TV 19 - Simpsons Did It

[Kepler]

Watching Lucifer for the plot again, and by plot, I mean Lauren German and Lesley Ann Brandt.

I'm straight and even I know the only reason to watch Lucifer.

BS High on HBO/MAX is worth a watch, especially if you have an interest in sports and the money associated with sports. It's an hour and a half documentary on the Bishop Sycamore "fake high school" fiasco from a few years ago. It has a sociopath and brazen criminal as its centerpiece and principal talking head, which makes for an interesting character study. However, I can't help but thinking that it could have benefited from a more experienced and talented filmmaker, like Alex Gibney.

I disagree. The story is bananas and the documentary worked best being film in a less polished way. I felt like I was one of his players as I watched.

And yeah that coach is a sociopath. The principal is either a complete moron or a full enabler.

I didn’t watch Rebels, so I was initially thrown off by a subdued, wise Ahsoka.

Interesting. Most of the clips I've seen look atrocious. Obi Wan bad. The fight scenes in particular looked really bad.

i can't put my finger on why this looks so bad (the grey to start with) but it must be something to do with the perspective on the green screen. It just seems really flat and obvious it's on a green screen. Which is something I can't really remember being so bad with any of the Star Wars media.

I think what makes it worse is the slowness and mediocre choreography. It allows your eyes to wander and brain to recognize these flaws. They're probably there in mando and other series but they're executed better so you don't have the chance to see and digest them unless you're actively looking.

Obi-Wan was horrible and my son (the much bigger SW fan) agreed. He has been more complimentary of Ahsoka which gives me hope that it won't suck.

I thought Obi-Wan was great and all of it is in the same mold as Mandalorian.

Lawyers gonna lawyer it. ;-)

Not liking it is one thing, even if it reflects poorly on one's taste, because obviously nothing is everyone's cup of tea. There are people out there who hate the Godfather or Shawshank or MASH, for instance. They're all wrong, of course, and showing signs of genetic defects or other impairments, but no one's perfect.

What is getting you the reaction you're getting is calling it "awful," which implies more than personally subjective distaste.

This is a troll right?

The latest Star Wars offering on Disney+ (Ahsoka) may be the best thing they've ever done. Already. Don't screw it up.

Good Lord. None of you have ever disliked a show that other people you know liked?

But this does not excuse his bad take, which is the real crime here.

[MissThundercat]

Noted. I'll back off.

Sure, Mr. "I'm So Hip and Edgy Because I Don't Like What All Of You Like."

Come on MT - we haven't shared enough music between us etc., to avoid this kind of bit? I'm not insulting anyone's mother here.
