Knowing my mom, it’s definitely not.

Couple episodes into Flight of the Conchords. I’ve heard good things about it before but I didn’t realize it would be this good. Highly recommend.

Murray always cracks me up, great character.
Good time to remember that wife-beating dickhead Bill Murray was such an asshole on the set of Groundhog Day that he and Ramis didn’t speak again until Ramis was on his deathbed.
Aw man Bill Murray is a piece of shit too? Fuck.
He crashes like eight weddings a week. We only hear about the one time people weren’t like GTFO of here Murray, we don’t even like Ghostbusters.
That makes me so sad and sent me on a little digging to familiarize myself. I appreciate you bringing it up.

Apparently on the set of What About Bob? he threw a woman producer into a lake.
That’s just method acting.

Just like boardwalk empire which was a super elite show with a TON of story left but they just super rushed the last season so the creators could focus on a new project smfh

It sounds miserable enough that we can’t really blame Jeremy Piven, the mercury-filled Entourage actor, for valuing that 10 minutes at an alarming rate of $15,000. Lance Bass is only charging $1,250, for fuck’s sake. Sean Astin’s only $600. And while $5,000 still seems high for Brett Favre, it’s not $15,000. Thinking it might be a typo, we reached out to Cameo and were told that, yes, that is absolutely Piven’s rate.
I mean this was literally the plot for how they fake funded Fyre Festival, but Sean Astin is only $295. If we don’t pool our $$$ and get him to send a special message to Unstuck, I’m not sure what we’re doing with our lives.
We could get him to send a video of him saying: “Hey, on behalf of Unstuck, FUCK YOU.” We can make that automatically get sent to anyone we perma-ban.
Bonus: We can also automatically send it to every new registered member lol

Have Sean Astin do the entire rant to the LA city council that ends with “I yield my time, Fuck you” and I’m in

Trolly, did you end up watching this? I am on ep7 and love it. Haven’t raced back for the next episode like this in a while.
Terrific show. They made a brief comeback last year.
Finished Upload on Amazon (my wife started watching it without me - I jumped in during Episode 3-ish, so I just went back and watched the first two like they were prequels).
It’s decent. Definitely got better as it went along. The first few episodes were mostly, “Hey look at all this goofy-ass future shit,” but then it actually got into some more intriguing plot lines. Nice setup for a second season.

I exist on the internet in a weird cultural bubble so I’m generally clueless about whether TV is big in Australia or not, but googling tells me the show averaged about 80,000 viewers, something like Masterchef gets more like a million, for reference. It’s an SBS show, SBS is a government-run channel which generally has the aim of providing multicultural and niche content, like foreign-language films, foreign-language news broadcasts, sports which otherwise wouldn’t get shown, LGBT content, etc. It actually stands for “Special Broadcasting Service” but the old joke was that it’s “Soccer Before Sex” as back in the day it would broadcast a lot of European films etc with the relaxed European attitude to nudity/sex.
Looks like there have been two Adelaide restaurants, Osteria Oggi which I’ve never even heard of, and Africola which I’ve eaten at a few times. I don’t really rate Africola but I have friends who like it.
I like how the RoW still sees Africa as a country.
It’s a South African restaurant. There are some Sudanese and Ethiopian places around. I wish there were more of the latter, Ethiopian food is tops.
I’m going to make a pointless recommendation for what I’ve been watching lately, Callan, an old British spy programme. It’s really excellent and as downbeat and morally grey a piece of television as I’ve seen. It’s more le Carré than the man himself, spying as tawdry manipulation, and even though it debuted in 1967 it is already treating the cold war as a competition between indistinguishable morally bankrupt states.
Most episodes involve the main character, Callan—an ex soldier played superbly by Edward Woodward, who works in ‘security’ because they said they’d kill him otherwise—being given a mission he hates that involves trying to avoid killing an innocent person. That person normally ends up dead whether Callan does it or not. It’s bracingly bleak stuff. Callan’s the only non amoral character but he still spends a lot of time bullying his sidekick, Lonely, a desperate ex con mired in poverty who wants to go straight but can’t.
Anyway, 5 stars, it’s awesome.
