Superhero movies for sure would be better off if they landed in the 90-100 min range more often. I’m all for occasional overblown, indulgent exceptions (sometimes it’s charming when people get carried away with their cape shit), but the average not being under two hours is criminal.
I forget what it was years ago but I remember I said something pretty innocuous and he led a pages-long argument with other people while I was asleep or something and then he self-banished himself for a while.
1) Over an hour for a show is too long. I get letting the writing dictate the length, but it's allowing far too much bloat and poor pacing to creep in. Having said that, I'm probably hypocritical and dislike it more when it's a show I'm lukewarm on. If one of my favorite shows (ALA the last of us) decided to make a mega episode, I'd be more okay with it but probably still objectively think it was too long if i was being honest. 2) Friends / family can ask to try whatever I order and I'm even okay if it's by playing that 'weird' game of 'ohhh that looks really good'... 'okay, you can have some'... 'nooo.... are you sure?'... 'Yes, just have some'. 1A) But seriously, I'll be so annoyed if stranger things pulls the nonsense they did in the last season. You're writing a show. Learn how to structure and pace it so you don't have to give us a couple of mammoth episodes. 3) People need to get on board with animation and quit letting that be a barrier to entry. So many of my favorite shows of late, and favorite story telling has happened via animation and I get annoyed when people just make blanket statements like 'I don't do animation'.
I get it not being a prominent genre for a lot of people, but say that a show blows up and everyone was like yeahh... it's dope! watch it. Would you still be like ehhh but animation?
for some reason animated shows don’t hold my attention. I tried to watch bojack and just could not pay attention. Animated movies I’m fine with though. I don’t know, my brain bad.
a couple of years ago we tried to watch Archer and after a few seasons I was like ehhhh okay haven't ever tried Bojack
Going right at one of my favorite shows but eh. I don't do a lot of genres that are popular (can't get invested in true crime or documentary) so in the end to each their own. But I have watched some real bangers lately that I have few people to talk to them about (Castlevania / Pluto / Scavengers Reign / Invincible / Blue eye Samurai) so my opinion was born on people not taking my recommendations and missing out on some quality stuff.
Bluey is good, but not good enough for people to be absolute freaks about it. But also better than the dorks who are shitting on people for enjoying it. It’s a better than average children’s show that I would not watch if I did not have a child.
Bluey is for kids, and their parents. Although it is a great show at that but I would not expect people not in that stage of life to enjoy it at all
This is what I think about any time someone recommends me something that seems likely good, but that I’m not immediately compelled to check out. I have a finite number of hours before my time on this earth wraps up. I’m at peace with there being lots of dope ass shit that I simply never get around to, because I was enjoying what appealed to my whims in that moment.
im sure bluey is fine but i am going to postpone my daughter starting to watch it as long as humanly possible bc I know once she starts it'll always be on. i need some time to watch basketball.
i just polled my coworkers (2 men 2 women 23-29yo) and they agreed that they would not just ask, unless very close or a particularly shareable food (fry). puts the person being asked in an awkward spot. but the “dance” is valid. yeah im bringing it back up
Also, can we get a consensus on this? Because when this started I gave the example of my family and then my boss and co-worker, and no one liked either. Now all of a sudden people are open to family. You guys should realize I never said to do this with total strangers, so where is the actual line?
