Artie bucco gets hit by a fountain drink and runs and locks himself in the car
@yeso reports say he returned to the scene of the protest hours later asking âque câest que câest? message machine broken?â
@MoH another thing i really love is when tony goes what am i, a fuckin toxic person or somethin?
Lmao I kinda thought you were paraphrasing here
@MegaSigil I actually find all the human drama and performances in this probably more compelling than anything in the actual films in the MonsterVerse but if there is some kind of central idea or viewpoint being communicated by the story those performances are telling, Iâm not exactly sure what it is.
This was dismissive and I take it back. Itâs about people sacrificing relationships with their children in service to their careers, perpetuating cycles of loneliness and obsession from one generation to the next. Most of the time. Thereâs one character whose arc mostly seems to be about setting up that ||someday an evil corporation will create Mechagodzilla.||
Watched the last episode. I sure like that Kurt Russell.
@Gaagaagiins sometimes itâs about joyfully participating in the sorrows of the world

Just burst out laughing at Chris Moltisanti saying a Muslim criminal associate of his canât be a member of Al-Qaeda because his family owns an English Springer Spaniel. They really wrote the hell out of this show

My partner and I watched the show for the first time not that long ago and we screamed like coyotes when we saw him. I lunged at the TV

Keep that killer instinct against Lin Manuel Miranda cameos honed⌠you never know when you might need it (well I guess you can know by looking over his filmography, but that would require navigating to his wikipedia page, which you are clearly above having to do)

having some trouble with Shogun because the main english guy looks and also talks a bit like Peter Oâhanraha-hanrahan and itâs distracting

Unfortunately, the pen is kinda undeniable on this one. Thereâs some really good writing here. I was very resistant to watching it for years bc the Lena Dunham-ness of it all, but every gay person I know online decided to watch the show over the past couple months and the inertia of that finally got to me.
Incredibly solid first season. Iâm on the fifth season now and over time Iâve developed more quibbles with it (two of the titular Girls are pretty underwritten compared to the other two, which I think the show is lesser for) but itâs been a very pleasant watch overall. I also liked this Jia Tolentino article describing her similar feelings toward the show before and after watching it

I say this with love and no small amount of self awareness that I am a pot calling the kettle black, but, do you have any normal interests?
P.S. - I am actually just jealous that I havenât gotten into Alan Partridge yet, Coogan has done no wrongâwait, I better check to make sure he hasnât fallen from grace and succumbed to the Labor Right anti-woke TERF mind virus in that farcical ass countryâalright, looks like weâre in the clear there

Sorry folks, The Wire is ultimately still better than The Sopranos, in my opinion

what makes you think so
Probably just a preference thing for me. The Wire is more concerned narratively with social and civil issues and I find that more zoomed out approach more interesting.
The Wire doesnât have a Gandolfini though, Iâll say that

Itâs fascinating to hear that Girls is doing the rounds right nowâI was 25 when it came out and my friends and I were absolutely enraptured because it felt shockingly, startlingly true to our lived experience in a way that shows centered around women had never been for us (us being twenty-something white women like the main cast) before.
And then the rest of the culture seemed to firebomb the show into rubble in service ofâŚIâm still not quite sure.
Itâs nice to see that itâs getting a bit of a re-evaluation!
