He hasn't visited the forum in over a month. I hope he's okay 😣
Cornballer hasn't been here in almost a year. I hope he's also okay, wherever he is!
The long take reminds me so much of theatre setups, which is why I like it.
Victoria is still a great example of this if you want to see someone do an entire movie like this.
I hope they are both okay too. Hopefully lurking this thread at least. Would love if they came back to post an update or something
Same! Whenever a regular stops posting for a long period of time, I always assume the worst 😰☹️
Cant wait for more pointless, meandering episodes of character-driven shlock
Same here. Its a bad habit of mine that I wanna stop but have a hard time doing it
I like to think that they're free, that they found something better to do with their time than pay on this forum
Be free!
Be free!
Best show of the year so far! The score is phenomenal too - from the same guy who did Utopia UK
Will echo how great The White Lotus has been, especially that score. Hopefully White continues to do more things with HBO.
wondering what will become of Peacock now that the Olympics is over. Their weekend schedule is pretty nonexistent, and their daytime "channels" are lacking in content in primetime hours.
Hooray! White got his wish!

Yep, Mike White said in this excellent New Yorker interview that he was kicking around ideas for an anthology-esque second season. Really glad to see it happening.

The screenwriter and actor’s latest TV series, “The White Lotus,” scrutinizes the Faustian bargain of marrying into money.
Oh wow. I can totally hear it now. It has a very Utopia dread sprinkled in it. A truly phenomenal show and score. I'm so glad people ha e enjoyed it (my job is filled with fans as well)
Oh HELL yes

Sure thing! I think it was RatskyWatsky who originally posted it. I thought it was really fascinating too.
"Once again, Mike has delivered a quintessential HBO show" says the network that prematurely canceled his last show!
Hooray for "The White Lotus" getting renewed for season 2! I guess I should've been posting my reactions to the episodes on here instead of the August TV thread. Here's hoping season 2 be just as good as the first one is.
And, here are Monday night's ratings from TV Line and TV Series Finale:

Am legitimately shook
Pretty sure they also instantly passed on that one pitch that MW claimed was the best thing he ever wrote 😒
The fact that the only reason HBO ordered The White Lotus was because they needed something that could be produced quickly and during quarantine should maybe make them stop and think a little harder in the future about what they usually give the green light to and what they don't.
I feel like I'm in the stage of a cycle where most of my shows are coming to an end and I don't have many new ones I'm interested in to replace them. For sure network shows I care about are very few. Then there are shows like Documentary Now! that aren't canceled but haven't had any news in a couple years.
I've been in a huge rut this year myself. With everything really, I don't feel like watching anything new or play anything new.
The last few months I've basically only rewatched House and Brooklyn Nine Nine. And played WoW and/or FF14. Havent updated my 52 show/game threads in ages because of it :(
Yeah, I've been feeling some sort of shift in 2019/2020 where a lot of my favorite shows were ending but I didn't have anything to replace them with. It's very likely because everything is moving to streaming and episode counts and seasons are getting shorter and shorter every year, but the pandemic really sped it all up while also delaying or cancelling a lot of shows.
Broadcast TV is mostly bland, inoffensive garbage, and cable TV is practically dead. Streaming is great, don't get me wrong, but I can stream a show much faster than if it were on cable or broadcast, and there's just not a lot that's grabbing my attention, despite there being more shows airing than ever before.
October 15th for the first four then weekly after that.

I remember watching the second movie in the theatre with friends and my Brazilian friend getting so mad at the beginning of the movie when the wrong answer was given for the capital of Brazil. She yelled out at the screen and then again later when the correct answer was revealed with an "I told you!". It was hilarious. 😂

i think the greatest of all time was primetime, I was about to say Celebrity Jeopardy this year, but that was Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
Ahh. I guess it makes sense why she could do it then.

Wonder what Horowitz and Kitsis will do now
O shit. This could be interesting. I dont think she is a writer on Raising Kanan, so hopefully this isnt a big blow to that show.What a twist:

Looking forward to what she does on Netflix, especially if it's anything like the powers. I imagine nextflix would give her a bigger budget.
I never got into Power, but know a ton of people who love it. Great pickup for Netflix is she produces something for them that has that type of fan support.
Starz already has a whole cinematic universe with Power in motion, so from that angle they are okay.

It's not like she was exactly lacking for budget on Starz though.
Yea but the writing on Power and Power Book 2 are kinda bad. They look good(set in the present) but writing can be improved. Book 3 Raising Kanan looks good (set in 90s NY) and the writing is a ton better than both Power and Book 2. Maybe budget isnt the right word, but hope the writing gets better than Power Book 1 and 2.
