Gotta nuke something
For some reason we had TWO Flintstone Villages here in BC. Relatively close to each other as well. Loved wandering around Bedrock as a kid, checking out all the "tableau" they had built out of scenes from Bedrock life.

All that's left if this giant, moldering sign of Fred rotting in field in Kelowna:

They're gonna remake that Jenny video about driving cross country to get a giant spider but it's Mike driving cross country to get a shipping container full of Star Trek paraphernalia.

I want to know the story behind that 10-Forward play set. That's not something they ever sold, it has to be custom made. I wonder if the guy built it himself.

What is this a reference to?

In the mentioned Jenny video, she and her friends stop at a semi-abandoned Flintstones theme park, and some guy, unprompted, calls them fake fans who probably don't even like The Flintstones in the giftshop.

The Flintstones was a magnificent achievement in writing and animation. It was the first comedy ever made that contained no jokes.

Like really. Some loose nonsense plot would lurch from scene to scene, the prehistoric setting being completely incidental, while not even a vague attempt at a joke would be made. But the laugh track would just keep going incessantly. It’s almost surreal in just how awful it is.

It represented a time before the creation of human comedy, back when life was a constant struggle for survival and there was no joy to be had.

Was the person in the giftshop saying that the sales person, as that would explain why it's semi-abandoned. You know if theres more of an explnation need than it it's a flitstones theme park and the year is 2024.

You'd think it'd be niche, but RLM just put it out and it already among their top viewed videos. Turns out the internet just really wanted to see with Mike & Rich dressed as cavemen and Jay as a green alien.

I ended up watching Kevin Can gently caress Himself and quite enjoyed it. I never would have checked it out without the recommendation from Jay.

That said, it probably should just have been one season as the premise starts to wear a bit thin.

I showed the first episode to some friends the other day, and we agreed you could stop after the first episode, it tells the story completely and satisfactorily.

Cause it's Henry Sugar and Three More, they packaged it up with the other 3 short films (that I didn't know were already released until now) in to a single anthology film.

Anyway if you saw Henry Sugar but not the other three (like me!), here's your notification that they exist and you/I should watch them.

Netflix actually did a weird release schedule for those shorts. They released Henry Sugar on its own, then, a week later, released the next three films one at a time over three days.

I've just checked, and they're releasing it now as one video for some reason instead of just putting all four into one thing as four episodes. Absolute lunacy. Must be some contract shenanigans.

DUNC 2 was fun. Gorgeous, too. I think a lot of modern sci-fi ends up looking generic, lacking the memorable production design of stuff like Alien, Robocop and, yes, Star Wars, but D2 felt instantly iconic. Fucken wild costuming.

:actually: in the books it's 10,191 A.G. (after guild) because the spacing guild restarted the calendar when they formed a monopoly on space travel. The year 1 A.G. is roughly 13000 A.D. so Dune takes place 20+ millennia in the future

I've seen all the Kung Fu Panda movies. This one I think is the best. I used to think the third one was the best. This beats the third one. It's twice as good as the third one, which was twice as good as the second one, which was twice as good as the original. There's a pattern there, and it's a very good pattern, and that's why this is one of the top franchises going forward. And I think before you see the end of Po and the whole Kung Fu Panda gang you're going to see as many as a dozen movies in this series, and that's a very good thing.
