okay but explain Ted Danson

Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Saturday, 4 January 2020 05:14 (four years ago) link

OMG Six Underground is ludicrous trash but the action set pieces (of which there are a TON) are amazing. Pure Michael Bay distillate.

Carole and Tuesday is back but I gave up on it when it turns out Pitchfork is still around.

Don’t @ me but Dracula is pretty good. I watched ep1 last night & enjoyed it immensely

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Sunday, 5 January 2020 23:27 (four years ago) link

some talk in RIP Dracula , mostly by ppl who didn't realise the revive was about the show

I may need someone to explain Ted Danson to me. xpost.

Yerac, Sunday, 5 January 2020 23:59 (four years ago) link

also I still really enjoy Anne with an E. I love the opening a lot.

Yerac, Sunday, 5 January 2020 23:59 (four years ago) link

It's all downhill from ep 1 xpost

thx eeyore

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 6 January 2020 00:12 (four years ago) link

Six Underground's action is amazing coherent for late period Michael Bay

high concept garbage plot, of course

Ryan Reynolds seems to only ever play Ryan Reynolds, in much the same way Tom Cruise only ever plays Tom Cruise.

don’t listen veg, ep 2 is great & has way more Dolly Wells

don't care didn't ask still clappin (sic), Monday, 6 January 2020 01:03 (four years ago) link

xp most definitely! the thing that kills me is movies where Reynolds is supposed to be funny and it’s all based on his vocal inflections, facial tics, and ad libs. he’s not actually funny.

I think Six Underground doesn’t try for a funny Reynolds but merely a somewhat charismatic one, and it’s ok

Netflix is trying to get me to watch this Dracula thing and it’s got a weird tone now that I’m a little ways in

I was not expecting that opening with nuns ending their questioning with: “So, did you fuck Dracula?”

babu frik fan account (mh), Monday, 6 January 2020 01:09 (four years ago) link

ryan reynolds needs to be stopped.

omg Dracula is more corny than Dr Who

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Monday, 6 January 2020 03:33 (four years ago) link

this is where I admit I’ve never seen a full episode of Dr. Who but have tried multiple times, because it just never works for me

This Dracula adaptation is at least horny. Unfortunately , Dracula himself is the least interesting (other than the treat of predation). is that the thing I missed with Who?

babu frik fan account (mh), Monday, 6 January 2020 03:55 (four years ago) link

horniness?

xxposts Yerac Ted Danson was on a very successful sitcom called Cheers and made all the money in the world and now after years of just hanging out and enjoying life he is suddenly performing at the top of his game on The Good Place.

Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 6 January 2020 23:38 (four years ago) link

is he jewish? or not a fine wine? I am so confused.

Yerac, Monday, 6 January 2020 23:42 (four years ago) link

Danson and John Larroquette should have a show together.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Monday, 6 January 2020 23:45 (four years ago) link

Ted Danson is already going to be on the new Tina Fey sitcom, the one that was supposed to be a 30 Rock spinoff.

Yerac, Monday, 6 January 2020 23:47 (four years ago) link

ok i think I see the disconnect.

Me: Talking about Eugene Levy being late in life peak attractive.
silby: jews get more attractive as they age
rogermexico: Ted Danson is doing a lot of good work later in his career (has nothing to do with jewishness or level of attractiveness)

Yerac, Monday, 6 January 2020 23:49 (four years ago) link

Embrace the mystery

Syrian Jesus by Trump's bro Mark Burnett - yikes

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Tuesday, 7 January 2020 01:18 (four years ago) link

Danson high point - George I’m bored to death. (Although very good in the good place as well)

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Tuesday, 7 January 2020 01:39 (four years ago) link

I think Jon Stewart said that Jews age like avocados.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 01:47 (four years ago) link

I loved Bored to Death

Dan S, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 01:50 (four years ago) link

avocados don't age well, they should be refrigerated just as they get ripe

Dan S, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 01:54 (four years ago) link

I did spend a couple of minutes googling if Ted Danson is Jewish. I figured Eugene Levy was because of the characters on the show.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:02 (four years ago) link

I've now decided the logic is sound if, and only if, Ted Danson is a gentile and performing at the top of one's game is indistinguishable from attractiveness.

Alba, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:09 (four years ago) link

Originally, I thought rogermexico was trying to say Ted Danson is jewish and has aged terribly and how do you explain that, silby?

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:11 (four years ago) link

Ted Danson isn’t Jewish, even if there were no other information Edward Danson III is an exceptionally gentile name. (Jews don’t traditionally name their children for living relatives.)

Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:14 (four years ago) link

what i have gleaned is that Ted Danson is an avocado

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:14 (four years ago) link

I should admit that as a nondrinker I have no idea how wine ages, but I hear it’s good.

Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:14 (four years ago) link

I ran into a friend who told me about “don’t fuck with cats” and I’ve got mixed feelings. I like the two sleuths who make up the interview footage so far, but take issue with how much crime footage they show.

It’s also fucking weird because I was in Montreal when the murderer was known but not yet captured, and I am pretty sure I’ve been on the block where the perp’s picture, that led them to that city, was taken. I definitely consider him a weird outer Toronto dude and not a Montreal native though.

babu frik fan account (mh), Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:15 (four years ago) link

xp a silby can have a little wine, as a treat. maybe some port

babu frik fan account (mh), Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:15 (four years ago) link

When I first moved to NYC a couple of my new jewish friends were very surprised I did not know they were jewish when they pointed it out to me. They brought up their last names which I had no clue about. I was like "you just seemed white to me!" They still stayed my friend fortunately.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:19 (four years ago) link

Ted Danson has aged beautifully

Dan S, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:22 (four years ago) link

he is no eugene levy.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:23 (four years ago) link

Eugene Levy has aged beautifully as well

Dan S, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:24 (four years ago) link

It is:

How can a man as old as Eugene Levy be hitting peak attractiveness?

Because he is Jewish

Ah, but it can't just be Jewishness that enables men as old as Eugene Levy to be hitting peak attractiveness because Ted Danson, who is similarly old but not Jewish, pulls off the same trick of being at the top of his game, which, by the way, is just another way of saying he's at peak attractiveness.

Alba, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:25 (four years ago) link

I've only seen a few episodes of Schitt's Creek so far, but Catherine O'Hara's browbeating of the grade school students in the third episode was so great

Dan S, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:28 (four years ago) link

Danson probably would have been peak attractiveness midway through Cheers but ‘80s fashion and hair didn’t do anyone favors.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:28 (four years ago) link

I had originally been speaking about physical attractiveness. Eugene Levy had always been in a Rick Moranis category to me and he somehow went into Clooney mode in his 70s.

Yerac, Tuesday, 7 January 2020 02:29 (four years ago) link

Schitts Creek is so good. Daniel Levy needs to be in everything in the future.
