Brian Fowler Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm baffled by everyone not thinking it was a comedy. It was hilarious, and it never sold the dramatic stakes at all. I can't even guess what an argument for The Martian being a drama would look like. It was probably the funniest or second funniest movie of 2015 I saw, and it damn sure was more comedy than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Do you think whoever signed Mel Gibson to introduce Mad Max was thinking "Hey, it'll be a nice moment of him returning to the fold and being forgiven!"? or was thinking "Hey, it'll be hilarious to see if he's desperate enough for this to let himself to just stand there smiling while Ricky shivs him over and over!"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Allegedly, Gervais asked him what sugartits means in the bleeped part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The bleeping was so fucking annoying. If these pampered assholes can't go ten fucking seconds without cussing to try to seem cool why the fuck are we even filming and trying to watch this shit? It's not that fucking hard to control yourselves, pricks. Like, you're not trying to shock the principal with your graduation speech, you're a GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING WORKING ADULT! I think I've made my point. Translated into what I watched tonight: The bleeping was so are we even filming and trying to shock the principal with your graduation speech, you're a point.

Bustronaut Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Jesus, the HFPA just does not give a fuck anymore. Lady Gaga just won an award over Kirsten Dunst for FARGO. I wish you all could've seen the wicked side eye DiCaprio was giving her as she passed him going to the stage. She bumped into his shoulder on the way to accept.

He needs to be in that spot every awards show because his reactions and peoples reactions to having to walk by him were the best parts of the whole show.

EVA Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Too bad the HFPA had to ruin a perfectly good joke by giving the award to Gael Garcia Bernal for FUCKING MOZART IN THE JUNGLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't watch Law & Order SVU but has the plot of every episode devolved into "let's just make Mariska Hargitay a woman in peril?" I seem to remember seeing commercials for a seemingly endless episode arc where she was raped and tortured by Pablo Schreiber and now I keep seeing a commercial where she's kidnapped or held hostage or something. Big 4 network TV: always 30 years behind the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingus Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 What do you expect? It's Law & Order: Rape RapeRapeRape RAPE. It's all they've got. I've known a few women who were really into that show, and I dunno if it's causation or merely correlation, but those people were much more phobic about sexual predation than any regular person would normally be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Watched episode 1 of Billions last night. Enjoyed it - it will be interesting to see how long they will be able to stretch the story out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've known a few women who were really into that show, and I dunno if it's causation or merely correlation, but those people were much more phobic about sexual predation than any regular person would normally be. Olivia Benson has become some sort of cult hero among women. I have real life female friends and online friends both who give no shits about any of the other L&Os but will not miss an episode of SVU. From what my nieces tell me, Taylor Swift even named her cat "Olivia Benson." I've never engaged in conversation with any of them to gauge how phobic they are about predation but I've seen a bunch of SVU episodes from falling asleep after Raw and waking up with it on and I noticed the fact her character automatically assumes there's a sexual deviant hiding behind every corner became something of an *wink**wink* reference Stabler makes in quite a few episodes.

Matt D Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I've got Carson now. Billy Crystal was on and doing a bit about watching wrestling from Texas on satellite. It's not so much that it was overly funny so much as I could picture exactly what it is he was watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 James Spader is the MVP of television. Not necessarily the best actor mind you, but he gives the Blacklist such credibility, that helps overlook some of the other stuff. I love it, but it can be so freaking ridiculous sometimes. . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 So THE COLONY: USA's entry into the growing sub-grenre of "Let's try to make a version of THE AMERICANS that people will actually watch." In this case, it's Josh Holloway as an agent for the alien occupation, his wife...um...Rick's wife from THE WALKING DEAD is an agent for the human resistance, and they have to balance all that with raising a family. It's THE AMERICANS with aliens. First episode was...okayish? Probably won't seek out a second episode unless I hear it really picks up later on.
