I clicked some article years ago and as a consequence I now get occasional updates of people from Sex in the City making GBS threads on the mean main character from sex in the city. I can tell there's a new sex in the city whenever I get an uptick in articles ragging on sjp. I watched the original one and hate it but it was never meant for me so what do I know besides what not to do if I'm ever a horny single woman living in way too big of a city. Only got pushed one article about Noth so I guess ragging on sjp is more click-effective. Brock Samson posted:Joe Gatto announces he is leaving Impractical Jokers https://www.instagram.com/p/CYLBnVXgrmn/ Gonna be weird as hell if they do a season without him. They already got more than 6 seasons and a movie so I'm sure they'll be relieved to step away in a sense.

I mean, getting to exist in the afterlife with the best version of your body isn't exactly unique to some christians. It would suck to live for eternity as a baby or with a nearly dying oldass body. The Bible itself is actually pretty mum on details for heaven so a lot of what people come to believe about heaven is cobbled together from interpretation of errant verses and a ton of fiction and art from over the years. Even in church you miight be told different things. One of the more common ones I was pitched as a kid was being in heaven wasn't really like "oh cool what a fun place to be with all the toys you'd ever want" kind of deal so much as a kind of eternal incomprehensible bliss existing in and with the glory of god, and like you wouldn't want or need to do anything because you'd just be more-than-max feeling good vibes straight from god forever. That's an abstract and possibly terrifying notion though and there are lines in the bible like quote:
Roundabout way to give the deets on resurrection cause I guess back then everyone was all "ew" thinking there'd be nasty zombies roamin' around like for the three days Jesus was dead and loving poo poo up in hell.

Good Place is my external rotation of lovely background sitcoms. I can't believe how much I went from hating the first season and rolling my eyes at the predictable end to it, but then giving season 2 a chance anyway and retroactively loving it all. I saw Recently Archive 81 is getting a Netflix show! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibxKEqxARkE The original is definitely worth a listen, hope they can pull it off in the show. First season II can think fairly straightforward to do, but season 2 poo poo gets wild and if the show does well enough to get there, some cool visuals in store. http://www.archive81.com/

Started Abbott Elementary and liked it so far, but the thing I cracked up most at so far in the Pilot was the principal doing an "i'm watching you" gesture, but instead of pointing at her eyes, the camera angle made it look like she was pointing at her nostrils so it became "I'm gonna smell you" gesture lolDC Murderverse posted:It’s not nearly as evil as the first one because in this one all of the contestants know what’s going on. This ends up both making it more palatable and less interesting. Evil? I barely remember the show outside the premise but seemed to me like the only ones really getting dunked would be the gold-diggers and I guess maybe the walking Jawline if he feels a connection but they just wanted his money, but he's in on it, right, so ain't buggin bout it. It's hard for me to register evil on this kind of show because it's even harder to register any of them as anything other than supremely, maximally trashy people who I generally think of as merely wanting to participate for the chance to be on TV or become some sort of peripheral medialing.

They should raise the stakes a little. One of the men should be so poor he is nearly starving to death, only agreeing to do the show because of the craft services table. If he gets chosen for love or whatever he gets to have a million dollars and become a real one-millionaire. The rich guy risks producers sharing the tweets and texts they scrubbed during a casting cancel-litmus background check.

Escobarbarian posted:This is so wildly reductive I don’t even know where to begin. Is it wrong though, Arist laid out what I think would be the charitable version of the same thing, and they both sound equally unsatisfying. Succession just seems like watching the news if you focused on some rich dweebs and idk, don't find it satisfying to just see the same thing but with charismatic actors and slightly fictionier situations. I want to see rich people decapitated by a guillotine managed by a mob of angry poors looking to radically redistribute wealth starting by eliminating those who would hoard too much by choice. Something to inspire people into action, not just throw your hands up while you stare directly into the void helplessly. Succession sounds identical to White Lotus, horrible people having pretty much nothing happen to them who go on to enjoy being happier and wealthier than any average person even after whatever supposedly "bad" thing happened to them to make us think their lives are shallow and empty failures or some poo poo. It's paper-thin way to try imply there's some cosmic balance "oh they may be rich but oh-ho actually they didn't quite everything they ever wanted and in fact, may be somewhat sad sometimes."

Arist posted:Why would they be punished? That's not how the world works. It's fiction they can make them turn into axolotls if they want. Escobarbarian posted:I guess some people are so sensitive to the current political climate that they can’t handle shows that deal with it in a not-overthrowing it way? It’s pretty baffling and childish to me, but there could be valid reasons I’m unaware of, like if they are or know someone who is directly suffering badly because of it. If you're alive and not in the upper class then you are in a lowers caste and directly suffer from it. There also aren't any shows handling anything in an "overthrowy" way, it's all the same bleak navel-fingering until they get real deep and unlock some stank and then everyone's sniffing it like "wow this does stink exactly as you always knew all along!" Really would actually love to see something overthrowy just for the novelty and fantasy of it as this point. Are there shows that deal with it in that way? Mu Zeta posted:I like seeing monsters on TV because of the acting and writing. These aren't documentaries they are funny and comedic shows. What happens when you see a David Fincher movie like Zodiac? Curl up into a ball with a bag of cheetos and cry for humanity? I like monsters too and monsters are more powerful when they always win and can't die I guess but is there a rule or something that it can never be funny if like jesus was stoning and crucifying people instead instead of just exactly what you expect forever all along happening? Just seems hard to get excited a Passion of the Christ if it's same old poo poo you saw in Acts and feels reasonable to be skeptical when people are fawning over Ascension when all indicators seems like it's the same old dog doing the same old trick with new faces. Can't throw us one bone, one billionaire called Elam Bust ran over by driverless car in a throwaway background joke, no? Khanstant fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Jan 8, 2022 |

Every Jesus movie ends with him getting his rear end kicked and running home like a bitch and yeah there's value in that and it's the point or whatever, but if everyone was acting like this new jesus joint was hot poo poo, something fresh, but actually it's just the same old raggedy shroud routine then you get to say that show sucks without watching it.

