Aw, I like Parks and Rec. I mean yeah, it's lib shit. But it comes off as so naive and earnest. It's so nice. Obviously you shouldn't base your politics off it, but it's not a bad show.
But yeah, Chris Pratt's image/persona is just so aggressively bland. He doesn't have leading man energy but they keep making him a leading man for some reason?
He was born to be a side character, which to be fair, he nails in Parks. A show about Andy Dwyer would be kinda weird.
Yeah agreed it was dumb, but those didn't, like, matter to the plot, it was kind of just a fun gag
I'm still so pissed he's who they chose for a lead in the new JP movies.
I'm still gonna watch the next one but I'm gonna be pissed about it the whole time.
Do you know the first grift I ever built when I first came here from Canada? It was a book... Maps of Meaning... It was quite spectacular. Spared no expense. There was a dragon of chaos and a voluntary ascension of the Buddha and a hero's journey... and a walled garden.... It was all wank, word salad of course, but people would say they could see the wisdom. "Oh, Dr Peterson is smart, mummy, isn't he smart?... Philosophy and history and self-help.... But this place..... I wanted to show them something they could see... and touch... Not just devoid of fruits and vegetables.
i think he's really really good and funny as andy. the whole cast is really good tbh. the show is fine
the episode with the dinosaurs was real bad
Just finished a rewatch and yeah it's still a really fun show. Watching from a fully doomleft position didn't really ruin my enjoyment either; it does a good job of demonstrating the failures of the American political system and lib naivete
I love it to, honestly my only issue with it is the same issue I have with every Michael Schurr show: everyone gets an over-the-top happy ending. It's just so saccharine.
The ending isn't really the point to these shows. They're funny because of the character interactions, and show endings are always these tearful goodbyes that betray the core conceits of the premise.
The whole cast is really good
May I present to you... Mark Brandanowicz?
I don't understand how it's possible to have a strong opinion about him in either direction
He's the acting equivalent of white bread. A completely inoffensive slob turned himbo who shows up and says the lines and collects the paycheck.
I've always wondered why Biden was selected to be Leslie's political crush.
I remember how much I hated that character from the first episode, even all the way to the last.
Well, in the first few episodes, he was written to be an asshole. But out of the blue, they decided to write him to be a human teddy bear, and there was no real character development for that to happen.
