yeah, i agree. i don't want a very special hour long episode of high maintenance, or one that's really expensive to shoot for some reason. i just want a solid 10-12 minute episode that's shot mainly in one room and down the street.

yeah, a few of those and I'm set
― mh, Monday, 20 April 2015 20:09 (nine years ago) link
i will go on record as wanting a half hour of high maintenance; i like their longer form work.

why don't you just watch 2 or 3 episodes together and pretend that the same character is just changing names and bodies but it's rly the same person in the same episode

*updates spreadsheet*
i don't dislike the longer episodes. it's just that i think part of the charm of the episodes so far was that you were never sure if they'd be 7 minutes long or 12 or 20. They all felt like they were as long as they needed to be. obviously the details about the HBO stuff are scarce right now but it's difficult to imagine them cranking out anything but a standard-length show.

i just watch all of them in one sitting right now, that works well too

They could do two 15-minute "segments" within a single half hour, like Louie used to do.

i have many more years to go (i think) before i am visibly balding like ben sinclair but i really really like that he has a very cool-looking balding style that is not the ubiquitous shaved or buzzed head that is typically prescribed to balding dudes

that ad was embarrassing btw xp
― marcos, Wednesday, 16 September 2015 13:55 (nine years ago) link
theres a dude in my area who owns/runs a tennis shop who looks a lot like Sinclair. has a similar vibe too, not quite as idyllically warm and gregarious but hes a real dude not a character so to be expected.. ive contemplated bringing it up to him a few times, but assume once the hbo show starts he'll realize or someone else will tell him, if he doesn't already know idk
― johnny crunch, Wednesday, 16 September 2015 13:55 (nine years ago) link
fwiw it's a supercut of several longer ads, still pretty embarrassing but Sinclair is the best part of each

All episodes have been taken down from Vimeo for the move to HBO, damn.

the ones they charged for always had a 12 month expiry date iirc

yea this sucks, the 12-month thing too was waved off iirc, ben said in some comment thread that that was just a technical thing w/ vimeo and there wasn't going to be an expiration
― marcos, Wednesday, 10 August 2016 15:20 (eight years ago) link
finally saw 2nd season on hbo
i liked how a lot of the eps dealt with white anxiety lol

wait the old web episodes are on HBO? nice.

what's the format gonna be? how long are the episodes?

Weird that it's a Friday night show.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Friday, 16 September 2016 20:34 (eight years ago) link
this is not terrible but its lost almost everything that made the webseries good
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 17 September 2016 21:45 (eight years ago) link
Sheesh, it was one episode! I thought the second segment was strong.

glad that it appears they're going with the jaymc/gr8080 plan:
They could do two 15-minute "segments" within a single half hour, like Louie used to do.― jaymc, Monday, April 20, 2015 3:34 PM (2 days ago)i hope they do this and then like one or two 30min eps― gr8080, Wednesday, April 22, 2015 10:54 AM (one year ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

decent episode but i thought it was a weird choice to devote one half of the HBO premiere to an excruciatingly long single scene with a mildly rewarding punchline (considering HM's storytelling via artful editing is one of is greatest strengths) and the other half to a continuation of already-established characters from the web series, not to mention a meth freakout played for laughs in a show that is being marketed as one about weed
basically the total opposite of everything i'd go for in a premiere in front of a whole new audience & something i would think would play better as a 4th or 5th episode but i have faith that the remaining 5(?) eps will be good
best moment by far was Max's monologue in the support group
― gr8080, Monday, 19 September 2016 17:32 (eight years ago) link
which was immediately ruined by the meth freakout
― gr8080, Monday, 19 September 2016 17:36 (eight years ago) link
first ep appears to be free on hbo's website?

correct.
― gr8080, Monday, 19 September 2016 17:40 (eight years ago) link
eh this was okay i guess but not that good

chad living in a theater was pretty funny
― marcos, Monday, 19 September 2016 18:47 (eight years ago) link
totally! but again the kind of callback that would have been more effective deeper in the season imo
― gr8080, Monday, 19 September 2016 18:57 (eight years ago) link
yea there really wasn't any kind of "inaugural" feeling here and i guess they are just kind of viewing this as a continuation rather than some new beginning but for any new viewers i thought this was a poor introduction to what makes the show good... even sinclair's character who is the anchor of the show was just kind of vacant and missing
― marcos, Monday, 19 September 2016 19:02 (eight years ago) link
chad asking the guy if he meant "that's so chad" as a pejorative and the guy admitting that he did reminded me of a half baked theory ive been kicking around for a while about what if any overall statement they are trying to make with the show and what The Guy is supposed to represent, which I've been meaning to put into a post itt

its still only a half-formed idea for now tho
