I have no special adoration for Bebop but the Netflix version was mostly so loving bad. I will never for as long as I live be able to forget the cringe I felt when “welcome to the ouch motherfuckers!!!!” happened

I wanted to like the new Artful Dodger series. I am doing fine but could also use a relaxing show. Unfortunately, Brodi-Sangster did not show up in the way I wanted for all the time I could stand watching. Which was a shame because the aristocrat's daughter is played kinda well despite being the trope of being an out of control wild woman (i.e. a nerd who likes science experiments as much as she likes pretty dresses although she also really likes dresses) that is too rich and powerful for anybody to say anything therefore explaining why it isn't a big deal. Don't watch it. Or do, since the reviews are excellent apparently? In any case read Dodger by Terry Pratchett. It's written when he was nearing the end of his struggle with Alzheimer's but the only way this shows is in how he seemed to confuse the ostensible YA book he was writing for satirical adult humour throughout. R.I.P. Sir Terry.

Say what you will about the Cowboy Bebop adaptation, but I love it. Because I finally went and watched the original after I saw 1 episode, and everyone said it was total poo poo. And the original is exactly as good as people were saying for 20 years or whatever, oops.

The Cowboy Bebop adaptation was cool and kinda weird and could have been incredible but we'll never know because the world of TV on streaming platforms is such that you have to create perfection that gets massive engagement within your first season of 8 episodes or you get the axe. It sucks.

The antagonist is just overpowered like if it were a Jason Statham movie (eww) but he was the villain. Kind of like the murderous clown from the series. Except in this film unlike most where this is the case and the protagonists find some secret to defeating him, here they just kind of have to keep trying until they luck out and "win".

The best thing about it (found the central plot to be a bit unengaging compared to the show, reminded me of the Jupiter jazz arc which is my least fav part of the original run) is that it does an amazing job showing how ordinary people live in that hosed up universe, a sci fi dystopia that feels way more realistic than Star Trek. And the nearly god like animation and fights.

I've been watching After Midnight, and it's getting better every night. Taylor Tomlinson is getting more comfortable, and they're figuring out what the show is, the comedians included. I'm not gonna say it's quite there yet, but I'm laughing.

zoux posted:Daniel Dae Kim is insanely jacked It drives me crazy that they keep doing cartoons that are difficult or pointless to adapt, and ignoring very popular cartoons that would work super well as live action American series. A Netflix Girls und Panzer would basically be Drumline but with tank combat instead of drumming. It would translate perfectly well for American audiences, and the big budget live-action tank combat scenes would be an actual value add to the series. They just don't have the vision.

Another good episode of Death and Other Details, things are getting a bit twisty and I just hope they don't stretch things out too much to cover the 10 episode length. I did like the security guy's book collection, made me wonder if there was a Continental Op/Red Harvest thing going on, but this isn't that kind of story. Open Source Idiom posted:Death And Other Details There's definitely a lot more going on there and they keep reinforcing it at the introduction of each episode. I'm probably going to do a mini-binge of the openings if/when they stop using that intro to see if I can catch the differences.

I feel like Cowboy Bebop is, at least theoretically, easier to adapt than a manga that heavily involves tank combat

Yean, I give it a month or so to actually find its way. The best epsiode so far was with Paul F Thompkins, but that was him with Aparna Nancharla and Carl Tartt. That lineup could make anything funny. Pacing is definitely an issue, and the CBS censor is pretty heavy handed. Going to watch the Doug Benson episode later today, which is pretty likely to be good.

I also assume that, after the Max Greenfield episode, they'll hesitate to get non-comedian actors on again. He seemed so lost, and genuinely happy when he was cut. Like, the guy had no idea what he was doing, and his funniest bits were when he leaned in on ruining the segment.

My theory is that he showed up thinking it was just the late night talk show and not an improv game show and just rolled with it as well as he could. Like his agent told him he was on after Colbert to plug his new show, and that was it. Also, it was deffo last minute, the clip they used to promote his shown didn't even have him in it!! swickles fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jan 24, 2024 |

This episode of The Little House on the Prairie had Laura adopt a baby raccoon as a pet and named it Jasper. While at church, it got into the hen house, made his way into the Ingalls house, and knocked over everything on the stove, then he bit her and her dog and ran off. Then a raccoon came home rabid, so the dad killed it, tied up the family dog in the barn, and waited more than a week while monitoring whether the dog turned rabid. The rabid raccoon turned out to be a different raccoon from Jasper. Jasper came home, doing one of the tricks Laura taught him, so the episode ended with relief that Laura was all right. They never said what they planned on doing with Jasper. If they take him out to the woods, he might come back with rabies, too.
