The Righteous Gemstones (HBO)

Ok, the weightlifting scene in the second episode is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

We were both surprised at the reveal at the end.

Baby Billy. Fuck yeah.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[wease]

I have not.

When does season 2 come out?

We’re midway thru Ep6. One thing I’m having a hard time understanding. Why the fuck is Gideon hanging out with this Scotty douchebag? It doesn’t seem that Scotty has something on him that’s making him stay. He sure wouldn’t need Scotty to get back at his family. I just don’t understand this relationship.

[wease]

This is the only show (I’ve watched) I can think of that gives you the nudity warning before it starts and consistently comes through with just penis.

We’re on Ep6 and dongs have been in every episode so far.

just finished ep5 DAMN. Goodman is superb...and i love Walter Goggins here more than in Vice Principals.

Goggins is in Vice Principals? Ok. That’s next.

I think the reason Gemstones resonates so much with me is I know and grew up around so many people just like the characters. Not as financially successful, of course, but the whole southern Baptist branch of the religion. My great-grandfather was a preacher/pastor. I have cousins that are. One of my dad’s best friends growing up became a preacher and it was just everywhere. And even as an adult one county over from where I grew up, there are so many people that would be right at home in this world.

[Strat]

I think gemstones is mcbrides shining star. It has all his humor but there’s more depth to the characters and John Goodman absolutely seals the deal. He’s so good in it.

Eastbound and down is top notch and just absolutely ridiculous.

MY PLUMS!

If we are talking about these guys...we have to discuss The Foot Fist Way.

man, that movie is so fucking awesome. Yeah, its similar to Eastbown and i would say to Vice Principals too in a way.

Gotta have a re watch of everything...such a big fan of these guys.
