OT: Let's talk about Movies and TV Shows, Part XXXI (now rated PG)

[GoodKiwi]

Can't remember when I last created one of these (threads in general) and the last one is well over 1,000 replies.

OT: - Let's talk about Movies and TV Shows, Part XXX (...how can this possibly go wrong)

Last thread was a tad over 1000 posts. So let's start this a repost of my take on (...of all things) Wild Things. It's probably gonna age superbly. ----- I just watched a great piece of art that I had somehow missed in my teen years. This was ... not as "so bad it's good" as what I've been...

This caught me by surprise. Leaving after only 7 years on the job (most comedy show guys have longer tenures). He didn’t announce a date yet:



Late night landscape will change, hopefully for the better. James Corden is unbearable but thankfully he’ll be gone after this season:



Bring back Craig Ferguson!

Bring back Craig Ferguson!

Yes!

This was initially scheduled to be a Disney+ series, but it has been changed to be a movie instead.

I bet they'll use it to introduce an older and teenage Morgan Stark who will eventually replace her father.

Possible.

They will also introduce Iron Heart in Black Panther and she will have her own series before Armor Wars. So she will be in there.

There is also a report that what happens in Secret Invasion will play a role in Armor Wars. Cheadle is in Secret Invasion also.

Champion is now due out in 2023 and I'm predicting it's going to be either a major sucess or it'll bomb to something like 30's on RT. Just the feeling I get.

The hype isn't building yet (not in NA), but anticipation is strong. UK publications, bloggers and just fans are putting it at the top of their lists in drowes.

Not my ype of a show at all, but, darn, I'm very intrigued. It's supposed to be like sitting on a couch and watching their lives unfold, good, bad, music and all. That's what they all say (critics). THe cast supposedly doesn't act - they're just those people - whatever that means.

Fingers crossed, certainly very unique thing whether bad or great. Don't think it'll be in the middle, just a feeling.

I suspect ir got pushed back and might be again cause the crew is having "too much fun".

The only "trailer" that exists is....I don't f***ing have a clue what it is. If you can find it, it's burried on some obscure website.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that Robert Aramayo played both young Ned Stark and now young Elrond in Rings of Power?

It's like some weird reality where he can grow-up to look like either Hugo Weaving or Sean Bean.

Don't get me wrong, he's a fine actor who fits in the role of Elrond.

Does anyone watch late night talk shows anymore?

I used to watch conan regularly back when he was on nbc, but I don't know anyone from the newer generation that actually watches this stuff.

They’re available on demand, the best segments from most late night shows are posted online soon after they’re aired or you can record them. There is really no need to stay up late if one doesn’t feel like it.

I haven't heard of late night talk shows being a topic of conversation for years especially among young people, no matter if they are watching live or on demand.

I know their bits get a good number of hits online, but it's kind of like Nickelback music. They are getting alot of hits but you can't find anyone that actually consumes their product.

I don’t know what their ratings are but Kimmel just got renewed on a big 3-year deal. It’d be interesting to see how the late night hosts’ demographics are divvied up.

There may also be a fatigue element coupled with the wide emergence of on demand platforms, of which late night shows form a small source of content relative to a wide array of choices out there.

Letterman in his hey day, was innovative and goofy and played to a large audience of college and university students. He also only played on TV and students typically stayed up late.

Today, someone like John Oliver combining smart, entertaining, in depth commentary and quick wit, and who is only on once a week, provides much greater appeal than most late night shows whose formula is based on recycling the same celebrity guests and politicos making their rounds and promoting product.

The younger demographic has moved away from TV and consumes its entertainment online, so it’s not just late night shows that are no longer front and center, it’s about other platforms and their readily available, vast source of content.

Yeah the way you describe letterman, it sounds like conan in the 2000s. He did well with the college demo.

Cassian Anbore or is it?

The first 2 episodes were a bit hard to watch. With the many flashbacks happening, it was a bit tough to follow through Cassian's backstory.. but it finally picked up as the 3rd episode went on. Now, with the 4th episode in, it really looks like a proper show: no fan service. Coming from as a writer of Rogue One, you definitely see the same vibe happening in this series. It's gritty, dark and there's nothing humorous about it. I like it!

my buddy would play them at work off of YouTube. Colbert, Kimmel and Noah. None of them are funny. Same with Seth Meyers.

All of these guys depend on writers for their material — maybe they’re all overly relying on the same types of bits and joke writing?

Which show host is really funny right now? Mind you, that is also a very subjective question. If I want funny, I look to standups rather than late night shows.

The late show people like Colbert are at their best when they go off script. Colbert is smart, well read and is excellent with repartee. It’s a different kind of entertainment than just comedy.

I enjoy the type of comedy bits that Bill Maher produces — yes, there’s a political slant to some of it that I don’t care about but his material is well crafted. John Oliver is another with great comedic output relative to the serious and informative topics he tackles.

However, none of the above beats a good stand up. Right now, this is the kind of comic that has me laughing. A TV sportscaster who gave it all up to pursue comedy:

Schroeder was gay, he hated all girls, had eyes for Linus. Take it from someone who knows.

Gilligan and the captain? Do you see now our imagination and apply these twisted ideas to every character we knew when tv shows were innocent?
