And when it arrived, they actually had a second copy that was kind stuck to it. So I ended up taking the second copy back to the store and said I didn't want it, so I got a store refund and used that money to buy something else. Really is surprising just how many hit songs are on that first album. They'll never be able to top that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But when you think about it, they're tried to recreate the sound in the following albums since. They've kind of turned it formulaic even though they have some solid songs in there. Dustland Fairytale, For Reasons Unknown, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Skywalker 528 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Just watched Irrational Man (2015) with Joaquin Phoenix as Abe. Emma Watson was his boyfriend for a little while. Abe was saying how things worked by chance but the whole idea of Abe dying by tripping on the light that he won for her at the carnival was too perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Teh_Diplomat 2,054 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'm watching this sketch show called Lunatics on Netflix, and wtf it's so absurd it's actually funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That guy has had several different shows on HBO. I think the one I watched a little here and there was J'aime. And this guy just plays characters that he has no business playing. J'aime was a show in which he plays a teenage girl going to an upscale boarding school in the UK. The main joke is how everybody on the show just plays it straight, and they see this 40-year old guy playing a 15 year old bratty girl. And then there's dark comedy on top of that, because she does stupid shit and is very mean to people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmaltese★ 2,572 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Watched first 3 eps of Black Summer and it is actually pretty good. Interesting take to focus a lot less on plot or narrative and just on the really simple basic things you'd have to do in a zombie apocalypse. Ep2 was basically just about 3 ppl needing to drive through town and ep3 simply about finding shelter for a day in a school yet both were tense af and really well made. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, and it's not really an issue of people being idiots. It's the constant repetition of people being idiots in a very specific way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Skywalker 528 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Watched Chernobyl. Haha, they kept denying that it exploded. The meter's were blowing up going off the charts and they still denied it. Everyone is dying, too; or getting really sick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,231 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Yeah, i watched like the latter 2/3's of the first episode. You're literally watching a scene of a couple of people who walk around a corner and see the blown core, and you know that those are dead people. They know they're dead. This show is going to have to most on-screen vomiting and profuse nasal bleeding ever. Its going to be a downer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
