oh right; yes I did read that somewhere ...

you’re right, I’ve not seen the Leftovers; read some good stuff concerning the finale so I might investigate further - and good to hear another advocate for the Young Pope, will most definitely get on to that one...

This site has the biggest hard-on for the Good Place - I watched both series as a result of the positively *gushing* reviews, and while I like it a lot - and Darcy Carden is the absolute best - ultimately I didn’t quite get what the fuss was about. And the ‘16 new signs for restaurants’ thing ain’t really all that…

I agree, Dillane’s performance was one of my very favourites on GoT; I was totally bummed when Stannis was killed off.

thanks for the well-reasoned reply; I getcha - I don’t necessarily agree %100 but there is definitely a certain formula to Curb which plays out in various permutations - I’m fine with that though; the fun is in the details and the targets that Larry chooses ..

What does that actually mean? Are you talking about the Hollywood sex scandals? Something about Trump?

came hoping for a kind word for savvy cult hero Joe Ingles

fair-weather (assed) fans?

what’s Chris Martin doin’ on Modern Family? It’s *mental*

‘just shoot ‘em’ seems to be every US citizens answer to everything, ever.

I’m a little ashamed to admit that I let my young daughter watch youtube only semi-supervised for a period - it was actually my much older son who educated me on the perils of ‘Elsagate’ and associated youtube weirdness.

it’s so bad I’m not sure it even qualifies .. I suppose it does, in which case, you’re goddamned right, that song is shite.

The autism stuff was in no way offensive, nor ‘uncomfortable’, in my opinion.

I remember Simon Pegg got shitcanned a few years ago for bemoaning the unrelenting deluge of superhero films and sci-fi remakes/reboots (mainly because he himself had promoted and appeared in many such films).
To me he was spot-on though, despite his own compromised position: ‘infantilized by our own tastes’ was one of…

whoah, hang on - a *subversive* take on the superhero genre?

I watched maybe the first two season of TLMOE and it slowly squandered the goodwill it had bought from me in it’s opening couple of episodes ..

absolutely - the show’s very reputation was built upon character-Larry being an incorrigible asshole, and writer-Larry being fearless and unbeholden to the concerns of others ...

I don’t really agree, sorry; Larry’s always been a man concerned entirely with his own life and ease - Curb Larry is a multi-millionaire with too much time on his hands and living life in a bubble of his own design.

the bus is a very cold, unforgiving place ..

haha, touche, and also screw you for making me remember that song even exists.
