I've started watching Mike Judge's satire of the tech startup/venture capital scene . So far it's been pretty meh, but as someone who works in the industry I have to say that he got some of the characters pretty spot on. |

i know. aaron sorkin: ![]() "i wrote the social network!" --- watching THE BORGIAS. that's the showtime version, not the german/french/czech.etc production. i think i liked the other one better, even though it was cheaper and had a lesser cast. the showtime version seems more bullshit, the other felt more complex and historically accurate. still, this one izzokay. |

Those "walk and talks" on West Wing are brilliantly directed. So many lines of dialogue and every actor has to be in the right place at the right time. Not to mention the pain in the ass lighting and camera moves.
If those some of those scenes were in a "film", nerds would pop boners and hail the director as a genius. |

The Larry Sanders Show (again... Girlfriend hadn't seen it).
Why did I have to stumble into this show? Why is this not one of those shows that I can't get people to shut up about, that everyone sites as amazing and revolutionary? All the time I wasted trying to get what all the fuss was about for a piece of shit like Community that I could have been watching this... |

I really don't think there has ever been another comedy that comes that close to perfection across 6 whole seasons.
Garry Shandling is the fucking man. |

I got all the episodes years ago, and I've watched them all at least a dozen times, probably a lot more.
You're right: there is not ONE bad or even not-that-good episode. Amazing. There are funny lines, of course, but the comedy for me comes from the characters. I totally get them; I probably AM some of them. I particularly love how the minor characters are fleshed out and develop over time. It isn't all about Larry, or even Larry, Hank and Artie. It's also about a dry, cynical show booker (Paula), an over-grown-child writer (Phil), an overworked assistant who's probably too good for Larry (Beverly). And Scott Thompson should've won a few awards for his brave performance. It's ultimately a show about values: What's the most important thing right now? And there is much comedy to be found when people choose wrong, usually due to their massive ego. |

![]() Treme Season 3 One disc in and I'm finally giving up on it. I wasn't hugely into the first two seasons but stuck with it because it always seemed on the cusp of being really interesting, but David Simon just seems too enamoured with New Orleans' music culture to offer any real insight about what's going on their socially. Frustrating because I really wanted to like it. |
