Grapes peeled off of the bunch by one of your minions.
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Currently in the lead for b-sides, John Cale's "Sylvia Said."
Though it must be said The Cure had a lot of good b-sides.
I am so sorry for your loss, Liese and sj. May peace be on the hearts of all who love your loved ones.
Maybe a quick audit on what TV shows everybody is watching right now?
Now that HBO's stuff is up on Amazon Prime I've been watching Girls. So I was reading old AVClub reviews of the show and was taken aback by the vitriol of people offended by Lena Dunham's body. I realize this is old news now, but sheesh. Lena Dunham Doesn't You You a Boner, Assholes! The sense of entitlement about what a woman on a TV show owes a male viewer was gross.
Side note: I personally find Lena Dunham's body to be attractive, but (a) I'm very put off by a lot of modern beauty standards including breast implants et al; and (b) she doesn't owe me a boner either.
Also, it's interesting watching her in the behind-the-scenes material with the other cast because she's so Obviously The Boss and not all that much like Hannah. But people can't seem to help conflating her and her character.
Old news, I realize.
Also, been very into The Magicians. Loved the books, but thought they had a lot of pacing problems. The TV show has gotten stronger as it's taken more chances with the storytelling and claiming the material for their own interpretation. From episode four onward it's gotten stronger and stronger.
Also Adventure Time, finishing Jessica Jones, haven't watched new Daredevil yet. And excited to see Game of Thrones again.
I have been watching the normal network stuff for me
The Good Wife, Elementary, Arrow, Flash, Criminal Minds, Agents of Shield, iZombie
I've been watching Teen Wolf off Vudu
Finally finished White Collar on Netflix.
Aw, my coworker left me popcorn! Nice.
I'm about to quit half my shows -- Scandal, Agents of Shield, I forget what else I'm over.
I'm watching People vs. OJ Simpson, and kind of want to start Lucifer? I love that guy.
My reality competition shows, which right now I think is just RuPaul's Drag Race.
Oh! Also enjoying Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which both called out how they fail the Bechdel Test a lot of the time the other week.
Interesting about the Magicians. I'd given up by episode 3, so might try again.
I've been watching a lot of Nevermind the Buzzcocks on youtube. Finished rewatching all of the West Wing recently. My usual appointment tv isn't grabbing me lately, but I am definitely finishing off The Good Wife.
We're behind on everything (including the last 3 episodes of Agent Carter), but: SHIELD, Flash, Arrow, Sleepy Hollow, Elementary, and Legends of Tomorrow (but I may drop that, Captain Cold notwithstanding). Oh! And Archer is back tomorrow!
I keep meaning to watch Steven Universe on Hulu, but like I said, we can't even keep up with what we're watching now.
