I think I remember one or both of them on Arsinio Hall to talk about the whole thing and performed a new song. It wasn't bad but the damage was done. I think it's because they won a Grammy that this went down? Session musicians are often used and un-credited in all genres of music. All that hair metal that consumed Dial MTV during this time period was full of it.

Dapper_Swindler posted:they were on the super mario show. I like how the original airing of the Milli Vanilli episode of the Mario show aired in October 1990, presenting the band as cool and good. But this was already months after the lipsyncing in the concert thing happened and people were making jokes about Milli Vanilli being fake. Then Rob and Fab were fired in November 1990 and it was confessed that they did not sing on their records. Just like, lol that was pretty bad timing on making that episode

Welp https://collider.com/tara-strong-recast-boxtown/ quote:After voicing Loki’s Ms. Minutes and helping make it one of the most popular characters from the Marvel series, voice actor Tara Strong has been recast in a project she worked on. The actor was fired from the upcoming animated series Boxtown – a decision that was reached after the actor took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice her support for Israel and calling the bombing of the Gaza Strip “smart.”

And this was after the show's version of Literally Satan was killed in a surprise attack by the main character's cousin because the showrunners thought paying off 9 years of build up to the main character fighting and killing the main villain of the show was boring and predictable and it would generate more social media buzz if a random name they drew out of a hat did it instead.

I remember my sister was taking nighttime college courses and asked me to tape an episode of a show called Sister Kate because Milli Vanilli was going to appear on it and she didn’t want to miss it, so I recorded it for her.quote:Rob Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan appeared as Milli Vanilli in the January 7, 1990 episode "Eugene's Feat", speaking a few lines in their natural voices before (what was later revealed to be) lip-synching their hit "Blame It on the Rain". The show only lasted 19 episodes before it was cancelled, and not too many people even remember it, but I do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEVmTGmD5vQ

It was a precipitous drop off quality on almost every front: Plot holes that were too obvious to ignore, stories that went no-where, characters acting so far out of character as be unrecognisable or completely invalidate years of character growth, a rushed script, and a uninteresting, unsatisfying resolution.

A show version of premature ejaculation when the books ran out and they saw all the Star Wars money in their future. Danerys was always meant to go mad, but slower and with cause... what we got was dire.

I can't remember exactly where things changed but at first the show was very cohesive and I think basically the last two seasons they changed to the same format as the Star Wars sequels where plot and consistency really don't matter to anyone. As long as they can make a five minute scene visually remarkable, it doesn't matter what happened before or happens after that, as long as it's another visually remarkable five minute scene. Just get as many visually remarkable five minutes scenes together as we can muster and then throw them together in some fashion, who gives a poo poo, it doesn't matter what order or if they make sense together. I think the most egregious thing for me was how they played up the ballistae to be these game changers and then oh poo poo I can't point them up I guess, they're completely useless oh well. Everything just became constantly so loving stupid and inconsistent. Jelly fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Oct 17, 2023 |

I liked how the show looked originally, some of the sets were a little dinky, but the places looked fairly realistic overall. The cinematography was pretty great for TV at the time. They certainly did a good job making the various locations feel different. Once they got CGI skeleton money, that's when the show got bad.

Yeah, basically some bells ring, Dany goes crazy and burns down Kings Landing, Cersei is killed by a falling brick, Jon then kills Dany because she was like "I'm gonna fascism all over the place now lol this rules", Bran becomes King because Tryion's like "I'm high as balls and I want to die" (though that might have just been Peter Dinklage, I dunno), and the Others are destroyed by Arya instead of Jon because [bets it all on black and spins roulette wheel] Also you are right, there will be no ending to the books and even if there was, GRRM has already said the show's ending is the book's ending, they just cocked up the way they got there.

Another example of how nobody gave a poo poo is that Starbucks cups made it into two separate scenes in the final season. Also in the final season they just completely gave up on the logistics of travel when trips around the country that previously took months happened between scenes.

When GOT tried to recreate the chemistry of Tyrion & Bronn and Jamie & Brienne, by pairing up Jamie & Bronn as a comedy double act, I knew it was time to switch off. Also Ed Sheeran turned up in an episode playing a medieval version of himself.Jelly posted:Book 3 - 1991 Wolves of the Calla (Book 5) was the beginning of the meta style storytelling. The books themselves existed in universe and Stephen King is some kind of prophet? So much happens in the last two books I can't be certain but I think one character reads the plot of the last Dark Tower novel to figure out how to beat the bad guy? Wolves of the Calla is still a great book but it's definitely the start of the weirdness. Go read Wizard and Glass (Book 4) for the best Dark Tower novel though, it can almost be read as a standalone. Kosmo Gallion fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Oct 17, 2023 |

Lance Armstrong outed himself as a piece of poo poo pretty quickly, but chef Cat Cora was the real rear end in a top hat of the show. Imagine having an obsessive bone to pick with Andy Richter. I didn't know who she was before watching that, but I hate her now.

Pennywise the Frown posted:Who the gently caress hates Andy? The show is typical survivor-style reality show. Elect a commander and they choose who leaves at the end of a mission. Andy was commander and had a crazy difficult choice and he didn't have a really good option on his mission for who was the "lesser" because everyone did a good job. He chose Cat and her partner, possibly because they were less established. It was really a no-win impossible choice and I'm sure his choice was pretty much flip a coin, and ultimately she got to stay. Then for the entire rest of the whole show she was obsessed with hating him until she finally got the moment to kick him off, which she successfully did, and she lied through her teeth that it wasn't personal when she'd consistently demonstrated it was. She's just a bitter, ugly, vengeful person, and I can't get over that she targeted that ire toward Andy, of all people. He was just trying to have fun and cheer everyone up the whole time.
