You know, thats gotta be a pretty big confidence booster when their is an entire song about how much of a beefcake you are.
I can tell you from experience that it really is.
For the last time Steve, Move Bitch is not about you.
Then went does he say
"Move, bitch! Get out the way, get out the way Steve Garlo, get out the way"
Explain that!
It's Luda's childhood friend Steve Garlo. What, you think you're special or something?
I guess it is a SUPER common name... I just wanted to believe.
I believe that love is the answer

Let me attempt to summarize the first episode of Into the Badlands (a show I am watching as per @Rorshach Kringle's recommendation):
In what I can only presume is Atlanta, society has fallen and been replaced with a kung-fu Mad Max affair. In it a samurai finds a boy who might be the kung-fu Spirit of Vengeance?
At one point the samurai gets ambushed by a group of bowler-hat wearing gangster ninjas in an environment where they maybe filmed Singing in the Rain?
I loved Into the Badlands. The fights were good. But the setting, designs and characters were incredible. At least in how ridiculous and mismatched they are. It felt like a game of GURPS or something similar, where everyone made a wildly different character. And then in the finale
characters from Exalted show up out of nowhere and throw everything totally out of balance.
AMC put all its budget into promoting the 2 Walking Dead shows, Better Call Saul, and Preacher. Combine that with the show only having 7 episodes between November 15 2015 and tonight, and yeah I'm not shocked more people don't know about Into the Badlands. Here's to hoping season 2 gets much more attention
I had mix feelings about the first season- around the second half of that season the characters just because super frustrating and the final shot made me go bonkers.
Season 2, while oddly not really changing a thing, went down a lot easier. Part of it's probably that I'm going with the knowledge that both the characters are fucked up (I'm now fully on the side that only Gus is a horrible person though), and also because I 'got' the premise of the show. I don't think we're supposed to watch and want those two to get together.
I have been hoping Caleb and Tai would go out early so having Caleb be the boot was alright by me. Though I will give him some credit that in his exit press he owned how stupid he'd been pre-game talking about Sandra and Tony, and basically admitted that he got bad intel about Sandra especially (no coincidence that word was he had been getting "advice" from Russell Hantz pre-game).
I thought Hali did a good job, and I still think if she makes the merge she's going to be a threat to go very deep and fly under the radar. Now whether she'd end up sitting next to people who pissed off the jury and win ala Amber in All-Stars or just be a runner up who knows, but I think she's in a good spot.
Brad Culpepper has to be the biggest surprise of this season to me. He's playing a pretty killer game. His what would Monica do? mantra is working for him so far.
Still high on my winner pick Malcolm too. He's played a solid game and is doing the right things so far.
I think Queen Sandra is getting the Varner from Cambodia edit, where they load her up with screen time because they want to make the best of the time she's out there, but I think she's going to be booted pre-merge.
I've been very surprised by the edits that people have been getting. Culpepper getting this sensitive, thoughtful, strategic cut. Troyzan getting an edit other than "gigantic dingus." Sandra getting not just a villain edit, but a "let's kill a baby goat" villain edit.
It's fascinating stuff.
Still stoked about how Malcolm's doing. And I'm glad to see Cirie and Oz, if not bury the hatchet, at least recognize that said hatchet is a mutually-assured-destruction deal. And I tend to run real hot and cold on JT, but man, he is absolutely making the most of the garbage hand he got dealt. Is it gonna help him win? Nah. But I respect a man who goes down SWINGING.
Agreed on Sandra's edit. I have a fan fiction personal theory that she realized that she has no chance to win if she plays her trademark anybody but me strategy, because these people are not idiots and know she's won twice with it. So she's basically going to play like Russell Hantz, targeting people who go for her like Tony, being really arrogant with the in your face "I'm the queen" stuff. Because if she manages to turn herself into somebody who everybody treats like a goat because "nobody will give her a 3rd million, plus she's pissing everybody off" then she goes to FTC and loses, but she'll still be able to say that she's never been voted out after 3 times, and she was never going to win a 3rd time anyway, so it'd be like a moral victory, hah. I mean pre-game she did say her goal this time is just to make it to FTC, so I think I may be right about how she's playing.
But yeah, I've been super surprised by Brad C's edit. Listening to him talk outside the game it was obvious he wasn't as much of a douche as he seemed on s27, but I didn't expect him to be playing as well as he is. As for Troyzan, I've always been a little less down on Troyzan than most, just because even in One World he was basically the only person out there actually realizing what Kim Spradlin was doing. If not for what's his name(I think it was Jay) going and telling Kim about Troy's plan to take her out, he had huge upside to win that season. Not to diminish the fact that Kim's immaculate social game was why her opponents would do such foolish things though.
I've never been a huge fan of JT. I don't dislike him, I just don't think he's very good at Survivor. His Tocantins game was great, but IMO he only won because Fishbach gamebotted every move for their alliance but just didn't get the jury credit so everybody just gave loveable JT the money, which is fine. But in HvV we saw what he played like without Stephen, giving the idol to Russell, etc. I agree it was fun to watch him fight after getting swap screwed though.
I wonder how long until they swap back to 2 tribes, if at all. After 2 boots this week it'll be down to 15. I wonder if they swap back to 2 at 14, or just have an early merge.
Lack of other things to watch (cause like hell I'm watching Iron Fist) has led me to season 2 of Love
It's still fairly enjoyable, but mostly for Gillian Jacobs
I love Paul Rust, but he's fairly unlikable on this show, maybe by design
But I am deeply tired of the "gosh, beautiful women just keep throwing themselves at this very average dude with a mediocre-to-bad personality, isn't that such a problem" thing

The latest episode of How Did This Get Made is a live episode guest starring Gillian Jacobs and Caludia O'Doherty. The movie is a terrible 90s horror movie called Body Parts. Even if you don't usually listen to the podcast, this episode is truly delightful and I recommend it to anyone.

I know this is very out of left field for this forum but, dang 2017, I did not know I needed an Anne of Green Gables reboot at all but this is done just perfectly.

Episode has it all, action, humor, visuals. Jack's Back!
It's up on Youtube at the moment, I had it DVR'ed.
Still I need to find my Exalted book so I can show my brother that someone probably read it when making the show
they added it to netflix like a week or two before iron fist, too

I mean I would say the central conceit of the show is that these 2 characters are awful for eachother but can't help themselves yes.
It starts off with a giant SIX MONTHS LATER card slamming into the screen, and refuses to recap anything that happened last season.
I can respect this.

Like, it's ostensibly, conceptually, a bit bit garbage but it's then actually kind of great

Holy shit that comment on the school lunch program.
"There's no demonstrable evidence that feeding kids helps them do better in school so we should stop doing that."
To be clear, that is the guy defending the budget making that argument, not Stephen Colbert's parody character.
