Fine list. I’d argue it’s too “zeitgeisty-recent-millenial” heavy, but time will fix that.

That being said, as much as I liked so many of the shows on the list, I had a weird reaction where I got all misty-eyed when I saw the words “Halt and Catch Fire”. Man, that fucking show got to me on some weird level that stuff…

No Boardwalk Empire???? No Downton???????

No Patriot? No letterkenny?

Yeah. I’ve used MCU cap to contrast/describe what Snyder got wrong many times. "Good guy" can be *very* interesting. Never understood the whole idea that the only thing interesting about a character are their conflicts and flaws.

Dunno why, but the first thing that popped into my head was Fallout 3...so I’ll go with that.

yES.

I read that as “Fergie”.

I like it better. From now on, any time a decision is made at Marvel, I am going to imagine Fergie did it.

Meh. Netflix and Amazon are putting out new stuff all the time, and there is a sort of cultural currency to catching a new show when it comes out to be a part of the MOMENT while people are having conversations about it.

TV is getting like music...there is SO MUCH that you are inevitably missing tons of good stuff, and don’t even really know where to look for the things you might like until years later when you say some shit like:”I wish there were more bands like Sabbath” and one of your friends turns you on to 20 of them that you…

I kind of miss the “he’s-a-good-guy-but-occasionally-says-something-embarrassing-because-he-was-born-in-the-1920's” thing the comic had going on. I understand that would be a tougher sell, especially in today’s political climate, but it was a fun take.

The movies are more like 1960's Cap~just the living embodiment of…

Yeah. In general, the things that are different, I don’t miss.

Something about the art in the Ultimates though...it looked like it was stills from a movie already.

I was oversimplifying to make a point that Scorsese rarely gets out of his comfort zone...even a lot of the movies you posted have stock Scorsese mobsters in them. Like, The Departed moved the locale a couple hundred miles, but it’s pretty typical Scorsese mob shit. Cape Fear is not, but DeNiro pops up playing a…

In the early 2000's I had a friend who worked at a studio, essentially reading comics and books looking for IP. She asked me (as a comics fan) if I’d seen anything that would work. I told her:”YEAH. JUST DO THIS COMIC: THE ULTIMATES AS IT IS ON THE PAGE.”

She was all like:”Um, yeah. That’d be great, but those…

I understand what Scorsese is saying and I love his oeuvre, but, man, he’s not the most imaginative film-maker. Take away Italians and New York and what’s he got, 4 movies? (Hugo, Alice...was Departed Boston?)

He’s worked squarely in his comfort zone for 45 years...I’d LOVE to see him sort of put his money where his…

So...you haven’t watched Letterkenny?

I was surprised to see no mention of BWOW.

Whis the best “that guy of the decade tho? Steven Root is still everywhere, Jim Beaver as well...? 

I was thinking it should be Bear Mccreary or Tyler Bates, as much as I am not a huge fan of either, they have done SO much 2010's peak media...that being said, I’d nominate Cliff Martinez if his only credit was The Knick. That shit was ART, maaaan.

THEY’RE AFTER YOUR BOOZE. HIDE THE WHISKEY, BUT LEAVE ONE BEER OUT AND SAY:”OH SORRY, THERE’S JUST THIS ONE BEER LEFT. I GUESS YOU CAN HAVE IT THO” THEN FINISH THE WHISKEY WHEN THEY LEAVE.

Wait...Don didn’t get an emmy for Eastbound and Down? I would have given him the award just for his reading of the line:”I Love the feel of the breeze on my dick”.
