“Happy Birthday Baby!” Talk about Russian Doll on Netflix

https://www.thecut.com/2019/02/interview-with-rebecca-henderson-lizzie-on-russian-doll.html

This was very good, but I want to vociferously complain about the flatly inaccurate code review scene. Group code reviews, who ever has heard of such a thing!

are you being sarcastic or

if it’s wrong i hope it was a deliberate nerd annoying move

Not sarcastic. Doesn't matter though.

I AM NOT A NERD.

sounds like something a nerd would say

Someone with the d/n "Zelda: Broth of the Wild" is definitely not a nerd.

I’ve done group code reviews and also been the one doing “oh shit you’re right I can fix that” typing in the middle of the meeting

no need to guess which character I related to

I stand corrected!

I just liked the fact that the word “unit test” was said

The words. Or the word “unittest,” if you like.

I've watched two episodes of this so far and am not reading the rest of the thread in fear of spoilers, but need to know: am I going to be sick of Schmilsson by the time I'm through?

Yes.

No

Nes

Yo.

Look, do you have a heart? If so, this show will not make you sick of Schmilsson.

I've been playing it every morning when my spouse wakes up.

I finished this show a week a ago and definitely still keep getting that song stuck in my head

xp

that seems mean to me

I'm into the Nilsson alarm clock idea

I seriously considered that very thing myself.

There is no song in existence that I would not eventually hate if it played every day as I was waking up

(But then I probably would come to hate the song very quickly so no.)

Ha, yes, that.

He smiles really big when he hears it.

He has a swiss cheese memory so he still forgets that it's going to happen.

on a tangential note, Brad's enthusiasm for "Happy Death Day" on this thread prompted me to watch that one. thanks, Brad!

yeah, i'm taping as it's on today/tomorrow on FX

I had the sensation when watching this that it wasn't Groundhog Day at all but the real feeling of waking up to the same routine every morning and starting to feel like your life was getting repetitious

Just that Nadia died at the end of the day instead of falling asleep

And the rotting fruit and veg is a metaphor for one's own decaying body

I came to this same conclusion! Like all good horror, it's about not really about something imaginary, just the horror of actual everyday experienced slightly displaced so it becomes visible again.

as someone who once set his wife's phone to play "I Got You Babe" when her alarm went off on Groundhog Day, I approve of all Nilsson hijinks.

This show has introduced me to Light Asylum, who is pretty much awesome

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB4qc7y-o60

She's dating Fred Armisen? :/

for the last five years, says google

I know. If any dude defines "punchable face" to me he's up there with Pav1 Dan0.

Gosh - that last post was a grammatical monstrosity.

* For me FA is up there with PD in the "MostvPunchable Face" celeb category.

the last episode of this was lovely. i can't think of many series that nailed the ending like that.

So in the world of this show, does everyone who isn't in therapy have to relive their last day over and over until they find someone else who's in the same situation and convince them that they should have gone to therapy?

Light Asylum is awesome, Shannon was a key participant in The Knife's live show on their most recent tour

gonna drop the name to say I dj'd a party with her (and martin from a certain ratio) and run the risk of being attacked for being a new york scenester. She also used to sing with !!!.

Need a comprehensive list of all the music in season 1

not read the full thread yet but

It had the Promise by When in Rome and so therefore it is perfect.

otm!

In the final episode or two, Alan says a few times that he needs to stop Nadia making harmful decisions or something, but the first time round it's just drunkness/carelessness that causes her to die - as opposed to his decision killing him? but there seems to be a fair bit made of her going home with Mike with no condoms and he clearly shags around so is that supposed to indicate this is a potentially lethal decision? idk just suddenly seemed a bit 'out of nowhere'.

I did notice Alan was the deli guy in ep1, yay me

The engagement ring scene was cool

The rotting fruit (but only on the outside!) / other changes as the loops went on were the creepiest thing, I loved it. And when it's just Maxine at the party and she says 'I can't.' [go with you]. I like the 'saving memory space' idea v much.

Meeting Alan in the elevator was like when they met the tail section guys in Lost lol

.@nlyonne I think I found a way to get that party chicken cooked that fits in perfectly with the storyline. #RussianDoll #Netflix #sweetbirthdaybaby pic.twitter.com/39YwGuysfe
