restrepo is powerful. usually stay away from serious movies on streaming but put it on thinking I would half pay attention and turn it off if I got bored, neither of those things occurred. feel like it should be required viewing in high school.

Police, Adjective has a lot of long takes of the policeman protagonist standing around on the street waiting for a pot deal to occur where very little happens. There are two conversation sequences (one between him and his wife, the other with his boss) that pay off, but the film is definitely tough-going arthouse fare.

i mostly only know the first few seasons but:
the (extremely long) first story arc starts out pretty rocky (HA HA) but gets good about halfway through--at least by the time they go to Pottsylvania, which is around episode 13.
box tops robbery (last six episodes of S1) is essential, as, basically, is upsidasium (beginning of S2) but there's a lot of dead air in upsidasium.
wailing whale is so-so but an early episode contains The Best Rocky And Bullwinkle Joke; it is utterly flawless; it involves a shipping magnate. i am laughing thinking about it. your mileage may vary of course but i mean i would be pretty surprised if someone could stand rocky and bullwinkle at all and did not think this was hilarious.
all the fractured fairy tales are worth it; most of the aesop and sons are too but you'll miss edward everett horton; dudley do-right is fun if you're in the mood; fuck peabody and sherman.
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 17 March 2011 01:56 (thirteen years ago) link
there's one great peabody and sherman opening where it just fades in abruptly on peabody and he says "hello out there. peabody's my name. i suppose you know yours." but it's downhill from there.
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:04 (thirteen years ago) link
fuck peabody and sherman.

― ℳℴℯ ❤\(◕‿◕✿ (Princess TamTam), Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:07 (thirteen years ago) link
don't get me wrong, peabody and sherman aren't the main attraction, but c'mon
― ℳℴℯ ❤\(◕‿◕✿ (Princess TamTam), Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:08 (thirteen years ago) link
i dunno i mean i spent my childhood watching tapes of these over and over and over again so maybe they wouldn't seem so bad to someone who wasn't already sick of them (cf. also CAPTAIN PETER "WRONGWAY" PEACHFUZZ, THE WORLD'S WORST SAILOR) but--and this is gonna sound just completely ridiculous--they're so contrived.
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:10 (thirteen years ago) link
like, william tell has gone blind and can't hit the apple, so peabody places a "small but powerful magnet" in the apple, attracting william tell's arrowhead and making him hit it dead-on, which like okay maybe it is just how smug peabody is with his little bow tie about his Genius Solutions that could not possibly ever work that gets on my nerves
but then i mean i guess that is the point of peabody and sherman
i dunno
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:12 (thirteen years ago) link
haha well i watched them over and over too, but that was at an age where i wasn't likely to dismiss anything for being contrived. for me all the supplemental shorts were like broccoli to get to the rocky & bullwinkle dessert, but peabody & s-man always felt like the best of those to me.

i definitely need to revisit this stuff with ~adult eyes~
oh, i did not become militantly anti-peabody until i was an adult. fair.
i usually only see r&b these days when i visit my parents, when my dad and i generally settle in for one or two sessions per visit. between segments we hold efficient and informed quorums re: whether or not this next one should be skipped. my mom rolls her eyes in a different room.
― difficult listening hour, Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:19 (thirteen years ago) link
i know the animation gets knocked a lot but R&B are among my favorite character designs ever, i could stare at this all day:

and the bumper where they grow in the ground like flowers... how did they even think of that??? that's just flat out brilliant animation.
― ℳℴℯ ❤\(◕‿◕✿ (Princess TamTam), Thursday, 17 March 2011 02:20 (thirteen years ago) link
haha thats great
bullwinkle appreciation was definitely a thing that was passed onto me by my dad. he'd take me to the bar with him when i was like 5 and i'd sit around drawing bullwinkles for hours and then the bartender would stick them on the beer fridge.

the internet went down in the middle of this important conversation and it became a housewide crisis involving 4 of the 6 residents standing around behind each others' shoulders saying HEY TRY CLICKING THAT but i'm back and here is the post i saved in a text file before rebooting my computer:
r&b always has great design, like all four of the main characters are just perfect and expressive and awesome, and i love things like the two opposing mirrored short/tall duos, and the flower bumper, and Fearless Leader's scarred wedge-head, but the actual animation was i believe farmed hurriedly out to a mexican studio and done really cheaply and last-minute and without a lot of communication and that's why it's always weird and distorted and has demented perspective and fucked-up colors and lacks any kind of consistency from episode to episode. but then that mirrors the plot; that is kind of its whole charm. so yeah i love it.
