Ehhhh your probably not going to do a better job than that guy who was doing the imgur recaps and even that guy petered out after a season. it's hard to critique because there is SO MUCH wrong

all-Rush mixtape posted:I'm thinking of making a thread about my attempt to watch the entire Arrowverse based on the Toxxupation Doctor Who thread. I'm not interested in writing essays, though. Is there a gimmick I should go for? I wouldn't do this, but if you're gonna do this don't half-rear end it. Do timely recaps, update regularly (and frequently), and put effort into it. Especially since it's always a hint of a vanity project if you're gonna try you need to whole-hog it or don't bother.

Like, i like the Arrowverse but its dumbass comic book stuff so if you go into it specifically looking to be hyper critical I can't imagine it ending in any way besides you giving up in frustration before you lose your mind. But I mean, I've never understood "hate watching" so if its what drives you go for it, bud. But navigating the web of Arrow/Flash/Legends/Supergirl is going to be a chore. And don't forget Constantine and the web cartoons.

Yeah the main thing is this is four/five shows. Constantine I think was one season but the rest have more than that under their belt.

Results are in; 96.3 percent of the WGA's membership voted to authorize a strike, which would most likely begin at 12:01 a.m. next Monday.

Yeah and they intersect at weird times and places so like you not only have to deal with the real crossovers (which there's been 4, I think) but also the littler cameo crossovers they've done a bunch of times. So you basically just have to watch the four shows at nearly a chronological air date pace, or at least jumping back and forth mid seasons. Constantine is kind of tertiary but he is a character who shows up, as is Vixen and her cartoons and the show makes some reference to them. So if you're trying to do it right as some kind of project you should probably include them.

Mu Zeta posted:So SNL and most of the late night shows are probably screwed for a while SNL only has two more episodes this season and they aren't for several more weeks, so I imagine Lorne and his team are rushing to get stuff done. The late night shows are definitely in trouble, especially since Conan, Colbert, Kimmel, Fallon and Meyers are WGA members. If this turns out anything like 2007 - 08, the big losers are going to be the shows that would normally start filming their new seasons in June or July, so it's entirely possible we'll get another run of strike-shortened seasons (depending on whether or not the AMPTP has been stockpiling scripts during the buildup, which is entirely possible).

Timby posted:(depending on whether or not the AMPTP has been stockpiling scripts during the buildup, which is entirely possible). This is not really feasible with serialized TV because inevitably what gets shot isn't exactly as scripted (production error, actors changing their lines, locations not physically matching what's written, etc.). Over the course of a season, these mistakes and/or happy accidents would snowball and the resulting product would be nonsensical without rewrites.

It is getting another season based on Charles and Diana though. It was great and Sarandon and Lange really pulled their weight becoming these doyennes of cinema. The video I posted below really encapsulates how good the actresses did playing their parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxiX6NGf0ig

Midway through "13 Reasons Why" and when I was mentioning it to someone else, some friends I know chimed in saying that they didn't like the show because of it's depiction of suicide and then there was a brief discussion about the problematic issues with the show even when between them they only watched one episode because they didn't want to waste time on it. So...have you ever had someone try to enforce their opinion about a show on you, without having given the show a chance?

Timby posted:Counterpoint: He wrote and directed Blade Trinity. Blade Trinity was not good primarily because Wesley Snipes had gone off the deep end by that point. They were constantly changing the script and filming with his stand in because he refused to work and would only communicate with the director via post-its written to Blade. Patton Oswalt has a great postmortem on it: quote:Oh, Christ. That was the third Blade movie. And there’s a scene where Blade goes in and confronts this guy for harvesting humans. That scene was supposed to be the whole basis of the film. Blade is fighting for the last shred of humanity. But they thought that it was just so loving grim, so they decided to just have Blade fighting Dracula. It was just one of those; it was a very troubled production. Wesley [Snipes] was just loving crazy in a hilarious way. He wouldn’t come out of his trailer, and he would smoke weed all day. Which is fine with me, because I had all these DVDs that I wanted to catch up on. We were in Vancouver, and it was always raining. I kept the door to my trailer open to smell the evening rain while I was watching a movie. Then I remember one day on the set—they let everyone pick their own clothes—there was one black actor who was also kind of a club kid. And he wore this shirt with the word “Garbage” on it in big stylish letters. It was his shirt. And Wesley came down to the set, which he only did for close-ups. Everything else was done by his stand-in. I only did one scene with him. But he comes on and goes, “There’s only one other black guy in the movie, and you make him wear a shirt that says ‘Garbage?’ You racist motherfucker!”

The first episode is not a good representation, or it's a deliberately well-done fakeout, whichever. So my wife and I ended up liking Preacher so much we stayed up all night and watched the whole drat season. And then I made the mistake of reading the thread for it, which besides all the insanely dumb "but the COMICS" I was gobsmacked by posts about how "nothing is happening" and it's so boring and slow and I'm like... what in the actual gently caress did you people watch??? And then I looked at the ratings it got and I'm like... are we crazy or is the rest of the world, how was this show not a massive hit, or even a moderate hit? I can't think of anyone I know who I wouldn't recommend this show to. It has everything! Well not really, but it's so good. So good!

One episode is probably enough for some people to judge whether a show is for them or not, but it's not really enough to judge the show on. You give people a chance. You give a show as many watches as the show earns by gaining and keeping your interest. If it's so virulently horrible that one episode is all that manages then welp, that was "the chance". For example, Bill Nye's new show was so bad that by the time Zach Braff showed up I'd rather have been washing my eyes in Listerine. So, I gave that show a chance, and it turns out the chance was worth less than one episode's runtime.

Hey! The best thing about this Leftovers/Perfect Strangers opening video you posted is that some guy made it and uploaded it on April 14th. He just guessed that they were going to do this based on the episode's title ("Don't Be Ridiculous") and that's why the Written By credit isn't the Wu-Tang names. Now that's pretty loving awesome!Lick! The! Whisk! posted:The Leftovers' Season Three opening credits:

I think part of the Preacher disparity here may be that it works a lot better in a binge (especially a one-nighter like they did) than it did week-to-week. That being said, that Saint Of Killers episode was pretty amazing and worth it.
