re: media question 

@Austin_Dern That reminds me, there's a full episode of Spike Milligan's Q5 out there-- the show that legendarily made John Cleese afraid Python had been beaten to the punch-- and I still haven't sat down with it.

@xinjinmeng @Phorm My term for that sort of ADR trickery is "falling down into some butterscotch."

re: media question 

@xinjinmeng @Phorm Wow, I think you've just called out about 70-80% of my favorite neo-noirs and "prestige" dramas...

re: media question 

@KinkyTurtle "What did we learn, Palmer?" I should watch that one again, it's one of the few Coen Bros. films I haven't seen multiple times.

re: media question 

@Austin_Dern Oh, I've heard of the Bed-Sitting Room, never seen it!

media question 

What would you consider the most "difficult" comedy you've ever watched, for any given definition of "difficult" or "comedy?"

(I'm thinking about the subject because I'm about to start my fourth attempt to get into The League of Gentlemen's "Psychoville." It's one of those series that I keep hearing is rewarding but makes itself real difficult to love...)

very silly reference to someone else's toot; shitpost; uspol; wes anderson; comedy violence against fashies 

the life aquatic with steve bannon

it's... it's just a 90 minute video of steven bannon getting waterboarded

^_______________^

but it's still directed by wes anderson

@hystericempress I... I'm like a cross between Gene Belcher, Buster Bluth, and Dwight Schrute. D: But at least I'm aware of it!

pfaf but absolutely godawful 

*sigh*

(found this on a reddit thread about bootleg reddy kilowatt art. they were absolutely convinced the one where he has a switchblade was [a] authentic [b] targeted at kids because the 70s were just that dark y'all)

@Leucrotta my brain keeps wanting to transition from this tweet to crispin glover's legendary rant as he nearly booted david letterman n.n;

@Leucrotta Which reminds me that I have the ENTIRE FUCKING SERIES RUN of the Frantics radio show and really should figure out somewhere to dump them someday.

They are very very... Canadian, which is to say very mild and middle of the road and much of it has not aged well at all. But there is some quality Ti Kwan Leep-grade material.

re: personal heroes, song(?), nostalgia, the new wave 

also i feel that

"Close your eyes! (OK)
Now imagine you're at the most wonderful party. (OK)
Delicious food. (Uh huh.)
Interesting people. (Mm hmm.)
Terrific music. (Mn hmmh.)
Now open them! (Oh no.)
Well, I just want to go home now and walk the dog."

is a pretty good koan

foodcrime, shitpost nobody will get or care about 

I have just eaten a very large amount of tuna salad and Irish cheddar on sourdogh, and I am very pleased about it. Gil Faizan and George St. Geegland got nothin' on me.

mst3k, music 

OK, I may have said this before, but this is actually a hell of a good classic Motown track, especially given how awful Catalina Caper was...

(The singer, Mary Wells, was actually a pretty damn credible vocalist. I think her biggest hit was "My Guy?")

While you create a better world for all, try not to simply recreate the same unjustified hierarchy with a different set of people in charge.
