Started “The Curse”: WTH did I try to watch. Some kind of cringe comedy with guys waving around their giant dicks? Does it get any better after episode one?
It is a sitcom. Reminded me of those videos of the Big Bang theory with the laugh track removed, like somehow it got worse. Gonna try a second episode because I generally love comedy of the absurd and it appears they are trying to map casual social interactions into the absurd, but the first episode came across like it was written by the most unbearable hipster in the history of Williamsburg laughing at everyone for not giving the only allowable response to the most subtle modern social cue.VinylGuy wrote:The Curse is the best tv comedy of last year but it’s also not for everyone. Might be better maybe to catch a sitcom
That’s when it really hits its stride, too.Jorge wrote:Discovered that there's a whole stretch of episodes from the third season of Seinfeld that I'd somehow never seen.
This is wild, as I was convinced I'd already watched the entire show multiple times. Maybe these episodes weren't broadcast in the Latin American reruns I grew up watching?
In any case, this is fucking great, I feel like I just unearthed a hidden treasure, I'm gonna watch em all this weekend

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.

I absolutely love the show and movie. West playing it straight is really what sells it. And the pilot is actually quite serious. Watching the reruns in the 70s when I was a wee lad is probably why I’m such a big Batman fan still today.Farmer John wrote:I definitely am once I get through all 34 episodes of the first season.Ms Harmless wrote:you gotta watch Batman: The Movie after that!oasisfan35 wrote:Farmer John wrote:I’ve been working my way through the 1960s Batman TV series and thoroughly enjoying it.
