Thanks for rec, that was a fun show.

My TV-watching attention span has contracted so firmly into one-hour blocks that even the thought of watching a two-hour movie is horrifying.

That’s kind of me. The only movie. I have seen lately is Oppenheimer and it took at least two sessions to watch it all. I just can’t sit still and focus on tv/movies. I end up watching trash tv that I don’t have to focus on while I do other things.

The Crew’s latest episode starts off with the finale to The Curse.

Worthless Curb for the second straight week, but the closing credits were pretty great.

Re: The Bear. I’m very surprised that everyone has been talking about Forks and not Fishes. Fishes to me was a masterpiece which completely ties the show together.

Yeah, Forks doesnt work the same way without Fishes.

Fishes is probably less recognized because its so damn chaotic and stressful, and Forks is a triumph. In general, people are going to look more fondly on the latter than the former no matter how much of a masterpiece the former is (and it is, it should win all of the guest actor awards.)

These were my thoughts on Fishes at the time fwiw

Same, very entertaining and didn’t like the movie.

Fishes was the Christmas gathering episode right? I thought that most people were talking about that one

I posted about it at the time, but Fishes hit me right in the gut and I could only watch it in bits.

I loved it but i like watching mayhem, chaos and uncomfortable confrontations. Maybe because my personality is the complete opposite of all that.

Episode 5 of Shogun was good

Wtf was Blackthorne trying to do with the pheasant?

enjoying him completely judgmental of their cultural norms but completely ignorant of the stupid things in his own culture. I could have used another episode or two of pillowing before the old bag of a husband showed back up.
