The early 3d video game style character in tonight's new Smiling Friends ( the rest of the season will be in May) was very disturbing. I like how the show experiments with animation, and puppetry in the three puppet remasters of season 1 episodes.

If I recall correctly it seemed like a lot of really distinct animation and designs came from Harry Partridge (also the son of Andy Partridge of XTC fame). At the least I'm pretty sure he's responsible for the Bakshi LOTR stuff among many things. His youtube channel has a lot of different of animation styles too and I probably watch Ghostbleed like once a month, lol.

Scooby Doo is politically progressive (ghosts are fake, often for profit) but a bad cartoon

Incredibly enough, in Scooby Doo all the ghosts and monsters are fake, all the hauntings end up being hoaxes, for all intents and purposes there are no supernatural ghouls, and yet Scooby Doo, a dog, can speak English

The third season of Righteous Gemstones fails on a basic narrative level. Episode 2 is great, the one that ends on "we, the three and you". It's so satisfying to see the siblings in a bind because their own character flaws drive off the deacons/assistant pastors. How will they recover? They'll recover by completely forgetting there was ever a problem. The rest of the season is a kidnapping/militia plot. The writers craft a great despicable character (Peter), a right-wing leader willing to sell out his compatriots. Peter is offered redemption through death, but lives and so negates any sacrifice. The producer had access to dirtbikes and was determined to use them. Kevin and Keefe's kiss was cathartic but their sudden self-reflection on tolerance was lame. "Gay male anti-pornography activists" is a great bit that could only exist in modern evangelicalism, and the writers throw it away in favor of across-the-board liberalism. I can't tell if the final celebratory scenes are satirical. The force-ghost Mom only confuses things.

I think Gemstones ran into the problem that lots of shows that are about laughing at bad people do if they last too long. Where the writers won’t really give them their comeuppance because that would end the show, but simultaneously people will get tired of seeing absolutely loathesome privileged and powerful people always win (the audience gets enough of that in real life hyuck). Yet both writers and audience have also gotten too attached to the characters (or more accurately the actors charisma) to want to see them all get their just desserts because it’ll be a downer. So the show starts writing them as who you should be rooting for who hold all the correct liberal consensus opinions, and that somehow the things that make them bad, are actually very good. Megachurches and now wholesome.

It's so satisfying to see the siblings in a bind because their own character flaws drive off the deacons/assistant pastors. How will they recover? Years ago Matt Christman pointed out that East Bound and Down was a good analogy for american protestantism since Kenny Powers goes through the whole series, succeeding little by little, but never actual grows as a person or learns anything at all. Everything works out in the end but he never had to change for it to happen. It's not surprising that they do the same thing with literal american protestants.

Funny as poo poo, really pacey and gorgeous. There was an old dude next to me at the cinema who kept expressing outrage every time someone did something dumb or took drugs and it honestly made the entire thing better. At one point he leaned over to me and offered me the rest of his Oreos. I declined, and then he turned back to his wife and said "I told you he doesn't want them!" loud enough for the entire cinema to hear. They should make that dude come to all the LLB screenings.

Funny as poo poo, really pacey and gorgeous. This reminds me of when I went to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 during a daytime screening and there was one other person in the cinema. There was a part where one of the grandparents was struggling with an iPad, and for whatever reason it really resonated with that one other person enough to prompt a loud "HA!" to echo from the darkness followed by a single clap. To this day I don't know if that was something you had to be Greek to appreciate because as far as I could tell it was just a product placement.

im saint germain posted:Fiona Dourif was really good in Dirk Gently. That character could’ve easily been played insufferable, but she crushed it Yup. Still surprised I enjoyed that show as much as I did. The first season anyway don't remember the second one Nichael posted:I'm not denying that she has Parks and Rec is still funny imo doesn't matter that Obamaist Thought failed or that it makes city bureaucrats look like fun-having heroes instead of dead-eyed number crunchers. At least the early seasons it's a situation a lot like American The Office or Friends where at a certain point it becomes too much of its own thing and collapses into itself

politics at times, but ultimately I think she is incredibly funny, and tends to be associated with productions that deliver on the basic premise of "be funny." I don't think her shows have aged nearly as badly as Parks & Rec, which is/was funny, but is unwatchable now because its prevailing ideology poo poo itself and died.

1st season of US Dirk Gently was a pretty good adaptation of Unknown Armies
