The Trial may be the greatest piece of the On Cinema canon.

lol I liked the scene-for-scene comparison at the end of that episode where they showed Gemini Man looked exactly like an episode of Decker.
The Trial screened theatrically at BAM in New York late last year.

voted for Mindhunter, also i don't necessarily think Fincher is pulling the plug permanently especially considering the show would likely have some leaps forward in time if we're following the BTK story, and i imagine with his clout and apparent loyalty to the show he's just taking some time off to work on other things and allow the other actors to work as well.

i think S1 of Mindhunter reached some highs that S2 fell just shy of in several ways but it was still great.

That's a good point about the time jumps, seeing the actors released from their contracts is just kind of an ominous headline.

fuck this union-busting creep btw
On Cinema's prescience crosses over to Decker in that the alternating squinting / open-pursed lips acting range is exactly exactly Trump's childlike notion of performative toughness definitely disagree with Mr America as a capsule summary of On Cinema for newbie btw, though it probably works fine as a tiny weird stand-alone I lost interest in Killing Eve pretty early on in s1 and no one seemed to think s2 was an improvement

How does this compare to the film (which I liked)
β imago, Saturday, February 15, 2020 6:14 AM (forty minutes ago)
it's astounding how well it compares to the film. it's not quite as great, but keeps the tone perfectly, doesn't exhaust the premises, invents loads of great new wrinkles to the set-up and even to modern vampirism, and even manages to preserve a touch of the charming parochialism of the original despite being set in NYC.

The way I Think You Should Leave was meme'd told me that Mr. Show would have been huge if social media had been around in the 90s. Also, too low.
― Chris L, Friday, 14 February 2020 21:11 (four years ago) link
maybe the Instagram sketch is so great it justifies the show's position here
I didn't really get much else as hard (with a few exceptions) - too much mudpie, too much pandering to basic crudeness idk. maybe it'll grow on me if i finish the season

The way I Think You Should Leave was meme'd told me that Mr. Show would have been huge if social media had been around in the 90s.
totally though I think this show was designed with that in mind, there's a pretty conscious overlap between it and a lot of weird twitter stuff

its definitely hit and miss but one advantage of the show is that the sketches actually end pretty quickly
on the thread someone posted the "Roundball Rock" sketch from SNL which I think demonstrates exactly what's wrong the show...the premise of the sketch is hilarious but once its revealed there's nothing left to do and yet they make it go on for 7 minutes anyway. ITYSL doesn't have that problem

like all sketch shows it has peaks and valleys but the peaks (steering wheel, the worms are their money, turbo time, etc) stuck in my head since the first viewing

instagram sketch is def very good, but also probably the most conventional thing in the series.
