also strange how in this world i can watch a youtube video of home camcorder footage of a computer screen playing a pirated stream of a television show, my head hurts
― raw feel vegan (silby), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 02:16 (eleven years ago) link
not to mention that most of the tv show footage in question is of a diegetic film projection, so there's like five nested screens here, I might die over here

You're angling for a consulting credit on Revolution, aren't you, silby? I'm onto you...

So this Revolution is pretty much a rip-off of SM Stirling's Emberverse series then?
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 10:55 (eleven years ago) link
yes, that seems to be a likely scenario

30 Rock had a good run, it's for the best. This season was by far the worse.

You know how you could tell shows were NBC shows just by looking at them for the past few years? Heroes, The Event, The Cape, Harry's Law, etc etc? I was watching the Revolution trailer and, even though I knew it was an NBC property the whole time, it didn't look or feel like one. Maybe they've at least turned a corner here.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:12 (eleven years ago) link
They downloaded a new Final Cut filter, iirc.

hey, hey - Harry's Law at least recruited the old Boston Legal editing and music team

Revolution looks a bit like Jericho--which also a bunch of 1776 jive mixed in with the disaster/sf--but probably done better.
― President Keyes, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 20:04 (eleven years ago) link
looks pretty low budget and bad for a network show, imo, especially comparing it to something like Fallen Skies
― Nhex, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 22:40 (eleven years ago) link
First thing I noticed in the Revolution promo was how crisp and new their clothes looked, supposedly after 15 years of no electricty. And then I couldn't un-notice it. I know it's possible to continue with fine tailoring by hand or water/animal-powered looms, but it's not fucking likely everyone would continue to do that as they struggled to survive.

So Community apparently isn't alone: The Office will also be getting a regime change, although apparently not coupled with the complete overhaul which had been discussed.

You guys can breathe easily now: Rules of Engagement will be back for a seventh season.

Also: holy shit, my interest in reading a book about the history of NBC's last few decades has apparently retroactively spurred the universe (and Warren Littlefield) into action.

i'd much rather hear about the failing years of the past decade tbh (The Office/30 Rock on)
― Nhex, Monday, 21 May 2012 20:16 (eleven years ago) link
It can't get much worse at this point, a change might improve it slightly.
― Respectfully, Tyrese Gibson (Nicole), Monday, 21 May 2012 20:18 (eleven years ago) link
with the showrunner and one of the most senior writer/exec producers leaving, it would be hard not to have a "regime change"

Why do celebrities get married at all? At least there are no kids involved. Oh, wait ...
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 7 September 2012 20:42 (eleven years ago) link
yeah anyone who is married for nearly a decade and has kids and then breaks up because they are unhappy together is a real monster
― Jandek at the Disco (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
Unless the divorcing parents are complete assholes to each other and around their kids, kids in divorced families turn out okay for the most part.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 7 September 2012 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
They did last a pretty long time, I admit that. It just seems that celebrity marriages often don't even meet the modest margin of the 50/50 national average or whatever. Kids in divorced families do generally turn out OK. Celebrity kids, on the other hand ...
This was Arnett's second marriage, I guess. The third Mrs. Arnett should get something good in writing first.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 7 September 2012 21:30 (eleven years ago) link
it'd probably be impossible to quantify but i do wonder if divorce rates ARE higher for celebrities or if you just get a skewed impression since splits get so much more press than long happy marriages.
― drag-∞n (some dude), Friday, 7 September 2012 23:04 (eleven years ago) link
First, you must establish measurable criteria for celebrity.
