Petitioning to sneak s3 production costs into the covid relief bills, for our collective well-being

So just last night I found out (via my wife) who Wyatt Russell's parents are, I had no idea... in spite of meeting and chatted with his half-sister a few years ago.

Groundhog Day: Blaise plays Bill Murray's shrink and Ernie's boss plays the groundhog day MC/handler.

yes! and he was the co-writer of Caddyshack but also in that film portrayed a character named "Lou Loomis"... almost the exact name of the Sovereign Protector of Lodge 49 circa s1 eps #1-5.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 13 April 2020 04:46 (four years ago) link
More odd parallels: Tricia Brock directed episodes #5 & 6 of Lodge 49 s1, but she was the writer of Twin Peaks season 2 episodes 17 & 23 which prominently feature Windom Earle, portrayed by Kenneth Welsh who plays Larry Loomis in Lodge 49.

I just watched the first episode. I wasn't crazy about it and would probably bail except for all the praise about it here.
― Yerac, Monday, 20 April 2020 16:54 (four years ago) link
I felt the same way, except the 2 people who recommended it to me specifically said to give it a few episodes.
It's definitely a slow burn, there are an incredible amount of buried/obscured details that reveal themselves in later viewings. If you're not onboard by s1ep6 (if you can hang that long) it's probably just not your thing.

Yes, it parallels the a brief detail of Flammarion's Engraving in the title credits, Paul Giamatti's character straight-up does this to the map on Ernie's living room wall:

currently watching AMC's Dispatches From Elsewhere which feels a lot like if you stripped Lodge 49 of the fascinating minutiae, belly laughs, and contemporary resonance, and replaced it all with Michel Gondry worship and a real budget. A real shame.

I was a little worried about that. Haven't read any reviews and had considered checking the hivemind here before watching
― mh, Tuesday, 21 April 2020 17:20 (four years ago) link
most people seem to like it but I'm finding it kind of unbearable
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 21 April 2020 17:22 (four years ago) link
the promos seem to be very portentous and packed with recognizable actors, which often does not bode well
― mh, Tuesday, 21 April 2020 17:24 (four years ago) link
not to mention a vague title and even vaguer trailers.

Still no sign of the second season in the UK so guess I'm going to have to torrent it

i thought i already said this on here but i guess not: if you liked Lodge 49, you should also watch Patriot on Amazon Prime if you haven't already. there are plenty of differences but they are both comedies with strong undercurrents of sadness and big ensemble casts of interesting characters.

Just watched the trailer and I remembered why I stopped watching that in the first 5 minutes - the protagonist casually kills someone over a job interview. That's not mellow.
― DJI, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 21:25 (four years ago) link
he isn't dead! but yeah it is a lot more stressful than Lodge 49
― na (NA), Tuesday, 1 September 2020 21:26 (four years ago) link
Lodge 49 is so damn good, I keep rewatching it mainly due to recommending it to people and then days/weeks later having them want to dive into convos about the show and I want to be fully present and reoriented.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 1 September 2020 22:22 (four years ago) link
Finished this last night (after putting off watching the final episodes, like some others mentioned), so good. Really too bad it didn't get another season, but also kind of amazing that it got made in the first place.

I had no idea I'd seen Brett Jennings before L49... but he played Ron Washington in Moneyball.

Just realized that Dud's limp when he walks is awfully reminiscent of Snake Plissken's after he takes a crossbow bolt to the leg.

just thought about Brent Jennings in s2 and welled up a bit

Got a few left of season 2 to go. At first I was a bit disappointed in the shift away from the hare-brained mystery arc but appreciating it much more now.

I have nothing to say that hasn't been said but fuck it's so good. Doesn't hurt that the surf hauntology soundtrack is just dead center in the venn diagram of a lot of my genre loves.

Wyatt Russell was quoted in Vanity Fair last week saying that if Jim Gavin ever wants to do a L49 movie or if the series somehow gets picked up, he would drop everything to rejoin the project.

eh, if a Party Down re-boot can happen a decade after the fact, it's not so insane to think a Lodge 49 one could happen someday, too.

There was a zoom event last night featuring Charles Yu (L49 staff writer for s1, sole writer for s1e6 which is imho the best L49 episode) for the SF Book Festival, and just so happened to be hosted by Jim Gavin. It ran about 1 hour and focused on Charles' work in the speculative fiction realm, his awards and accolades including winning a major award (National Book Award - Fiction) mid-pandemic for Interior Chinatown, violence/malevolence towards Asians/Asian-Americans, coming from an unusual background (pre-med/law school/model-minority), Asian-Americans underrepresentation in the arts, but mostly Charles' process of writing and honing his craft.
These guys are obviously good friends so it was often silly and light-hearted compared to a stuffy reading of Charles' resumé and bibliography which in someone else's hands the event could have been.
Yet even though the spotlight was on Charles, he gave Jim and Lodge 49 deep, heartfelt compliments at every opportunity (seriously, maybe 20-25% of the talk was Lodge 49-adjacent, just on Charles' behalf!).
I'll check to see if it gets posted on the 'tube.
