oh one of my favorite movies that no else can probably see is called a korean in paris its about this guy whose wife disappears on their honeymoon in paris and he slowly turns into a homeless dude trying to find her he thinks she became a prostitute but wasnt sure if it was by force or not because she was really kinky features a great scene where he hangs out with a couple of french bums carrying cheap bottles of wine and offering to give him some and i will always find that image deeply hilarious of french bums chugging down wine straight from the bottle because thats gotta be something that happens in paris like literally every minute of the day but it doesnt match up with the popular image of paris at all

so apparently all that currently exists of the new animaniacs is this ninety second clip so i figured id just watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh_vASjvYQE im bothered less by whatever changes have been made to the animation and more by the shameless wanking over the original show framed by a parody of a movie thats even older than it was

I've read books on the First Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and the Seven Days Battles and it was only that last one that made me want to throw it at the wall from how dumb it was. McClellan sucked. (Malvern Hill was at least illustrative of the power and value of well-placed artillery, even before Pickett's Charge)

If you read Shelby Foote's Civil War series you have to spend like 1500 pages with McClellan constantly overestimating the size of whatever Confederate army was opposing him because of dishwater intel from the Pinkertons. I could forgive it once but after Joseph E Johnston retreated from Munson's Hill and left nothing but Quaker guns behind, McClellan should have known that maybe Johnston didn't outnumber him two-to-one after all. He just sits outside of Richmond for weeks because he's always convinced that the Confederacy outnumbers him by some insane ratio when the opposite is nearly always true. Grant is a breath of fresh air because there's no flummery or pageantry or pomposity, just quiet confidence. He's the first commander in the east to use the Union's superior numbers to its advantage even if it means fuckups like Cold Harbor. McClellan getting owned in the 1864 election is the only consolation you get from him.

Last night I finished watching Deadwood for the first time, but not the movie yet. I thought the first season was pretty good, second season started to spin it's wheels and the third season was pretty bad at just having stuff going on of no consequence. The very Shakespearian dialogue made me watch with subtitles on, which I've never done for an English dialogue show before, and I thought it was all a bit much. Looks like they put a huge effort into the sets and costumes, but it really doesn't get above a 3/5 from me.

I was one of the idiots who liked MovieBob from my lib days. Maybe a decade ago or so, his reviews seemed like a good mix of informed criticism (that didn't lean on "intentionally controversial" contrarian takes) and earnest geek fanboyism which I kind of understood at the time. It also helped that he aggressively told the GamerGate crowd to gently caress off; his liberal politics didn't seem to be that terrible at the time. It's the same benefit of the doubt I afforded to other liberals, even though there were plenty of clues about his gross class politics. I was fairly late to the MovieBob hate train. It was only fully mask off after the 2016 election. Echo Chamber has issued a correction as of 19:43 on Oct 19, 2020 |

It's a good setup or start ... but boy does it fall off, with plot threads that go nowhere and rolling around in its own gratuitous elements. Like the ridiculous serial killer in series 2. Prestige TV has become a plague, with lots of underemployed journalists and bloggers writing endlessly about what's going to happen on X, what just happened on X, 10 times that something happened on X, actor explains their character, sneak peak at next season, director explains their "process", what it all means ...

Sopranos was great at the time, but I can't imagine watching through it again. I'm liking the new trend of streaming services throwing everything at the wall, with stuff like Raised by Wolves and Undone.
