Binary Logic posted:Has anyone ever referenced him? eg, "I want to get in Andolov's head. Really crawl in there and see what he's thinking. Like Craig Schwartz in Being John Malkovich" Have these random, oddly very specific pop culture references always been part of the show and I'm just only noticing them this season, or have they just been cranked up to 11 this particular season or the last few? I find myself just cringing at every single one of them because they're all so loving forced, random and terribly written. What I hate is how specific they are (Like I get the reference if it was about "the guy in Being John Malkovich", but going so specifically as to naming the character, Craig Schwartz, with his full first and last name? Seems so bizzarely specific that no one even as wittily Sorkin-written as these guys are would know ). It also feels constant now too, like every conversation must have one, over the top reference I don't mind the pop culture metaphors and references but when they make it sound so forced and for characters that would never know those references it really just jars me out of a usually interesting and gripping drama. It's actually taking me to the point of maybe getting out of the show entirely. Like, the ones that quote movies or whatever are fine and normal, or "it's chickentown" is fine, or throwing in some impressions but some of these are just written like a wikipedia citation Oysters Autobio fucked around with this message at 05:00 on May 8, 2019 |
