asian dramas and bollywood are where its at
Better call Saul is peak
I watched the first two seasons and I just found it too mean-spirited. The writing itself felt misanthropic and sadistic, like it made characters suffer just for the sake of it. It was misery porn.
I don't know that I'd agree but then again I read the comics and they're even worse in this regard so maybe I just think the show is better by comparison.
Regardless what one thinks of the Boys shows. The Boys comic is imho WORSE. I really enjoy edgy stuff and the comic is really just all edge and no point.
pizza cutter
To be honest I haven't watched them since they came out so I can't remember too well
Ulysses-ass thread 😂
Not enough 
:ok: 
and I can't remember what other emoji he loved to use
Joss is weird coz how did you go from Buffy to that bro. Then again I learned that Dolly Parton secretly helped produce Buffy so maybe Joss wasnt as big a part of its success as it may seem
I forgot to mention Sister Sage. Smartest person on the world "Love is not logical" SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO BACK TO WRITING FOR ABSOLUTE BABIES WHO ARE WRITING FOR THE FIRST TIME 101 WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF THOUGHTLESS CLICHE SHIT IS THIS STICK YOUR HEAD IN A BARREL FULL OF MOLLASSES AND DON'T TAKE IT OUT UNTIL YOU'RE DEAD FROM DROWNING IN THE BARREL FULL OF MOLASSES <- That was less tryhard than the most well-written line this season. I need them to know they suck. I need to know who it is that has written these lines so I can find them and make them understand that they should never write anything ever again. I need to bring back Marx from the dead and make him a sloplord so he can be as mad about this as I am and then write a scathing blog titled something like "the Boys - a juvenile load" I don't know I'm not Marx I'm not snarky enough.
Summer is only beautiful when you know winter is coming 
I fucking hate the "being immortal sucks" trope. Once saw a sketch I've been searching for since: guy gets immortality and does not regret it because there is so much beauty in the world.
summer fucken sucks, too much road work.
Its honestly impressive how they made the show worst than the cómic by this point, all thanks to seasonal rot and being scared of character and plot development until the very end
It's Return of the Jedi all over again.
Vader: Go, my son. Leave me.
Luke: No. You're coming with me. I can't leave you here. I've got to save you!
Vader: You already have, Luke. You were right about me. Tell your sister you were right.
Luke: Father! I won't leave you!
Vader: *dies*
[Cue Imperial March leitmotif on a harp]
At least they didn't literally say "No, YOU saved ME" with that intonation. The scene is super common, which is what it is, but literally doing those specific lines like what are we even on?
My favorite part of this slop show is the "Frenchie and Kimiko have a couple's spat every season but it all works out in the end". I literally fast forwarded through every Frenchie/Kimiko scene in episode 3 & 4 when I first watched it to see if I would lose anything and no lol.
Frenchie/Kimiko arguments are actually funny though, because they always wanna say something about relationships in general, but because Kimiko started out as an adaption of The Female it is incredibly silly. Like you'll have Frenchie being controlling because he won't let Kimiko make her own choices, and Kimiko's choices are being a mafia hitman and using the proceeds to buy gaudy jewellery.
And because the writers can't decide what to do they've flip flopped on every single position the two have held, and tried to subvert the Frenchie/The Female retirement plan from the comics in like three different ways.

After watching today's episode 
the slop made for babies and losers which was grotesque and looked cheap from the very first episode turned out to be bad? i am shocked.
I thought it was quite good for the first two seasons and decent for the third. I'm sorry to hear that makes me a loser.
it's okay, could be that you're just a baby ;P
I was irritated at how in every episode this season they seemed to be obsessed with finding a "clever" way to describe a bad smell.
There's one more episode of this slop and I'm too committed to give up on it now let me have my slop 
It started getting worse around season 3 so this brief internet search tells me I should start with either Paul or Jessica. I'm going to start with Paul, because who the fuck has the last name Grellong? Sounds like the lesser monster in an icelandic saga. Sounds like some sort of local variant of the hotdog. Sounds like a sex act that got banned in Texas in the '80s.
Sounds like a brand of automobile you'd never see outside of Kosovo. Sounds like a geographical feature. Sounds like an old diagnosis for a specific type of autism. Sounds like something that lies between the prostate and lumbago.
Following this reddit post David Reed is up next. He's got a decent last name though, shame he didn't become an anti-rockstacking activist.
After that I'm going after Judalina, also for name-based reasons.

The plot is what it is. It's nothing great, nothing terrible. Kinda stupid, what was up with bringing back black Noir and Soldier boy and so on? But in the whole it's not complete dogshit. The dialogue in every scene though? What the fuck. Who writes this shit?
I like Taylor Sheridan's works. 
Tulsa King?
I haven't seen that one. I didn't realize that was Sheridan! I've seen most of Yellowstone, but especially enjoyed 1883. I've also seen the first season of Landman and Sicario. Landman was hilarious and Josh Brolin played a CIA removed you love to hate in Sicario.
Sicario is pretty good. The rest of it doesn't do anything for me. Feels kind of like a boomers fantasy. I've seen a good video essay about the decline of Taylor Sheridan, if you're interested
Sicario might be the only thing of value in his cinematography, and only because it just portrays agents of empire as the monsters that they are, in the hopes that you think they're cool and not hateful.
