the stand up segments of Seinfeld were always the worst. he was a middling to intermediate comic at best. The show? awesomeness.

sssssooo... season 7 of xfiles (i had never seen that one) seemed to be jumping the shark, and so i paused my hulu subscription to continue in some other year, when i need the narcotic again (maybe).

yes yes, i'll be missing "the great" for now, but it's not like i can't wait ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

meanwhile i think amazon should have enough sleeping aids included in the price.

Rob Instigator · 12.13.2021, 02:43 PM

xfiles was cool for a season, then it shot itself in the foot, becuase it could never actually FIND anything or else the whole premise would be lost (that of an ugly fucker who "believes" in extraparanormal shit instead of falling in love with Scully)

Guys wtf is wrong with the movie thread? It simply refuses to load my post about The Power of the Dog, but when I try to quote someone else, I see like 12 versions of my Power of the Dog post. Then of course I can’t quote someone else — or more likely my quote goes into the ether with the rest of my recent attempts to say, “I SAW FUCKING POWER OF THE DOG AND IT WAS GOOD.”

Cool, good stuff.

I’m watching the Wheel of Time show on Amazon Prime, but man is it bad.

hahaha! yeah... to a point. scully is also irritating because after having repeatedly found and seen and experienced all manner of weird shit she still can't help being a doubting thomas, which--at an eventual point just defies the logical consistency of the story.

i liked the first 6 seasons though. might trudge through the rest maybe eventually some day.

Season 1 is pretty good. First episode’s directed by Martin Scorcese. Worth seeing. Also some of that stuff plays a role later on in the series.

This triggers my morals.

Agents of SHIELD, season 6
recorded the season from tV and watching it all in one go, or two go's possibly three, whatever during the xmas holidays
Except for episode 4 dammit because it had recorded episode 4 of the previous season

the writing of this series is so bizarrely stupid that you just have to watch it to see what they're going to think up next.
Dude dies and then is revived by traveling through the past
Other dude dies and then in the next season returns as the reincarnation of some bad guy villain

Lmao yeah it’s very very silly, just basically rule #1 is that there must always be a Coulson, some Coulson.
I don’t even remember which season this is. The Sarge season? Lol. Think it gets decent later on but honestly I couldn’t say. Seasons 3-4 had some great episodes though

in what season was it that they turned a smart computer hacker into a dumbass person who makes stupid explosions with ther hand? i forget, but it was a long ongoing descent into meaninglessness with that show.

My wife said if she got sick of the endless storylines about the young ladies and nucky that I would MOST DEF fucking tune out.

So far we watched all of season 3. It's OK. I am enjoying it but, much like Sopranos, I can only give a fuck so much about hateful, bullshit criminal characters. I say fuck em all.

!@#$%! · 02.21.2022, 09:45 PM

got a month of hulu to catch up with "the great" and other stuff

a bit of cognitive dissonance to be laughing about farcical russians right now but what can one do lol

I had this on when I was extremely sick with what I now know was dangerously low hemoglobin from internal bleeding, in like May 2020 when it was impossible to get to a doctor. So my brain has associated it with piercing migraines, fatigue, thinking I was going to die, vomiting, and just barely being able to move.
Pretty negative association. Don’t think I’ll be able to finish it for a while now (gotta outlive the half-life of the conditioning).

Anyway, whatshisname from Fury Road who plays Peter? Just annoying as fuck in this. I know he’s supposed to be but sure he really, really is.

Severian · 02.22.2022, 07:33 AM

I’ve been watching Euphoria, which is so realistic in some ways and so cartoonishly over the top in others that it … kicks ass, to be honest.

Slowly crawling through Book of Boba Fett. Wtf is this thing?

I kind of stopped midway through Season 5. They had intriguing plots and good chemistry between characters for a while, but it got increasingly bloated, premise-wise. At some point it just seemed like anything is fair game with those characters. It was as if they drew whacky scenarios out of a hat and that's what they assigned for the protagonists for each season. And at some point you're like - wait, was her kinda, sorta infatuation with Ward before or after she was basically a destroyer of worlds? Oh and yeah, at some point his body got possessed by an alien entity that gave birth to an occult social-darwinist movement that was kind of a predecessor of the Nazis, but then again not and more of that, and everything, really. Everyone is everything in that show. And everyone is nothing at the same time. It's tiresome. Hard to get emotionally invested after some time. It's as if they tried to translate the shenanigans of irreverent satirical cartoons to a live action show, but sucked out most of the satire and took it seriously, actually. Oof.
