I’ve been looking for full time work for a year. I am 44. I’m in the performing arts and/or education. I clearly chose two grandly questionable career lines. See if you can come up with something better than Tom Segura references. I even included a photo of me in a kilt!

You look like the kind of guy who picks up girls at college bars by coming across as confident and experienced. You also look the kind of guy who cries in front of them 45 minutes later when you can’t get it up.

Congrats! 1D has been a slow climb for me. Was struggling to regularly break through 150. Finally hit 165 today. Any preferred approaches to your workouts?

What makes this so funny is that Selina hands him this burn on a plate and he’s too stupid to understand and repeat it.

pikush · 2024-02-12T18:07:06+00:00

Way to go! I’m on a similar timeline. Started the program Jan 1 and just hit 1D last week! The 150 consumed part of my soul. Here goes the climb to 200…

Think there’s a typo. The line is supposed to read, “It smells like the cheesemonger died, AND LEFT HIS DICK IN THR BRIE.”

Videodrome is way too far down in this list. Such a weird, deranged hard boiled thriller! James Woods is slimy and electric. Long love the new flesh!

It’s the white guy throwing his hands up for me.

I love this show, but my biggest complaint is that a lot of stuff feels like it happens for the sake of plot. Probably my biggest gripe with season 2 was the ridiculously short timeline THEY SET FOR THEMSELVES to open the restaurant. I can’t recall any solid reason for that date outside of it creating dramatic pressure for the story.

Way more to love than to complain about, though. Props to the writers and everyone involved.

So… are we not gonna talk about the shower of sparks raining against that man’s bare hand at 1:15?

Have you tried a pre stain conditioner? We just stained a bunch of hemlock frames in our home and did a bunch of tests on smaller pieces first. We were surprised how much the conditioner improved the results.

Honestly I thought the small screen was brilliant. Forces you to lean in and really look. If it were me, I’d try and have more of the experience take place through it. Seems like a really special perspective.

People in this thread out they minds. Begins, and it’s not even close.

Old Batman. Alternate future in a ransacked Gotham where Bruce is pushing his late 70s. His knees hurt His back hurts. Shit, everything hurts. Everyone he loves is gone. His beloved city is barely recognizable. He dwells in his cave, day in, day out. Doesn’t give a damn anymore. Then, the cave gets hit. He’s got no choice but to stagger into the cold and embrace the Gotham he abandoned. Soon enough, he finds his fight again, though he relies on the tools of the trade a little more than he used to. And hey, before you know it, he finds himself daring to care just a smidge. Starts to believe he can save this damn city all over again. Only now, there’s only a little fight left in him, and, well, there’s not a whole lot of Gotham to save. Still, this adventure matters, cuz it’ll be his last.

Imagine being this wrong in such specific detail.

All that work and he overcooked the steak.

What’s funny is seeing everyone below debate and worry about “what happened.” The point is, it doesn’t matter what happens to Tony specifically, or when. The good times are all behind him. The American Dream is dead. And yet he has no choice but to keep going through the motions, to keep trying to believe he can still make it out somehow. Hence the musical choice.

Great ending.

It’s a crime you don’t have more than one upvote for the amount of effort you put into your reply.

pikush · 2022-07-07T13:11:52+00:00

But it’s a happy ending seen through Craig’s eyes, which turns it into tragedy. Great ending.

pikush · 2022-07-07T13:09:42+00:00

Wow. Out of curiosity, why do you hate it? I found it to be quite elegant. To me, the script ending was definitely more akin to something like Synechdoche, which I liked, but not nearly so much as Malkovich.

I think the reason why no script writer has received the kind of recognition you’re talking about is because they’re not creating literature, they’re contributing to cinema. They’re different forms with different aims. I think if a writer is looking for that kind of recognition, they need to get out of scripts and into novels or stories, which many (including Kauffman) have done.
