What are you binge watching?

[ZooCougar]

I never looked at Succession as a comedy.

It's 100 percent a comedy. It's just very dry and black.

Watched a couple episodes of "Butterfly" on Amazon. It's an espionage thriller with Daniel Dae Kim and Piper Perabo. Decent so far, pacing is a bit uneven. Apparently it's based off a graphic novel. I would guess the creators of the show are big fans of the Bourne series. The musical score is very similar. The cinematography, movement of main characters in crowded public areas, some other stuff just feels very much like the Bourne films.

Emmys last night. Not a lot of surprises.

This wasn't a surprise, but I just don't get how Hannah Einbinder wins Best Supporting Actress in a comedy. I like the show, but she is not a good actress. Jean Smart didn't really deserve one either for Lead Actress in a comedy, but the options in that category weren't great. Ayo Edebiri is one of those actors/actresses that I put in the "Patrick Swayze" category, where you aren't sure how good they are, but they are so likable that you just kind of root for them. I am surprised that Charlotte Nicdao has never been nominated for Mythic Quest, because she is perfect for that part.

Episode 1.2 of The Studio, "The Oner" deserved its Emmy for Directing. That is an instant classic of an episode, immediately joining the pantheon of best episodes of a comedy in history.

The fact that Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs and Waltons Goggins all got nominated out of White Lotus shows that the Emmy nomination process has jumped the shark. Lee Pace absolutely deserves a nomination for Foundation. I was wondering if anyone in Landman deserves a nomination. Billy Bob doesn't just chew the scenery in Landman, he eats the whole set, but that show could also completely go off the rails if that character was in the hands of a lesser actor.

Andor should have won for best Drama Series. The Pitt was good, but a little formulaic. Andor was truly original.

I can't believe that no one got nominated out of Three Women. Starz has zero pull.

Cristin Milioti is one of my favorite actresses, although I didn't see the Penguin so I don't know if she was good or not in it.

She was very good in The Penguin, the show was not. I got through episode 4 or 5 a few months ago and still haven't finished it. It's not bad, just not super compelling either

 

[nwhoopfan]

We tuned in the show for a bit, my dad is a big fan of the host. About the time Jennifer Coolidge got on stage as a presenter and wouldn't stop talking, we were done. Nate did his spiel about the 45 second time limit for acceptance speeches, but apparently he really needed to put a time limit on the presenters.

I thought Tramell Tillman for best supporting actor was well-deserved. He was great as Millchik in Severance.

Charlie Kirk reels

Not political. We all know about Charlie Kirk and the impact his death is having. I didn't know much about him so I've been watching many videos. The man was extremely intelligent, self educated, and could crank out information on many subjects. History, the constitution, religion and the bible, economics, politics. Whether you agree with anything he said or his style, he had very strong beliefs and convictions and he welcomed debate. Even if you disagree with an opinion, he made a sound argument. He had a way about him of confidently challenging all comers while also being respectful. Who knows where his journey would have taken him. All I can say is I find his videos very interesting.

Not political? Really?

Which Charlie Kirk arguments did you fine interesting?

• That women should be subservient to men
• That if some innocent people get shot to death, it’s worth it to protect the 2nd amendment.
• That schools should not provide free breakfast to poor kids
• That the US made a huge mistake when it passed the Civil Rights Act of 1960

I could go on. But you get the point.

Me too. His murder has made me profoundly sad, a sadness I've had trouble explaining but I'm hopeful people will tune out the noise and start seeing the humanity in each other.

Last week, you hated a jeans ad.

This week, you're trying to rationalize a murder in cold blood. Wow.

I am not engaging in political debate here. Every video I watch makes me want to explore the topics further. That in and of itself is valuable. And as @superjohn also stated, it makes me very sad. I'd be happy to debate elsewhere. But yes, I get the point, you have obviously fallen into the same trap as many posters: you read a short blurb and completely miss the point. One word of advice. Watch full videos because yes, Charlie said the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. If you watch the entire video, you might understand exactly what he said and his reasoning for saying it. You still may disagree, but his rationale is much different than what many people are assuming.

We’re going to get shut down here shortly by the mods. But I have watched Kirk’s videos. He uses a debate technique of asking a question to a question to steer all conversations back to his pre-determined argument, which makes him seem really intelligent. While his death at the hands of a deeply troubled young man was a terrible thing, Kirk’s devisive remarks through the years do little to unite our country. Given his comments about gun deaths and the 2nd amendment, his own tragic death is sadly ironic.

Yes, we will get shut down. I'm watching videos as we speak and here is one of the more light-hearted debates. Charlie was an Oregon fan. Agree or disagree about his DEI opinions. Charlie drew crowds on college campuses and the reaction across the country is overwhelming

Is this August West going incognito?

I believe that you only know the main stream media's take on what he said.

You may want to take a page from Kolumbo's playbook and find out the truth for yourself.

I'll leave it at that.
