Holy poo poo, I knew this was in the works but had no idea the pilot was already out. Thanks! :tinfoil: :hf: :tinfoil:

If it's anything like their other pilots, don't expect it to go any further...

I really want this one to go ahead though

It's a post about how much I like Rectify, yeah. That happens about midway through the first season, which I just watched to refresh my memory for the second.

We just marathoned Grace and Frankie with my mom and it's surprisingly sweet. For some reason I expected something a lot more cynical from the premise and the writers but it never mocks its characters. I hope it gets a second season.

Thanks to whoever recommended Bloodline. It's pretty great. For anyone on the fence, I'd describe the tone as something like two parts Rectify, one part True Detective, with pacing closer to the former: very deliberate and unhurried.

Only through episode 6, hope the quality is maintained all the way through.

I posted about it last week because I had trouble with the audio. It turns out everyone was having issues and they (Netflix) must have taken it down. Bummer.

The audio was messed up; there was only sound during the concert parts. The interviews were completely silent.

Probably something to do with messing up the center channel for the 5.1 mix.

I like it as well. I'm about 7 episodes in. Feels like watching a car crash in slow-motion.

I started watching The Good Guys on Saturday and was surprised by it being amusing and pretty good. The premise is like a buddy movie with the usual straight guy with an alcoholic partner he's been assigned to look after but it somehow manages to pull it off. Part comedy part action, so far my only complaint is it's only one season, but I'm only up to episode 3. Also it has Bradley Whitford, the bad guy from Billy Madison, as the alcoholic partner, who is excellent in the role.

I have a feeling Shout! Factory might be sitting on those rights about to do something with the show. They released Mary Hartman on DVD in 2013 and included two discs of Fernwood 2 Night episodes as a bonus. With any luck they'll release it on DVD and/or it could show up on Netflix or their own streaming service.

If they can release 76 goddamn discs of MH, MH or whatever it was, nothing can be cost prohibitive.

I'm pretty sure those guys are making too much money with Rifftrax to care about reviving MST3K.

Joel missed the boat, I guess. It's a shame, he seems like a really humble and likable person.

Is that the one where the Australian guy ends up moving to some lovely eastern european country with a woman who was scamming him?

Also, everyone needs to watch Rocket Men. It's a history of the American space program full of early era footage.

The worst was the fat dork (with the steampunk collection) getting scammed and pulling up another bikini model photo at the end and talking about how he thought it might work out. Wanted to slap him out of his chair.

I really liked how for once the southern Baptist was my favorite character in the whole movie.

I actually have a Ukrainian friend whose mom was a mail order bride. I asked him to watch the documentary, so I'll report back if he ever watches it.

Nah, he was the one who was like, when he arrives at their first, like, ball or whatever is like, "None of these women are in an appropriate age range for me," and then proceeded to call bullshit on the entire thing in refreshing increments throughout the movie.

edit: That one who got engaged in the first night is legit presidential assassin material. I'd keep an eye out for that one.

That's what I mean though. This was his version of Lee Harvey Oswald defecting to the Soviet Union and then very quickly having all his naive conceptions smashed by the iron fist of "Your dream doesn't matter." This guy is already a lit fuse. Now it's just a matter of who's around him when there's no more fuse.
