In general I think anybody who worries that a sequel is going to ruin the original is just looking for poo poo to complain about. I don't say that with any sense of superiority, I'm sure I've fallen into that trap myself once or twice. (Hell, if The End of the F**king World got a second season I'm not sure how I'd feel about it.) But honestly, if you like American Vandal well enough and you see that the same team is willing to make more, how about you bite the loving bullet and see what they do before you decide it shouldn't exist?

I didn't say it would ruin the original and I didn't say it shouldn't exist, dude. I'm just wary and I'd prefer that team try their hand at something new.

Mu Zeta posted:Amazon is making the Utopia show written by Gillian Flynn. No David Fincher though. I'm sad that the original show never finished its story because the Fall and Rise of Wilson Wilson was awesome. What got me to watch it personally was some goon posting the opening scene from Ep. 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01VGtX9xfh0

The problem with continuing Other Space is that you don't need to bring back a specific cast for the well-worn "Like Star trek, but a comedy" concept.

Speaking of “Star Trek, but a comedy” I’m really looking forwards to The Orville coming back. I didn’t expect to like that show anywhere near as much as I did.

muscles like this! posted:Jon Hamm's episode of Toast of London was so loving good. I only knew of Hamm from Mad Men for a while, where he was a really good dramatic actor with some dry humor. When I heard him on comedy stuff it blew my goddamn mind, he’s renowned for his Don Draper work but he is a very, very funny guy.

Alec Baldwin went from all drama to really tired comedic impressions. I think it's much better when people start out in comedy.

Agreed, although it blows my mind that only a handful of comedy movies get produced each year and most are average or worse in the grand scheme of things. Given how much good comedy exists in other media forms, it's sad how difficult it seems to getting a 90 minutes thing with a bunch of jokes in it made.

It's weird watching Rowan Atkinson in Maigret playing a completely straight character because I keep expecting him to start doing rubber-faced slapstick routines.

Oh, I have watched every episode of Blackadder more times than I can count over the past 18 years. (And I know it's 18 years, because the first time I saw Blackadder was in 2000 when I saw Blackadder Back and Forth at the Millennium Dome.)

Given how much good comedy exists in other media forms, it's sad how difficult it seems to getting a 90 minutes thing with a bunch of jokes in it made. That's because it's not nearly as easy to use musical cues and editing to make someone laugh as it is to make them feel ~drama~ or ~action~. Sense of humor is way more subjective. That's why all the comedies that make bank are "broad" comedies. Even Ghostbusters is mostly broad humor, eg.

Which must sting when it debuted at number one on both iTunes and Google Play. Well I guess now they know why people get lawyers to hash these kinda things out.

I doubt they didn't have a lawyer, they have their fingers in a lot of pies and also their uncle(?) is a lawyer so i'd be extremely surprised. They probably just didn't get a deal on whatever because the show was like 6 episodes on a streaming service nobody ever heard of.

I don't think they're all smiths, just some dudes that love knives. I'm only a few minutes in and wanted to take the time to inform this thread there is the most weebo dude I've ever seen in a kimono and a katana and fat. Should be good! The best was "You can't get a real katana out of Japan because they're considered historical artifacts, but I found a Japanese smith in China who made one to my exact specifications."
