The TV thread

If you have Hulu (disney package with espn), Peacock, Paramount plus, netflix and prime...do you even need broader streaming package line youtube? We have to decide next year if we're staying with cable or cutting the cord.

 

Watched the first two episodes. They went for the shock value right away, killed off a main character, are overcorrecting on their attempts to fix the issues with the original SATC in respects to race, but are doing it all wrong.

Also, I have no clue what Kristin Davis did to her face, but she needs to get it fixed.

I'm currently trying to think of a "reboot" that was just as good as the original. All of the ones I've watched (Will & Grace, Gilmore Girls, Saved by the Bell, Fuller House) have just been okay.

 

Well, Yellowstone fans, you saw at least one thing tonight you never expected to see on television.

 

Jen was in a string of good movies.

Good Girl
Friends with Money
Along Came Polly
Rumor Has It

She and Sandler were good together in Just Go With It

 

I've always thought that, at best, Aniston is charming and doesn't detract from a movie. I don't really think she has a magnetic screen presence, but I've never watched something she's been in and thought, "This sucks because of her."

 

It depends on who she works with both on and off camera. She's best when she serves as a proxy for the audience. This was especially true in movies like Friends With Money. She faded into the scenery in Along Came Polly. That scanned like it was supposed to be her manic pixie dream girl role and she doesn't have the kind of presence movies like that call for.

I agree with your take. At worst, she's inoffensive and unobtrusive. With the right cast, director, and script, she can be pretty good.

Friends With Money and The Object Of My Affection are two of her better roles.

 

Exactly what I said to my wife.

 

Started Yellowstone with S1-E1 last night. Checked the episodes list. I should be done with it by Christmas ... 2022 ... maybe.

 

To get new eyes to the platform and hope that people forget to cancel when they are done with the show.

 

Yeah, who would have imagined another hot cowgirl would hit on a mope like Jimmy?

But yes, the scene you are talking about was rather unsettling.

Yellowstone might be the best thing on TV.

 

I’m about 5 episodes into Yellowstone. This will eat up a lot of time. Good so far.

The Sopranos covered in manure.

 

Well, now that I think about it, not exactly what I said. I think I phrased it as "I never thought we'd see a horse dong on network TV".

What I loved about that scene was throwing Jimmy in headfirst with zero prep. It seems exactly the sort of thing they'd do as a joke on the new guy.

What I could not believe was when she said that she was hitting on Jimmy because there were about half a dozen single guys in the county she could go out with. On a ranch the size of the 6666?
