xtal posted:No one cares about movies anymore. No one goes to cinema, no one really watches network TV. Everyone is watching Netflix. This show should just be me coming out, going, "Well done Netflix. You win everything. Good night." But no, we got to drag it out for three hours. You could binge-watch the entire first season of Afterlife instead of watching this show. That's a show about a man who wants to kill himself cause his wife dies of cancer and it's still more fun than this. Spoiler alert, season two is on the way so in the end he obviously didn't kill himself. Just like Jeffrey Epstein. Shut up. I know he's your friend but I don't care. That...just sounds like an old man rambling. I mean yeah sure delivery or whatever but he just sounds like a bitter old rear end in a top hat. Which is of course what he is.

Shut up Meg posted:It's a lot of effort for a small gag: 'Swedish sounds a bit like English backwards' They could have done the same joke by just reversing the dialogue, but instead they did this whole ballet and by the time you realise it, it's over and never mentioned again. As you say, would they bother these days? Not Top Secret, but in the spirit; this may be my favorite bit of comedy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFhpctuUwb4 Police Squad was killed far far too quickly and was too good for this world. So was Leslie Nielsen.

Why is TERFism so big in the UK anyway? Is it just that the vague religious/moral/"it ain't right" objections you see in the US don't fly there so they needed to innovate some other line of attack?

Gone Too Soon (although honestly, six great episodes might be better than a longer decent into mediocrity trying to pad out that premise)

The two explanations I've heard are "intersectional feminism wasn't as popular in the UK" and "having a female prime minister who was a huge reactionary broke a bunch of second-wavers brains", aka "Thatcher Derangement Syndrome".

Captain Hygiene posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_3rJqHWYjs Very tangential to this — I just watched the 1980 Popeye movie with Robin Williams, and I think the funniest thing about it was that for the credits sequence they have the credits roll while the background is of Bluto swimming away from the camera into the distance for like 10 minutes of text crawl. they apparently told the guy "Ok just swim out to sea, and keep going. No, keep on going. We'll come get you eventually" Guy must have been fuckin wrecked after that take

It is definitely underrated. Robin Williams and Ray Walston were spectacular and I cannot imagine any one other than Shelley Duvall every playing Olive Oyl. She was born to play that role.

Williams got the mannerisms and delivery and weird little ad-libs down absolutely pat, there's no way anyone else could have pulled it off anywhere near as well. Duvall was pretty amazing too. The songs were so incredibly terrible I was sure I was missing a huge joke

InsertPotPun posted:"Angie Tribeca" is a great (and only) Police Squad clone It took me forever to even know that existed but first season is absolutely on fire as a Police Squad style gag show. IIRC it becomes more of a standard sitcom after that, but one unexpectedly great season in that vein is nothing to sneeze at.
