Choose Your Own Kimmy Schmidt is great. But the UI is so goddam clunky. When you try to go back through to see all the stuff you missed it's a nightmare. Can't fast forward. Can't navigate to choices. Frustrating. I'll have to watch scenes through several times to make sure I see everything.

You may want to find some kind of online guide to seeing everything. But at the same time, I wouldn't want to miss the fun of just playing it through organically once.

lol, i'm so confused. i just read an article that says they've been done with production/editing it now, as it was shot all before the COVID 19 shutdown...

Production on the show is all done, which should insulate the show from coronavirus-related disruption: post-production effects work is being completed remotely. In fact, Disney's CEO Bob Chapek has reportedly confirmed that season 2 of the Star Wars TV show will not be delayed from the October 2020 release.

i'm guessing they just want to let us know he's in it? but why is it just news now?

I’ve been absolutely bulldozing thru mad men since Netflix is removing it from their library on June 10th and man what a great show. Can’t believe I never got into it when it was originally on.

Such great acting, dialogue, etc. there’s also a buncha low-key comedy that you’ll miss if you’re not paying attention.

One scene though that has stuck with me: in season 2 around episode 8. Don buys the new car and takes his family on a picnic. As they are getting ready to leave, don crushes a beer and then throws the empty can into the park. This is after he advises his son to piss on a tree. And THEN Betsy shakes all the trash off their picnic blanket onto the ground and they just bail like that’s what normal people do.

I belly laughed so hard at that.

Also, sterling’s blackface was pretty random, but I reckon that’s just what they did in those days.

i don't believe i finished mad men but i remember that scene. i guess i was under the impression that's what people did do back then. like all the casual drinking and driving.

I use "I don't think about you at all" a lot these days.

This is probably my most-used gif.

who was/is a better actress...january jones or christina hendricks?

I'm watching Ozark, and it is baffling. I don't know why it exists. It was made after Breaking Bad, a show that tells an uncannily similar story, yet is superior in writing, in its internal logic and storytelling, in cinematography -- pretty much in every way. Ozark even has to pretend that a Missouri drug syndicate wouldn't be involved in meth. Who grows poppies in rural Missouri? It's a [expletive] meth hotbed! But they can't do meth, because the showrunners must pretend they are telling a totally different story.

Poor Jason Bateman. Such an empathetic, solid comedic straight-man face, forced to stare blankly for 15 minutes per episode. The color palette for the show is basically "blue." I'll concede that Missouri accents are strange and complicated, but it's as though the show runners just told their cast "pick anything, but go [expletive] on it." Why does the blond girl, Ruth, talk like she's from southern Alabama, but her own family in the trailer park do not? Why does the bad poppy guy, Steen, talk like Foghorn Leghorn?

Then there's the frustrating stuff. Police forces in popular lake areas have boats and patrol the waters. Why must we pretend that the lake is like deep international waters, where no law applies and you can just openly distribute heroin? And the lake preacher would never notice that most of his congregants are just addicts or drug dealers, who are openly distributing during his sermon? The Steen estate is described as enormous and vast, then 5 minutes later the cop says it's 500 acres. I'm sure to an LA script writer 500 acres sounds enormous, but a wealthy drug producer (or even just a farmer or rancher!) it is not. Then in I believe that same episode, Marty Byrde says that a creek on the Steen's ranch flows west to the Missouri at Jefferson City. Look at a map, y'all. such a creek would flow to Kansas.
