i can't think of any right now really. there are a lot of shows i find entertaining but not many that actually have intelligent things to say about anything.

i'm not insulting your future profession. i think comedy is where most of the fun things are happening on television. i guess i should just speak for myself, and say that i should try to challenge myself more instead of just making fun of stupid faux-gritty tv like breaking bad or something.

I promise not to mention it again. Also for the record I'm neither depressed nor in college anymore.

there were too many butts in that movie.
Prospero posted:speaking of rapists, louis ck saying on live tv "they do taste delicious but they dont taste as good as a young boy does" was hilarious. He literally did a irl nervous collar tug
yeah i liked the jokes about child molestation.
Keven posted:Why arent you in college Don I thought you were going to take classes.
i registered for the courses and everything but then i found out my ancient student loan is in some sort of catastrophic stage where i'm not allowed to apply for new student aid (even though i always filed the right paperwork or whatever). so i have to apply for normal jobs instead. i found out though that there is a new fad here for people who have experienced mental illness to work at hospitals in small support roles where i'd like help nurses or whatever run activities for people with schizophrenia which i think i'd actually like a lot. so i applied to one job at a hospital for this and tomorrow i'm going to meet with someone about training for that sort of thing i guess (which i could either get paid or wouldn't be that expensive). it actually pays great because of unions and such so i'd probably prefer that over a lot of other things. we'll see though.

oh shit, now those scenes make sense.
i love that the slave warriors are disciplined and somehow fiercer because they are castrated but they're not all fat, short and without muscles

that actually sounds really cool and a good way to help people, good luck
aerdil posted:also amusingly enough better call saul has a lot more to say than breaking bad ever did because it's through the artifice of dark comedy and bob odenkirk as slimy lawyer rather than faux-gritty realism
im never going to watch breaking bad. is it still worth it to watch better call saul?

His future profession is idiotic and he should be a shamed of him self.
Keven posted:Game of thrones was boring when it was following the books because the whole show was watching people explain things or watching them react to things we dont see but game of thrones post book seems bad to me, they're giving all the characters boyfriends and letting them run around cracking jokes at each other & the sansa story in particular is bad b/c her arc is from a retardo who gets her dad killed to someone who understands the limitations of her position but is able to move and have agency within that realm with the guidance of the most feminized of the male characters "little finger." & instead shes getting a bad guy boyfriend whos doing bad sex on her and they had to butch up little finger by giving him a brothel where he totally, has sex.
When littleFinger changed his accent from Italiano soprano to deep Evil sex boy thats when the series/.... Jumped The Stark (shark).
