    BOTH OF THOSE DESCRIPTIONS USE THE WORD NONCHALANTLY

    Have you seen the commercials?
    They are nonchalant as shit.

    The pedant in me now needs to know the various adjustments the placing in an event gives to a tears flavor.

    What does disqualiified, but later re-qualified due to checking the camera and being placed 2nd's tears taste like?

    I love that, "Google what's my next event? It's dinner with your friends" like where were you even walking you chucklefuck, is their vision of the future one where we're just out in the world being guided around haplessly by our watches?

    Actually don't answer that because the answer is almost certainly yes.

    Where's the version that is him saying "Google what's my next event" and before it's answered he walks into a lamppost cause he was staring at his watch

    edit: and the version where him asking "Google what's my next event" in a busy intersection, causes everyone's phone and watch to also go off

    Where is the commercial with, "Hey Google what's my next event?"

    "Your calendar is empty for the foreseeable future."

    i randomly got the theme song to "it's garry shandling's show" stuck in my head

    now i am doing a rewatch

    i wish more sitcoms filmed in front of an audience would lean as hard into straight up being live theater as this show

    That whole experience really gave him the grounding to excel later when he took command of the Stargate program at Cheyenne mountain.

    I was gonna say all I can see is General Hammond.

    Huh, the dude wot played Berric Dondarion on GoT is gonna play Vimes in a show about Discworld's City Watch.

    I can see it.

  • ChincymcchillaChincymcchilla Registered User regular
    Discworld is such a hard adaptation, but The Watch seems like it'd be the easiest to do

    Fantasy Police Procedural With Comedic Elements is hopefully easier than some of the other one's they've taken shots at

    Start with the one where he arrests a dragon.

    Yeah, this seems to be a genuine ADAPTATION, using characters/world but doing its own thing. Which I think is a lot more likely to succeed than trying to do a straight-up translation.

    After seeing him on Fortitude, yes. Absolutely.

    The City Watch is also, by a wide margin, my favorite bit of Discworld

  • ChincymcchillaChincymcchilla Registered User regular
    I will also say that as someone who's really lost his taste for police procedurals

    I hope they keep the aspect of The Watch that is Vimes really building his force from the ground up and replacing a much more corrupt system of doing things

    That would go a long way for me

    The whole Good Cop bit in Discworld is definitely pretty leery

    But Vimes is really a pretty fuckin, wholly fantastically, Good Cop

    Per Collider, Alexander Skarsgaard will play Randall Flagg in the CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand

    Today on The View, King announced that also joining the cast is Jovan Adepo (The Leftovers) as Larry Underwood; Owen Teague as Harold Lauder; Brad William Henke (OITNB) as Tom Cullen and Daniel Sunjata as Cobb

    Previously announced was James Marsden as Stu Redman, Amber Heard as Nadine Cross, Odessa Young as Frannie Goldsmith, Henry Zaga as Nick Andros, and Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    One bit of their Good Cop routine I like is that it often involves not enforcing the law

  • HobnailHobnail Registered User regular
    You know I kind of might have imagined theyd nix the Mother Abigail character

    I don't understand casting a young attractive dude as Randall Flagg

    maybe I read the books wrong, but I always pictured the Walkin Dude as a grizzled looking guy in his 50s

    I have not seen Fortitude!

    But the actor seems like he does a great, "Exhausted with everyone and also life," which is what I mainly want out of Vimes

    oh my god Pooro watch Fortitude
    it's up there with The Terror for 'unbearably ratcheting up tension along multiple plot strands until you wanna scream'*
    also it has Stanley Tucci

    *season one, anyway. Season two is ... of interest, but I wouldn't blame anyone who decided to tap out.

    it's such a good character note that they recognize that Bobby's not gonna be a little shit all the time, and he's actually really moved by this
