Yeah re-enactments in general are unbearable. when "the family" went international is where i almost lost my mind -- i keep coming back to the phrase "nonconsensual diplomacy" and having waking nightmares thinking about it :(
so yeah i guess i would recommend it because it's real and monumentally fucked up

I was going back and forth between 20 minutes of The Family and 20 minutes of K Burns Vietnam doc here and there and that was probably not the best idea.

oh my GODrapidly cycling waking nightmarethe vietnam doc was excellent though, i'd recommend that to anyone

It's very good. I was watching them back to back to really amp up my distrust of white men.

i blew through all 4 seasons of Schitts Creek last week and onto s5 on demand - i’m so in love

It's the best show (haven't seen season 5 yet, still refuse to buy anything on demand)

My wife loves that show (Schitt's Creek)! She keeps prodding me to give it a chance.

weird to see some cbc content break out of the can con ghetto. I've only caught an episode or two but it seems a cut above

at first it seems like just a fish out of water comedy about awful people, which is fine, but it really blooms into something much richer & enjoyable over time. it has really blown me away

I kind of feel like one's taste for ott Chris Elliott plays a role in one's appreciation for this show.

The new Simon Amstell stand-up is excellent.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 9 September 2019 20:02 (four years ago) link
The Schitt's Creek characters all have lovable qualities that bloom over the course of the show's run, which lifts it well beyond its ridiculous premise.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 9 September 2019 20:03 (four years ago) link
cosigning the love for Schitt's Creek, imo once you get past the first few episodes it's all uphill
― sleeve, Tuesday, 10 September 2019 04:55 (four years ago) link
you mean downhill, right?

sorry I meant "increasing in quality" but mangled my metaphors

“Unbelievable” is really good. I’d read the original article on the case that it’s based on so I knew where the story was going but it was still a gripping watch. Toni Collette awesome as usual but I was really impressed by Kaitlyn Dever and Merritt Wever too.
― Roz, Sunday, 15 September 2019 16:42 (four years ago) link
Toni Collette awesome as usual
I think she's very bad but seem to be the only person in the world with this opinion.

finished S1 of schitts creek and I love it but GOD the vet boyfriend and mutt are just charisma voids. granted they have some serious competition but they can't leave the show quick enough to suit me

the bearded dude was one of the worst characterssuch a void!! i continued to find the vet excessively wholesome but that is what this show is about i guess

But one of them is named Mutt Schitt, so a lot to overcome...

wait his last name was Schitt too?!

Has anyone here braved The I Land yet?
Is it so bad it's actually entertaining or just plain terrible?
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 07:08 (four years ago) link
I am on episode 4. It's pretty bad. Everyone is a shitty character making stupid choices although there is kind of a reason for that. And it's Neil Labute! And I could not figure out who this brawny guy was and it was Alex Pettyfer!
― Yerac, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 11:51 (four years ago) link
We are actually bailing on it. I think were about to stop on episode 3 but then ended up doing something else while episode 4 started playing.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 12:06 (four years ago) link
I hate Neil Labute, but your post made me wonder what he's been up to. First, I forgot he made the "Wicker Man" remake! Second, I had not even heard of his last couple of writer/director films, "Some Velvet Morning" and "Dirty Weekend." But! Both of those movies star Alice Eve, who I had never heard of, either, but who I have just learned through wiki has "heterochromia, a condition that causes her eyes to have irises of different colours. Her left eye is blue and her right eye is green." Which caught my, er, eye, because "The I-Land" (which I had also never heard of) stars Kate Bosworth, who for some reason I knew *also* has heterochromia, with a hazel right eye and a blue left eye! Strange coincidence.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 13:17 (four years ago) link
Heh, just noticed: "The Eye-Land!"
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 13:19 (four years ago) link
I hate Neil LaBute too. I think everyone does? I was reading a review of I-land where it has this very otm line "Bosworth makes her scenes something weird and different, like an overheated Tennessee Williams play that nobody else was warned they were participating in. "

I started s6 of Orange Is The New Black but I realised I couldn't remember anything that had happened in the last season and kind of don't care enough to put up with watching that level of cruelty.

It's kind of crazy right? Like the dialogue, the acting, the laziness of what is going on.
