Stranger Things: Season 3 | Date Announcement

moonsammy says...

I didn't particularly care for the 2nd season, and am hoping S3 is more appealing. At this point I'd prefer they'd stuck to the original plan of self-contained seasons (like American Horror Story).

The Password - The Office US

Esoog says...

I do watch Brooklyn Nine Nine. You're right, that is a worthy sitcom. Superstore, I admit, I never got into. I'll have to check it. The Good Place I liked the first season, then got a little bored.

Modern Family is great, but I feel like it's jumped the shark the past 2 seasons.

Are you watching Brooklyn Nine Nine, Superstore, or the Good Place? Those are all great mainstream sitcoms, and they were all created by vets of The Office, so they share DNA.

WE ARE NASA!

I love Mike Rowe, but I don't think he ever visited NASA for Dirty Jobs...

A Scary Time

ChaosEngine says...

Regarding Perry and Counts: that was in 1991. Again it's terrible, but you can't really argue that we're suddenly "abandoning of proof and evidence".

Re Banks: That's undoubtedly terrible, but to me, that's far more of an indictment of the appalling state of the US justice system and the nightmare of the utterly broken plea bargain system (I think John Oliver did a report on it, and I'd also highly recommend listening to the current season of the Serial podcast). He chose to take the plea deal... he wasn't convicted.

I think it's also not a coincidence that all three victims are black. Juries are far more likely to convict black men... that's just a fact.

And again, these cases are notable because they're rare.

The point here is simple. Trump's "it's a scary time to be a man" line is complete and utter bullshit. There is no sudden epidemic of false rape allegations. Are people wrongly accused (and in some cases, even convicted) of rape? Undoubtedly.

But it's not a new problem and it's nowhere near as widespread as the right is making it out to be.

Meanwhile, in the USA someone is violated every 98 seconds, and the President mocked a sexual assault survivor.

One of these is a bigger problem than the other.

The alleged victim's testimony was the extent of the prosecution's case against Perry and Counts. There was no physical evidence linking them to the crime.

It was Banks’ word against hers and she was not likely to change her story. After all, Gibson sued the Long Beach Unified School District claiming the school’s lax security provided an unsafe environment that led to the fraudulent rape. She would eventually receive a settlement of 1.5 million dollars.

Brian Banks was faced with an impossible decision at the time – either fight the charges and risk spending 41 years-to-life in prison, or take a plea deal and spend a little over 5 years of actual prison confinement. Although it would mean destroying his chance to go to college and play football, a lengthy probationary period, and a lifetime of registration as a sex offender, Banks chose the lesser of two evils when he pleaded no contest to the charges.

THE WALKING DEAD Season 9 Trailer #1 (SDCC 2018) AMC Series

Digitalfiend says...

I didn’t know TWD was coming back for season 9. Wasn’t overly thrilled with season 8, although it had some good moments...other than the weak ending. This looks promising!

ILP Showreel 2018

ChaosEngine says...

That's true for a lot of things. Action scenes (particularly fight scenes) really suffer from this.

If you hand your fight scene off to the second unit and don't give the actors/stunt team time to prepare.... you end up with Iron Fist season 1 (credit to them for a massive improvement in season 2).

If you care about this stuff, take the time to set it up, do enough takes until you get it right... you get John Wick or Jackie Chan's early stuff.

That is the important point. Studio budget drives the quality of effects companies. Poor effects can be due to the limits of studio budgets.

The Secret Behind the World’s Best Green Tea

C-note says...

During the harvest season the narrow roads up there are packed with people going to get the tea for themselves, because no one trust stores elsewhere that often repackage other teas as Royal Dragon Tea. Just about anytime of year the place is loaded with hundreds of weddings in and around West Lake. They should really consider freeing White Snake.
