Jrag Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 That sucks about Intelligence. The pilot wasn't all that great, but it was cool to see Sawyer back on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Kristin Kreuk is just awful. I don't think it's a coincidence Smallville got 100 times better after she left. I don't know why they keep putting her in things when 1) she can't really act 2) has no charisma or presence whatsoever. She's hot. That's really all there is to it. Can't act, no presence, etc but she's hot. And that's enough a lot of times. Especially if you're not quite a cookie cutter hottie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 That sucks about Intelligence. The pilot wasn't all that great, but it was cool to see Sawyer back on TV. I wasn't all that amped for the show. Didn't strike me as a terribly original idea. It looked like the answer to the question of "What if the Machine from Person of Interest were built inside Reese's head?" and sought to glean its audience from PoI fanatics.

Victator Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 The stuff on Arrow where he is fucking shit up in the hood is great. But boy do I dislike the stuff with his family and the Lances. I'm three episodes in so maybe that stuff improves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antacular Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 From what I understand, The League is semi-improv in the spirit of Curb, so what I gather is that he is, in fact, a naturally funny guy. I remember thinking his stand up was okay, but nothing special. Yet Kroll Show is cringe-worthy. I've forced myself to watch a few episodes, and I have yet to so much as snicker at a single gag. What amazes me even more is that this continues to air, but the The Jeselnik Offensive gets the axe. Fuckin' suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought this up when we were talking about Minka Kelly's (perplexing) ability to still get lead roles: Hollywood is full of hot chicks, who can also act. It's not hard to find them. Some of these casting people are just lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Presumably, Kreuk also comes cheaply, but don't mention that too much, because Scotty doesn't know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Granted, she's not exactly Meryl Streep or anything, but you could have put someone like Eliza Dushku in Beauty and the Beast and the show would be way better. At least she's got some sass and attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Dushku is good as long as you don't ask her to go beyond her range. Unlike Fox or Alba or Kreuk, her delivery of her lines is fine, and I can buy her as an actual person when she's acting in something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I get the feeling that this week's episode of Almost Human was supposed to be like episode 2 or 3 in the running order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I get the feeling that this week's episode of Almost Human was supposed to be like episode 2 or 3 in the running order. I'm not so sure. Keenex did seem pretty protective of Dorian when the other detective threatened to put a bullet in his head, which made be think it was filmed further along since it's established that they're friends. The note he wrote to Stahl seemed an indication he was finally doing something about his feelings for her after ages of flirting. It was weird how he's apparently been in anger management for several months and we never heard a peep, though. And they just seemed to randomly bring up his evil ex-girlfriend.

Brian Fowler Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's such a fucking awesome scene. Why the fuck was Damon slumming it in Eurotrip?

I just hope that when the show hits dvd/Netflix, they fix the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm more invested in Keenex's relationship with his desk at the police station than his one with Stahl. So it really doesn't matter how good the writing is as far as that's concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's such a fucking awesome scene. Edgy the fuck was Damon slumming it in Eurotrip? Who the fuck knows, but I am so fucking glad he did. I believe the story was that Damon was friends with the producers and was in Prague shooting something at the same time (Brothers Grimm? or perhaps one of the Bourne movies?) and was had a day off and wanted to help his old buddies.
