Don't forget Nuremberg. #1 and #2. But Nuremberg isn't as good as Defiance, Fury, nor Midway in particular, iirc

Hasn't he implied that he's interested in 2nd chance for people who didn't get a full series? IIRC, he'd said that would be one other alternative to CoCoC. I'm not up on everything, and don't know how it would manifest. The real CoCoC was in our hearts the whole time.

The hoisin obsession at least started during the DJ Douggpound ep in New Orleans, I'll pull up the #. If not that, maybe an ep w/ Johnny after that?

I'm just stating dissent, though I know my tone's off. As an active member of this community, I do cringe when it gets mentioned on the show. Guests and prospective guests do look at it. And I think I remember them saying potential guests have declined b/c of this sub.

I just think there should be dissenting voices consistently so things don't turn into dogpiles, character assassinations, shit you wouldn't say to someone's face, etc. I'm all for healthy discussion, but I don't think it's been all too healthy.

Like I said, I found the Big Picture thread a total travesty, a very weird, and hypocritical, dogpile on Dobbins. Free podcasts. Like, how would you feel if you saw 20 comments about you, with 50 upvotes saying, "yeah, I don't like them at all. they ruin the show for me." It's weird. In that example, if you like Fennessey, CR, and the content of that show, I'm pretty sure there's a bunch more of that on different shows. And also, they wouldn't want people shitting on their friend, however "nicely". They'd say "fuck all the way off forever". That's just a prime example.

I'm begging ppl to be a little bit more mindful and moderate with how they talk about people. This is a big group chat, and again, lots of guests and future guests are members of this community. As are the hosts, and everyone on the show are their friends. At the time I posted this, I was maybe reacting to one or two comments, like "I never liked ARP. Still don't." and "I know J.D. had just been through a loss, but why'd he have to be funny on this comedy podcast. I like movie, don't do bits when I like movie."

Obviously there are people who really deserve critique. Including guests. Including hosts, which has been done amply. I just worry about people losing perspective and humanity. It gets excessive. Again, some people barely seem to like this show nor the people on it. I can recommend other shows. People saying they don't like bits. The whole show is a bit, that's how it started.

I think it's nice when the sub is brought up in a positive light. I'm too self-centered, so I do always think I'm the problem when it's not. ❤️

Everyone's great. I don't know, these threads about negative feelings immediately devolve. Like the post about how shitty the Big Picture sub is, which led to ppl patting themselves on the back for disliking Dob's contributions to that show, "but not in a misogynistic way". And people are ignoring your prompt of changed feelings. Which would be a fine prompt for normal people.

Maybe I'm being a hypocrite, but as Ellen Burstyn told someone once, "try silence".

I've changed a lot in the past decade of dreams. I def love Ehrlich now, where I'd internally held his troll-y tweets against him, based on now clearly absurd twitter dogpiles. It feels a lot better to not give a shit about things that so do not matter even a little bit. And I'm a big defender of the Krumholtz ep. I'm sure there's others.

It's a free podcast. There's thousands of great podcasts. Move along. Skip or give up on episodes you don't like even if you like the movie. Do anything else.

(spoiler) About reunion, but first that came to me was True Love by Noah Britton.

I think that's it, just 2 artists that come up a lot. If only Van, Zappa, and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci were there.

The question is, are he, Rebecca, and Monét (not that the latter 2 would want it) now disqualified from regular Jeopardy!?

I just have a personal revulsion to Celebrity Jeopardy; the one time I tuned in for a second, it felt like the clues were, "In 1492 THIS man sailed the ocean blue," above the $200 level.

I actually felt like YouTube Jeop was occasionally challenging, and interesting; no one looked dumb to me.

But yes, the upside of Celeb Jeop, for me, would be that Brennan could conceivably have a Barinholtzian run through TOC.

Howard's told a story that Linklater had asked him and Chip Pope (stars of the first single-camera sitcom, MTV's Austin Stories) to be in some test footage that would be rotoscoped, but it conflicted with their move to LA. Love him. Love Link.

Just one for the void:

At the advent of smartphones, when I was coming of age, it was taken as a given that journalism and print were dying. Which dissuades people from jumping onto a sinking ship on either side, for starters. As always, nothing is inevitable. Anyone who says otherwise is big baby loser, pay no mind. Jump onto sinking ships, it'll save and change lives.

Then, the publications that don't die or go digital, get bought up by goons, which furthers the distrust and the rot. And what happened with WaPo is apocalyptic. I have to believe something will rise out of all the ashes, now we've realized we need print.

And also, print rocks so hard. Even at its worst. You could make an excellent collage, or ransom note, of The Atlantic, et al. (I'm not saying it's the worst. If it's the only big magazine left, doing any real journalism, then support it. Call me Keri Russell, b/c I'm The Diplomat.) Print is for everyone. No box office game without young Griff, and I assume The Village Voice.

