Pretty sure he's both. Not sure I like that very much, but so far I consider him to be a vast improvement over most of the alternatives.
It has been a minute since I saw Hannibal. Gina Torres was in that?
Humor is sort of a tension and release situation, like with horror. Awkward situations create a LOT of tension, so it's pretty easy to write a comedy around them, if you're into that. I much prefer sharp (read: pretentious) dialogue or humiliation that isn't doubled-down on or even alleviated by the people around them. The joke at the beginning of this clip feels like a good example of what I mean by that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCAk8NJwrkI
I'm generally fine with it existing - there should be something for every comedy sensibility, besides, of course, humor based on bigotry - but I'm gonna need people to keep making stuff like Ted Lasso or Our Flag Means Death for the rest of us.
Most Bill Lawrence shows seem to avoid it as best they can. Try those.
Flawed people trying to do right by one another, yeah, that's the stuff.
Even then, I don't find it funny, really. Satisfying in some "this is good and correct" sort of way, maybe.
Robert California would have been a solid permanent replacement for Michael, I think.
I was honestly surprised there was anything left for Cerberus to rebuild, since you can clearly see their body starting to enter atmo.
I'm not sure how many people think it's a conspiracy, but I think it's a mindset. They have a tendency to put the onus on the individual to do for themselves, rather than pushing for systemic change. Nothing they've said is incorrect, but there WAS a large media push to force people back to the office after the pandemic was "over."
Jokes that only work in text. Mmm, delicious.
I think it was level 3 that was the first crucible. Scooters, walls to go around or over, and VERY unforgiving timing.
They nerfed the seaweed. Should do damage equal to the attacker's toughness -1. Even if you survived that level, most of the time a stiff breeze would finish the job after.
That's, uh... that's 1:03.
Yep, if you were careful, and judicious in your use of Donnie, you could keep everyone alive to the end by abusing pizzas that were located near exits. You also needed (read: it was strongly-recommended that you stocked up on) scrolls. I say "you," because I sure can't do it. Either my old-ass reflexes are a LOT worse than they were (they are), or the Cowabunga Collection had terrible input-lag.
Dude's wearing noticeable falsies in this movie, too. Hey, guys, it didn't HAVE to be the Rock!
I am OVER toxic positivity. It's just the advice of someone for whom everything has worked out.
Some people still need to travel there for work because they work for people who care not a whit about their safety.
Jeez.
Really? It's like a Zucker Brothers bit.
Easily solved! Just release larger, more aggressive cougars to kill the regular cougars!
Not saying there aren't pro-Airbnb arguments, but that's one of the main reasons people don't like them. And, until regulations like that are iron-clad and widespread, they're really not solving the issue. In this case, iron-clad would mean having a track-record of being visibly and firmly enforced for a long time. People don't really trust such regs not to just... fade away the next time someone's in office who has rich friends that want to increase their property value.
Yeah, nobody gets more bitter than someone whose sucking up didn't work.
It encourages the purchase of investment properties, which is one of the biggest contributors to the housing crisis.
Unless his cats have jobs, then that makes him the designated breadwinner.
Coherence was criminally overlooked.
Agreed. He does have moments where empathy and perceptiveness really shine through, but he has big incel energy for a lot of the series.
I don't care if I'm sleeping in a full suit and tie, no night watchers please.
There is something to that, I think, though my concern tends to be the characters in stories, rather than events. People frequently pattern daily interaction after whoever their favourite character in a story is. That can be a problem if their favourite character is, say, Sherlock Holmes, Perry Cox, Gregory House, or Walter White. The most bombastic characters in fiction tend to be the most popular, and people confuse entertaining for good or correct pretty regularly.
