would be given the waitress job much longer ala Kaley Cuoco in big bang theory; but once they find something that made sense for her they'd immediately raze the coffee shop set and we'd never see it again. Phoebe would still just be a hippy bouncing around from job to job filling in the lean parts with her massage license; or maybe she'd go full onlyfans but all her onlyfans videos would be of her cooking vegan meals because she doesn't trust youtube.
