Apparently this requirement holds for Mac OS as well. That is to say you have to run Windows instead. I’m glad my TV’s native apps aren’t total garbage, just mostly garbage.

Drunken Baker posted:Can someone confirm/deny this thing about Hereditary for me? There definitely was in the one near the end when it shifts from day to night. Some of the other wide shots earlier I thought looked like miniatures rather than real shots, which would make sense given all the miniatures shown in the movie. But that may have just been me seeing things.

I'm genuinely curious on your take on the Speed Racer movie since you didn't see the cartoons before. The cartoons aren't great.

The cartoon is like the Flintstones or Scooby Doo, i.e. if you've seen one episode you've seen them all.

I'd disagree if only because while the majority of them are boring by the book racing adventures, in a small fraction Speed murders an entire group of insane car-stunt worshiping cultists whose field commander he allows to burn alive and then die in a car explosion while screaming his religion will get revenge.

Speed Racer is a weird show, theres a two parter where in the same episode Speed crushes scorpions launched at him from another race car and opines how unlucky it is he may not get a chance to get to compete in the local racing circuit he uses his car to assault a fortified compound and end a coup attempt by murdering its leader.

And there's the Mammoth Car. And the one with the car so fast it drove people insane. They had to go all Clockwork Orange on Speed. But yeah, otherwise it's pretty formulaic and clunky.

I watched a lot of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, which iirc was the one with cameos nearly every episode, and the intro was almost entirely cameos. Was Don Knotts really what people back then found funny?

If it becomes clear later, I'll admit I only made it about twenty seconds into that before I couldn't take any more and had to turn it off.

I can think of a bunch of jokes on tv shows from the 90s and 2000s where the hilarious premise was "wouldn't it be awful if someone thought you were gay" or "hey that man is acting in a traditionally feminine manner" we are not so far away from where we used to be

The Scooby Doo celebrity cameos were great because I have no idea if they even used the actual actors. I'm pretty sure there were multiple occasions where the guest was someone who was long dead, like Laurel & Hardy and the Three Stooges. Then they had noted child favorite Phyllis Diller.

Seeing the episode with Don Adams on some random block of late-80s Saturday-afternoon syndicated programming sent me directly out of my mind as I was a huge fan of both Inspector Gadget and Get Smart. I think I knew, as a kid, that Get Smart was supposed to be a comedy, but I remember also taking it pretty seriously, somehow.

Scooby-Doo never really stopped being kinda hilarious about celebrity cameos, mostly by just committing really hard to the bit. Just a few years ago, they did a movie with KISS, and it's probably even more ridiculous than you're picturing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V25nZdIjUGI There's also the TV series that ended with Harlan Ellison recruiting Mystery Inc.

Kiss dress, kiss facepaint, kiss cake. Neither parent is a fan of the band (both more into 90s rock/indie). Its because the daughter loves (and I mean LOVES) the kiss/scooby doo movie. I dont know how much of their actual music she has listened to, if any, but she has a shitload of KISS themed merchandise all the same.

Because Scooby Doo WrestleMania Mystery is a fantastic thing and I don't follow wrestling or know who anyone other than John Cena and Vince McMahon are. The sequel was supposed to have Hulk Hogan but surprising nobody he was racist and got kicked out of the WWE

New Scooby Doo is absolutely amazing - caught when when off work sick a few years ago - they were investigating a rigged golf tournament featuring a famous golfer, "Cougar Woods" who, when he caught them snooping around asked "hey! are you kids meddling?" Now that's highbrow comedy!

They might have found it funny for the time I guess. But that's just indicative of contemporary comedy, whereas there are some comedy bits that are timeless. Some Like it Hot is from the 50s but it's still as funny now as it was then. Or any of the Mel Brooks / Gene Wilder collaborations. They aren't limited by the decade they released in, like a lot of comedies are. Revenge of the Nerds was an 80s classic that is utterly horrifying today outside of John Goodman's role.
