shill or not it still cheers me up to see h&cf mentioned even sporadically on here.
it's not a great show, but it's improved steadily since season 1 and it's nice to see it get yet another season against shitty ratings
i mean fuck amc for based rubicon but this helps, a little

They removed the music use that made Vol 1 fun so all that was left was another shitty Marvel movie
they were playing it safe and afraid of trying anything bold and new
Also it was a flanderized version of the first movie
Alrite?
Can someone give me a quick rundown on this guy?

Former radio producer from Manchaster who shot to fame after working with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who exploited his obscure views of the world for monetary gain by revolving the radio show on him, creating a series of popular podcasts and eventually sending him on a series of travel documentaries.
Or if you want the short version: he's a bald little mank with a head like a FUCKING ORANGE
Head like an orange
>The first thing Snape asks Harry is “Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?” According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning ‘My regrets follow you to the grave’ and wormwood means ‘absence’ and also typically symbolized bitter sorrow. If you combined that, it meant ‘I bitterly regret Lily’s death’.
Holy fucking shit!
I wonder what you would need to add in order to make Harry Potter not one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"Brap!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

There have been bad spots here and there, but season 7 has been unironically good. I wish there was more involvement with Jaime but otherwise I can't really complain. :)
>>86593669
its been 7 years. i think almost the whole base changed. the old regulars only lurking and sad what /tv/ has become.

>what went wrong
Same shit that always happens with TV shows.
You can't expect any consistency of quality from non-STEM guys. They run out of inspiration very quickly and want to switch to another subject. And D&D made themselves literal slaves. They probably wanted to quit since s4 but they had to make at least 4 more and it shows.
*breaths*

Why was Doomfist in Justice League?
Hey you Star Wars fans, you know your hero Luke Skywalker? He is evil now and is in cahoots with Snoke!
Our new character Rey is much better than him both morally and power wise and you have to deal with it!
We don't care if you don't like it, we are guaranteed to make billions anyways!

I thought the force sloth was the main villain
... and there's nothing you can do about it, goy (well I mean you can buy our toys... you will won't you? please)
This thread is now about how you would have re-written TFA.
Personally I would have brought in Hammil and Ford as the lead actors again and done away with the entire nu-starwars plot. After the loss of their son, Solo and Leia became estranged for years until he gets an SOS transmission from her. He and Luke, with the help of some new friends like the tech-savvy Rey travel to the war torn planet, Coruscant to find that a new order has been building on the ruins of the old jedi temple. Kylo is revealed and takes off his mask at the climax and kills both his parents, while luke barely manages to hold him off and escape with Rey to teach her the ways of the force. They end up banging too.

>Comedian Conan O'Brien will arrive in Israel in the end of August to film a special for his TBS show "Conan."
>In a tweet announcing his trip, O'Brien wrote that he's dispatching himself to Israel "to help Jared Kushner." On Friday, a White House official said that President Donald Trump is sending a delegation headed by Kushner, his senior adviser and son in law, to Israel, the Palestinian Authority and several Arab states in an effort to renew the peace process.
>This will be his first trip to Israel, a country he mocks mercilessly on his late-night show.

>dude asians are incompetant and dont know how to build bridges, they need the white man to show them how to do it lmao
what are some other movies with harmful stereotypes?
>>86502498
Maybe it was less european men vs asian men and more, you know, well-trained engineers vs throwing bodies at the problem.
>>86502498
>they need the white man to show them how to do it lmao
Fucking retard. Why would you waste your own soldiers on something you could get prisoners to do? It means that they're actually making themselves useful and you don't have to take combatants from the front.
After the Napoleonic Wars the British used French prisoners of war to build leets across the southwest of England. That doesn't mean the British would've been unable to do it themselves.
>>86503212
This. White or not, they were engineers.
