The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Eaglemoss was quite possibly the most inept company I've ever dealt with. On top of that they had absolutely abysmal customer service, but that's probably to be expected because I don't know how those CSRs were actually supposed to help anyone and after a while it has to be impossible to apologize in any sort of believable or meaningful way anymore.
Shame, since their models were pretty good and my son absolutely loves them.
Except for their almost comical ability to never get the printing for the windows to line up anywhere close to the molded detail of the windows on any ship they made. Either their QC was nonexistent, or they just didn’t care.
Like the old micro machine Star Trek ships did a better job of window printing and those were wayyyy smaller.
One of the most annoying human beings I have ever been forced to interact with in my entire life got cast in a day-player role in this new season of ITYSL, and I have yet to decide if that's a bummer or if it's brilliantly on point for the show's whole vibe

My wife and I were unable to watch New Amsterdam (the hospital show) because this woman we both abhor got a small part on it. Just the worst fucking person. Our joint nemesis.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

I genuinely felt less shame being a kid with my family walking up to the register at Blockbuster asking for something from the clearance games rack or the B-horror section than I do being an adult lifelong fan+viewer of HBO and having the owners of HBO tell me they don't think I know or would like what an HBO is, would I prefer Max instead? Never mind a fifth of the content could be gone forever even before it's released, at least that's just infuriating and pointless; how humiliated do you want your audience before even getting to that point?

It's a little comforting to know I'm losing my job because leadership is just THAT brain dead.
Like, I always figured, but this at least confirms it.

There's this terrible reality show my wife loves, and the fact that it's terrible is apparently part of the appeal. It's called Vanderpump Rules
She's watching an episode, and two of the women on the show declare that they're going on a "Hot girl walk." This was presented as a big endeavor, some sort of grand undertaking. They've got water bottles.
But this season, they're filming in our neighborhood. Our apartment building was in the background of the scene's start. We saw how far they went, knew the corner where they stopped and turned back, knew intimately and directly how long this arduous journey was.

There are one hundred and ninety one episodes of that show according to Wikipedia and it's a good reminder that there are worlds that I never intersect with at all
My wife would like me to issue a correction. It's not a "terrible show," it's a "rich text"

I once asked my wife why she enjoys The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and her response, as the smarter, more insightful half of this partnership was "I don't know, probably the same reason to listen to sad girl music all the time."

One of the worst people on the show being the utterly unrepentant producer of a horror movie in the 80s who killed someone due to her own cutting of corners out of greed and impatience is...
Thats gotta be intentional right? Like, that feels like SUCH a called shot on John Landis SPECIFICALLY.
God i hope so, because that feels like the kind of laser-focused shot that would feel very good tbh

Oh come on
Do you think Rian would do that? Just make an entire piece of media designed to dunk on one guy?
I enjoy like second hand recaps of reality tv shows by podcasters and YouTubers and such, but I can’t actually directly watch them. The structure and the way they repeat things drives me mad even when I would otherwise enjoy the trashiness
I saw a thing by a tv reviewer that removing HBO from the name might be a request by HBO to keep the brands prestige once all the Discovery stuff is added.
So I'm watching the last episode of The Last Of Us and I've been thinking about a conversation we had in the politics thread. It was about the idea that Americans have an overly optimistic view of revolution and I vehemently disagreed. I think the overall cultural view of revolution is extremely negative. I keep on thinking about shows and movies like this and
The fireflies(and those unnamed rebels who took over Kansas) are such assholes. Like, the show and can't clearly can't imagine a group that would fight against Fedra and not be just as bad as them if they were in charge. I keep going back to the whole escape at the end and specifically the scene with Marlene and I feel like you could have done this same conflict and made it far more interesting by making Marlene and her fireflies less unrepentant assholes. Why should I as the audience even believe the scenario being presented? I don't trust this doctor and I don't trust Marlene. The scene where he kills her I feel like we are supposed to read as Joel crossing some sort of event horizon and I just don't. Marlene puts her gun down and and says "we can still work this out peacefully" and I'm wondering why anybody would believe that?

I'm not going to say history of the world part 2 is good
But it's a bunch of funny people in the room just being funny at each other, and the joke to groan ratio has been working so far

Just because you're excited does NOT mean you can run if you're not part of the Turbo Team
Season 3 looks so good... I want a bite of it... actually I might just eat the whole thing!

Slop them up
Adam got into a car? accident and quit to recuperate. Happy to see 'em go, not so happy with the circumstances.
years pass
one day Barbara calls me excitedly -- they've just seen Adam on tv. In one of those low-rent, scum-feel, accident lawyer ad-spots.
That is a heck of a TV show right there
