Knowing deaths will be undone doesn't have to take away from the emotional impact of the event. Like in IW even though we know Spider-Man's returning Tony doesn't so we can still feel the weight of his loss.

Like, you get how ridiculous it is in the context of LOTR, which were based on, you know, already existing books. Did y'all hate those movies too, knowing who would and wouldn't die before hand

Sirotan posted:If you read through that whole thread, it turns out there's all of 11 pages of appendices that cover 'young Aragorn' in all of Tolkein's published works. Considering the guy is ~150 years old at the events of Lord of the Rings, I really really really really hope they don't go for some YA angle here. I hope they try to show a budding romance between 2700-year-old Liv Tyler Arwen and 20-y-o young Aragorn, particularly the bit about her being his cousin (a few times removed).

My kids (well the youngest is 18) have been watching True Detective season 1. I walked by and episode 4 was on, so I had to watch it with them. The whole biker bar to the stash house last half of it is still amazing.

Saw a piece today where everyone in the Arrested Development cast and crew said uncategorically they support Jeffrey Tambor. Alia Shawkat was the only one who pretty much said it's a complex situation and we shouldn't discount what people have said just because the accused is a friend.

Here's the bit that Engadget had. quote:"We were done shooting — there was no version of cutting him out of the show, or there would be no show," Hurwitz told Entertainment Weekly. "Am I going to cut Jeffrey out of the show, based on allegations that he disputes, that Amazon hasn't shared, and that we have never experienced any complaints about? No, of course I am not going to.... I'm going to support Jeffrey."

It's easier when it's systemic with a long history. I have no doubt Tambor believes what he is saying. I also have no doubt something happened with Transparent beyond what the AD cast has seen Tambor behave. You can't disbelieve victims. I can understand long term friends standing behind someone when they don't have first hand experience of anything close to that behavior though. Doubt the guy is going to get much new work at this point regardless.

Matt Zerella posted:John from Cincinnati Carnivale I think was the first time a cancellation pissed me off. That said I did actually send a physical letter to Chris Albrecht of HBO telling him if The Wire was canceled I would never subscribe (this was after season 3) to HBO again, but if they renewed it I would subscribe for life. So far I’ve kept my promise. Edit: I’m still pissed about Deadwood.

feedmyleg posted:I just watched the Magnum PI trailer and got very cynical. How do you gently caress up an easy concept that bad? I could smell the stink of the H50 reboot all over it from the first couple seconds where all the characters were introduced as marine ranger seal supermen sharing stories about parachuting into North Korea, so it wasn't at all a surprise when later in the trailer they showed a crossover and said it was made by the same people.

Pursuant to Colony also, has there ever been a show that added Toby Huss and got worse because of it? That man is a delight in every role I've ever seen him in.

At this point the Marvel Cinematic Universe is over a decade old and is responsible for some of the highest-grossing films of all time, several of which the internet was convinced were going to finally be the big bomb that killed the comic book movie "fad" which has been running for like two decades at this point. At some point you just have to accept that it's not for you.

Despite my crush for Lee Pace, I was extremely cynical about Halt and Catch Fire Season 1 due to its blatant attempt to be the "new Mad Men" but Toby Huss' performance kept me coming back. It also helps that the show rapidly improved between S1 and S2 and expanded Huss' role, too.

I also have no doubt something happened with Transparent beyond what the AD cast has seen Tambor behave. This is basically similar to what happened with Franco on THE DEUCE. They asked literally everyone involved in the production if he exhibited any of that behaviour and it was a no across the board. I believe they also allowed people to answer anonymously in case they were worried about any blow black from it. It seems like Tambor crossed lines on TRANSPARENT, but hasn't done it elsewhere. As a production, it's easier to justify keeping him on when you can say that.

Wheat Loaf posted:I think for a while the official explanation for how Alfred entered Bruce Wayne's service was that he had been in the army during the war, then he went on to become an acclaimed Shakespearean actor on the West End, until his father summoned him to his deathbed and said, "Alfred, you are the last Pennyworth, and the Pennyworths have always been a proud line of butlers! You must go to America and find someone with a mansion you can dust!" and he did. Yes, I assumed that was still the case? Did they change it? Because if so good, because gently caress that servile bullshit. muscles like this! posted:The Gotham explanation for how it happened was that Thomas Wayne saved Alfred's life after he became a huge fuckup drunk due to PTSD so he feels a debt to the Wayne family that he doesn't think he can repay. That works.
