Shades of “Sorry to Bother You” too

Kinda ironic that Apple is putting that show out. Given that they’re either #2 or #3 company that would implement something like that (behind Facebook, of course).

I have literally just this second realized that he’s supposed to be doing a New York accent.

oh i’m very excited to see what people who are young now have to say about it in the future, but yeah i don’t care about judd apatow’s take on it right now.

it’s still so crazy to me that the only reason miles morales exists is because donald glover wanted to play spider-man.

“...Smith’s titular South Philadelphia...”

I don’t care what genre it is, I have no interest in any movies or TV shows about COVID. I’m not sure what possible insight is available there that isn’t clear to us as we actually live through it. Maybe the people of fifty years from now might get something out of it.

Is it me, or has there seemed to be an unusual abundance of TV shows about world-destroying plagues based on comics/books in the last couple of years? ‘Sweet Tooth’, ‘Utopia’, ‘Y: The Last Man’, ‘Station Eleven’. Obviously, these are properties pre-dating the real life plague, but I don’t remember a bunch of shows…

Wild that in all this talk about animation there’s still no mention of the director shift to Joaquim Dos Santos, the guy responsible for this:

Eh not really the same thing IMO. Y had a cast announced in mid-2018 and took so long to get made that half of that cast dropped out and was replaced. Y didn’t start filming until almost two years later. Cowboy Bebop had its cast announced in April 2019 and started filming three months later.

I remember hearing this show was in development like 4-5 years ago and reading a few updates a year on it since. Kind of crazy to see something take so long to finally get made and then get cancelled so unceremoniously.

Yeah, he would have been great as King Robert, because he is always great, but they were supposed to be contemporaries and he doesn’t look like Sean Bean’s contemporary.

I am not sure I would have bought that Brian Cox and Sean Bean grew up together.  

Like a lot of the recent DC movies, removing any shared universe and freeing creatives to go completely wildly has been a great decision. Watchmen and doom patrol are masterpieces and peacemaker is off to a perfect start. 

It’s likely a combination of factors: most millennials (like myself) grew up in the VHS era and so that aesthetic immediately invokes a sense of nostalgia that can then be warped into horror. VHS also has a bunch of inherent quirks (namely analog distortions) that play well with supernatural tropes. The only thing…

Paper Boi already had a pretty harrowing experience with that ep in the woods, can the guy just get a break?

God I love this show, can’t wait for another season.

10 year sitcom that was one of the most popular of all time, yes. Well known. 🙄 But I acknowledge your coolness for being above it all.

There’s an episode later in the show’s run where Barney literally throws women into the trash after having sex with them.

I loved and still love this show, but there is SO much of this show that has not aged well in just 10 years. Like, today, “The Naked Man” doesn’t ever make it out of the writer’s room, and the writer who pitched it probably gets fired.

so if this gets canceled after five episodes they’ll just throw in a voiceover “It was clearly Jesse!” at the end.
