Vaguely concerned and serious about whatever the hell is going on in the middle distance is how I live my life!
My first thought. You mean the broadcast network producers weren’t interested in getting wildly experimental with the formulaic, family-friendly sitcom that was also like their highest rated comedy? Shocker.
Julia Robert’s can still have a part. She can play the plantation owner’s attractive wife who “isn’t like other southerners” that secretly helps them... and in the end Harriet looks up at the sky and smiles wistfully in gratitude to Mrs White Lady aka the real hero of the movie.
“Hey, instead of transcribing this interview, let’s just post it online as is. That way, everybody will still open the page, but fewer people will enjoy the content”
“Diabolic! Make it so”
I know it wasn’t your intention, but you really made me miss this show.
Wait, there’s a SOUTH Dakota?
I don’t think Cabin in the Woods is smart in a high intelligence sence, but it is incredibly entertaining start to finish and does fun things with established horror movie tropes. Plus the cast is A+.
Oh damn completely forgot about Cabin in the Woods being this decade. Great call. Edge of Tomorrow was pretty fantastic too.
“Jason Mendoza didn’t have an easy life. He once told me the closest he’d ever gotten to having a piñata on his birthday was when a seagull ate too many condoms on the beach and exploded.”
I don’t actually want to be so monstrous as to insist that if you didn’t like a particular book (or even a particular style of book) you’re aesthetically wrong. And clearly there’s a profound gap between us; I started reading Moby Dick a few years after college with a kind of grudging idea that I should make myself rea…
I admit I have not read Hugo and therefore cannot honestly stand by his digressions, but I cannot abide the assault on Melville. Lots of ways to write a great book, but a lot of people only want one kind of thing, which I guess bums me out a bit. Prose can do so many fantastic things to your brain, but some folks only …
Saying that you like a show that you like wouldn’t have to be “dying on a hill” if people weren’t so keen to attack you for it. And this is why I’m happier only occasionally foraying into the margins of this conversation, only to realize again that I don’t really want to be in it.
It’s been a year or so and I’m still not sure if I enjoyed Maniac or not.
I hated most of the characters, its racist and dumbed down.. Homer is completely unlikeable
By the time Veep finished airing what they were trying to parody was beyond parody.
*stares pointedly at Game of Thrones*
You may not get the Simpsons but come on...in it’s prime it was comedy and culture changing.
So, um, I’m not a super-fan or anything, but goodness, your comment is really small minded.
You’re the same as them just with a different target to rile.
