The production values are through the roof and it is very beautiful in cinematography and set/location filming. The costumes are great and the cast is good. First episode established the characters and set the scene with a nice battle sequence. Really looking forward to the other 5 episodes. I made a thread for it because i saw no discussion of it in tviv, then I remembered to check this thread. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3758871

Maybe the whole thing is a post-ironic deconstruction of the media and they're going to release a secret camera documentary series in a few months time.

I didn't look too much into it, but at the time I assumed it was some Fantasy series called War And Peace. I'm watching the old BBC War And Peace on YouTube and my god is so so terribly dry. Fantastic looking but so very very stilted and dry.

Rondette posted:gently caress OFF See the thing is they could probably have done that even with the three bars motief but the thing is far too uneven with the BBC Text. It ether needs to be bigger than the text (I suggest, then, making it vertical and 86'ing the excalmation point) or matching in size with the BBC Boxes. But at this point I'm convinced that working at BBC Three is akin in finding yourself in a Kafka story so...

One would think that people in the British culture-related thread, at least, would be able to recognize someone being dry. I even asked for no spoilers on a 150 year old book at the end.

Jon Snow seems drat angry talking to some conservative US wingnut about guns. Even used the word "nutters" which confused the chap no end e: drat, Jon Snow updating the gun death statistics in real-time while talking to that guy. Savage.

I'm glad Tattoo Fixers is back. Caught it by accident on holiday last year and it's just great. It amazes me how many people think tattoos of loving stick people are a good idea. Or hashtags. Terrible portraits are the best ones though. And the people who can't resist silly joke tattoos and regret it Fake edit: that's stick people loving I mean there. And pissing, or anything else you can think of. If it's lewd or crude, someone has got a picture of a stick man doing it somewhere on them

So did anyone watch that episode of Come Dine With Me that's gone viral due to the rather ungracious way the last host behaved? I'm gonna go see if Jane really was deserving of that (rather hilarious and extremely cringeworthy) nasty diatribe or not. http://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin...e-a3148671.html quote:There may be a £1000 cash prize at the end of every episode, but generally people go on Come Dine With Me for a bit of fun and healthy competition. edit-it's episode 1, series 37. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/come-dine-with-me/on-demand/61824-002

Not sure who the co-presenter was on that Restaurant's tricks program, but dear lord she's terrible. She takes every opportunity to reiterate every point with "So, you're telling me..." as if she's dealing with some complicated science. The show would be half the length if she wasn't talking. In fact I'm pretty sure I'd seen her before, calling up some poor customer service rep to ask them about some obscure ingredient in one of their foods and then rolling her eyes when they couldn't help her.

I tried watching that. I dunno if it's just because I've worked in restaurant, but it was the most condescending show. DID YOU KNOW: Upselling is a thing?!! Restaurants actually want you to BUY MORE THINGS?! Not as bad as the other C4 thing, Burger Bar to Gourmet Star. Where a gourmet chef took on cooks from cafes/burger vans etc. Might as well have called it "Pricks sneer at proles". Gyro Zeppeli fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Jan 6, 2016 |

I'm all for equal opportunities but I was a bit thrown by the severely disfigured presenter just popping up on my screen. He was better than the other two as well.
