Dude appears to have no face tattoos, which basically makes him the Pat Robertson of SoundCloud rappers.

Well, from a pure market standpoint, it makes the corruption much more efficient, so can't really argue there.

They do, but it’s more like a series of sub-floors in an underground parking structure. Ground-level is the best you can hope for.

On a similar note, the show is WAY more fun to watch when condensed to an hour for E!/Comedy Central. The hit/miss ratio is far more tolerable when you aren’t bookending every miss (or musical performance) with set changes and two minutes of commercials.

Brah, you’re turtally right, critically divisive films suck, and so does any film studio that makes them. Wanna go watch Forrest Gump again? Titanic? You name it! Got’em both in my Man Cave.

The ladder sequence in first strike is one of the most brilliant things ever choreographed. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the level of detail that must go into such a thing.

Well, we’re talking about a cultural sensation in this case, so I don’t think it’s fair or reasonable to single out “the creators” as the ones with the problem. Things change. There doesn't always have to be a bad guy.

I had to reread that bit of editorializing, as I assumed it must be a continuation of the quote, and not some offhand, tangentially related rant about aging.

FDR tried waaaay less; he put forth just a few more justices, and it ruined him politically.

Is that a sexual thing? Having him shaved over top of your dead body?

It seems clearly in effect here. These folks weren’t bright enough to take this nonsense to it’s natural, sociopathic conclusion, ie., "I'm God."

And does he manage to murder them all?

“Different” meaning having nothing to do with comic book IP?

Well, I gotta admit, he does look almost as cool as my dad's friend Bruce does in his MAGA hat, and Bruce has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Rock of the 1950s, so yeah, Bruce is pretty cool.

They should’ve hired a more imposing actor, or gone in a different direction entirely in terms of character design. Isaac was an Easter Island statue come alive. He was covered in approximately 700lbs of makeup and padding, making it impossible to do anything but stand still and deliver monologues.

Disenchantment shouldn’t exist, period. No network would’ve given it a green light. Same for half of the prestige streaming shows of the past decade. The “problem” is that cable TV/streaming is full on into it’s 1970's-film-auteur movement; any reputable name(s) gets a contract.

[sigh] I still watch and enjoy a ton of new standup even now as a not-quite-old sack of crap, but it seems inevitable that a day will come that I no longer get anything. Watching those first seasons of SNL...Yeesh. Sure, a great sketch or two every episode, but it really reinforces the sense that most comedy is generat

Don’t be so miasmic, bro.

Workman like is a great word. The protagonist was hella boring and many of the big twists were obvious a mile off. I suppose given the fun premise, an adaptation had the potential to best the source material.

The portrayal of future inner city minorities as overly made-up rabid animals was basically foundational to the majority of scifi from 1985-1995.
