I've been getting this weird glitch watching Daredevil. Each time I begin an episode, or pause and restart one, the audio switches from English to French. Other shows are fine, but Daredevil est le seul avec le problème. Edit: The show is pretty bon by they way. Three out of cinq etoiles. deoju fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Mar 21, 2016 |

Cool, is this an invite for me to join in and likewise tell you what I won't be watching? Thousands of things. Ah, no, for I can read the thread title. Are you never gonna watch Gotham out of interest?  Was psyched to see the director was John Lee - from Wonder Showzen / Xavier -directed Pee Wee. You can see little PFFR touches here and there.

And such was the severity of his ghastly crime that Paul Reubens was eventually condemned to 75 hours of community service. You could almost get that much for littering in a public park. My advice is not to let anyone's masturbatory predilections prevent you from enjoying something. Especially if that something is the work a man as funny and brilliant as Paul Reubens.

Hating Paul Reubens for rubbing one out in a porn theater 25 years ago is like being terrified of Dungeons and Dragons because it will possess you with suicide demons.

Pee-Wee's big holiday is pretty good. It's kind of amazing that that character can still exist and stay true to form after 40 years, especially after all the trouble Reubens has had. Watching Pee-Wee do his thing will always make me happy.

Just to follow up on a previous post, I went and finished the last two episodes of Cooked (Air and Earth). They were less preachy than the second episode (Water) but couldn't match the first episode (Fire). Unless you want to nod along to the message of "Industrial cooking has robbed us of everything good about our food", I'd say skip it. Or maybe just watch the first episode and be done with it. Daredevil/Jessica Jones chat: I enjoyed season 1 of DD but the only critique I'd give was it felt just a couple of episodes too long. JJ was maybe 4-5 episodes too long but I still enjoyed it. JJ is great when it's more noir-ish and about the main character's relationship with the main villain. It just felt diluted because of other (I'm assuming Defenders) setup that doesn't go anywhere. I wonder if there's a stipulation for length in the Marvel Netflix series (or any Netflix series). You've got complete freedom to tell the story so why does it have to be 13 episodes? Length isn't an issue why should episode count?

They were less preachy than the second episode (Water) but couldn't match the first episode (Fire). JJ really just needed some more secondary objectives or something. Not necessarily case-of-the-week style, but something to shift the focus off of Kilgrave from time to time. For what it's worth, I really liked the fight choreography in JJ, especially in contrast to Daredevil. DD comes across as highly trained combatants due to his past and because finding and beating the poo poo out of dudes (and getting the poo poo beat out of himself) is his daily nightlife and that reflects on how his fights are staged. Jessica and Luke are both really strong, but they really don't go out of their way to train or beat on people on a regular basis, so when they fight it's a lot more grappling, barfight techniques, and simply overwhelming people with brute strength. It's internally consistent with how their characters are portrayed in each of the series. I don't really know poo poo about Iron Fist. I'm guessing it's safe to assume his fight style is going to be more like Daredevil with some kung fu wizard poo poo peppered in?

From Wikipedia: "In March 2004, child pornography charges were dropped in exchange for Reubens' guilty plea to a lesser charge. For the next three years he had to register his address with the sheriff's office and could not be in the company of minors without their parents' permission." He was ratted out by one of the witnesses against Jeffrey Jones, I wouldn't be surprised if the child porn was in the vein of Robert Mapplethorpe but either way he's more than your average jerkoff. He served his time though, so I won't judge anyone who likes his old or new stuff.

I think that was because Pee-Wee is the kind of person who buys a bunch of weird old porn from yard sales and some weird but not actually illegal stuff happened to get in there. That said, man, British people must not have a childhood anymore if a famous person turning out to be a sex offender destroys it.

As a child, seeing those arrest photos and hearing the details, I thought he was an official Bad Man and didn't shift on that position until I got older (now I feel like it shouldn't be a surprise that a guy who hid a picture of "Bob" in every opening of his show has some off kilter proclivities). It also didn't help that a decade later he got busted for collecting vintage erotica which allegedly featured girls of a questionable age. I'm cool with Paul while also understanding how someone could feel a bit cagey about supporting him.

