Just finished all of Search Party and just…. Jesus Christ I can’t do anything but admire the balls of it all. Fuckin’ hell. Also the quickest I’ve ever binged 5 seasons of a show.

I feel like I shouldn't have enjoyed the first episode of Maisel as much as I did. I hope they keep far away from anything resembling social issues this season before they poo poo the bed more with braindead. Keep it a fluffy goofy upper west side pastiche please because that was fun again. .... they will gently caress it up I'm sure.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Just finished the fifth and, I believe, best so far episode of Pam & Tommy. It's good but it's definitely a huge bummer. Is there a lot of drug content? RE that spoiler. e: watched all of After Beth and loved it. It starts out with so much cringe it was hard to get through but I love Schumer's wry humor.

I've only watched the first available episodes of Minx, but it feels like it took a lot of inspiration from GLOW. Uptight feminist wants to do serious X, has no options but the most lowbrow X, learns that lowbrow X has as much (or more) opportunity for dignity, empowerment, and creativity than serious X. The first two episodes are practically procedural: Joyce thinks some sex thing is gross and beneath her, Doug tough loves her about how the world works, she has a heartfelt talk with her infinitely more accepting sister, who unlocks that "real" women want and worry about sex thing, then she finds a way that make sex thing "feminist." Ironically, because Jake Johnson is such a bigger star than Also, the first episode had a lot of playful dicks. The Modern Leper fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Mar 21, 2022 |

Judakel posted:Black Crab is visually cool and the action is very tense. I loved it. It reminded me a lot of Sorcerer/Wages of Fear. The stripped down nature of the plot is also interesting, we don't even learn who 'the enemy' is, they all wear masks and even their helicopter is an anonymous vaguely futuristic CGI mix of Russian, American and European models CeeJee fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Mar 21, 2022 |

Yeah, I enjoyed Black Crab quite a bit as well, I really liked the understated way they introduced us to the world. No great zombie apocalypse, no cackling evil villain, just a world that has gone thoroughly to poo poo and we're right in the middle of it, and much like the protagonists we're much more concerned with what's going on right now than with the past. Though I will say it dragged a little bit towards the last act, but not extremely. Also it's bleak as hell goddamn.

For the most part, you're in luck, they keep it pretty light hearted, although they do touch on social issues a little. It has been pointed out that for a show that is so much about the Jewish identity, not a single one of the actors in the show is Jewish. That said, as charming as the first two seasons were, season 4 just ended and man has the show gotten really grating. I was happy though to see Jason Ralph (real life husband of Rachel Brosnahan) in a minor role this season though.

Not really more than you'd expect a big through line in the series is Motley Crue is past their prime and there's a scene where Tommy Lee has a freak out because they've been bumped to Studio B so Third Eye Blind can record in Studio A.

Winning Time on HBOMax is a mixed recommend for me, 3 eps in (it's a weekly release). It's the story of the birth of the 80s Lakers and Magic Johnson. It's a good story that deserves to be told and has a fantastic performance by John C. Reilly as the new Lakers owner Jerry Buss, and Quincy Isaiah does a very good job as Magic, with just enough charisma to pull it off (while being far short of the amount of charisma the actual Magic Johnson had, because no one is that charismatic. Except maybe Marshawn Lynch) The problems are that even 3 episodes it feels like the story is being stretched out, and the overall presentation is off putting. It's very try hard, cutesy / kitschy 4th wall breaking in a way that seems like a show made by boomers to appeal to gen Z'ers. Maybe it's just me, but you'll get a feel for the show within the first 5 minutes and can tell me if it's actually cool and I'm just an old. I guess a recommend if you're interested in the subject at all. E: I neglected to mention the art direction and attention to detail, which is fantastic. The random bottle of Wild Turkey that's in the background of a shot for 3 seconds is period authentic. Ditto an out of focus Rolex, shoes, just little things that aren't even part of the scene look like they had thought put into them. Really great job by the crew responsible. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 00:29 on Mar 22, 2022 |

Flatch on Hulu is really good, despite being a post-Office mockumentary because that's what comedy is now i'd say it's closer in quality to WWDITS than The Office. probably about as good as Parks and Rec season 2 or 3.

I'm still going to theaters as much as I can because I love theaters, the theater experience, and nothing I have at home compares to either (nor would it cost less to upgrade to than the ticket price) Definitely helps that all my local theaters renovated their seats to heated recliners

I desperately miss theaters, but I recognize that every time I go to one it's a risk. So I'm going to continue only doing so for movies that feel worthy of that risk. Lately there have not really been any that reach that level for me. I'm certainly not going to risk my health for the 40th Batman movie, especially not when it's going to be on HBO soon.

Jackass 4 is good. Saw it in theaters at an early preview and it was all 30+ having a great time. Kids these days just don’t get the appeal of Chris Pontius’ dick and balls!

George H.W. oval office posted:Jackass 4 is good. Saw it in theaters at an early preview and it was all 30+ having a great time. Kids these days just don’t get the appeal of Chris Pontius’ dick and balls! Jackass will likely forever be one of those things "of it's time". The concept of raunchy pranks and stunts is not only no longer novel, but is almost limitless in abundance in the YouTube and social media age. It sucks because Jackass certainly has it's own "style" of pranks of being highly dangerous but at the same time not meanspirited (for the most part). Similar to "video nasties" it's something that is not only hard to imagine to garner much influence in the modern era, but hard to imagine it even being a thing. Even if the Jackass crew somehow blew up in the modern age instead of the early 2000s, it would have been through Tiktok videos, changing the whole tone and format. Then again there was Zach Holmes (Warning: A painful, though not gory, stunt): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd2hn4rgjNo He got a show on MTV which didn't pan out too good. Flipping through it, the "stunts" and "pranks" missed what made Jackass and even his previous channel so notable.

The thing that’s always made Jackass fun was that it’s just a bunch of friends doing poo poo to each other and not other people. At most, a totally out of the loop bystander would just be befuddled or uncomfortable by whatever antics ensued.

In the earlier pre jackass stuff they destroyed a lot of other people's poo poo. I'm sure by the time Jackass was a thing it was all cleared ahead of time though.

The few exceptions I can think of is in the film where they harass the Japanese public, like pretending to be a cone in front of an escalator. There was also the air horn with the golfers, but to be fair they seemed to be just a bunch of rich assholes.

Harmlessly annoying the public is fine and funny. There's definitely some kind of childish/dickish stuff in CKY and big brother videos like just destroying trees in public spaces and I doubt the original version of the rental car gag had anyone in on the joke etc. It was all mostly pretty tame though. Even at it's worst it was never like some of the vile poo poo late 90s xtreme reality videos produced like bumfights etc.
