That movie tries to sell you on the idea that a rich person could be a normal protagonist and not an unhinged lunatic.

I didn't buy it when I was 12 and I don't buy it now. Rooted for Baldwin the whole way

I just got back from a trip and need to stay on the couch for four days. I was looking forward to John wick, I forgot they were taking them away after 30 days :negative:

What’s good on streaming? Where are the Oscar noms hiding out? Are there any shows or movies actually worth watching on Netflix or Hulu?

Hey, HBO Max has a lot of Akira Kurosawa's/Toshio Mifune's films so it's not all terrible.

it starts to throw in all these weird gross out jokes and incest jokes which in the first 2 seasons were limited to the gm/maeby subplot. like GOB having an erection while hugging michael for some reason, stuff like that. then you've got the rita being MRF thing which is unfortunate. i get that they were going for rita being so hot michael didn't notice she was mentally disabled but it's a rough joke.

it's still got a lot of really funny stuff in it, especially towards the end, but they were starting to lose it even then. s1+2 are hilarious.

The joke wasn't that Rita was so hot that Michael didn't notice, it was that her British accent just sounded so sophisticated to Michael (and to the audience) that he didn't pick up on the signs.

Watched If Beale Street Could Talk. A real bummer, but not as much as I thought it would be.

Finally sat down and spent the 20 minutes or so it takes to make a Plex server, so I'mma pirate everything now, maybe cancel Amazon Prime and Hulu. It's annoying how loving finicky plex is about names and years and folder organization. I think it's just so it can pull the movie poster or DVD cover for the previews, but gently caress that just show me my files.

A bulk rename tool helps make this a lot less annoying, also it seems to pull episode organization from The TV DB so if you have things that aren't being detected properly it's often some weirdness with the broadcast/physical releases being different.

After Life is bad, but it's Shakespeare compared to his earlier series "Derek". Gervais goes.... well I won't say full r-word, but he's definitely going quasi r-word, to play some limey Forrest Gump type who delivers gentle aphorisms to balm the soul.

Only thing funny in the show is David Earl playing his usual gross character.

We were watching the first episode of The Outlaws last year and the opening scene is the main character shoplifting in a mall and running away from security guards. It’s a high-energy escape sequence that involved lots of camera angles and physicality and planning.

And so I just had to pause it and say to my fiancé “There was more effort put into that 45-second sequence than the entirety of After Life’s 3 season runtime”

Steve Merchant quietly carried Ricky Gervais to the top of the 2000s comedy mountain.

I just love Stew's cackle at the end. He talks about the fact that when he came back from a self imposed hiatus, critics were saying that his act was very similar to Gervais', not realising that Ricky had pretty much stolen Stewart Lee's act. It prompted him to pursue the anti-comedy persona to much critical acclaim since.

I saw Steve Merchant live on his live tour many years ago. It was pretty solid, and alot of the humour was self deprecating in complete contrast to Gervais, who is now relying on the edgelordy "oohh they don't allow you to say that" shtick

Another example of Gervais being put in his place is the show he did with Garry Shandling. It's supposed to be framed as Ricky meeting his comedy idols and trading stories (and most likely Gervais seeking approval/praise from them), and Shandling spends the whole time ripping him to shreds. I don't know if he is doing a bit or not, but he torments him constantly.

Plex works fine. You have to go to Reddit to get the right folder structure spelled out, and it's annoying to precisely name everything and put it in the right folder, but the level of tech savvy required is not high.

Yeah today I spend an hour moving the Simpsons folder 3 times to finally force plex download the cover art.

I brought the lifetime account 5 years ago and didn't get it up until this year because I got a new TV that can run plex app. It's worth the hassle because Plex make watching old TV series on shuffle super easy.
