Creepiest creep: Ross Geller or Ted Mosby? At least Ted never lied to a woman about not being married to her just because he didn't want to have another divorce under his belt

try the new taco place posted:I turned Ozark off after two minutes of a really boring Jason Bateman monologue, does he stop that? It's the cinematography I can't stand. Like could they not afford lights? Was their color corrector suite broken and they could only spin the blue dial up? I mean there is composing a shot the way you want it, and thats fine, but Ozark is just flat and dark and not in the thematic way. It was laborious to watch half of the first episode. bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jul 26, 2017 |

Calaveron posted:Been a while since I watched himym but Ted was a less dangerous manipulative, jealous, controlling creep if I recall correctly Haven't watched himym in awhile either but I think Ted's problem was more that he's the type of guy who will make grand sweeping romantic gestures to get a girl's attention and start a relationship, but isn't interested in the day to day emotional labor to make that relationship last. Also the sort who would move mountains to cover up even the slightest perceived flaw or baggage or problem with his own life and expect others' help there, but not offer the same in return. The interactions with Robin are probably the easiest example. Ted hired a band to make a romantic move or would rain dance in hopes of ruining her being alone with someone else, while Barney was the one helping her job hunt and keeping her citizenship. I never watched Friends so I really have no idea what Ross was like.

Also the sort who would move mountains to cover up even the slightest perceived flaw or baggage or problem with his own life and expect others' help there, but not offer the same in return. Whoa, I had never seen it that way but you're absolutely right with how Ted treated Robin vs. Barney. Ted stole a blue horn but Barney helped her make a curriculum. Ted made it rain but Barney helped her out in smaller ways Ross was this dude who constantly mooned over his high school crush Rachel but never pursued her and would try to scare away people who were trying to date her and then was all passive about trying to get her, essentially guilting her into falling in love with him and when she did he made a list of pros and cons vis a vis Rachel and the girl he was currently seeing. She found out and got rightfully pissed but forgave him after she saw an old home movie where he as a college student was getting ready to take her a high school senior to her prom but dumped him for her original date who originally wasn't going to show up but did. Then their relationship showed them having actually nothing in common and when she was finally able to escape her dead end waitress job for a pretty good foot-in-the-door opportunity at fashion he figuratively smothered her being an insecure little weiner since it was some dude who helped her get the job and when she eventually said hey let's take a second to reevaluate where we're at he immediately went off to sleep with another girl

Best Friends line is where Ross says he deserves a medal for turning down sex after not getting any for 4 months

Also years later Rachel and Ross got incredibly drunk in Vegas and got married which is 100% on both of them but then Ross lied about having gotten an annulment and remained unknowingly married for a couple more episodes

Cons: She's not Rachem e: fwiw him refusing to annul the marriage/divorce right away was also because he was sick of his 'thing' being the guy who gets divorced all the time.

He did wait out his wife dying so he could go after the girl he really wanted all along, which I'm not sure whether is worse I feel like the only thing keeping him from literally being Ross is that he's too pathetic to achieve even that level

Best way I can describe Ozark is "Saul Goodman stars in Justified"

Yeah I was wrong about Ozarks, it's great. I just started episode 5, really enjoying the lack of fake drama created by people failing to JUST. TALK. TO. EACHOTHER.

Just finished episode 5 as well and struggling to comprehend how anyone could call it "slow". "Deliberate" maybe but a ton of plot motion is going on and as you say there's no dumb "let's not talk about this thing right now".

My only problem with Ozark is that 58 minute episodes are too long. I'm enjoying it though, but I'm just ending up splitting episodes between two sittings. Which is dumb, but whatever.

Looks like the rumors were true with HBO getting ready for True Detective season 3 starring Mahershala Ali. David Milch is working with Nic Pizzolatto on the scripts and it sounds like they're going for more of a season 1 feel by getting a single director for the season. But haven't actually chosen a director yet.

bring back old gbs posted:Yeah I was wrong about Ozarks, it's great. I just started episode 5, really enjoying the lack of fake drama created by people failing to JUST. TALK. TO. EACHOTHER. A few eps in and really like it but kind of agree with your earlier complaint on it visually feeling a bit flat and dark. That might just because the last two things I've watched though were s1 of Better Call Saul and Riverdale.

From what I remember of the finale, they got engaged but they kept putting off actually getting married for a long time. So I think its safe to assume that had Ted not knocked the mother up he would have eventually sabotaged that relationship so he could finally get with Robin. Meeting the mother was purely a speedbump for him. Ted is such a scumbag I can imagine it wasnt long after finding out his wife was going to die or after she actually did die that he started to form a plan on how he would get back together with Robin.

Not sure if that means you were still subjected to Barney's creepy rear end proposal plan that way played up as something romantic though.

Lmao Ozark better be setting something up with the kid watching all the cartel murder videos, digging around in animal guts, and now old man taught him how to use a gun? He better have a bodycount by the finale.

Dave being from a small rural town was definitely brought up a lot. The early seasons did tons of "little guy in the big city" jokes

Ted is with the mother for like 15-20 years but the show depicts the entire time from him meeting her to her dying in about 2 episodes.
