xp, maybe it'll get more interesting once they get away from the pilot. i don't much trust gyllenhaal tbh.

or franco honestly! he's pretty distracting, as is the parade of wire actors who i'm happy to see getting paid but otherwise mostly pulled me out of the narrative thread by me continually going "oh hey it's slim charles!"

This show has a lot of strikes against it, two of them played by James fucking Franco. I'd say the chances of me watching the second episode are about 20% at this point.

So happy to have broad city back but my number one rn is difficult people. Fav quote from last week went something like:
'Julie, there's pubes in the nook and the swiffer just ain't doing it. I've got to go.''No, wait! Let me describe my butt some more.'

Anyone watch/watching the French TV show Le Bureau? (it is avail to stream for free on SundanceTV). I don't normally go for spy thriller/espionage but it's very well done, gripping and well-written. Definitely more of a slower paced, cerebral LeCarre vibe than a high octane action one. There hasn't been much attention given to it (at least in the English speaking press - to be fair it's not on a major network or anything), but it's a very solid show and I'm halfway through a binge of season 2.
Here's an article on it from earlier this year. Curious if anyone else is into it.

finally catching up with you're the worst season three, no idea why the writing fell off a cliff in the second half
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 15 September 2017 15:30 (six years ago) link
i'm guessing they ran out of ideas? anyway the paul/whatever the name of the other horrible guy is camping episode was insufferable
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 15 September 2017 15:33 (six years ago) link
i like difficult people but julie klausner (who i like as a "personality") is the worst thing about it. billy eichner is good, cole escola and andrea martin are amazing

basically everything else has been at least entertaining but everyone keeps falling into arbitrary epiphanies (my dad's dead so i'm gonna....build a treehouse!..which is gonna cause me to...reevaluate all of my relationships!)
xp

tbh the aimlessness of a lot of the back half was redeemed by the season-ending music cue cause I'm just that much of a sucker

oh i'm guessing the finale is a knockout, haven't gotten there yet

also how annoying was the wedding episode with the caterers... hiding cocaine???
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 15 September 2017 15:40 (six years ago) link
far cry from the second half of season two, especially "lcd soundsystem"
yeah the Edgar-centric ep was the high point of s3 iirc

Is anyone else watching the last season of Halt and Catch Fire aka the show with the coolest music supervision on tv
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 15 September 2017 15:45 (six years ago) link
Wedding episode was okay because of the Odd Future crew

late pass but gravity falls a+++++

Gravity Falls ruled but the ending was super abrupt, didn't feel that universe was anywhere near exhausted yet

was thinking last night that an ilx serialized animation old school poll would be fun. we haven't done that before right?

Gotta agree with the bureau des légendes love, its great
― Jibe, Friday, 15 September 2017 22:20 (six years ago) link
Xpost to NA: I've never taken the time to see who writes the show but Julie has some great lines. I do agree she's the least interesting character though.

ok season four of you're the worst is starting really strong
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Sunday, 17 September 2017 03:57 (six years ago) link
admit it you're just excited about the 90s rock radio cues
good use of Raymond J. Barry
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 17 September 2017 04:03 (six years ago) link
i was also excited about the rainer maria cue in the most recent episode!

lol no way. was it 'tin foil'?
― rip van wanko, Sunday, 17 September 2017 05:21 (six years ago) link
I'm kind of annoyed that we don't have an Emmys thread every year like we do with cinematic detritus. Tonight's has been pretty good so far.

Because it's always sunny in Philadelphia, after 12 seasons, have never been nominated so what is the point?

super curious to see how season two is handled; degree of difficulty is now much much higher

I was expecting more comedy from Orville, and didn't care that much for the episode. I'll likely watch it again now that I know its tone.
― nickn, Wednesday, 20 September 2017 02:34 (six years ago) link
Lighter on comedy is what makes it okay to me - regular Seth McFarlane comedy would have been unbearable.
