Ready Player One's fetishized lists of brand names reminds me of another book. What could it be... hmmm.... oh yeah! American Psycho

There are a billion other threads to talk about RPO, move discussion over to any of those.lelandjs posted:Yeah, I don't really believe the 4Chan allegations that he molested/raped a bunch of the female stars of his shows but fetishizing the feet of your underage stars is still creepy as fuuuuuuuck and also maybe illegal? Apparently the real problem they have with working with him is that he has an awful temper and blew up at a recent meeting when they told him they were canceling a show and that he was going to have to share some production space.

muscles like this! posted:There are a billion other threads to talk about RPO, move discussion over to any of those. Well if he's got a real bad temper AND there's rumors that he's a creepoid AND he's got a pretty hard to argue tendency to sexualize teenagers on camera that's probably just a bad recipe you'd want to cut bait with. Like, even if he's never done anything I'd be scared of him getting mad at the rumors and saying something real bad.

I haven't seen mention anywhere of HBO's Barry starring Bill Hader, Stephen Root and Henry Winkler. Loved the pilot which aired a couple of days ago, before Silicon Valley I think. Anyone catch it?

Anyone catch it? I don't follow shows week to week, but I'm very excited to dig into this once some more is out. Love Hader. I hope Documentary Now doesn't get sidelined if this blows up, though, because that show is amazing.

Have they said if they're doing more? They didn't do a season last year. I assume the big thing about Documentary Now is that it isn't exactly a show they can just crank out and they have to have specific ideas on what they're going to parody.

From the trailers it's clear they updated a lot of the references, I'm curious how much of it will actually hit on 80s and earlier nostalgia, rather than cash in on brand awareness of things popular right now.

But that sounds like a pretty big waste of my time. e: literally Latino Review's grade I read this morning was "Grade: B (B+ if you’re willing to just go with things and not overthink it)".

Before 9/11 turned him into an islamophobic bigot, one of my favorite things about Simmons' writing was how he would weave fantastical elements into strong historical fiction, and the Terror is probably the apotheosis of that. zoux fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Mar 28, 2018 |

I didn't hate it, but the jokes about Darlene's boy wearing girls' clothes were cringey and just sad. I also really could have done without the political poo poo. I don't remember the old show being so explicit about it and it was walking a very thin line to just being too awful to watch. Then the show is very very deliberate about trying to redeem them somewhat on both of these things though.

IRQ posted:I didn't hate it, but the jokes about Darlene's boy wearing girls' clothes were cringey and just sad. It was extremely weird to me to see Roseanne handle the girl clothes thing extremely well all things considered and Dan, traditionally the more heartfelt and open minded of the two, really stick to his guns on Boys Should Be Boys. Even after he was shown the error of his ways I didn't feel like he learned a lesson. Also they had to crank Jackie up to 11 to counteract Roseanne's irl Trumpyness which was unpleasant. I hated when Will & Grace did it too. I hope that's out of their system now. That said I laughed a lot and I'll probably keep watching, especially since it's only 8 episodes apparently and they already aired two in a row.
