watched the first chapelle special. some funny stuff. lots of rape material and not all of it cosby-related. liked the 4 O.J. stories.

I made it as far as the camp gay superhero followed by the rapey superhero and then turned it off.

as someone who loves rape jokes let me say you guys are really selling this comedy special

i really liked Hap & Leonard. Grifters/odd-job-doers in south texas, late eighties, lots of people get their heads blown off. Stars Omar from the Wire and Christina Hendricks (and her butt) and some other guy... i liked it!

i talked about hap & leonard on here. or i just told people they should watch it. one or the other.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 21 March 2017 20:00 (seven years ago) link
really really enjoyed hap & leonard. also just finished season 4 of rectify which i liked a bunch. it's a slow burn but the whole show reminds me of my hometown. i can't believe what a sympathetic character teddy jr became.

i should finish rectify one of these days. i did really like the first couple of seasons. daniel really is one of the weirdest characters to be the center of a t.v. show. there is something literary about him. or maybe that's just the sundance-y thing. but the whole thing reminds me of a short story writer's idea for a show.

it's a beautiful series, def worth finishing

sad to say, but even if you like chappelle, you could miss both those specials and be fine. i had to watch them but there is some weak material that just gets by on his personality. a great comic certainly knows how to sell weak stuff. definitely don't think there was 40 million dollars worth of comedy in them.

Samurai Gournet is an adorable addition to the Japanese food related comedy-drama, not a patch on Midnight Diner so far but good nonetheless.

maybe i'll watch the life aquatic? never seen it. maybe i'll see if cyrus wants to see it. it's weird because all his movies seem like kids movies that kids wouldn't really enjoy. they always feel a little too long or something as well. i thought my kids would like moonrise kingdom but they just got antsy. they can watch buster keaton or the marx brothers all day.

who recommended 'fortitude'? it rules, and is so extremely and exactly my shit that it's kinda freaking me out

Scott, I reckon your lads would love "Hunt For The Wilderpeople" (its on UK/Ireland Netflix not sure if its on US versh). If I was 10, it would have probably be my favourite movie

maria and cyrus went to see kong island last night at the movies. they didn't really rave about it. cyrus - surprisingly to me - really loved the movie Interstellar. it's on Hulu. i liked it and put it on for him and he flipped out. the space/time/continuum stuff blew his mind. i thought it would be too long or too slow for him. you never know with kids.

Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime is SO GOOD.
It's basically a fictional Joan Rivers & it's excellent. Takes a little bit of setup, but once it hits the top of the rollercoaster it's A+
Amy Sherman Palladino's dad was a standup, she grew up in this world...it *feels* like her wheelhouse
WATCH IT!!!

it's just the pilot though, right?

i couldn't stand this, it was so insufferably twee and indie i had to turn it off after about 10 minutes.

I have no idea if it is a good show or not, but Ingobernable is horrific name.

― jason waterfalls (gbx), Monday, 27 March 2017 16:55 (seven years ago) link
I guess not so bad seeing as it's a common Spanish word. I was reading it as some kind of mangled English neologism when I saw it pop up on my Netflix home screen.

it is as outlandish/bizarre as the wu tang killer not bees series one. crimes happen but not really in a typical crime series let's solve this logically way.

A friend of mine ordered me to vote for it to be picked up, I guess I'll check it out
I started watching legion knowing nothing about it (nobody spoil it pls) and I'm trying to keep an open mind but I admit my heart sank when someone said "he might be the most powerful mutant we've ever encountered" because I didn't realise it was one of those things. I did really like Fargo and stranger things and I'm enjoying the direction so far, slomo music video shit and all, and of course it's haha wow so trippy

Don't worry, Legion is amazing
― groovypanda, Sunday, 2 April 2017 19:59 (seven years ago) link
I got a few more eps in and I'm hot & cold. I know I shouldn't be so put off by genre trappings but I do die a little every time someone says "powers"
And then the 2nd episode had an irl "what if I told you" and an irl "we've never seen anything like this before" and again I know I shouldn't care but man what can I say I don't read comics
There is def a lot of good stuff (it looks great) and I don't think it will be as much of a waste of time as westworld or any of those other shows where "mystery" means "exposition that hasn't happened yet"
― a Brazilian professional footballer (wins), Sunday, 2 April 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link
I'm quite averse to all that superheros rinse as well, but damnit, the penultimate episode of Legion was fucking excellent and definitely a notable high amongst recent tv series stuff.

Is anyone else watching 13 Reasons Why? I'm a couple of episodes in and I am enjoying it so far.

going through some ah "heavy turbulence" at the moment and this has been about the only thing i can watch. it's charming as you say, and the slight 20 minute episodes are appropriate to the content. not for binge watching tho as his expressions of culinary contemplation, satisfaction and reverie all put together are a bit much, but yes this is good. (oh also the episode with his niece felt a bit off - his relationship with his past is one thing, but this was stuffy and patriarchal on to someone else in a way he usually avoids in other episodes)
will give midnight diner a go.
