Is True Detective considered a comic book show?

What does this mean? About as comic book as Fargo.

People have explained FAST to me before and the distinction, but I still can't grasp how "FAST" isn't just.... regular television. It's a channel that shows TV programs with ads. That's... that's just regular television! :psyduck:

Right, except you don't need an antenna or pay for cable.

Just, you know, Internet.

I think the main difference between television and FAST is that several jerks got paid to come up with an acronym.

It’s unlikely you’re paying for internet just to use FAST thought.

The Flash Gordon bits from the first movie made me cackle like a hyena and the second movie had Patrick Warburton and Michael Dorn mocking nerds dressed as the Tick and Worf, a giant fight at the nerdcon and calling Amanda Seyfreid Gollum (which I will never unsee). Neither movie was brilliant but I never thought they were THAT bad. Good to chill on the couch with in between other movies like Harold and Kumar, How High or Soul Plane. Definitely benefited from writers and Walberg elevating it.,

There are some truly wretched comedies out there tho. One older guy I work with recommended Porky’s and holy poo poo that movie is racist. Lasted about 10 minutes because… yeah.

Death To Smoochy still holds up.

Porky's? It's a classic but yeah, welcome to the 80s.
