X-O posted:I believe it was a really bad case of acne. Like really bad. That's a bit surprising. I thought it looked sort of like Gary Moore's facial scarring, and I know that resulted from him getting hit in the face with a bottle when he was playing a club in Belfast in the 70s and some of his friends tried to stitch him (possibly while drunk), so I assumed it would've been something more like that. Edit: One of my favourite things in Miami Vice is when Edward James Olmos beats up all the bad guys with karate moves. I like the one where he's sneaking around a mansion like Snake and taking out KGB agents with a samurai sword. Wheat Loaf fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Mar 30, 2018 |

Croatoan posted:You know I can see M*A*S*H being rebooted and being good The setting (both where and when) could be tough. I'm not in the service, but I doubt that modern combat trauma surgery happens with three or four simultaneous teams in the same suite, and the back-and-forth in the operating tent between the surgeons provided some of the most important moments on the show. I could be wrong, though. On top of that, it's just tough to balance lighthearted moments with the sheer bleakness of the situation. It seems harder to justify a medical outpost that's so far removed from the rest of the command that you have two surgeons pranking everyone and building a still in their tent, let alone someone dressed in drag to get kicked out of the service.

There are too many medical dramas already. They need to make a super procedural that is about the lives of firefighters, cops, lawyers, and doctors and how their lives interconnect. Executive produced by Dick Wolf.

Personally I think we just need a show that spends fifty-five minutes detailing a single person's chaotic last hours, and then five minutes of having them show up dead in the ED, me pronouncing them after noting futility, and filling a death certificate that gets it completely wrong while patients with stubbed toes scream that they've been waiting A WHOLE HALF HOUR. Zero medical drama, all about how we marginalize and dehumanize people who have stories to tell.

Cause it's a thing, and it has a killer jumping castle.

I liked how M*A*S*H was able to be lighthearted at times but soul crushing at others. It might have been a "lightning in a bottle" show though that current showrunners wouldn't be able to keep that balance. Besides, America was so sick of war at that time and currently we seem to be just fine with constant war so I don't know if the political environment would be good for it anyway.

The entire Three Body trilogy is one of the best sci-fi works ever, and if they actually spend all that money on a TV series and let competent people work on it, it's gonna be loving awesome. Really cool news.

Oh man, I would LOOOVE to be in a room with those execs if the ratings crater on the 2nd episode. The premier of any revival of a popular show is going to pull in big numbers. Can they sustain it though once curiosity is satisfied?

Yes. Sure, they'll dip a bit as all shows do. But people are watching this show for the same reason they voted for Trump: they feel underreprsented and are afraid their way of life is dying. Seeing right-leaning, lowerclass America on screen is hugely validating and incredibly comforting to them.

Also it's Roseanne. Even if the rest of this season sucks it's going to have people watching it. Season 2 is where things might get shaky if the quality of the show is no good, but even then I can see it doing well for however long they keep it on just by virtue of being familiar to people. I mean look at how well Fuller House has done and that show is terrible. Or any number of lovely sitcoms that don't even have a recognition/nostalgia to coast off of.

The second episode was about Roseanne and Dan coming to terms with their grandson preferring to wear girls' clothes, supporting him and defending him for it to his classmates.

And like I posted above, her character wanted a union job and no neoliberal tax breaks for companies to entice them into the area. None of those things are right leaning. E: they're into guns though!

I think Roseanne Barr (and by extension, Roseanne Connor), broadly speaking, still has a bunch of left-leaning political beliefs (pro-union, pro-taxing rich people, pro-women's rights) but she's also a crazy person who likes Donald Trump and has terrible opinions about political correctness (which stem from being a comedian) and trans people (which stem from being a TERF), and also hates the democratic party. She's not a "typical" Trump fan in terms of how she came to that support (i.e. not a Republican) but the particular morass of political beliefs of Roseanne and her particular personality result in being obnoxious to liberals for obvious reason but also probably obnoxious for a broad swatch of conservatives because she's not really a conservative.

I don't get it. America is at open war with itself. Donald Trump is literally bringing in laws and creating divisions that are killing people and everyone just accepts a right wing supporter of his on TV because it opens a "dialogue." gently caress that. You all should be in open, violent rebellion to take back your country. That said I feel the same way about the UK too and were just collectively sleep walking towards an economic and cultural armageddon.

i can't remember which review of the Roseanne premiere I read that talked about it (i think AV club) but someone pointed out that Jackie having pulled the lever at the last minute for Jill Stein is pretty clearly a Roseanne Barr invention because of her deep, deep dislike of Clinton.

You all should be in open, violent rebellion to take back your country. There's a deeper reason these populist feelings are rising and a lot of them can be traced back to the rise of neoliberalism/austerity under Regan and Thatcher and their dismantling of labor unions in the process. Roseanne is a decent prism into that world for those of us who might not understand it. I've said it over and over, Roseanne Connor is a pretty different person from Roseanne Barr and I commend her and the writers from putting up a decent firewall there. Again, the Trump stuff is overblown as hell in the first episode. It was a thread in the story but there were others like how it's insanely stupid that both sides act like petulant children who won't even sit down and TRY to understand the other side. Not that the answer is there either.
