Jojo's bizarre adventure is a great show if you like bizarre adventures.

It's a generational story about the jojos (all 8 of them) and their battle against many things, but mostly against DIO, Jonathan Joestar's adopted brother and rear end in a top hat supreme.



I started watching it recently because people here keep going on about it. It gets good after a while but the first episodes are some unbearable textbook anime poo poo.

Season 2 would also be good if it was just 10 hours of the nerdy friends doing theme songs for movies.

God, I would watch the gently caress out of that. It's like someone had an incredible idea for a webseries and then decided to pad it out with an awkward "romance" between the two worst characters.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

Part 1 is easily the weakest part of jojo. It's fairly predictable (especially since it was written in the mid 80s), and hamon is an asspull factory. Thankfully it's short and the following parts all improve on each other

Love is an evil show because it propogates the insane lie that below-average whiny idiots can end up with the hottest mess who ever messed. It's a Judd Apatow dork fantasy and I hate it and have to marathon it just to get it out of the way
recent judd apatow movies and tv shows are terrible pieces of personal wish fulfillment, but i guess he's under the radar enough to keep doing it without anyone saying so

that Always Sunny finale is the end of that show as we know it. it'll still be funny but it lost the appeal of "five assholes who never learn." also, possibly no more Dennis

I am sure I am not saying anything new by saying that The Expanse is excellent (I'm on episode 5 or so). But goddamn that one dude looks distractingly like Aaron Douglas from Battlestar Galactica.

All the very sad TVIV nerds are melting down over book spoilers, I guess the Game of Thrones in space comparison is really accurate.

My favorite spoiler fteakout will always be the time, on another forum, someone ate the equivalent of a permaban for mentioning that the Song of Ice and Fire books were fantasy novels in which magic happens, because that, you see, was a spoiler.

(My only real opinion about spoilers is don't be an rear end in a top hat. Unless it's funny.)

It took me most of the first season to get over the likeness. That dude is really good at playing a scary violent dude though.

Also The Expanse continues to own in the second season but now I've caught up with it and watching an episode a week is gonna suck.

He becomes extremely awesome as the show goes on. On the surface he's just a straight shooting, tough guy side character, but they made him into one of the most complex and interesting characters on the show.

Jesus loving Christ, I just started playing Call of Duty Infinite War since it came with the PS4 and I'd already finished The Last of Us. It's laughably "Earth = Good, Mars = Bad", and the Earth guys that actually want to go to war are the heroes fighting against the "stupid politicians" that hold them back. It's like the jingoistic toddler's version of The Expanse. I get the feeling that people that play this are the ones who thought that "American Sniper" was a pro-war movie.

There's a scene where you're walkin around "good guy headquarters" and the flags on the wall are USA, France, Germany, Canada, and Japan. I guess the Russians, Chinese and Indians (you know, the countries that actually have space programs) aren't invited to the heroes of Earth party.

The first "bad guy" Mars dude you meet has a Russian accent. The only reason I popped this into the console is that I figured I wouldnt be simulating a future war against people I have no desire to kill (as opposed to Modern Warfare). But nope.

The Expanse is a brilliant metaphor for Cold Wars in general & the third worlders who get caught in the crossfire, and the blurry lines between "revolutionary" and "terrorist"; Call of Duty Infinite War is a barely disguised version of "kill modern Russians, horah, America is #1, baby, gently caress poo poo up. We deserve all the oil, because of freedom."

Westworld is marxist as gently caress.

1. They're stuck in false consciousness
2. A revolutionary vanguard with awareness of their situation leads the fight
3. They wake up because of the contradictions in their system.
4. They're completely alienated labor
5. Ends in them siezing the park and the facilities for producing hosts (means of production)

YO. My dudes. The first episode of the second season of Animals. is the most ~:mason:Gnostic:mason:~ poo poo you'll see on tv this year. If it doesn't make you want to pack up all your poo poo and escape from civilization ala THX1138-style, then nothing else will.

Peaky Blinders is a cool show about gangsters in 1920s england. It's got Cillian Murphy and Sam Neill in it and three seasons out so far.
