Shot themselves in the foot... all the way to the bank! They've had one of the most popular and profitable shows on television for eight years by keeping what works and not messing with the formula because they know their audience doesn't want to be challenged with too many new ideas.

Seriously, every show runner probably dreams of landing a show where the audience couldn't give less of a poo poo about anything other than the show being on and having new episodes.

So no.

It’s not. Even the biggest hacks don’t want that.

No one in this industry begrudges a steady check, otherwise The Simpsons would've been cancelled twenty years ago. You'd love to be creative but you'd also like to live in a house, I imagine.

The board room exec scene is hilariously gratuitous, it's like eight extra seconds of this poor guy getting absolutely wasted with an airplane machine gun.

It's brutal enough in the regular cut but in the extended cut it's definitely a joke, the guy is getting riddled with bullets for what seems like a full minute.

I wish Cosmatos had done more with the Rob Zombie stuff, i.e. when the cult catches sight of Mandy the first time and it does the 'last known photo' effect on her.

Groucho Marx, actually!

And based on "Raised Eyebrows" which was a biography written by a young guy who ended up being Groucho's de facto archivist in the last three years of his life. I think that's such a great angle and agree with you, I would love to see this made!

Groucho yes, sorry. I'm fascinated how that would turn out.

The streaming Balkanization continues: AT&T has announced it's going to launch a WarnerMedia streaming service, and they're going to let all of their content licenses (like HBO, TNT, TBS) lapse and revert so they'll be exclusive to it.

So if you want to watch The Wire on Amazon Prime, do it now.

I knew the media was incestuous but I wasn't even aware of half these connections.

Really starting to think the whole "ya we're netflix go ahead Mr. Director and make the movie you wanted to make with no studio notes or oversight" thing might be a mistake. Mute, Hold the Dark, and now Apostle. In every case the script is clearly miguided and needs rewrites, and you know a decent producer would've spotted these issues and maybe found a way to keep the interesting elements but made it work. But at Netflix, they just give them the money, and you can just FEEL the things going off the rails as you're watching

You know what, I really like that.

Gas, Grub and Ghosts on Amazon. I'm five minutes in and so far they've documented three gas station chains with their potato chips and flavored coffee. They're freakin out at a Wawa right now, but they're headed into Pennsylvania, so I think they're about to have their minds blown by a Sheetz.

Sheetz is like if they made a food court with "truck stop" as the theme.

I highly recommend the first 20 minutes of Extraordinary: The Stan Romanek Story if you want to see literally the most laughably fake "evidence" of aliens you've ever seen. I literally googled after 20 minutes because I thought it was actually a parody and not a real documentary.

We turned it off once the personal interviews started, because my googling had revealed the shocking twist ending: He was convicted of posession of a ridiculous amount of child pornography, which he claims was planted by aliens/the government. He also has admitted he faked "some" of his videos and photos.

You should watch it because it’s a great show and there are plenty of people who thought the ending was great. Just know that this is mainly a family drama wrapped in a ghost story. My favorite comparison of it is Six Feet Under crossed with the Shinning.

Six Feet Under already has ghosts in it.

Does anyone have any recommendations along the lines of Dog Soldiers, Outpost, or Deathwatch? I tried googling but I can't think of an actual common name for this subgenre. I guess it started with Aliens, the first sort of "squad of badasses runs into something supernatural" and then got famous with Predator, but I'm really curious to see more like low-key late 90s early 2000s movies with this same framing.

I have exactly the movie for you: Alien Outpost. The recent DTV action flick Spectral is also exactly what you describe.
