sometimes a watercooler show will be returning and even some of the ones i like start to feel like a chore, bc so many of them disappear up their own ass or they're grim "life is bad" type deals and this is just a good time.

my friend the other day was saying he's watched the whole thing twice but watched the final scene of season one half a dozen times.

I think that the art of delivering the warm fuzzies is kind of a lost art in the current tv landscape, which makes GLOW so refreshing and fun.
― Martin Landau Ballet (Leee), Monday, 4 June 2018 20:36 (six years ago) link
yeah i agree, it's at the point where people start to expect the worst or eagerly predict the feel-bad stuff. like when Justified was coming to a close (and that's an example of a pretty genial good-hearted show even at its darkest) so many people were assuming Raylan would be killed or everyone would die. or on Mad Men that Megan would get killed by the Manson family. so this really is refreshing. and the cast is really exceptionally good.

You know what else is a lost art is the art of proofreading dangit.

I wonder if the "grim 'n gritty" phase is something that every maturing medium goes through (at which point it gets more critical attention).
― Martin Landau Ballet (Leee), Monday, 4 June 2018 20:56 (six years ago) link
love Glow also agree with the points about exhausting "gritty" TV....has anyone else watched Red Oaks on Prime? way different but has similar 80s setting and real warmth and affection for its characters

the push toward gritty is why i miss playing house and why i like kimmy schmidt
shoot even rizzoli and isles and izombie, even though they're primarily about death, have a lightness to them
("weird" (cough) how all these shows, glow included, focus on women........)

― Martin Landau Ballet (Leee), Saturday, 30 June 2018 17:00 (five years ago) link
yeah this show is real good - the ensemble is fantastic and from the first three eps of s2 it seems like they’re each getting some screen timei stand by my assertion upthread that betty gilpin would be a great wonder woman

suck it up broham; we’ve all been in the shit. don’t take four posts to be offended over being a troglodyte throwback.

Ok I love this show but one thing I just cannot let slide.
Stanfurd is not "one of the best schools in the country."

i never said 'durrr this lady makes me feel strange in my bathing suit area’
also i'm aware there are a fewer women posters than ever, and would like to see their presence more
but whatever
― Jang Mo Jib (Ross), Saturday, 30 June 2018 19:19 (five years ago) link
i mean, maura called me a troglodyte, little bit rude. Also inaccurate, I'm smart.
― Jang Mo Jib (Ross), Saturday, 30 June 2018 19:20 (five years ago) link
but i'm leaving this thread, cuz y'all gonna beat me down

I feel like Episode 4 of this season may be one of the realest so far - maybe their first "bottle" episode?
― The Harsh Tutelage of Michael McDonald (Raymond Cummings), Saturday, 30 June 2018 19:42 (five years ago) link
yeah, it’s a great showcase for gilpin and kia stevensthe amount of stunts the cast do own their own is really impressive - the liberty belle / welfare queen fight in that episode is awesome!

For whatever reason, this is making me think of Jaime Hernandez's "Whoa Nellie" series from some years back.

Fwiw back when "they're hot" type remarks weren't found offensive there were loads more female posters. Some of them even made such comments. Ilx turning into a hard left enclave may be counterproductive in this respect.
― albvivertine, Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:03 (five years ago) link
I'm finding it easier to just mostly stick to ILM tbh. Politics threads/etc. scare me off quick
― Jang Mo Jib (Ross), Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:04 (five years ago) link
hard left enclave? LOL seriously? because Maura rightfully checked Ross. watch my eyes roll allllllll the way around in their sockets. jfc
be better. move on. end of story.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:22 (five years ago) link
well, i'm sorry anyway

I don't think calling someone stupid is fair though.
― Jang Mo Jib (Ross), Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:30 (five years ago) link
i didn’t call you stupid i called you uncouth and exist. there’s a difference. have a great day
― maura, Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:41 (five years ago) link
*sexistalso lol “hard left”
anyway i finished the season and i really liked it
― maura, Saturday, 30 June 2018 23:43 (five years ago) link
troglodyte is often used to denote "stupid" but yeah you have a good day. i enjoy your posts on ilm, so no hard feelings i hope
