anyone is watching it ?
Yeah!anyone is watching it ?
I think Barry has very "Lynchean" moments, and overall a very COEN BROS style. Bill Hader (who directs this whole season) is doing an amzing job. Pacing, tone, its perfect. The balance between humor and suspense and creepyness... its all so perfect. Im enjoying this show big time.Yeah!
Fuches’s latest about-face being inspired by Rain Man was hilarious. Very intrigued by the flashbacks to Barry’s childhood and where that will lead, although we didn’t get one this week. Henry Winkler and Fred Melamed continue to be a dynamic comedic duo. The sequence of them breaking into Patrick Fischler’s house was a comedic masterpiece. Wondering if next week’s episode will just be one long prison break episode.

I watched the first several eps of Barry and enjoyed them, but for whatever reason I never kept up with it.
Love the “Sandy Passage” and “Dronez” eps of Documentary Now!, Hader’s documentary parody show w/ Fred Armisen.
Tbh I couldn’t stand Fred Armisen for most of his run on SNL, but then I saw Portlandia and his style just “clicked” for me.I am baffled by Documentary Now. I watched several episodes. There's no jokes. It's just an exercise in copying documentary formats, but it's not a comedy show, and doesn't add any humor. I don't understand the point.
But Doc Now is weird, in that each episode is so tonally different. Honestly I don’t care for the Spalding Gray or Talking Heads eps, despite being familiar with the subject matter. The only three that I ever revisit are “Dronez”, “Sandy Passage” and I guess “Blue Jean Committee”.
I wrote a big 30,000 word piece on the first season of The X-Files, but have decided to do it as a video essay so people can see it in motion, as films (and tv) are meant to be seen that way!
Now that's a recommendation! I really look forward to watching that show properly, from the beginning to the end.Woh. I want to see. X-Files is my one true love. I think it's the most beautiful show that's ever been filmed.
