Spinz posted:I still am flabbergasted at how Game of Thrones was rushed at the end, I still just can't believe it. What's even funnier is they took a year off to supposedly try to get the story and filming scenes just right. I've never seen something go from such high quality to low quality like Game of Thrones. And it's such a weird thing too. Like, these were the same people working on it the entire time.

One of the retrospective things talked about the way they wrote scripts was like 3-5 people would write character plots and dialogue and stuff on their own, then they’d just hand them off to each other and everyone would just edit each others scripts before they just mashed it all together. Hearing that just made me wonder how it ever managed to be good. Assumedly because they were still constrained by GRRMs major plot beats until season 5/6.

Thom Brennaman was a Major League Baseball commentator and he dropped the f-slur on a hot mic. This led to the worst apology of all time and a meme in which our own SAS subforum references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LECJbMDhJQ He's now broadcasting high school sports

BATS FLY AT MOON posted:I would imagine she got a decent paycheck for Stranger Things That was still almost 2 decades after the shoplifting incident. Her being caught stealing basically killed her career and reputation for years, so much so that it became a running joke on film sets for other actors and crew to ‘watch their wallets’ in case she tried to steal poo poo again. She ended up just doing smaller indie films and bit parts in stuff for a long time before Stranger Things came along because the incident meant she was essentially blacklisted from Hollywood.

I am not a baseball fan, but as I understand it, Nick Castellanos (the dude who interrupted Brennaman with a home run) has some sort of latent superpower that activates every time he senses a commentator trying to be deadly serious about something. It's like an absurdist sketch comedy bit. Nobody is allowed to eulogize or memorialize or apologize without this dude just absolutely cranking a loving dinger. Next time I receive really terrible news I'm going to assume Nick Castellanos is hitting a home run about it somewhere.

Busters posted:The "Rick and Morty Sounds Wrong" thread reminded me that funnyman Justin Roiland turned out to be a poo poo sack, and some of his jokes about toxic relationships weren't jokes. quote:Dear friends, I have sincerely apologized for my post regarding Dolly Parton, BLM, race and everything. I apologized for my actions, my bad choice of words and any offense I may have caused to anyone. I don’t know what else you want from me. If you’re not satisfied with my apology, just tell me what else you want. Sure sounds like a sincere apology to me, and not at all a "please don't fire me from my job" apology And let's see just what it was that he said that caused all this controversy in the first place: Yep, looks like some harmless ol' shitposting to me, and most certainly not the angry rantings of someone who's truly a racist piece of poo poo

Also Squidbillies didn't get put on "indefinitely hiatus" because "because the new voice isn't good enough". They fired Hinson and replaced him with Tracy Morgan as a "gently caress you" to him. I don't know how the OP got "the new voice isn't good enough" out of that, when it was Hinson being a racist shitbag that made them decide to cancel the show in the first place.

The drat thing of it is, of all things to make Hinson out himself as a complete shitbag like that, it was going off on Dolly Parton for supporting BLM. Dolly Parton. That woman is almost universally beloved. What the gently caress did he think was going to happen?

Improbable Lobster posted:She went full bigot shortly after her loss, I have no respect for her and even less for the UFC and their dipshit ownership There's plenty of things to criticise Ronda on. I know she's been truthing about Sandy Hook for instance. We shouldn't invent false reasons to criticise someone when real ones exist. The two things I called out in my post (history revising and being shamed for retiring once it was clear that the sport had passed her by) are a problem in the martial arts community and should not be done. If it's normal to do against fighters with bad politics, then it's normal to do against the others too. We should criticise people/fighters for what they've actaully said and done, not for reasons we invented.

Well jeez, those posts are way worse than I remember them being. I thought he did them on the Hinson Account. But Stuart Baker is the real man, and those aren't jokes. What an utter fuckhead, I guess the character just stops short of his persona. But that begs a further question: why did he spend years mocking conservatives and "rednecks" as one of the most through parodies of "southern" culture? There's no way he isn't in on the joke. Sydney Bottocks posted:... Dolly Parton. That woman is almost universally beloved. What the gently caress did he think was going to happen? And this is why I keep going back to thinking it was shitposting. It's like saying the Beatles are no-tallent hippies. It SOUNDS like the Hinson character. Spitting on someone who you'd never EVER attack. Someone who's contributed a huge amount to country music. Hinson would call her a "big tittied floozy who don't know nothin 'bout a nine ta five". Because that's the ego of the character. But... it's not... he got the fox news boomer mind rot. Busters fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Oct 18, 2023 |

The most annoying thing about the final season is that the first episode back they had Walton Goggins on as a guest star and he would have been an amazing Early. The newest season of Rick and Morty just aired with the replacement voices and they're pretty good. If you didn't know you probably wouldn't have noticed anything different about those characters. Although the premiere did have Mr Poopybutthole in it and he was voiced by a new actor too which was noticeable.

The new Rick/Morty VAs actually sound really solid, it's a shame they couldn't find somebody else to do the other 200 characters Roiland voiced. Also a shame that the writing went to absolute poo poo and they completely wasted Hugh Jackman. It felt almost exactly like an AI-generated script. Hot, hot trash all the way up to the incredibly cringy post-credits tag. Not even sure why they're carrying on, tbh. There's no shame in saying "hey look the life's blood of this program was actually a huge piece of poo poo so we're just gonna shut it down here, thanks for the memories." Is the fan base still rabid enough to tolerate this hot, wet feces?

Also according to all the reports Roiland barely had anything to do with the show past season 2. Harmon gave an interview where he said that Roiland became checked out when they had to hire an actual showrunner to be in charge and make sure stuff actually got done. A post in another thread reminded me of Jay Johnston. He was never a leading guy but got steady work as a comedy character actor and doing voices in cartoons. All that ended when he was seen at the Capitol on January 6th.
