Inspector Hound posted:I just watched Little Shop of Horrors for the first time since I was a little kid, and this is a loving awesome movie. My wife told me she had never seen it so I was going to just zoom through to my favorite number, but then I realized they're almost all perfect. Did they...touch up the plant's lip syncing with CGI? Nope, they filmed every scene with the plant at super slow motion (12 to 16 FPS) so that they could sync the lips perfectly. Every scene involving an actor singing with the plant is actually them mouthing in slow motion, sped up to the normal 24FPS. That movie is a God drat masterpiece.

Every scene involving an actor singing with the plant is actually them mouthing in slow motion, sped up to the normal 24FPS. This is seriously the best practical puppet effect I've ever seen, it stands up better than some of the things people wave around as awesome and timeless (The Thing keeps coming to mind, maybe because of all the absolutely ridiculous tentacle work, like Audrey II picking up the phone). The little plants popping up as backup singers in the last number move as fast as cartoons and their timing is spot on. This is also one of the few times my idealized memory of a movie has been completely lived up to upon rewatching as a jaded adult. Every Audrey number is completely heart-wrenching and hilarious and cruel at the same time. I definitely did not understand the last dentist scene when I was a kid, and couldn't stop laughing. Honestly what blew me away first though was the perfect choreography and framing of every second from the first number on, even before the "ok pause it so I can Google this has to have been special editioned" moments I kept having from every Audrey II scene. Also Christopher Guest was the fascinated customer?!? e Its on Hulu, which has a pretty banging movie collection from time to time Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Jun 13, 2017 |

Does Hulu have the special edition with the original ending? Because that has the absolute best puppet work ever put to screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RjFvcw6ToQ

I feel like the puppetry in the original ending feels phoned in. It's just big plant heads pushing through brick facades and laughing. There's none of the amazing lip synching or intricate vine work that's on display through the rest of the film. Also the song in the original ending is pretty bad and occasionally sounds like it's cribbing from "My Sharona." It's still better than the theatrical ending though.

Narcos a beautiful filmed show and created on the tru life and happenings of pablo escobar. I. Know much people in columbia criticize this show because the glorification of an drug baron but I really liked to watched it. Sadly I have to say the make to much progress especially in the first season so that we only have to see 2 seasons which each has 10 episodes. But if you see Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar you will love it. The only critic I have is the too much progress but with a bit luck we get a 3th season without pablo but with all of them that follow the way to become a drug lord. The show is brutal, drugy and you become a close inside view of the private life of ecobar and how he create the first drug empire in the world history. By the way you see a lot of the beauty columbian landscape. Political drug thriller with much violence, don't miss this show. And yes sometimes the real facts of the show let you laughing out loud and rolling on the floor for fun what this guy did in his lifetime and with the poo poo came through. But I don't want spoil watch for your self 😋

I'm not sure when it was added but I just finished Season 1 of Inside No. 9 on Hulu. It's a dark comedy series by Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, who I mostly know from League of Gentlemen. It is unlike LoG in that it isn't stories in a common setting with regular characters, but it has the same super dark comedy. There's apparently 2 more seasons not available in the US yet, but can't wait for them to be available. The first season was fantastic.

Oh, Hello is on Netflix, a taping of a Broadway play. I think it's best that you don't read up on it and just watch it. It's a thing of beauty. Nick Kroll and John Mulaney as two deeply terrible elderly actor/writers putting on a hilarious disaster of a play. It's amazing.

Casting Jonbenet on Netflix is a little too exploitative and cringey for me, but the "private security" guy who also teaches people how to do bondage is incredible. I thought for sure that he was going to reveal that his "security firm" was really a stripper agency and start dancing and tearing off his fake-looking "police" uniform. Instead it bothers me that a guy who's really into breast torture has a day job that involves chasing and imprisoning people.

Is Shimmer Lake on Netflix any good? I'm pretty burnt out on backwards timelines in shows ever since George Costanza's marriage caused it to become a popular trope.

I didn't know the characters from Oh, Hello and the start was pretty slow but when they actually started their play it was pretty good. It had a lot of theatre meta stuff that probably doesn't work if the audience doesn't know much about theatre.

Rewatching The Office and I don't remember hating Jim and Pam this much the first time I saw it. Their relationship is so lazily written, it just feels like the writers are yanking on every cheap string they can to churn out this overly maudlin crap. I've started fast forwarding whenever they have a scene.

Repeat viewings of the Office allow people to realize that Jim is the ultimate "nothing is worthy, everything is beneath me" type of rear end in a top hat, and Jim and Pam were actively trying to become the most boring, milquetoast, 50's throwback nuclear-family possible. Dwight was just a nerd with some weird ideas, Jim was actively a piece of poo poo.

Hint: there are no good people in The Office. I don't know why you ever thought there were? If you want to see a positive work environment with likable people Parks and Rec is that way.

It is to The Office's credit that they never did a whole "Creed episode" or whatever, you know most network comedies would have gone to that well eventually. Plus it ended on such an amazing high note, beaten only by Parks and Rec's finale in the world of notoriously dire modern sitcom endings.

There was nothing interesting about them I actually thought becoming boring was a good and natural character arc. Even replacing Pam with a younger, prettier Pam after she got pregnant. It reminded me of Sam Malone's arc at the end of Cheers, except Sam was more introspective.
