That latest episode of Better Things slayed me. Cried like a bitch in the lunch room at work.

People in the Seventies too thought single-cam is the future of comedy and multi-cam is some dying leftover from the theatre world. Then the Eighties came with a flood of extremely popular and high quality multi-cam shows.

It's about a dinky window salesman that thinks he's Gordon Gecko.

Getting back on the Riverdale train when I came across this. I guess Perez Hilton is a SJW in addition to being a piece of poo poo? https://twitter.com/ThePerezHilton/status/922156700173344768 Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 07:59 on Oct 25, 2017 |

If you're against someone pointing out that smearing yourself with grease paint is a bad idea for a Halloween costume due to, you know, history then I don't know what the gently caress.

It's like a demon or some spoopy poo poo. I don't think it's racist, I don't think she thinks it's racist, but I can see why other people might and I respect that. She apologized so who cares. Make it an issue in the future if she does something like outwardly racist then imo.

I mean, it’s enough of an edge case that a takedown and apology isn’t unwelcome, but I’ll save my headshakes and outrages for the fuckboys and fuckgirls who are actually participating in “ironic” black/brown/yellowface frat and sorority parties.

I can't imagine anyone in this thread honestly debating that. Blackface for a Halloween costume is disgusting. If anything, the debate is whether it's a blackface costume or a spoopy demon costume.

I mean, it's clearly some sort of villainous woo woo and not a black person, but it's also stupid and would naturally have invited controversy even from non inveterate poo poo stirrers. Dumb, thoughtless choice. Whether a white person painting themselves black to symbolise some sort of totemic evil is ever a good idea is largely irrelevant -- the current political climate just doesn't welcome the idea. Should have picked green.

Well that would be a good place to not hear complaints about blackface. Anyway, I'm finished with the X-files (sort of, season 10 isn't on any service I have), and I watched the 15 minute commercial for an upcoming series that was the Castlevania anime, and now I need something else to watch. Ideally a procedural or detective show, one without Benedict Cumberbatch in it.

Or Life? SouthLAnd's great too. Or The Shield? Homicide: Life On The Street?

Lurdiak posted:Well that would be a good place to not hear complaints about blackface. Fringe, if you can get access to it somehow. To me, it covers similar ground to The X-Files, only with more humor, heart, and character development along the way. If not, Mindhunter on Netflix, an amazing new '70s period piece about the FBI Behavioral Science Unit starting to study, interview, and profile serial killers, produced and partially directed by David Fincher. And both shows star Anna Torv.

And she's dreadful when Fringe starts out. She gets better though, but it can be hard to slog through season 1.

STAC Goat posted:With all due respect how do you know if you miss much by not finishing it if you didn't finish it? I wasn't enjoying it enough to keep watching so I stopped. To my perspective that makes it not worth watching. Of course I can't comment on the content of episodes I haven't seen, that wasn't what I meant to say; my post was mis-worded. But yes, I agree that more people should do this with shows they aren't enjoying, not just for the quality of our threads here but also out of respect for their own time and sanity.

IRQ posted:And she's dreadful when Fringe starts out. She gets better though, but it can be hard to slog through season 1. At least there's a point to why she downplays her character so much, but you'll find out it isn't because she's a bad actress. I was so happy to see her again in Mindhunter after all this time, even though I've read articles on Slate and Vulture in the last few days explaining that she isn't Carrie Coon. I would have loved to see Anna Torv play Captain Marvel, although I get that Brie Larson is a bigger name and an Oscar winner.

Fringe was a great show and I'm glad it got to finish its run, it was one of those "is it gonna get cancelled " shows for its whole run. E: Oh man this looks great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMUiRYoc76A Looks like a really good role for Merritt Weaver as well. It's just a six episode miniseries though
