Koalas Massacre posted:Niles would literally get nosebleeds if he so much as told a white lie because he hated to betray his ethics. They had a lot of discussion of ethics and philosophy but I think it got lost because the dialogue was so snappy and it was still rooted in sitcom hijinks. Didn't Martin decide it was in fact the right thing? Also, fun fact: OG Law and Order did the same plotline, but with Lenny Briscoe (AKA the Avenging Angel of the Five Burrroughs, AKA The Man who Would Put Baby In The Corner). It's funny having this conversation when I'm currently listening to Last Podcast on the Left's mini-series about how hard the West Memphis 3 got railroaded. The cops lied so much (especially with Jesse Misskelly) people thought they were part rug. El Gallinero Gros has a new favorite as of 18:34 on Oct 18, 2018 |

M_Sinistrari posted:My understanding when the show was happening was Sam was never really looked up to for anything past his baseball stories. Everyone knew he was a sleeze with women so the "Good old Sammy" comments were more 'there he goes again, here's my not surprised face'. There’s an element of wish-fulfillment in there too. Cliff and Norm seem to have a lot of fun living vicariously through Sam’s exploits, but yeah the show really doesn’t try to hide anyone’s flaws, although Coach is a perfect human being.

The thing about Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is that casting clearly seeks out people with musical, even Broadway, experience. So they're able to naturally hit notes and can focus on being directed to be funny. Every other show has comedic actors singing in their musical episodes, so the actors are focused on singing, not on selling the comedy. That's why CEG is so drat good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrytvZc5Tew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gVOeTHoOXY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlrynHRC0pA Drunk Nerds has a new favorite as of 05:44 on Oct 19, 2018 |

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend chat: I'll avoid the links because I've only just finished season 1, but I like that it deconstructs the romcom narrative, like Rebecca's realisation that in her personal narrative she is the bad guy (although she's a bit too hard on herself imo, at that point in the story she's more Anastasia from Cinderella 3, because she realises her mistakes), and Paula's brief stint of power early on foreshadowing how terrifying she becomes by Season 1's end, becoming so obsessed with Rebecca's life that she even weasels herself into controlling things like Valencia's yoga class schedule. Of course, like Rebecca she catches herself, realises how weird things have gotten and is starting to take steps to improve her own life rather than obsessing over her friend's.

Torquemada posted:Joffrey didn’t retire rich from GoT, all you guys who don’t know what tv actors in second tier roles get paid. He could maybe buy a house. A small one, in an ok town. He's allegedly worth US$8m. Depends on how much of that is liquid, though. Interest rates are incredibly low right now so like, £1m liquid would get you £5k a year in a regular bank account. Or you put money into a savings account in which case you could get up to £30k a year after taxes (but not so easy to access it). $8m is about £6m, so in the unlikely event it was all liquid you'd be earning more (after tax) on the interest even in a basic account than the median salary (before tax) in the UK. Realistically though, buying a few houses and hiring an agency to rent them out would be much more profitable and you'd literally never have to do anything again.

Even with no interest you could live very comfortably on that amount of money the rest of your life. Hell you could do pretty well on just one million. It would obviously dwindle as you spend it but really, who cares?

I remember when I worked out how many whores and drugs Daniel Radcliffe could buy with his take from just one Harry Potter movie and how long they could keep him 'occupied' assuming a very modest investment return of 6% per annum.

When I first watched Return of Jafar I was so young that the fact movies could have “quality” wasn’t something that I fully understood (it... came out before I was born) so I watched it a few times anyway because hey, the shapes and colors are moving on screen, that’s good enough for a 3 year old. Anyway my point is I think “2-3 year olds who don’t understand movies can be bad” is the only demographic capable of enjoying a straight to DVD Disney sequel.

It was not until years later that I realised all the songs in Return of Jafar had the same music as the songs in the first movie with the lyrics changed.

I know profit participation is a thing (which is why I think Bruce Willis still has the highest payday for a single movie - he got a cut of the box office take from The Sixth Sense) but surely in that case the cast's salary would've just been part of the budget?

Watching an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and it's with Garry Shandling and it's called 'It's Great that Garry Shandling is Still Alive', so that aged quickly.

Digging around I can't find much about LotR salaries but odds are Elijah Wood and Ian McKellen (maybe Orlando Bloom or Hugo Weaving as well) were the only ones making serious bank before the first film was a success. Once the movies blew up and they became irreplaceable the other actors might have been able to demand more money for reshoots/interviews/DVD extras/etc, though I doubt anyone who wasn't already a huge star made more than a few million.
