smackfu posted:OTOH historically there have been a ton of cancelled TV shows with episodes that were just deleted. Less now than there used to be. There is a radio program from the 90’s that CBC made (Quinton Nickles) and they never released the final three episodes. I contacted CBC Radio to request they be released but they gave me the run around. If it’s made, why not release it?

Professor Shark posted:I know some people who are reality tv zombies. It’s so weird. At least in the case of my mom, she's very open about the fact that she thinks stuff like Sister Wives is nothing but a human trainwreck documentary and she hates just about everyone on that show. Its just that mocking something you hate, and participating in that mockery with others/by listening to others mock it, is often a drug in and of itself. I think she spends more time watching youtube videos of people bashing that show than she does watching the actual show. Which, you know, I'd feel kinda hypocritical for holding that against her since the biggest attraction on BSS for years was the CAD Mock Thread.

CelticPredator posted:weird movies no one wanted sometimes kick a whole lotta rear end. To say I wouldn’t care is a bit too much. I didn’t know it existed but I would’ve been interested knowing that Gunn co-wrote it and it starred John Cena Yeah Gunn co-writing, and John Cena staring are to to pretty big positives as The suicide squad/Peacemaker were great, and honestly Coyote Vs ACME just sounds like a concept that could work. Not saying I think it would of been an all time classic or anything, but sounded like it could of been pretty fun. Obvious poo poo like the flash getting shown that sounded like an utter bomb from the start, just adds salt in the wound. At a certain points it seems like WB wants to die.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:From a financial aspect of it, those movies could be dumped with little marketing and expected to make some money back on dvd rentals/sales and streaming rights. Now stores are abandoning physical media and the streaming bubble has popped so box office is really the only revenue stream to rely on anymore. Lol, remember A24 is making Hazbin Hotel. Might well be that they see all their competition trying to kill itself or choking on its own poo poo like Disney and realise there's an opportunity to step in and actually make poo poo that people want when the other big names are refusing to.

Pirate Jet posted:Alright look I think Coyote vs Acme should be released because everyone’s work should be seen and gently caress Zaslav and all that but let’s be real: nobody would care about it if it wasn’t for this. Looney Tunes haven’t been a box office draw in decades. Zaslav wants to can this movie because it was approved and funded under a previous WB administration, he doesn’t think it would do well in theaters, and it’s an instant payout in the form of a tax credit for a movie he didn’t even drop the money on to make. Because Looney Tune movies have been poo poo for a long time. This one seems to be actually good. It also has Jame Gunn's name behind it. David Zaslav has also has made it very clear that he thinks animation doesn't belong on Max. I mean the no credit for it thing also applies, but that is the default. You seem to think its always about money with CEOs, but that isn't the case especially since there will be no consequences for their gently caress-ups.

So when are they going to come out with "The Predators" just to complete their confusing naming scheme? Oh I guess they'd also need "Predators 2" and "the Predators 2".

Grendels Dad posted:Yeah that's my main gripe with the movie too. And it's apparently a Thing they keep wanting to do in movies since The Predator had another super duper guy. In the novels and comics whenever predators fought it was due to disagreements in honor or something. Which I think is a lot better than a race war. I like the concept of predators who modify themselves to be super insane but the film didn’t really push that concept hard enough. Should’ve shown it too be honest.

Plus Richard Horvitz playing a weird, complicated little character who screams a lot. Uh, maybe you should revisit Helluva Boss? Seems like you memoryholed some bits. I wandered into Hazbin because it was on Prime, knowing nothing about it previously. Watched the first few eps that were out because I was bored & sick, thought it was neat enough to bother a cursory googling, and found Helluva Boss that way. HB definitely has a ton of musical numbers; maybe as much as Hazbin? Either way, close enough that I didn't notice an appreciable difference watching pretty much the entire show the day after I watched the first eps of Hazbin. Tonally, they're pretty close as well, but with HB having possibly a bit more cussing, and absolutely more room to breathe with its pacing, the latter not being a shock since it's an independent production released on whatever the gently caress schedule they feel like across as many episodes as they want/are able to make via YouTube versus a studio-backed streaming platform product. They're both broadly about messed up people/demons/whatever working through generational trauma. Hazbin definitely feels weaker between the two to me after having finished the first season, but more because of pacing and episode count than anything else.

Drunkboxer posted:What you don’t find cosmetic surgery consultations entertaining? Its fun reading about the really bizarre ones where you can tell nobody was at the wheel. Like the one where they made a bunch of American women think they were dating Prince Harry or the one about having to pick your biological father out of a group of fakes or the one about which family could be more racist to their neighbors. The Prince Harry one is especially weird because it later came out that none of the women were originally told that was going to be the premise of the show and that it was supposed to just be a regular dating show.

Genuinely, thank you for telling me. Honestly happy to help. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked them as much as I did. I'm not hardcore theater-kid levels of into musicals, or super into animation, or whatever else I initially thought the target demo was intended to be, so I'm just happy I gave Hazbin a shot. Looking forward to seeing where it goes and keeping up with HB once its new episodes start up again, too. Hopefully, since Hazbin looks like it's doing well on Prime, they'll get a higher episode count for season 2 and can address the pacing some.
