shout out to all gommunist coastal elites
Ah yes Yellowstone. The show that asks “What if white boomers were right about everything and also super cool and their kids called them”
The show manages to be less obnoxious than Big Bang Theory, if only because Sheldon's behavior makes more sense coming from a literal child.
Who the in the hell hasn't heard of Young Sheldon? The entire media apparatus has been trying to shove it down our throats for years and it somehow manages to be even worse than the bazinga show it spun off from
My mom is always watching that show and I always seem to walk in when Tom Selleck is going on some “I know the cops aren’t perfect, but we do an important job” monologue to some uppity activist millenial types
Glad I'm not the only one who goes through this, solidarity ✊
These are the shows your mom likes but coastal elites have never heard of or turn their noses up at.
Big Sky was a show about white women disappearing in Montana. While most of the real world cases in Montana happen to indigenous women.
Don't worry the translesbian autism adhd pretty thoroughly exorcised that from my soul. My 2 most recent best memories are a catholic wedding and a gay club that was very close to being a sex club. Weed before work and yesterdays outfit of a crop top, leather pants, and sneakers helps my case too.
I do not ask for forgiveness, only a chance at redemption
Im Joshing you. Anybody for the working class and anti-fascist is a comrade.
How was it growing up upper middle class and Wasp though? Most people who are leftist minded I feel like would hate that lifestyle, I'm assuming you weren't a fan?
Argued with my parents a lot. Never got to explore who I was or what I wanted because I needed support from my parents I never got. The constant everything in moderation, be reasonable, not too happy BS was really hard on me. Luckily for them they had the money for wilderness and transitionary living so I had the chance to clean up their mess. My brother did fine because hes naturally independent, self sufficient, and masculine, but I never got the support, closeness or affection that I needed to be successful. My dad being emotionally abusive didn't help either. He'd yell at me over the pettiest things and never gave me a choice in what I did, how I expressed myself or what my values were. When I hit ~13 I became better at debating than him and he respected me for the first time. In his head that meant he was done parenting me. the removed.
I remember going on a road trip when I was around 10 and realizing for the first time that some people didn't have nice things because they couldn't afford them. I always assumed that people who had BMWs were just people who cared about cars more. I thought they were kinda conceeded and petty to care about a car that much.
The shortest answer possible is that I've been miserable my whole life. My mom said I was a happy baby but as soon as consciousness hit things got worse. The only thing keeping me going is that I don't want to make the people around me sad. Things might get better but im not capable of imagining it.
Sorry about that my friend. That's rough but you seemed to persevere and you're here now talking to me and explaining shit. Yeah I can't imagine being a leftist and growing up in vain and capitalist minded wasp world. You've had it rough, but keep going.
I grew up in a lower middle class Scots-irish family in the midwest. I had some racist and bigoted relatives which alwayswas difficult dealing with, but my mom and dad treated me with love. Sorry things started out badly for you, but you are for sure smart enough to make your life better.
Solidarity comrade, I could've written that word for word. Glad you've got a better outlook now, hope things look up for you to go with that :stalin-heart:
ITT people complaining about Yellowstone based on their imagination.
it's a crazy show. and so is it's prequel 1883 (which turned one of the shallow assumptions of Yellowstone on its ass), and i imagine the 1883 sequel, 1923, will be as well. it's one of those shows, like Sopranos, where a chud can enjoy it because bang bang / mean words / yee haw, but it contains the multitudes. so basically, the ideal entertainment product for $$$.
Taylor Sheridan is a white hot commodity with pen and camera, and Paramount was brilliant to let him run absolutely wild with a story where the main character is a chunk of land in a specific place over 140 years. my other favored works of his
- Sicario (screenwriter)
- Those Who Wish Me Dead (adapted novel to screen, much improved over source material though fairly boiler plate action set piece)
- Wind River (writer & director debut, this is what made me obsessed)
- Mayor of Kingstown (series creator, writer & director)
besides the Coen brothers' (as seen especially in No Country for Old Men), Sheridan is one of the only people i am seeing in major dramatic production who shows places and especially land in a way that reveals its close tenderness and its uncaring hostility with love and fear. in movies he does it quicker, but TV lets him build set pieces and their impacts slower, subtler.
i think his ability to create this emotive seeing and draw tension reached a new level when he worked with Villenueve on Sicario, because there's been times i'm just like chilling on the couch watching some some slow burn investigation and i realize that my jaw is clenched and parts of my body are tensed up like a string about to snap. he has got the moves.
it kinda blows my mind that taylor sheridan, the guy who played a cop in sons of anarchy who died in an unspectacular fashion, is also an incredible writer/director. fucking love hell or high water + sicario
Yellowstone sucked ass. I watched the first couple episodes just out of sheer boredom and because I wasn't at home and thus had access to TV programming.
Everyone in that show sucks. They are all awful people. There's some weirdly unnecessary trauma about the dead mother and shit. You know how GoT and HBO in general just loves putting nudity and sex into the media even when its not in the original material or even necessary for the storytelling? That was Yellowstone. Except instead of nudity it was just people being awful to each other.
I was going to watch Yellowstone, because I love National Parks, but when I watched the trailer it seemed like a chud show.
What about about World’s Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Trucker, Wicked Tuna?
I had this period in 2010 when I was weirdly addicted to Ice Road Trucker. I still don't know why. It was just a bunch of men driving trucks.
That was my reaction. I switched to Youtube watching quite some time ago. It's the Discovery Channel and the History Channel the way they were meant to be. It's endlessly fascinating and unlike the basic cable networks of old, the creators do not hesitate to really get down into the weeds.
New Englander checking in.
Only heard of Yellowstone through ads in passing while scrolling through streaming service slop. I only heard of Blue Bloods in passing by a former Dr whose daughter was an extra on an episode of it or some shit, which is the only reason I know of its existence. The only other show I recognize is Young Sheldon, and I do not know a single person in my circle who watches it.
Spitballing: When Calls the Heart is about a woman called to her home town to mourn a deceased family member and rekindles past relationships in her old hometown. Heartland is some 19th century frontier :brace-dark-cowboy: shit. Northern Rescue is about some park rangers in fuckwhere Montana. The Good Witch is about a wiccan heiress subduing an unsuspecting modern Salem, Utah, because they didn't realize it took place in Mass. Tough as Nails is about an ex prisoner rehabilitating into a hostile folky town. Sweet Magnolias is about a woman who witnesses a murder in a rural town. Walker is some chud pissing on the already shit-covered grave of Chuck Norris' old show.
How'd I do?
Mate, I grift streaming services, and make wages shitty enough to warrant hardship. 🚫 :spray-bottle: pls
TEdit: I'm mostly joking dude. I grew up in the midwest in a lower middle class Presbyterian Scotch Irish family, and obviously have no love for blue blooded anglo coastal elites, but anyone who is for the working class and anti-fascist is a comrade.
Why would I watch the serious drama remake of Walker, Texas Ranger when I can just watch the infinitely more hilarious original series?
walker
imagine saying that the commie blue hair sjw elites don't know about the superwholock guy show :agony-yehaw:
I don't know anymore to be honest. I just saw reiki and it made me remember why I hate bourgeoise feminism. I just had to write a 1500 word essay on it and saw this and I was like :wtf-am-i-reading:
Lol brings back the trauma. All good, from my best reading it seems satirical (if not very funny)
