and it’s canceled due to budget cuts…

Fun fact about the Fresh Prince, that scene was based in reality. Will Smith never met his father, and the line above was unscripted, as was the hug with his uncle.

Lmao nope, Will Smith knows his parents and has a tumultuous relationship with a father that very much raised him. The story above is posted fucking everywhere online though, despite being patently false and racially stereotypically. Gotta love the internet.

Fresh Prince and its not the "Why He Dont Want Me Man" scene

its actually a performance from Alfonso Ribiero after Will is shot and Carlton is ready to go get revenge. This scene and the weight of it always stuck with me.

a shame to be typecast because Alfonso is an incredible actor

Oh, well I liked hamster man. I thought he was an interesting foil to Jace with different perspectives on magic and it’s place in society and a good mentor figure for him to eventually outgrow as their ideas differ.

Id say yeah his character bio is pretty boilerplate, but he’s not a hero who wins at everything and is always right and “destined to save the world” or some generic crap. He’s lost things, and caused irreparable harm and loss for others because he couldn’t see the whole picture of his inventions.

Thanks for engaging. Interesting to see others viewpoints

David Brent getting fired in the UK Office and begging to keep his job (he "breaks character" and you realize that beneath all the on-camera quirkiness is a man with nothing in his life except his position) is more poignant than anything in the US version (even if the UK version is droll and un-engaging at various points).

They started doing that with castle rock on Hulu. I thought it was great. Wish I knew if Hulu was going to keep it going.

That's never well received. You can't just tell people that they have terrible taste in shows and they should stop watching so much of "x" and start watching more of "Y".

Well, I think it's safe to say that we all just lost a bit of respect for you there, Clare.

everything to do with Jace and the council, especially that weird old little hamster guy, what a fucking cringe ass character. i didn’t dislike his relationship with Mel, i actually thought that part was pretty solid (mostly because Mel is a good character, not Jace)

he felt like an ultra generic “city leader” archetype of a character complete with the tale as old as time of “young man discovers magic that the council has outlawed for generations due to its power”.

“Taxi” is one of my favorite sitcoms. I would encourage everyone to give it a watch. So many funny moments and episodes.

Fuxking here for THIS comment #Girls5Eva

They’re going to raise the price to add Discovery content I don’t want

They’re going to keep the Discovery name.

They’re going to remove the HBO name.

Secret to success?

Personally, I liked the song, “Walk Into the Fire” or whatever it is more, but yeah, that whole episode was fire

I mean the central premise is about a supernatural ability to detect lying. A paraplegic person being capable of climbing with her own bodyweight seems downright plausible.

I haven’t seen it so sorry for being so dumb but which one with jayce is the side plot? His backstory with the mom, his relationship with Mel, his friendship with Caitlyn?

The dialogue sure maybe I agree, I’m sure there’s some stuff that’s worthy of an eyeroll but I can’t recall specifics.

Still my favorite line is “In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good.”

Except that cable companies are doing better than streaming.

Only Netflix makes money streaming. Everyone else is losing huge amounts of money.

Especially the “Unpopular opinion: I actually like this thing that is wildly popular” posts.

Okay but even then, those are movies. Cloverfield is a movie, and there are sequels.

Fantastic Beasts is a spin off from the Harry Potter movies, which are adaptions of the Harry Potter book franchise.

The game and tv show exist in two different mediums.

The EU of Star Wars, is an adaption of the films to a book.

Acceptable only if she still wears her crazy outfits from Emily in Paris.

Part 1 was far better. Did a better job of leaning into the unsettling aspect of Pennywise which is how Tim Curry did such an awesome job.

disney literally disproves that

yes - but its a far smaller pool so advertisers are giving you far less money - unless you somehow find better ways to sell ads for streaming the struggle will continue

>But Severance is a hit. And Apple+ will want many seasons. Its safe.

It’s a hit because people have been watching it as it’s released. Do you see the flaw in your reasoning?

I’ve always meant to watch this all the way through. Seen pieces here and there and I really enjoyed it
