on one hand I agree his Sapiens and Hurt Locker stuff was dumb as poo poo on the other, Hi-C and turkey is objectively one of the best things SNL ever did, and Vice whips rear end so I'll forgive it.

I thought all the acting in vice was strong and the narrative arc of Cheney and Rumsfeld having this mentor/mentee relationship while believing in nothing was great but literally 100% of the extended joke sequences fell flat for me

It felt like all of their interviews with hollywood left-liberal types. Also The Other Guys is fantastic.

I love the Big Short but I actually hated the celebrity explaining financial concept bits. I skip em on rewatches.Wolfsheim posted:Yeah in McKay movie form I could see it being a lot tighter since the biggest problem with the show (other than how hit-or-miss Ennis' sense of humor always is and how at-odds that feels with the clean, almost-sterile way the show looks) is that it felt like it was just spinning its wheels a lot of the time. I also think he would've stuck with the one interesting bit of the comic which looks like it isn't happening in the show considering how the season ended. terrorist ambulance posted:also other than vice i had no idea what the gently caress they were talking about or referring to for about the whole episode Watch the Other Guys.

 "A famous director whose work you admire has given you exactly one hour to talk with him about his work. During a discussion in which he is giving you insight into his entire worldview he makes a casual reference to enjoying a popular film that is critically acclaimed yet you personally do not enjoy. But rather than stopping the conversation to debate him you allow him to continue talking. Why is that?"

Bust Rodd posted:“CHAPO is always very mean to people they DON’T like, why aren’t they equally mean to people they DO like?” Looks like Matt heard that particular criticism and has addressed it on yesterday's stream. He kind of puts on the same bag as similar concerns on how to talk left politics with parents, on the sense that they feel uncomfortable confronting anyone that could be older and thus, more life experienced which would embarass them and just sour whatever relationship you had previously with them, added with the idea that Chapo is meant to be a vibe rather than a serious forum discussion. The latter does feel somewhat like a cop out. (And given that youtube is gonna remove close captioning on the latter of September, going thru uploads on the transcript and pulling out statements they previously stated is gonna be harder) Kunster fucked around with this message at 13:52 on Aug 1, 2020 |

I dunno, remember the whole debacle when they went to see the Yahoo news guys? Inviting someone to come on your show for “gotcha” interviews so you can hold their feet to the fire is actually tacky as hell Oprah Winfrey bullshit. I think fans of the show may have been swept up into a frenzy by the Bernie stuff and now expect Chapo to be... a “real show”? or something and not just some goofy pundits dunking on conservative grogs and SuccDem liberalism. That’s all it needs to be, for me, at least.

I feel it's kind of a cop out when they both juggle on how it's necessary since it gave a voice to an otherwise unheard and neglected fraction of the population, but also if you say anything about it its just this parasocial malapropism putting too much into the shoulders of just 5 guys and gal.

You can push a little bit in an interview without raking them over the coals or whatever. If they just want to have people they think are cool on to talk about old snl bits or whatever and not worry too much about it that's fine, it's just not real interesting. not mad enough about it to make a blade runner care post

McKay barely even says it’s good, he says it’s a character piece that says nothing about the Iraq war. He probably knows the people that made it and is being polite. What the gently caress are they meant to “push” him on.

terrorist ambulance posted:You can push a little bit in an interview without raking them over the coals or whatever. Yeah, at most if one's worried about destroying one's reputation, you could coach that in a "Well, on our networks\friend circles\ recent interviews it was stated otherwise because of This And That, could you address that." I know I sound like a broken record about this, but Benjamin Fogel's interview vs Glenn's interview regarding brazilian anti-corruption crusades that lead to Dilma and Lula's downfall. Both are considered to be authorities on it, but yet you have the earlier admit at the start they were completely cynical about it, while the latter in a way humanized the concerns, talking on how beloved Moro was and afterwards, Bolso were towards it. I think at least a "Wait, we've talked to other figures from there and they say otherwise." I think if Lula himself can do this: quote:G: In the interview that we did in 2016, you harshly criticized Operation Car Wash, insisting that it was selective and an operation dedicated to destroying PT — as you said just now. But Operation Car Wash went on to imprison Eduardo Cunha, who led the impeachment process against Dilma, and also Michel Temer, who became president after Dilma’s impeachment (though he’s been released, he then went back, was released again, but at least he’s on trial), and also Sérgio Cabral, the governor of the state of Rio de Janeiro. And now they’re aggressively going after Aécio Neves, Dilma’s center-right opponent in 2014. After all this, can you really say that Operation Car Wash was launched to destroy PT? You can read (or listen) that interview, and it was clear neither came from it tending to wounds or whatever, but it was still a sticking point that needed to be addressed.

I had never seen nor heard of the "Orange Julius" sketch before and it's certainly, uh, a lot weirder than I expected. I expected a very different ending but over all I like the more abstract bits so this sketch is fine. CW homophobia, which is why i assume SNL has scrubbed this from YouTube https://www.metacafe.com/watch/5148521/stallone_on_snl_1997_orange_julius_skit/

Uncle Boogeyman posted:also going by letterboxd, Cushman also liked The Hurt Locker Following Matt on letterboxd is weird because he clearly just imported a bunch of old IMDb reviews for many movies. Like I stumbled across one for Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz where he mentioned "Judd Apatow's upcoming Knocked Up," which predates the existence of letterboxd by several years. Also I'm pretty sure on Blowback he said Hurt Locker is fine and just didn't really have a lot of depth to it.
