    you should always be annoyed when a white person is cast in anything, imo

    What if they get cast as David Duke?

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    David Duke being played by a non-white person would piss off actual David Duke so its ultimately better

    it would annoy david duke infinitely more if a non-white person played him

    If there is one exception to the "please shut up about Idris Elba playing everything" rule it is definitely David Duke

    Now I'm thinking about that horrible Wheel of Time pilot episode with Billy Zane again.

    The Terror is such brilliant, understated TV. It might also be the most stressful viewing experience I've ever subjected myself to.

    Related, it's something when a scene of someone fearfully probing their own suppurating wounds is the most psychologically restful part of a show.

    Don't cast Quentin Tarantino as a black guy because he would love it too much.

    I think that season four of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend might just not be good

    So last night the internet at my house was unreliable, so my best friend & I found something in our DVD library to watch.

    We're going to finish part 2 probably tomorrow night.

    you can double feature Private Benjamin and Judge Dredd!

    When he kills Eric Roberts and all the rest of the suitors it is truly epic in ferocity. Just impaling dudes left, right and center.

    Armand Assante is fucking ruthless when murdering folks in this miniseries.

    Michael Ironside didn't play Polyphemus the Cyclops.

    If he did that cyclops would have had a leather jacket.

    We caught Hannah Gadsby's new standup show in Boston.

    It is VERY GOOD.

    I don’t know how you even do another comedy set after Nanette.

    That was the question we all had. She managed it. It feels like a proper progression from Nanette without playing out the same way. Like, really well put together. She's a master.

    I kinda wish she would've retired after Nanette because what a fucking way to go out

    but also that she keeps going?

  • 3cl1ps33cl1ps3 I will build a labyrinth to house the cheese Registered User regular
    I firmly believe that her plan was to retire after Nanette, and seeing how popular it got and the platform it afforded her made her decide to stay and keep speaking truth to power. Which is good.

    From memory she'd been struggling hard as a stand-up for like a decade, had been on Aussie telly a couple of times (things like Just For Laughs Melbourne), but had never really "broken out", so was going to go out with a bang and move into writing or something else.

    Then Nanette (rightfully) fucking exploded and all of a sudden she's all over US talk shows and being asked to do all the big international shows and she was like "well damn, maybe I'll keep soldiering on".

    yeah that is what I assumed, theres just something that would be so perfectly poetic to go out on a mastercraft of a routine like Nanette

    but I can't fault her at all for wanting more money and queer exposure, she fucking earned it

    Finally finished The Terror. Whew.

    not really spoilers since it's historical but just in case,
    The second third of the season was a real exercise in cognitive dissonance, because every time someone nice died I'd be all "noooo!", but also hyper-aware that in this scenario it's a blessing to find yourself dying earlier rather than later.

    Got through the first handful of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend today! It's good and funny and the songs are good! Everyone keeps fucking up all the time and when I go to do other things it sort of feels like coming up for air in a weird way that I can't really explain? It's a weird feeling!

    The first two seasons manage to walk this extremely difficult line of "what if zany sitcom situation but centred around a realistically mentally ill person". And yeah, it is kind of stressful to watch. Like watching a relative or friend totally spiral out, even if it's a source of amusing anecdotes.
    Also the songs are great!

    I still don't know how they managed to go downhill quite so badly during season 3.
