I don't want to act like the show ever went ACAB, since it was a TNT procedural, but for what it's worth they kind of acknowledge that Sedgewick's character is a pretty iffy person at best and the satisfying victories in the show only come when she's unleashed on worse people. I didn't watch many of the early episodes, but by the end they have some plot points in play to that effect.

Timby posted:

The last two seasons are pretty much entirely about how her history of being terrible lands her in extremely hot water.

I joined someone else watching near the beginning of season 5, and she is all about threatening people with the death penalty and covering up police misconduct. My favorite moment so far is probably her taking a nurse call button away from someone in a hospital bed so she could interrogate them without their lawyer. Then they'll bookend the episode with her being sad about her cat. I don't know, it's just a show, but as I get older and the news gets more horrifying the more I recognize as awful in cop shows. Parts of it are exciting at least, and if you like the cop parts of Law and Order more than the court parts it's probably good. Does Major Crimes end up being better?

Major Crimes was apparently really forgettable because I definitely watched all of it back when it was on and I don't really remember much of it. It's basically just more of the same except with a new lead. Although it kind of goes in the opposite direction where it's about a by-the-book internal affairs cop getting more slippery as the show goes on. The central gimmick that they started with was that she was desperate to get deals because it saved money and reduced the risk of a trial.

Im just tired of films about white people going to a FOREIGN LAND and those around them only exist as thin stereotypes or accessories, a backdrop. Eastern men tend to be emasculated or portrayed as controlling/more tyrannical in these stereotypical films while eastern women are overly sexualized. The only two really significant Indian characters in Darjeeling are both of those stereotypes!!!

I guess it's freshly obnoxious for me since I just saw it recently for the first time on Starz. Also saw Bottle Rocket on there for the first time, tho I actually liked that a fair bit, less obnoxious.

Love Death + Robots Season 3 is out! It's a mixed bag.

Three Robots: Exit Strategies - I wanted more of these characters, but I also wanted them to not hit me over the head with reminders about how much current events suck. I also think it steps all over the first one's worldbuilding.

Bad Travelling - A+. Watching a scared ship crew trying to appease a giant crab and the power struggle that ensued was so much fun to watch.

The Very Pulse of the Machine - Trippy, but great visuals alone aren't really my thing. Reminds me of that Blue one some people seemed to love from an earlier season. I'm not the best person to review this one, sorry.

Night of the Mini Dead - Cute and fun, like someone set up little animated dioramas of a zombie apocalypse from start to finish. I saw so many little details and I'm sure there were plenty that I missed.

Kill Team Kill - Gung-ho soldiers encounter a beast. Hyperviolent gory animation with a whole lot of swearing and non-stop MCU-esque quips. If that's your thing, I guess it'd be good?

Swarm - I liked the ending, but I think it's been used before in a science fiction novel I've heard of? Or something similar.

Mason's Rats - A guy tries to get evolved rats out of his barn. Great animation, a little meh on the plot and resolution.

In the Vaulted Hills Esteemed - Actually some very generic Lovecraftian stuff, but only if you're as invested in that stuff as I am, probably. Still, seeing it on the screen was neat.

Jibaro - Wow. I don't know what mythology the siren was based around, but the emotion on her was fantastic. I've never seen a monster that not only enjoyed killing, but you actually feel sorry for her showing despair when she can't Do The Killing, joy and hopefulness when she thinks she's found a way to kill again, ...and, well, the rest of it. A+.

Permanent vacation was a nice leap back in time. Still thinking about it. I liked the set design a lot as well as the 16mm effect. New York looked truly decrepit. I’m reminded of Heideckers The Comedy, which in hindsight seems to be an homage to permanent vacation, but with the characterizations flipped (vacations protagonist has a heart of gold). Then there’s kind of a surreal amarcord vibe going on in the background the whole time underscored by the ambient sax and metal bell soundtrack. The ending shot is also really beautiful.

I needed something wholesome to watch and Paddington 2 (HBO Max) delivered. I remember being more delighted by the first one, but that might just have been because I wasn’t expecting much from it. If you haven’t seen either, they are completely sincere & utterly charming fantasies where everything turns out wonderful in the end if you’re just nice to people.

Some visual, some with speaking lines.

Ugly Sonic from the original Sonic trailer and he's played by Tim Robinson, Paul Rudd, Randy Marsh, McGruff the Crime Dog, Tigra, He Man and Skeletor, Darkwing Duck, 90s Disney afternoon Baloo but in his new real bear form from the live action Jungle Book singing Disney afternoon themes, Shredder, Roger Rabbit.

The whole plot revolves around taking copyrighted characters and turning them into offbrand looking characters through forced surgery that are then forced to film weird knockoff films, such as Pooj The Fat Honey Bear and The Sampsons. Tons of background movie poster gags and signs. Like Butthead is running for president.



There's way way more but they are fast.

I thought it was good. The writing was above average and it felt like they knew what sort of tone they were going for and kept it consistent. The extensive cameos outside Disney IP helped, and had a good blend of nostalgia/genre/comedy. Felt like a good follow-up to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. My main complaint was that cell shaded Chip looked weird and they should have just animated him by hand to contrast with CG Dale. Maybe they intended to but the switch to streaming cut the budget? Still felt good enough for a theatrical release and overall exceeded my expectations.

I think it's superb, I have no idea what they're talking about, like they're short stories so some character development gets lost but there's also Jeffrey Wright giving an utterly devastating monologue.
