are you not aware of what sarcasm is? i mean, i realize i wasn’t exactly subtle in my original comment that it was a joke (i put the damn thing in quotes, ffs.)

or are you unaware that keyserroll is a troll who latches on to obvious jokes and needles people, switching positions as his brand of ‘humor’ demands?

well... that is even weirder then. i’m not sure how i feel morally about these dramatic re-imagining of recent true crimes, but at least something like the people v. oj seemed to limit their inventions to things like the exact dialogue between some people, not wholesale invention of events and people

you must be just the most fun at parties

its probably a bad sign when the show is based on two huge CYA memoirs- the FBI negotiator who managed to be at both ruby ridge and waco, but somehow is a passive bystander in the outcome of both and the cult member looking to justify to himself and the world as to how he got caught up in a doomsday cult

so ‘twisted jerk’ is the new phrasing for ‘a couple of teenagers and a half a case of bush light’?

i liked it well enough, but i wonder of some of it came from the reviews being so slanted against it. i went in expecting an almost rifftrax experience and instead got a slightly above average (although deeply goofy) action flick.

i once threatened to stab an applebee’s waitress in the lung with a fork to forestall the ‘happy birthday’ song. i regret nothing

i bought a big fancy TV, fancy devices to play HD stuff, a fancy fridge to keep my beer cold and a big fancy leather recliner to sit in. i even crawled around in the attic and installed some rear speakers for surround sound and ran all the AV wires behind the wall so it all looks nice and clean. i’m not going down to…

right- i meant random as in ‘he wasn’t one of the gang members who BL was fighting’ rather then ‘innocent bystander.’

Great piece of subtle physical comedy

yeah, its not clear how deadly his bolts are and comic book shows/movies often will play off something that would cripple a normal human (like, for example, getting electrocuted for several seconds, then thrown off a second floor balcony onto a car with such force that you shatter the windshield and crush the roof,…

there was one middle aged looking white guy who came running out of one of the rooms, holding his clothes in his hands. when he saw black lightning, he ran back in the room and BL just casually gave him a jolt.

gotham city is set in some sort of heightened reality world, unless they made significant changes since i stopped watching- in an early episode they had a serial killer who murdered people by attaching them to balloons.

its pretty clear when that is your baseline, you’re letting the audience know right up front that…

when the rest of the show was otherwise pretty restrained it stood out when they set this city up as twice as violent as chicago’s worst year in recent memory while also having a 3 way battle between heavily armed gangs, the police and the ferguson protests.

you can have credible and threatening gang violence without…

that certainly got off to an excellent start. i particularly thought the physical presence of black lightning worked- in his civilian role, he seemed to hunch down a little bit, like he was trying to minimize his actual size. when he was in his costume, he seemed to stand up straighter and throw his shoulders back,…

i would agree with you, except that this role she is taking is explicitly feminist and political and she has positioned herself as an ally. you can’t be an ally and also a strong adherent of a religion that positions women as lesser.

i’m a little uncomfortable with elizabeth moss being lauded for her role in handmaidens tale, while also being a very dedicated scientologist. i realize individuals should be judged on their own individual merits, but to me it was like the recent death of cardinal bernard law- i wouldn’t have advocated to throw the…

so does this explain why half of the posts these days are just screenshots of twitter comments that staffers found during their ‘writer time’?

good concept, poor implementation. not super shocked that they let it go- for better or worse, you need to hit the ground running these days even if that is particularly unfair to comedies.

The fentanyl seems to be solving the issue for us
