this trailer is probably the most earth-shattering confluence of my interests since that time paul vehoeven made a movie where isabelle huppert played a designer of violent videogames

saturday morning all star hits really is one of the most absolutely made for me show ever. the combination of kyle mooney’s weird intense sincerity and layered emotional stuff with scott gairdner’s laser focused pop culture obsessions and the weird fourth dimensional energy that ben jones brings to everything he makes is exactly my taste. you know on saturday tv funhouse when the cartoon parodies sort of break down and the characters just sort of sit in their awkward energy for a second, so many of the cartoons on this show are only those parts like that’s the starting point? i am incredibly impressed with the slow rollout of the ridiculous worldbuilding, almost every commercial or movie trailer or toy or snack food you think is a throwaway gag becomes part of the larger tapestry and the more they build this very specific alternate earth the weirder it becomes. also it’s a found footage murder mystery? it’s a lot. i can definitely see people not even wanting to deal with more jokes about cartoons that 30 and 40 year olds watched at this point though

Tried watching Sense8 and it became clear it was absolutely not for a casual one-sitting binge (not the only thing antithetical to Netflix about it)

Instead I am now rewatching The Sarah Silverman Program and laughing my ass off. It’s aged really well too!

i’m watching midnight mass and so far it feels like one of those annoying things where the characters are supposed to represent a range of diverse and interesting viewpoints, but they all talk in the same way which i assume is what the writer’s inner monologue sounds like. all these rhythmic pauses and emphases and stutters which are probably supposed to sound natural but because of their regularity come off as artificial. there’s one character who says fuck and he’s probably the most convincing but it also stands out so much that it makes me wonder how long he’s been the only person on this tiny island who says fuck

i do like that losing itself so much in the flow of dialogue gives you just enough time to forget about the horror, though

yeah i feel like it has a lot of heart but it’s deeply goofy. old mate turns in an engaging performance though

mike flanagan is utterly in love with his own voice, i don’t mind as much as others cuz the Vibes (stephen king but catholic) usually work for me but yeah, he really can’t help himself from making a lot of his characters just read like him trying on their viewpoint not them speaking in their voices

waiting for the flanagan/siegel divorce where it comes out mike just has a kink for seeing his wife read big monologues

I finally started Cobra Kai. I wish it were more about Daniel LaRusso and Johnny trying to overcome their differences to become friendly rivals and less of the teen karate (karateen) drama bullshit.

Karate
Karate will tear us apart
Again

In one episode, two of the Cobra Kais show up on matching Suzuki motorcycles, and then they never appear again. I guess they realized the absurdity of not one but two kids in a violent karate youth gang owning a $13,000 street bike.

The show needs to ditch Kreese, he’s so fucking flat and boring. I’ve been skipping his flashbacks because they’re super predictable. I really hope they’re leading into bringing on Terry Silver, because he’d be a perfect villain for the TV series. He has money, connections, he has no relation to Johnny Lawrence so Daniel would need to play a more active role and they’d need to team up more, which is what I want to see. If they’re not going to play each other’s villain (which would’ve been a lot more fun), then get a villain that can raise the stakes beyond just physically hurting you. It’d be cool to see Terry come back and make Tory his ace, or have Tory become Johnny’s Next Karate Kid, since she seems like they’ve been setting her up to be a Bad Guy Team General-type which means they could have the story go in either direction with her.
