Geez the last couple of episodes of Barry season 3 go pretty loving dark. When the intro has no horns you know some bad poo poo is going down. Great stuff!

sponges posted:The first Clerks movie is like pure distillation of 90s Gen X apathy. It’s so loving weird that Kevin Smith made a god drat Clerks trilogy. Obviously the idea is that you watch these characters grow but they’re so fundamentally uninteresting outside of the parameters of the first film. Clerks 2 I was pretty meh on, but I have to admit I really liked 3. I was really worried because his last batch of films are just AWFUL. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Yoga Hosers, Tusk... Awful

Simplex posted:The reunion episode for Season 2 is one of the most surreal things I've seen. It's like a recreation of the Chappelle Show Mad Real World skit, where the one sane person just gets ganged up on and made to look like an rear end in a top hat by a bunch of lunatics. I really like hearing about these shows second hand. Got any details? I looked up the show and it got sued for inhuman working conditions?

On the contrary, I would argue that the dynamic between his daughter and Depp's daughter is the only good thing about Yoga Hosers, but that's less because either is a particularly good actor and more because they were real life friends at the time It's like how Clerks feels more authentic because of how lovely and low budget it looks (because it was), most of his successes are incidental

This isn't really on topic but this conco reminds me....I saw Zach and Miri make a Porn which was directed by Kevin Smith and starred Seth Rogen at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Q&A didn't have Seth Rogen but it had everyone else and I remember Kevin Smith talking to a giant auditorium full of hundreds of people about how Jason Mewes obviously had to masterbate a little to get his dick bigger on film, because he had seen it so many times, while an obviously uncomfortable Mewes squirmed next to him. Smith seems like a dick.

I thought that… (handmaids take) Serina set up Fred in a deal to turn him in so she could be with her child in Canada but then once they got to Canada they were like “you are responsible for a unimaginable amount of rapes so you’re under arrest too” but that’s around the point I stopped watching.

Handmade stale was good as long as they had book material to crib from. So yeah, season 1 was good and I like to believe that there was no season 2 or anything after. The uncertain ending of season 1 was a perfect way to finish the story.

Speaking of emotional disaster porn. Finally finished Ozark last night. Good show... didn't overstay it's welcome (although it probably coulda been 20% shorter maybe). On one hand, I don't like them getting away with everything - for the most part - on the other hand... given the world we live in it feels about right. The final lines were pretty perfect. Mel: "You don't get to win. You don't get to be the Kochs or the Kennedys or whatever loving royalty you think you are. The world doesn't work like that." Wendy: "Since when?" Felt pretty accurate so... good job I guess.

Shageletic posted:I really like hearing about these shows second hand. Got any details? I looked up the show and it got sued for inhuman working conditions? I think as a baseline you have to be pretty narcissistic to want to be on a reality show. You have to be incredibly narcissistic that the producers will pick you to be on the show. And you have to be unbelievably narcissistic to star in a reality show. So to start with, basically everyone in the show is crazy. With Love is Blind, the gimmick isn't really even fully revealed to the audience, as i think they would fully lose the audience. But the first is the vast goes on a serious of speed dates where the gimmick is the couples are separated by a wall, and they can't see the other person. Eventually they whittle down who they wish to continue "dating" and then at the end of a week they decide if they want to get married. Once the couples get engaged they will finally see their partner. They spend some time living together and meeting each others families, and then on wedding day they make the choice at the altar of they actually want to go through the marriage or not. In season 2 one of the cast broke kayfabe and just treated the whole thing like the joke it actually is. Meanwhile everyone else was desperately trying to pretend like the show is some kind of real scientific experiment.

Elisabeth Moss rules in general, but I'm way too behind on the show and have a lot more things I wanna see immediately than catching up Speaking of, I'm about to finish that new Dahmer miniseries. Evan Peters is incredible and the whole thing is really unnerving

This is an extremely strange read of Shake, he wasn't some provocateur revealing the man behind the curtain or something, he just acted like a narcissistic dickhead for the entire show. Asking the dates whether he could theoretically lift them on his shoulders at a rave isn't taking some noble stand against the premise of the show.

I liked her in Mad Men and she was good in The Invisible Man, but I find The Handmaid's Tale pretty corny and such a major drop down in quality compared to the book (that also completely misses its...point...) She played a pretty good heavily fictionalized Shirley Jackson too, though I don't really remember that movie having much of an impact on me. STILL need to finish Her Smell although a lot of people keep saying don't bother.

I'm enjoying And/or so far, but it's impossible for me to tell if that's solely because I thought Obi-Wan was 90% pure poo poo. You'll see some people acting like it's loving brilliant, which I can't really say at this point, but I will say I at least enjoy the characters and it's not 100% based on callbacks. Plus we finally learn what Diego Luna's homeland Space Mexico is actually called. I'd say you should give it a shot if you liked Rogue One, and absolutely give it a shot if you liked any of the other D+ Star Wars serieses. If you really liked Obi-Wan I have no clue what you will or will not like, though.

I think Rogue One is the rare prequel that actually succeeded because it managed to do the near impossible: it made A New Hope a better movie because it heightened the stakes and provided key context that was always missing. But Andor, Oof. Reviews warned that it was slow to start, but 3 episodes in I feel like absolutely nothing has happened. And I do not know the purpose of learning about his childhood in Space Mexico. So far the only good Disney Plus Star Wars shows have been The Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars, which are all Dave Filloni. The shows have suffered when his hands have been part of the show. Obi Wan was essentially a purposeless show, and the Book of Boba Fett was a mess.

There are some really cool parts of Andor that show the way average people/non jedis would live in that universe. I thought the highlight of the show so far was stellan skarsgård and the other old guy complaining about how bad the parking logistics are at that spaceport. There is also not much happening in the first 3 episodes lol.

The show is taking a ground up view at the nascent rebellion and establishes how the galaxy even worked during the imperial transition (corp-renta-cops are the front line!). The first 3 episodes show us that the regular people are already doing small acts of rebellion (the shop owner, bix, andor, maarva) and it culminates in even more space cops getting killed one of whom was killed directly by the citizenry not just Andor. Andor gets recruited into the rebellion and the space cops suffer a massive defeat that will likely escalate to imperial involvement. What do you mean by nothing happens? Is it just nothing in the sense of galactic scale? The show is so well made and the story works across all 3 episodes you gotta enjoy it for what it is.
