Flying Zamboni posted:I felt a lot of sympathy towards AJ when I watched the show for the first time last year. Sure he's a dumbass little poo poo in a bunch of ways but he had no real choice in how he'd turn out. By the end of the series it's clear that the character has a growing sense that there's something very wrong with his life and he has no way of dealing with it and no support system that can help him. I guess I can agree sort of on my first watch, but on rewatches I just found him annoying. I hated AJ centric episodes. Just saw the actor who played AJ is 37 and Jamie-Lynn Sigler is 41. As someone who watched The Sopranos when it originally aired that makes me feel super old. Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:Mad Men is a funny, funny show Yep. I will even say The Wire can be funny as hell at times too.

I knew a kid with an eerily similar childhood--dad was a very successful working class italian dude, mom was a distant alcoholic, lived in a giant multimillion suburban box, was simultaneously pampered and ignored--a real shithead bully with no real friends. By the time he coasted through HS and tried to go to college, he hit a brick wall because he was so underdeveloped emotionally. AJ is annoying but might be my favorite character for that reason.

finally watched Le French Dispatch (hbomax) and it was definitely not... terrible. the short Owen Wilson segment was really good, the few moments of Bill Murray were fantastic, and the Guillermo/Seydoux chapter was absolutely great, literally the best thing he's done since Tenenbaums, but the other chapters were just kind of fine. i wanted to like the Frances McDormand story a lot more than i did

Most of the way through DB Cooper: Where Are You? and it's a weird thing. It starts as your typical true crime series on a genuinely perplexing mystery. There's talking heads telling you how important and fascinating the story is, re-enactments, recaps and reactions, at least twice as long as it needs to be. It climaxes in a cringe-worthy stakeout as amateur investigators go to confront their suspect. Then it pivots into a critique of true crime fans, invokes possible collusion between an investigator and the suspect, criticises internet communities. Then veers back into someone finding supposed messages encoded into letters, allegations of CIA involvement ... It's almost a parody of true crime documentaries.

Yeah I liked the direction of the final episodes, basically pulling the veil all the way back about insane a lot of these true crime people are. Especially the way they treat Colbert, where they seem to go along with his story at first but then reveal he's actually a delusional guy who thinks he's been divinely ordained to find the true identity of DB Cooper, and even other crackpots don't like him.

nice, you mean brave new worlds or whatever? I just noticed the Orville is back lol I have a lot to catch up on honestly as much as I loved Nathan for you I'm not sure I can watch his new episode lol. He really leans into the cringe factor in a way that physically pains me and I have to take it in in small doses. and it seems dialed to 1000 with this new show I am however still loving what we do in the shadows. And the bobs burgers movie was good imo if you like that show A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jul 26, 2022 |

And on the subject of Trek stuff Lower Decks is fun. Paramount +’s big weakness is their movie library, a lot of it is stuff you can find on multiple other sites already (including Prime) including material that’s straight up public domain. And like Peacock they’re not making much use of their own library as a studio.

I'll take responsibility for bringing it up most recently but I'm not the only one. I can't believe the tuna episode of Kenan and Kel is #2. That poo poo was iconic for a whole generation. The show is exactly how I remember, which is to say, over the top and 90s as hell. If for some reason you are on this forum and were too young for it or All That and don't hate sketch comedy, I'd be interested to hear how either of them track. As a kid, it was the pinnacle of comedy. Glottis fucked around with this message at 05:43 on Jul 26, 2022 |

Apparently Hey Dude was only on for 2 years? Crazy how time gets stretched out when you're a kid, it felt like that show went on for much longer than that. I guess I probably watched reruns for a period of time after that though.

A couple of the kids changed the D to a N, so that it now said NUDE RANCH. Then they started to get nudists, who I guess had seen the advertisement flying over the ranch in planes, and they just didn't know how to handle it. There's a good documentary The Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story that talks about the development of all those early Nick shows. It was pretty interesting. I think it's on Hulu?

even if you don't dig the music, Woodstock (hbomax) is just super well done as a documentary, and there's a lot a of interview and just general stuff "the acid isn't poisoned... it's just poorly manufactured..."
