Neil LaBute is the creator and main creative guy. Kind of funny that he is doing a cheapo Canadian sci-fi show as he is mostly known as a super artsy theater writer.

Seconding this, Wayne's World is the goddamn funniest poo poo and it doesn't get nearly as much love or recognition as it should. It got a shout out in the Deadpool 2 teaser trailer which made me grin like an idiot.

I don't know if this sort of thing is allowed here, but if it is, I'm going to do it. https://www.gofundme.com/help-me-not-die-in-my-sleep-please Money was already poo poo coming up to Christmas and all that, and then I find out that if I don't get this machine my body might just give up or something. I stop breathing an average of almost once a minute, and this can go up to 47 seconds the longest, during a nights sleep. If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it, and then I can go back to watching shows that only feature super heroes or doctor who for your entertainment.

Hakkesshu posted:Also how is the Mike/Gus stuff even remotely incomprehensible? Everything about their actions is explained entirely within the context of the show. You're right about the stylistic stuff, but how is that relevant to what we're discussing? I didn't say they were dissimilar shows in terms of direction. The Mike/Gus stuff is not incomprehensible in terms of the logic of their actions within the story, it's incomprehensible as a story that an audience should care about. The Jimmy part of the story is simple. We are introduced to Jimmy, a new character (whose traits are different than Saul's from Breaking Bad). The story slowly introduces him, establishes his relationships, his character, and the dilemmas that will determine his arc. Almost all of it involves new characters, which are then also introduced, with their own relationships, personalities, and dilemmas. Kim, Howard, Chuck, they're all introduced and we are able to see who they are. It's all there. The Mike part of the story is very different. Mike is never really introduced. He is just there, for the first few episodes. We are told very little about him, and then we have an entire episode devoted to him, that goes through his backstory, which is not very graceful. Then, unfortunately, his plot mostly revolves around characters from Breaking Bad, who are not given the proper opportunities within the story to be defined by their character and relationships. Hector is a perfect example of that. He's basically the antagonist to Mike for 1.5 seasons. Is he a good antagonist? A compelling character, with shades to his personality, with wants and needs that we can sympathize with or understand on some level? Or, at least, a charismatic monster? Not really. He just kinda sucks. There's nothing there, if you don't have knowledge of Breaking Bad, to think 'I wonder what's up with this guy'. The problem with focusing on cartel stuff and bringing back all these old characters is that it's difficult to properly introduce and define everyone in clear, compelling ways that audiences will follow without also repeating a lot of beats from Breaking Bad. They've chosen not to repeat, and they've sacrificed clarity along the way. Pedro De Heredia fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Nov 29, 2017 |

I remember enjoying that MIB cartoon a lot but I can't actually remember a lot about it. I was really obsessed with the movie in the lead up to it coming out, then never actually went to see it in the cinema, but I did see a lot of the cartoon. One of my favourite Disney cartoons from when I was younger was this show called Fillmore! in which every episode was a parody of some 80s cop show or action movie except it's set in a middle school. It's the only Disney cartoon I'm aware of that had episodes that were 100% pastiches of Lethal Weapon 2 and The Silence of the Lambs.

This seems like such old news given how many people have been accused since I heard about this. Not downplaying it, but man I am starting to forget who abused who at this point. I do give Piven credit for taking and passing a liar detector test, that said doesn't mean much, but still it was a risk for him to take it (if he failed it everyone would be like liar detectors are 100%).

Men in Black: The Series was a show I would tune in for every afternoon during its Kids' WB run, just to watch the title sequence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwP4vSfjygY Beyond that, all I really remember was that there was a solid running storyline about a founding member of the MIB who had gone rogue and spent decades augmenting his body with alien organs and technology. Would've been a better plot for the film sequels than the ones they used. Lurdiak posted:I wonder if someone tried to shop around a wayne's world cartoon back in the day. loving Dumb and Dumber got one. Well, if you've already got sub-par The Mask and Ace Ventura cartoons on the air, might as well go for the Carey trifecta. A shame we never got The Cable Guy: The Animated Series, but I guess ABC One Saturday Morning audiences just weren't ready for a darker, meaner animated Jim Carey. CBJSprague24 posted:If you have Jeremy Piven in the "next celeb to fall to abuse allegations" game, congratulations, you're a winner! I mean he already got accusations leveled against him two or three times in the last month, that there are more comes as no shock. I mean, just look at that photo and tell me that guy's not a shithead.

A part of me can't help but wonder if this is at least partially intentional. Like Fox News glossing over Roy Moore being a serial statutory rapist while acting like Al Franken allegedly fake kissing someone too forcefully during a sketch rehearsal once is exactly the same thing as the decades of sexual assault people like Weinstein and Ratner have been outed for.

Yeah that was very dismissive of what Franken actually did, and it makes me worry that we're already getting to the point where men being sex monsters is going to become numb and normalized like mass shootings have been.

Escobarbarian posted:Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is so great man I love it Yeah, this is phenomenal. Palladino's style really shines when she isn't constrained by network tv rules, I should have expected this but it feels like a revelation somehow. Brosnahan is amazing, and I'm glad Borstein is finally a lead on a Palladino show after she had to drop out of being Sookie on GG.

gently caress me Mrs. Maisel is amazing. I already loved the pilot and I was a bit worries that the new episodes wouldn't be as good but that worry was completely unfounded. The dialogue is just perfect, Brosnahan absolutely kills it and all the other actors knock it out of the park too (especially Borstein!). The show looks amazing, the sets are just astounding and the music... Watch it!

Looks like Ghosted is getting a second chance as Fox has ordered six more episodes and changed out the showrunner, bringing in Paul Lieberstein, who was an EP for The Office. Also being reported is the show will be getting slightly retooled to focus more on the office. I'm fine with that as the monster of the week stuff isn't exactly necessary for the comedy.

I really hope this lasts past the second season. Everything Palladino has done since GG has woefully been cut short. So happy Bailey De Young is in this a lot so far, she was such a standout in Bunheads. I hope Julia Goldani Telles appears. e: oops meant to quote someone. re: maisel obvs

FactsAreUseless posted:The third MiB is honestly pretty good. Second one sucks though. For some reason that I can't quite understand or explain the scene where the multidimensional alien explains how perfectly everything had to align for the baseball game to end how it did makes me tear up. It's not a perfect movie but it's way better than it had any right to be. I had to knock a star off for pretending that a Pitbull end credits song was an acceptable substitute for a Will Smith one. Actually, I knock a star off any film that COULD have a Will Smith end credits song but doesn't. Which is how Suicide Squad got -1 stars from me.
