mobby_6kl posted:Has anyone watched Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams? Apparently it's been out in UK for a while but I haven't heard anything about it until today. Pretty big fan of Dick so hopefully it doesn't suck. I don't think it's actually done running in the UK yet. It's kinda... there, like the episodes are decent and well shot and technically proficient but I have no desire to rewatch them. They remind me of middle-of-the-road episodes of '90s Outer Limits.

I, too, can't think of a single reason why someone would be reluctant to speak out about abuse where Scientology is involved.

STAC Goat posted:So does Riverdale have magic and poo poo? I can't figure that show out at all from the trailers and commercials. Most of the time it just looks like the OC or something but it seems to actively market itself as something way weirder. Although maybe that's because almost everything else on CW has superheroes, ghosts, and zombies so they just try and make it look like it fits. It's not really much beyond your standard CW angsty pretty teen drama, except the characters are named after and act vaguely like Archie characters.

bring back old gbs posted:You can read super gross poo poo about Danny Masterson and scientology covering up for his sexual assaults on CDAN. The stories go back years. At this point if you're a member of the church and he decides he wants your wife/daughter you have literally zero recourse and will be kicked out of the church (losing your entire social circle and gaining an army of harassers) if you make a peep about it. Sounds terrifying, but he's got that 70's show syndication money so he's royalty. Wasn't his brother the older brother in Malcolm in the Middle? Is he equally as much of a piece of poo poo?

Ugly In The Morning posted:And as far as Scientology goes, I feel bad for Beck. He's the rare second-generation scientologist, I really can't blame him for being wrapped up in some of that poo poo. Beck doesn't really rep scientology or anything though, does he? I thought he was only a scientologist so far as he was born into it.

Wheat Loaf posted:I saw that stuff where John Oliver was taking Dustin Hoffman to task about harassment claims against him. It made for interesting viewing. However, why do I still think John Oliver is an insufferable prat even when he's in the right? I'm curious as to what people who post this would like to see different to make them happy.

MarcusSA posted:Is there a thread for the various TV streaming apps such as PSVue and the like? I could have sworn there was one but I just can't find it. I think there WAS at one point, but probably not anymore. FWIW I've tried PSVue and Sling and didn't feel that either of them were worth it, especially after PSVue lost all the Viacom stations and jacked up their prices.

The channel I watch in the morning before work has had a different lovely Lifetime / Hallmark Christmas movie every day this month. These movies could easily be mistaken for one another, they mostly don't even have different sets or actors for the most part. There's also a series about a dog who "saves" various holidays, or sometimes the same one over and over - in three different movies the dog saves "Christmas", "Christmas Vacation", and "The Holidays." (In non-Christmas contexts, that same dog has saved Easter, Halloween, and the entire season of Summer.) I wouldn't be surprised if they rent out a ski resort or something in some lovely small Vermont town for a couple of months and bang out like 30 movies, sometimes they'll bring in Dean Cain when his boss at craft services lets him have a couple days off. raditts fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Dec 12, 2017 |

I had no idea Spurlock had even done anything new in like several years, I didn't know he was significant enough for anyone to get this upset about him.

I don't think I saw it mentioned, but seems that one of the hosts of lovely GBBO facsimile "The Great American Baking Show" has joined the ranks of the Disgraced Sex Predators of 2017, so the show has been cancelled and all knowledge of it disavowed by ABC. It's just as well, I saw the first episode last week and it was unwatchable poo poo. I'll hold out for the Christmas special of the real show.

feedmyleg posted:That Harmon video just made me feel like he's Kevin Smith For People Who Consider Themselves Smart. that... actually sums harmon up really, really well Timby posted:Harmon being an insufferable, self-righteous tool is pretty well-known at this point, considering it got him fired from Community and it's caused some issues with Rick & Morty's production (to say nothing of how the staff on the latter show were abused). I still don't think he's realized that Rick Sanchez is a pretty direct parody of him. my favorite Harmon Got Fired story is when he worked on the Sarah Silverman Program and staged a "they go or I go" ultimatum against Sarah Silverman Cithen posted:oh, god... 'A Christmas Story: Live' is an abomination. Who thought this was a good idea?

IRQ posted:He just did what must have been a bit from his standup routine about how being a father is waaaaaay harder than being a mother because you have to play with your kid after work. Like on a scale from 0 to Martin Lawrence, where would you rank it Josh Lyman posted:Based on the interview, The Rock, as a producer on the movie, decided to give his character a smolder. If it's ineffective in the movie, then okay, the joke works. But in the interview, it was brought up as something actually sexy and that's all we have to go on. this is some weird hate boner you've got going on for The "Dwayne Johnson" Rock, but this is neither his first movie with Kevin Hart nor is Baywatch the first bomb he's been in by far so... probably not? raditts fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Dec 20, 2017 |

IRQ posted:Two is real bad, but keep going and you won't regret it. 2F2F is worth it for EJECTO SEATO I thought Tokyo Drift was the worst one myself, although I enjoy the idea of the time travel shenanigans required to make it plausible to be the 6th movie chronologically. The series as a whole gets a lot better once it stops trying to take itself seriously and realizes "these are action movies where we have cars instead of stuntmen." Which is strange that it took so long considering the first movie is Point Break But Cars Instead of Surfboards. raditts fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Dec 22, 2017 |

nate fisher posted:Raid 2, while it is slower at times, has better action scenes overall. If I had to pick a favorite I would go with Raid 2. Raid 2 is way longer than it needs to be because those action scenes are in between long, boring stretches of gobbledygook plot. nate fisher posted:Just curious which one do you find a better 'gun play' move, John Wick or Equilibrium?

Snak posted:Food call. Way better than John Wick 2. Which was bad. Yeah, John Wick 2 wasn't great, mainly because they took the hidden underground assassin world, a concept that is neat but doesn't really hold up if you think about it too much, and expanded on it to the absurd degree that pretty much every resident of New York City is an assassin but they're apparently all trying to keep it secret from one another.

🔥hot take:🔥 Seinfeld would be a 100% better show without Seinfeld in it Davros1 posted:The difference between Sunny and Friends, is while both group are awful people, is that Sunny doesn't want us to root for them, to see them succeed. The Friends group are awful people, but we're still supposed to admire and support them.

bring back old gbs posted:It's really weird it exists, but enough people watch laugh track shows on Netflix, so it tripped their RatingsBot algorithm, so one of their ProducerBots greenlit the series. The machine-generated Scrubs script could plausibly pass for an episode of Scrubs. Calaveron posted:Man I’m still fuming over the single episode of the ranch I watched. I mean there’s a scene where Sam Elliot and a lady were having HEE-larious dialogue while Danny Masterson and Ashton Kutcher are just frittering away on their cellphones to the side and all I’m thinking is I am 100% sure they’re for real looking stuff up on their phones because what self respecting actor can possibly expend any effort on this garbage Well, people finally realized at some point that neither of them are very good actors, so they've gotta take what they can get. Sam Elliot is in it though? I guess my theory that he can elevate the worst poo poo to at least the level of "watchable" has finally been shattered. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:22 on Dec 29, 2017 |

There isn't any serialization right, so I can just dive in with the new season? If you watched Twilight Zone and thought to yourself "man this is way too subtle" then Black MIrror is the show for you
