Yup it’s dumb fun. That’s it. That’s why it’s my guilty pleasure. I’m in no way a better person for having watched it and it has the depth of a shallow puddle, but I get several giggles when I watch. One thing I’d disagree with you though is Rose McIver isn’t a bad actress (she did a solid turn in iZombie and other shows) and she can charming but the character of Sam is under written I’d agree.
The US Ghosts is so stupid… and so fun. I can’t get enough of Hetty and her gilded age “I’m rich and you’re not” attitude and her love of cocaine.
I’m very disappointed by the lack of ‘The Middleman’ here. A very fun show with a very spunky Natalie Morales. Based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine, but the best part was that Javier Grillo-Marxuach was the show runner so it really didn’t lose that crazy fun factor of comic books nuttiness. Seriously rock eating aliens, zombie flying fish, boy bands trying to take over the world. It only got 12 Episodes and it’s still got 100% on rotten tomatoes and even over an 8 on IMDb.
Where I live the commercial TV evening news shows are completely Murdoc level conservative trash. I still watch them I guess.
One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.
You know most people don’t need two comments to up vote “Office Space”
Yeah his buddies from DOD’s PR and from the NSA. /s Yeah I’d believe that the whole novel really reminded me of a YouTube of some war games.
My second favourite crazy conspiracy theory is that Tom Clancy didn’t really exist and that he was the front man for the CIA’s public relations office. Red Storm especially leads this as the whole novel reads like someone took a high level war game and tried to make a novelisation out of it.

The Middleman! It was 1 hour comedy that played on ABC Family that sadly got canceled after its first season. It was a farcical take on the super spy genre based off the comic books of the same name with Matt Kessler and Natalie freaking Morales. Vampire Ventriloquist Dummies, Zombie Flying Fish, and all Alien Boy Bands. It’s a hilarious send up spy and comic book tropes.
Do I wish I mined bitcoin when it was cheap and easy? Or bought Apple stock just before the first iPhone? Or just not stuck my dick in the crazy? Sure I wish I knew then what I know but that’s just the road not taken.
Have I fucked shit up and hurt people I wish I hadn’t? Of course I’m human, but each mistake that broke me also made me put myself back together and I like to think that like a piece of Kitsuni art the remade pieces of me are better then they were before.
But maybe I’m an optimist and like to think that everyone is a work in progress and most choose to be better as they go along, including myself.
Yeah, I’m ME. That about covers it for me.
I think the writers on Ted Lasso got it pitch perfect with Jamie saying “Why would I want to be anything else, I’m me.”
It was a quote that I read on lemmy. Someone was talking about dealing with suicidal thoughts and he asked his friend why he shouldn’t kill himself. His friend thought for a minute and then looked at him and said “Mornings are pretty nice.”
It was at that point he realised he shouldn’t be looking for some great reason for some great reason for life and instead just be.
Mornings are pretty nice.
I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.
Bad Monkey. I’m only two episodes in but I’m digging it. Funny that I don’t normally like Vince Vaughn but he’s working it and he’s just the right touch.
Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays
I know! Those 3 line are god damn masterpiece in screenwriting. I guess I just got lucky
No but the kind of chicks who’d double up on a guy like me do.