The weed possession charge is, in hindsight, kind of a "no poo poo, Sherlock" thing. Looking back at the Pee Wee stuff, him being high as gently caress for most of it is fairly obvious. Similarly, I was not shocked when Chumlee from Pawn Stars got picked up for the same thing (though hearing meth was also involved did throw me for a loop), because that man is visibly stoned out of his gourd pretty much every time he shows up.

Not sure they're in the same ballpark, Chumler was like 70 felonies of drugs, intent to distribute and illegal firearms. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the idiot just would grab stuff from work to keep around his house and get off feeling like Scarface.

magnificent7 posted:There's a Henry Rollins vampire movie up now that is awesome. Totally gonna watch the gently caress out of this. I saw Henry talking about it somewhere but I don't think he mentioned the vampire aspect, only that his character was somehow immortal. I remember seeing one of Henry's spoken word shows way back in the early-mid 90s and I'm not sure that I've ever laughed as hard at anything ever. It was made even more special because the weather got really bad during the show (snow and ice, in the South, where people can't cope with that poo poo) and he urged everyone to just stay after and hang out instead of driving home. About 30 of us stayed in the small venue with him until sunrise just shooting the poo poo and eating food that he ordered for all of us from a nearby 24 hour diner. Such a friendly, classy, generous, and hilarious guy. Never gonna forget that night.

I mean: Some mook brought the actor's arrest record in the 1990s up in response to me saying the new movie is pretty drat good. I stand by that. If you want to let that affect your viewing of a movie, have at it, but it has nothing to do with this thread's topic. Jeez, you'd think every other actor was squeaky clean

I wonder if Reubens' sexuality caused him to become such an avid collector of erotica, considering it was pretty much impossible for him to live as an openly gay man at the time his show was popular. Of course if he were that worried about people finding out his private sexual proclivities you'd think he would have stayed out of public porn theatres...

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Joe Bob Briggs is an expert on the porno theater where Rubens was busted. He gave a long lecture about its history and ownership and layout when Monstervision did Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He says that the local police sent officers in undercover to bust masturbaters a few times a month to cover a budget deficit. Before the internet, how else was he supposed to jerk off to high-def porn movies. 480p on analog cassette obviously doesn't do it for him.

Yeah the cops would just hang out waiting to bust people and he was unlucky. It sounds weird to watch porn and NOT jerk off. But equally, ew, jerkin it in public. Cops treating it like a honeypot. I'm glad the Internet came along. Oh, I saw that Jimmy Carr special too. He used to be better, if better is the word.

John Early and Dr. Brown were my least favorite; John Early just wasn't very funny and Dr. Brown's whole thing wasn't even remotely interesting to watch, which is a bigger crime. Kate Berlant was... so-so. Her episode was a less funny Zoolander about the art world. I think Natasha Rothwell, Paul W. Downs, Lauren Lapkus and Tim Robinson were the funniest. I actually like Henry Zebrowski a lot- He's my favorite living Chris Farleyesque maniac now that Rob Ford is dead- and I noticed you said his episode wasn't your thing, so our opinions might not line up.

ZoDiAC_ posted:Jeez, you'd think every other actor was squeaky clean As for the actual movie, I thought Pee-wee's Big Holiday was decent enough. It does commit the increasingly common cardinal sin of comedies - lengthy cameos where the celebrity is portraying themselves which pretty much ensures that the movie will not stand the test of time, because you are putting something in that will almost inevitably come off as dated in the near future. It also, unsurprisingly, doesn't come off as a classic like Big Adventure was, with little desire to watch it over and over again. But it also wasn't the pure disaster that movies like this sometimes turn into: referencing the old one but failing to grasp why it was so special. And there were moments (like the balloon bit) that were brilliant. Considering how much I rail against content that focuses on feeding people's brains with nostalgic pablum, I guess you can call me a hypocrite for liking this, but I've been called worse.

I understand the specific issue with his primary work appealing to children, but still, masturbating to porn in a porn theatre of all places decimates a guy's reputation for all time in a world where celebrities like Roman Polanski, Chris Brown, Michael Vick, etc. basically got a couple tough years and then everyone looks the other way. Having a body of work aimed at children is definitely part of it, but the other big piece to the puzzle is that the other guys you mentioned are straight. red19fire posted:Daredevil mid-season status: owns.
