HookShot posted:You had to come to it from a British royalty question and not a geography question. The only king of England who's been executed was Charles I, and his son was Charles II, so it had to be them, and from there you figure out the only two states named for Charles (the latin form of which is Carolus) See, that's what threw me, because there's actually three states named for Charles I and his sons: North Carolina, South Carolina, and New York, which was named for James II, who was at that time the Duke of York. So technically, per the wording, you could have answered either Carolina and New York and still been correct (one state honoring the king and one honoring his executed father), and i couldn't figure out which ones they wanted. But then everyone guessed Georgia instead.

It's also very anglocentric; the language of the prompts often contains some subtle clue to the answer based on phrasing or unusual word choice that would be totally lost if you weren't an idiomatic English speaker. Like i can't imagine trying to follow the logic chain from "Choreographer Eliot Feld turned the music of Johann Strauss Jr. into these “dotty” dances" to "Polka Dot" to "Polka" if you weren't a native speaker.

Spokes posted:if you look at any local news story or whatever on facebook about it like 70% of the comments are super supportive of richards. i think there's definitely some amount of manufactured support but...it can't be *this* much, right? He was my Dad's 2nd favorite, after Aaron Rogers, for what it's worth. I thought he was more or less tolerable as a host but the obviously manufactured nature of his whole bid for the program really pissed me off. "Oh my! a guest host has dropped out! How fortunate that I, the person who schedules the guest slots, just happens to be capable of subbing in." "Oh, a shot at permanent hosting? Who could have seen that coming? Certainly not me!" It's loving gaslighting.

Yeah if you're going for the least controversial host at this point it's definitely Jennings. I thought he did a great job, but honestly I thought most of them did a perfectly acceptable job by the third taping or so.

RaspberrySea posted:Was Richards around for James' run or just the GOAT? Holzhauer's initial run was April to June 2019. Mike Richards was selected to be EP for Jeopardy in August 2019 but didn't officially start the job until the 2020 season, so the only interactions would have been the GOAT and maybe the Tournament of Champions, depending on filming dates and if you assume Richards did some work behind the scenes during the transition. EDIT: Looking at the article, I just now realized that Mike Richards is also the rear end in a top hat producer from the Price is Right documentary "Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much" who fired Rob Dobkowitz and had Ted Slauson banned for life for being too good at the game. He's like the secret villain behind the entire game show industry. Old Kentucky Shark fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Sep 1, 2021 |

thrawn527 posted:Good lord, don't do this. I watched Cool World for the first time last year during quarantine. That might be the worst movie I've ever seen. It's just...yikes. The Folding Ideas channel did a youtube video on Ralph Bakshi recently where he pointed out that when Bakshi started animating as an independent filmmaker he never had enough money at any one time to film a movie all in one go, so he would only ever script and animate individual animated sequences and then eventually he would try to assemble whatever parts of a movie he had managed to put together into a cohesive whole. It's a technique that works fine for a surreal day-in-the-life movie like Fritz the Cat, works somewhat on a movie with a preexisting narrative structure to act as a framework to like Lord of the Rings, and doesn't work at all in Cool World. Cool World absolutely feels like a movie that was haphazardly assembled like a Frankenstein monster from disconnected narrative threads. It makes no sense and is not fun.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:This article gets into it a little. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jeopardy-mike-richards-price-is-right-1235006082/ This is the part that always got me: quote:During Richards’ tenure, many lost benefits and paid hiatuses as Fremantle took greater control of the series. The enviable schedule in which five episodes were filmed over four days each week, with staffers getting Fridays off, was tabled as Richards mandated everyone to come in on Fridays even though it wasn’t a filming day. Because of course he was THAT boss. As soon as I heard that, I could believe he'd do anything.
