#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Depends who's giving you one.....Nihilism in arts is almost always portrayed by people who aren't nihilists, so it never really convinces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,323 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Whether it's true nihilism or not is really not the point. Sharky refuses to acknowledge the Golden Age of TV because he deems it too "nihilistic". Whether it's completely and truly "nihilistic" or only has nihilistic flavors is a different matter. Happy stuff, full of optimistic messages, doesn't equal Golden Age TV either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I don't like Shitty Age of TV junk because it's too bleak and depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,323 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I only get depressed with network TV. However, anything that moves or fascinates me fills my heart with delight, it doesn't matter whether its bleak or not. It's the same with music.

Jay 37,249 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Modern Family 7x02 The Day Alex Left For CollegeNot bad, not bad. Lots of funny parts. Nice balance of the different characters and stories. The writers clearly completely forgot about Alex and Claire's European backpacking trip. Oh well. Alex's new roomate being an even smarter / younger version of herself was hilarious and inspired. Luke finally outgrowing wanting to be with his dad all the time was a good storyline, and the end of it was a nice touch. Joe talking is funny - he's already lightyears better than Lilly (who is the worst actress on TV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,232 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yeah that 8 year old is absolutely awful. Such shitty acting abilities. Hope they give her a Razzie this year because she needs to know just how terrible she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,973 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Just bought The Wire Blu-ray box set. My worries as to whether it might be worth an upgrade proved to be wrong. The show looks great in hi-def and the new 1.78:1 aspect ratio (as compared to the 4:3 on DVD) works in its favour. Would even go as far and say it looks more glamorous. I've not seen in many years, curious as to how it holds up. Is it still the best television drama, after all these years of "golden age"? Curious to find out.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,153 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 TV excels in writing and characters, but it has no time and budget for crazy, extravagant visuals.Depends on how crazy perhaps. Pushing Daisies had great, whacky look that perfectly complemented its writing. (Though admittedly it got cancelled just when it became truly ambitious).

Jay 37,249 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 The League 7x03 The Blind SpotPretty funny, always good to see Sofia back, and them hiding int he blind spot was good. Dick Chicken was stupid though. The EBDB Pro stuff was funny.The League 7x04 DeflategateThey should have named this episode "The Wet Spot", though that storyline was more gross than funny. The actual deflategate storyline, with the breast implants, was way too forced and not funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