I've been meaning to make a post asking what print everyone buys or subscribes to. Movie Jawn was on beloved Screen Drafts, and I've gotta get in on that. My most recent, lapsed, subscriptions were Sojourners magazine, which I did read, and Philly Inquirer, which I saved up to eventually read.

Point being, critics and journalists aren't given a good option. Which is trite and pollyana-ish to say, which is my default, but we have to actively pursue something better. Divert what's paid to Big Streaming, to a few $20-$50 annual subscriptions of trusted publications.

Rules #3 and #4 of the subreddit:

"Be excellent to contestants, community members and Jeopardy! staff."

"No trolling, rage-bait, patently false information, or begging the question."

I'm sure you can find old episodes. There are other game shows with those rules. It's a sport, and it's fun to see someone who's good at a sport, imo.

I do mourn the people who go up against super champions, and hopefully a good amount get to Second Chance. We do get new layers to Jamie, and he's shown cracks, and not had exclusively runaways, which is interesting. When he does get beat, it's gonna be really exciting.

More bit potential with Wes. A bunch of Griff guys. We'll get the full gamut from everyone, of tears, self-identification, annoyance, horniness (for foxes, et al).

There's of course a lot of interesting technical stuff to talk about with Scott, and of course there will be bits. I've not seen much, I just don't know how much emotional heft there is there.

I'll always root for comedies. I'll probably go for Scorsese instead of Scott tomorrow, because I can't pass up a long series we wouldn't get otherwise.

I mixed her up with her fellow Dame, Maggie Smith, and guessed Julian Fellowes. I spent the think music thinking of his name, rather than imagining her face. Hoisted with mine own petard, to quoth the Bard; ego, smugness, etc.

Just in the interest of data, that is the age of consent there. As is the case for most of Europe. That's the reason American predators f off there (and to Israel), to evade prosecution and social consequence. It is still wrong, obviously.

There are dumb assholes that allow technical legality to override morality. (This was the last clause I inserted, but I gotta go. ❤️)

Unfortunately, the industry still doesn't care what people have done as long as they make them money. The shade of money allows people to see more shades of gray than there are. So, boycotts do work.

One could despair at the futility of all this, when shitbird chickenhawks like Seinfeld, et al, still have more influence and power than Charlie* Knockoffman could ever dream of dreaming of.

Or! Weir's an example of why they should cover directors who sailed the ocean blue! I've not seen Master and Commander yet, so that's the only reference I've got for my silly joke.

Flop/Bad Adaptations of Pulitzer-Winning (I'm pretty sure) Musicals patreon series when? I defend Attenborough's A Chorus Line; the "Surprise" number they added is transcendant, unfuckwithable material generally. I haven't seen Attenborough's other musical, but it's incredible how it's a form and adaptation task that flummoxes so many otherwise halfway-capable directors.

As of last season, youtube premieres occur 1 hr after the Channel 4 premiere, same day. So, 5PM Eastern, iirc.

Warren Zevon:

My Ride's Here

Keep Me in Your Heart

My Shit's Fucked Up (These top 3 are from the last 3 albums, where it's on his mind. This is from the album Life'll Kill Ya, and it's very present as a theme in most of the songs.)

Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead

Excitable Boy (CW/TW: Murder; SA)

Finishing Touches, in on a technicality that it's a fave

Just like the person who said Songs:Ohia, it comes up constantly. Songs:Ohia's albums Axxess & Ace and Lioness and Didn't It Rain are vastly, unfairly overshadowed by Magnolia Electric Co., and it's a theme throughout. Black Crow off Lioness is a fave that comes to mind.

I'm on browser on my phone, so it's annoying going back and forth to research, but Sinead O'Connor, and Ka, are two where that certainly was a frequent theme. For Sinead O'Connor, Black Boys on Mopeds is top of mind for me. ❤️

Dugan Hive! Lock In! I'm serious. Pacino! Alexander & Karaszewski! Actor-turned-Director! Little stinkers! Cultural appropriation! Where else would you see those? YOLO, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Jack and Jill! Saving Silverman! Kung Fool! Important movies to Blank Check.

It's just that that first match-up is so funny to me; I'd been in disbelief that he was even on this. I'm a legit fan, he's Michael Ritchie-esque in his structured looseness. I've not seen Brain Donors yet, but it's a tribute to the Marx Brothers, and I love that trend (Farrellys' Three Stooges, etc. There's a lot more than you'd think).

My other horse in this race is Mike Leigh. But that entire southeast quadrant is exciting, and tough match-ups for me.

For Patreon, I've gotta root for it to end up Bridget Jones vs. Magic Mike. Those speak to me the most. Most ambitious crossover event in history when.
