Your psych, your monk, your numb3rs, your bones, things of this nature? or did we leave that in the 10s The Mentalist and the pretenders were the only good ones. Both were about magical people on revenge missions against cops.

Show why the elves don't even like sex, completely uncensored, and they're gonna get a lot of buzz on social media. Maybe the male elf's dick detaches and gets absorbed instead of ejaculating, another one slowly growing back to replace the original. There are infinite possibilities really, for any showrunner brave enough. Get this poster a show to run

has anyone else watched this show/read the books? one of the best shows on air imo, one of the great literary adaptations and i'm so glad they've gotten the chance to (hopefully not jinxing it here) do all 4 books https://twitter.com/BrilliantFriend/status/1491479513644953602

Personally I can't put a finger on why exactly the recent trend of more nudity and more explicit sex on TV is bad, necessarily. I guess it just feels kind of lazy? Like, we need to make Lord of the Rings edgier and more mature, let's show more nudity. Justin Tyme has issued a correction as of 18:24 on Feb 10, 2022 |

LOTR is deliberately written like a myth, so lots of things should go unexplained or unseen. That doesn't mean it can't feature things like sex (though the books didn't, so..), but it'll be really stupid if it's anything like GOT, which was basically doing the exact opposite -- showing the ugly reality of a magical fantasy setting. It's like how Gandalf is a wizard but doesn't shoot fireballs. Half the time it seems like he's not doing anything at all.

smarxist posted:they struck a good balance on characters and banter that never really got lopsided too far yeah, dule hill and roday have fantastic chemistry which goes a really long way. it also has great guest stars, like the season 2 episode with Tim Curry who gives one of his best performances ever as an insufferable, pampered reality show judge I never saw the movies but in general I think psych is basically the platonic ideal of casual viewing: funny, light, clever but not pretentious, and a predictable but never completely derivative take on the police procedural

ughhhh posted:The movie starts with the main character who started the red cross going to a concentration camp for Boers and saying this is really bad to Lord Kirchner who is overseeing the camp. I thought Lord Kirchner was going to be the bad guy, but he ends up being a rough but lovable mentor to the son of the main character. Lord Kirchners death is also shown as a tragedy that nearly ruined the war... they are definitely gonna have the heroes shoot Lenin if they make a sequel

The show knows what it's doing, knows the tone it wants to have, and isn't ashamed to be exactly what it is

I’m betting Celeborn won’t exist and she’ll have a sex scene with young Gandalf. Doesn’t matter Gandalf isn’t around at this point in time, since they clearly don’t care about the books at this point.
