Gilbert Gottfried clips.

A few of them were made in response to his death... I don't think he'd care for some of the corny background music being played over them, lol.

Kind of strange in this culture... he never really was "cancelled" despite making a lot of racial and very black humor jokes. He laughed when other people died, yet few laughed when he died.

Jesus Christ Superstar 2012

Lords of Choas...

Man... that stabbing scene was extremely long and awkward. I don't know... might be a more realistic depiction of a stabbing than you typically see in films.

The film was a little better than I thought. Although seeing Varg Vikernes on YouTube and how he's portrayed in the film... I'm not buying it. He certainly has issues, but he also has a good sense of humor and isn't serious all the time.

Some reason I'm starting to get into Seinfeld.. despite not liking the show for most of my life.

There are much funnier shows out there.. but I do love how all the story lines are often consistent and pop up in future episodes and even seasons. Feels like there is an actual universe there, and that actions do have some sort of consequence. With most sitcoms reverting back to normal once the episode ends.

Seinfeld is pretty funny and has a relaxing, lighthearted atmosphere.

For a sitcom I think it can get quite dark at times, with characters actually dying. I do like how the specifically did not want to have any moral lessons in the show. Kind of has an apathetic postmodern vibe behind it. They never learn anything, life just happens. Especially in contrast to the cheesiness of sitcoms at the time.

Seinfeld also probably has the best finale for any sitcom I have ever seen, with all of them ending up being sentenced to prison, lol.

in ten minutes, "This Is Us"

 

[MehGuy]

A Bug's Life. I haven't seen this film in years. Yet every scene brings back a lot of memories and I still remember all the settle cues in it. The second Pixar movie ever made, and it still has a lot of the same charm the original Toy Story had. Sadly, that's gone with modern Pixar.

Just watched the trailer for the new Beavis And Butthead movie. A little surprising, unless the trailer is really misleading. Didn't expect time travel to be an element of this series. Unless it turns out to be all a dream.. or just something that isn't cannon at all.

The philosophy of the show was to try to be low key and down to earth. I really didn't care for the revival of the show ten years ago, so my hopes are not that high. I guess I don't quite know what to think of the trailer. Just seems like it's going down a path where they don't know what to do with the characters anymore.. so they'll just go all out with the storyline.

I don't know anything about that.

At least to be fair, the early seasons of Beavis And Butthead was less grounded and had more outlandish things happening. Like the episode where the Roman God Of Feces appeared at a monster truck show, lol. Probably a real God too since they seemed to have a God for everything back then.

I don't like the new animation either in the trailer. I just wish they could recreate the 1990s aesthetic again. The voices are a little iffy too.

 

[MehGuy]

I imagine they could use computer AI to make the voices sound like they used too.

I'll still watch it, but I think creators need to learn to let things go. Especially the Simpsons... that show's been a turd since like 1998... and it's still going on. It's not just TV.. even actors like Harrison Ford who's in his 70s is going to be in a new Indiana Jones movie. Cher and Madonna still dress like teenagers despite being in their 70s. A few weeks ago I saw a magazine cover at a store claiming that Helen Mirren is a hot woman at 76 or whatever. That's just ridiculous for the average man who doesn't have a fetish for grannies.

That's just the Baby Boomers mind you, I know my generation will probably be a lot worse about this kind of stuff.