You season 3 was boring b/c he just slips through anything and dude's way overdue for an axing but they just keep giving him an asspull to do another one. It's not even like Dexter where you can comfortably delude yourself into being cool with it because he's only killing even worse dudes. He's a creep you hate from the getgo and feel gross being in his head and actively root for his downfall. The best part were the weird couple, their imprisonment had a lot of entertaining moments, I liked her playing the bff role even while captive and then also figuring out they would never trust each other to not have a hidden out stored in there. His mustache twirling "everything going exactly according to my plan" kind of final plan was really pushings things and I hope 4's the last for definitive dead/jail reasons. Data Graham posted:trolley thing I have not considered the question from the angle you're proposing and my first though is "would anyone buy that?" I definitely would not and the premise of that perspective seems to me to be about people wanting to dodge or absolve themselves unduly of responsibility. Especially in the context of The Good Place where there is a point accountability system and people are aware they flunked life. I suppose there are alternate takes on the premise but they seem like ones that should wind you up in the Bad Place and things some of these people got there in the first place for stuff like that. I think the natural thing for someone who would try and argue they can choose not to do anything and thus wash their hands clean of it to be a total horseshit excuse and you'd be like "gently caress you buddy, go to hell" and yeah he probably would as he should.

To Tell The Truth is my current TV dinner gameshow of choice. Most of the other gameshows I've seen past few years with a celeb host have been kind of bummers, they feel like they think they're too good to be there or they aren't great hosts or there's just something from them that drags the rest down to me. To Tell The Truth kind of feels like anthony anderson was like "either y'all put my mom on this show or I won't do it" and it worked. Unless the original also featured the hosts mom, it's a good gimmick. She's also the official "shut the gently caress up and show us your answer" person.

lmao at the unmelted cheese cross section shots with whatever hosed up cheese he's using sandwhich between barely toasted spaghetti bread. Kimchi wild but gently caress it, I'd try it. However generally speaking grilled cheese isn't a food you can improve with more expensive fancy ingredients, the less artisan the better. fuckin betty crocker butter from the brown tub slathered on a slice of the airiest one dollar white bread with american cheese, which literally only exists to be used in this one context.

I AM GRANDO posted:I’m really enjoying Archive 81 and I had no idea it was a podcast or adapted from anything. It’s nice and tense and has my favorite spooky sublime trope, stolen along with Bob’s approach over the couch from Twin Peaks. If it’s just ghosts and magic without any Lovecraft poo poo, I’ll be disappointed. I’m only halfway through, but I think it’s worth a watch. I'm so happy hearing these positive things about it from folks who'd never heard of the original. I haven't watched it yet but I fell in love with season 1 and 2 of the podcast years ago and always felt it's a story/world people could enjoy in other mediums, even though it was about sound in a way well-suited to the radio broadcast type. I don't wanna spoil and for the show I genuinely have no clue what or where they'll take things, but in the podcast season 1 was not a disappointment and season 2 I was kind of like "what are you gonna do now?" and they were like "hold my tapes, we ain't even got started yet."

Yeah, Beavis returning, whatever, pretty funny look forward to seeing those gross dipshits again. King of the Hill however manages to be a special shining star dealing with a type of folk and political bent that just doesn't exist in any wholesome or palatable way anymore. We got into an argument at work between some fellow hillfans over whether Hank would wear a maga hat and that was one of the most unpleasant uses of imagination I've ever experienced in a conversation. Cotton is charismatic, cheerful, pleasant social justice warrior compared to the atmosphere of Texas today and I think that's good cause to be skeptical of a new King of the Hill. Simple rednecks shenanigans aren't as amusing when those rednecks are actively fighting to get people killed, remove their voting rights, put bounties on their heads, etc. Not that conservatives weren't up to evil poo poo back then too, but now the mask is off and the emperor palpatine robes fully on. I think Mike Judge could sharpen his teeth to say something of it, in theory, but I'm not gonna believe that'll happen for a second while it's all owned by fuckin Disney.

Somebody here the other day made some weird comments about Atlanta having too many straight men or something whatever their comment was made no sense to me but I also couldn't articulate why, so I went back and watched it again. Or some of it first time maybe, I really spaced out first watch it seems. The goober comment that prompted it still makes zero sense to me but drat what a fantastic show, thanks weird comment, probably wouldn't have re-watched if not for you.

Started watching Blackish mostly b/c Anthony Anderson kept mentioning it on To Tell The Truth and like it's not a bad show but anytime Anthony narrates anything he has the exact same host-cadence as on To Tell The Truth. He'll be laying out something, premise of the scene or whatever topic they're on... but it sounds exactly like you're waiting for him to read some terrible pun, pause, point it out, then continue. He's great host and vocal narrator for a gameshow, but having heard it first for so many seasons, his voice in Blackish sticks out because I keep waiting for corny puns and wordplay that never comes. The bossy friend from Girlfriends is the mom in Blackish and she does great there, I remember sort of not liking her character on Girlfriends as a teen but she's won me back over.

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, and there's no way the show follows the podcast's second season, should it even get renewed. which is a shame because I think that's when they took their great foundation and went into overdrive. For me season 2 was like "no way they top the first one, should I even bother with this" to "hot drat, season 1 was barely a warm-up." I think I'll relisten to podcast and catch season 3 after I watch the show.

Even though it was maybe a dozen or so out of 200 episodes, it was enough to set it apart from other similar sitcoms. Any of these outliers come to mind?
