MonsieurChoc posted:It's wild how Sascha Baron Cohen's wildly racist unfunny stuff was so popular. it still baffles me how more people at the time didnt realize just how grotesque cohens whole bit is hes abusing the willingness of people to give a foreigner who speaks broken english the benefit of the doubt and implicitly smearing them as racist for not being enough of a smug know it all to call him out sooner the big irony is that it only works at all because even the viewer whos allegedly in on the joke has to understand that the stereotypes cohen uses are fundamentally logical this is why bruno got a lot more collar tugging than borat did because while the racism of the borat character was so generic it cant even apply to the country hes allegedly from bruno was basically gayface

Ammanas posted:i doubt thats really true beyond 'Bezos liked the LOTR movies or read the books in high school', because any lote weeb would have made something considerably better than that drek He basically just used his unlimited resources to outbid everyone else for the rights to the appendices from the Tolkien Estate because he very publicly said he wanted his own Game of Thrones style cultural phenomenon on his company's streaming service. He then handed it off to 2 J.J. Abrams style rejects and then probably forgot about it because '1 billion should do that trick!'. I am a bit surprised Amazon has kept on JD Payne and Patrick McKay after the dismal reaction the show got with only 1 in 3 viewers finishing it. The only reason I can think of is firing them would've been a very public way of saying 'we hosed up' without actually admitting it and it they don't want that kind of publicity.

I applaud Comedy Central for this decision and another positive step forward would be rebranding itself as “Central” or “The Central Network.”

Watched Busting (1974) starring Elliot Gould and Robert Blake. The movie is ok, but interesting watch. A tad homophobic and very anti sex work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeTXt2Ac3og
