The shown is fundamentally about politics, but the political and cultural conflict between christians and pagans continues to be a major part of that.

Get ready for some leaks as the HBO hack was apparently a lot worse than originally reported. Including one executive who got their email compromised.

Except GoT, what's in the can and ready to air? I know those OiTNB episodes were already about 6 months old before they leaked and were essentially final beyond some overdubs. Will be interesting to see what rolls out.

I guess it's pretty drat common but it's hardly been overdone on screen. 3 episodes of TV, 2 B-Grade movies and a mokumentary isn't exactly flooding the market.

How does this exist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YguljAFU3Bc When apparantly this is how the show is made? quote:Episodes were generally shot over a three-day period in the Los Angeles-based Soundstage Studio 22[22] and featured upwards of 50 scenes with quick transitions and flashbacks. However, the "Pilot" episode was filmed at CBS Radford.[23] The laugh track was later created by recording an audience being shown the final edited episode. Thomas claimed that shooting before a live audience would have been impossible because of the structure of the show and the numerous flashforwards in each episode and because doing so "would blur the line between 'audience' and 'hostage situation'".[24] Later seasons started filming in front of an audience on occasion when smaller sets were used.

You know the trashy soap show that all the characters watch in Dear White People? There is also a trashy soap show that the characters have been watching in the current season of Insecure. Are these soap operas that are apparently geared entirely towards black people actually a thing? What real world examples are there? Is it kind of like TV equivalent of the black people movies that the likes of Tyler Perry make?

I thought the DWP one was a parody of Scandal? As for GoT ending, I am still holding out hope for Bruce Campbell to show up with his chainsawhand and shotgun for the best x-over ever, Ash vs the Armies of Westeros. "You think you have problems with undead, buddy you aint seen nothing yet!"

I just don't understand why audience noises are a desirable element to any show. They suck even in sketch shows. Going one step further and faking them is especially bad, but even if it's "totally a live audience for real we swear" it's just lovely noise that detracts from the show and forces the actors to constantly pause after a punchline and have lovely timing on everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BFSZ8XzWOM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgKgXehYnnw I mean, gently caress, you don't see dramas or even lovely soap operas have "cry tracks". The idea that shows are filmed for live audiences/tracks is as baffling to me as a band that only releases live albums.

I have not seen DWP or Insecure, but those sound like everything underneath the Shondaland production banner + Empire. Some are more "geared entirely toward" black people and some just happen to have a very large black following.

I watch both shows and the DWP parody is definitely a Shondaland thing but I'm not sure what the Insecure one is parodying, if anything. It's a drama about slaves. "Oh bitch! Let the bitch read!" Insecure is good.

Apparently the first time it happened it was a random audience member and then it became an in joke where NPH would mimic that laugh. The audience and the cast screenings were one and the same so that the audience of fans still got to meet/see the stars.

Those clips flow weird because they're obviously timing around reactions so removing them is not really any different to muting a character. I think the 'see multicam sitcoms as live theatre' adage works quite nicely, and don't hate being put amongst the audience. But - it has to be funny. Seinfeld works perfectly in this setting, but if I go to a play that isn't funny despite tons of roaring laughter, I'm just going to hate it even more because of everyone's reaction.

I watched about five minutes of that Turkish show and the translation is garbage so don't bother folks. e: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ory6b2EJ3Bk Season 3 of Narcos comes out on September 1. Looks like they're going all in on Pedro Pascal, which is wise imo. How long has ABC/Disney been plugging Inhumans? And Netflix just casually mentions one of their top series is coming back in a few weeks. zoux fucked around with this message at 15:07 on Aug 3, 2017 |

I actually don't mind laugh tracks when they're responses to jokes that are actually, y'know, funny, and don't put the show on hold unnaturally. The laugh tracks don't bother me on Seinfeld, IT Crowd, or How I Met Your Mother because, well, I'm probably already chuckling myself by the time the studio laughter starts. And in the former two, the laughter is authentic... that video from HIMYM is pretty damning, though at the very least in HIMYM they made sure to edit the laughter or scene so as to not break the flow. But when it's "tell lame joke, pause, wait for laughter, then continue" that the Chuck Lorre shows specialize in, then it bugs the everloving poo poo out of me.

My immediate thought was "Empire," as the most recent network drama with a predominantly black cast. Per this Vulture article, it's equal parts Empire and Underground, but primarily a way to play with the general fervor of today's TV audiences. (And linked in that article is an interview with DWP's Justin Simien, where he says it's explicitly based on Scandal.)

Timby posted:Frank Oz loving hated the movie (he was notably sore that he was never consulted on the script, and he felt the finished product was too sappy -- feeling in particular that Kermit was written horribly, and the concept that the Muppets would ever become irrelevant was disrespectful), Dave Goelz admitted he did it for the paycheck and both Bill Barretta and Matt Vogel said at a few points they weren't particularly happy with it, either. I love the Muppets and always will but let's be real here, most people did not give a poo poo about the Muppets prior to that movie, and if Oz was pissed about that, he should have been furious about the double dumpster fire that was the sequel movie and the TV show.

Snak posted:Boondocks, in general, is edgy that way. It's angry and judgemental. Sometimes that's good for complacent or disillusioned people to hear, but of course it's also just kind of unproductive and uncouth. I think it gets a pass because it's also a comedy. It if was somehow 100% serious all the time, it would be bad. McGruder seems in general to have a weird view of what black people that are not him are like. That said, I didn't care much for him using MLK as his personal mouthpiece at the end, but I like the episode, if for nothing else, for the line "Dr. King, why are they giving away tickets to our emergency planning meeting on 95.5 WFRK, 'The Freak'?"

Older sitcoms like Taxi were blocked and acted out just like stage plays and you can really tell, and imo it enhances the experience to see them react to the audience reacting to them. Same with Seinfeld or Cheers. It's hard to do well and most shows probably shouldn't bother trying, plus it's a holdover from when most actors had theater/improv/stand-up experience instead of YouTube experience or whatever.
