I like it at the moment but the quippier lines they give him clash with the nature of his performance quite badly. Also...

In the gag reel they released for season 2 it's like night and day because when he makes off-the-cuff jokes they're actually funny and he has an actual personality. Like one outtake was a semi truck pulling up and parking in front of the camera and behind the truck Jim yells "I'm doing the best acting of my life right now! You guys have no idea!  "

Keanu rules. If anyone here has an interest in filmmaking and hasn't seen his film 'Side by Side', then you are massively missing out. Such a great documentary.

The only reason I didn't pop into that thread earlier and side with you is because all my Moffat dislike is focused on Doctor Who right now; a show I care a lot more for.

I don't know if y'all have seen American Hustle, but Louis CK is in it and he tells part of an ice fishing story. Here's the end of that story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52JwEQy00sA Also go see American Hustle it's hilarious and rules.

I dunno I laughed a lot. I guess I could call it a, ahem, dramedy but it's largely intended to be comedic I think. Apparently Archer's done being a spy comedy. zoux fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Jan 8, 2014 |

I'm totally fine with Archer going in that direction. I kind of thought the last season was it for me but if it turns out the writer was bored and this is his way of rejuvenating it then bring it on.

There's no thread for Intelligence? Anyway I thought it was an okay start, props on not doing the whole origin story thing and dragging it out and just jumping it when the new girl shows up. Otherwise it was a pilot so who knows what else is supposed to happen and change between shooting that and them getting used to going into full production mode.

Telling somebody about the Next Manhattan Project without her agreeing and then discussing it an echoey hallway out in the rest of the building while having the project name on the door is just absurd.

I could've spoiled myself on this a while back, but I figured "eh, I might as well have *some* surprise." I regret this decision. It is becoming so incredibly goddamn hard to not click on any number of links to what's going to happen on Archer.

I believe there are two new episodes tonight! Neither will be good I'm sure. Both should drop the webcam intro because it's painful. Good people involved with the show so far: Paul Rust John Gemberling Jenny Slate Rob Heubel Matt Lucas Adam DeVine Keegan-Michael Key Riki Lindhome Alan Ruck etc It should be decent, but it's such a frustrating show. Could get a rework for s2 if it survives (I don't think it's doing that bad ratings wise? Somehow?)

Speaking of John Gemberling, when they first aired the pilot for "Fat Guy Stuck in Internet" I thought it was super stupid but for some reason between the original airdate and when it actually was brought to series I really warmed up to it.

At Comic-Con I remember the creator saying that he did not reveal any new footage for the new season because it's going "in a new direction." This must be what he meant. Personally I thought the show was getting a tad stale (but still good), but if this is what's happening, I'm all for it.

It'll work because Archer isn't a good show just because its about spies. Its a good show because of the characters and the writing, neither of which are about to change.

muscles like this? posted:It'll work because Archer isn't a good show just because its about spies. Its a good show because of the characters and the writing, neither of which are about to change. This is very true. The banter between characters is what makes it so great. Watching Archer because of the spy aspect is like watching Breaking Bad for it's meth/drug dealing. Yeah, that's what the show is about, but you're watching it for the wrong reason.
