Your Unpopular TV Opinions
I really don't like bro-sitcoms. I loved Parks&Rec and was intrigued when I heard the same people were behind Brooklyn Nine-Nine but when I watched it I just couldn't relate to the humor at all. Same goes to shows like Mythic Quest, Blue Mountain State and Ted Lasso. Surprisingly I have a strange fondness with Always Sunny though. Another thing I can't stand is laugh tracks. I always cringe when I see these videos where someone's edited out the laugh track and it's basically just a bunch of mean people insulting each other with awkward pauses after every insult :lol:

Josh's Top 82 Movies of 2021
Eternals was a weird one for me. I'm a huge MCU stan but this just feels like it would have worked better as a Disney+ series imo or in the very least would have gained from having one to set it up. Too many characters with too little time. I found myself not really caring for most of them because they weren't properly developed despite a good try from the director and team behind it. Had some interesting moments but it was just a bit too much in too little time for me lol. There were also some very obvious plot holes like I really enjoyed Free Guy, Cruella and just watched Encanto last night and it was really fun! Free Guy was very Ryan Reynolds by the numbers but the plot was fun/original enough that it still felt fresh and exciting. Encanto had some good songs (although personally not a big fan of LMM's musical style) but my main take was the storyline was a lot more fun than I was expecting. I love it when Disney explores cultures we don't see enough of in western media and while I wasn't pumped about the idea of a magic house at first and thought it looked a bit cheesy I was pleasantly surprised when I actually gave it a chance. Haven't seen Luca yet but might put it on soon. Old .. idk personally I found it to be a bit weird and not the good kind of weird. So many plot holes that just made it a bit tough to get through and the acting was kind of bad. Didn't notice you bumped off Don't Look Up and Dune already but those were easily two of my highlights of the year. DLU was such a great satire and while it wasn't explosive laughs all the way through it was littered with clever blink-and-you'll-miss-it jokes which is honestly my favorite kind of humor. The cast was also solid and I'm honestly stumped as to why it gets such bad reviews. It's a divisive film given the subject but it's also very important in times like today where podcast creators are considered more intuitive than scientists and researchers with far more knowledge of the subject at hand :lol: Dune was just visually stunning and I absolutely love the worldbuilding going on here. I thought it was fitting that the TV show "Foundation" came out at a similar time because it was easy to compare the two. Despite featuring similar subjects they both take a vastly different approach to their world. Whereas Foundation wanted to show off the vastness of its universe, Dune took a more simple approach. I found the story of Dune to be very easily understandable despite the apparent complexity to the world and storyline. It was provided to the viewer in such a meticulous fashion that you didn't feel like everything was being spoon-fed to you via exposition but instead it gave me a feeling of satisfaction that you get when you finally solve a math problem you never thought you'd get through.

A Dangerous Thing is SO gorgeous. Also madly in love with Midas Touch and Heathens, and Cure For Me was one of my highlights of 2021. Can't wait to dive into the full album *.*

BJSC 141 - The Semi Finals
Ahh thank you Rabbit, I hadn't thought of this possibly clashing with other contests but grateful you're flexible! Also thanks to everyone else for your feedback, mods & non-mods alike. I've pushed the deadline back to sunday 23rd then and results will be up on monday evening! :heart:

BJSC 141 - The Semi Finals
6 voters in each semi now. ^_^ Me and WoW73 were discussing the dates of the rest of the contest. We had initially planned for both semi & final results to take place on Saturdays 22. Jan and 29. Jan, but as things got dragged back a bit it's not really going according to plan. I planned to host the results for the semis now on Sunday but as this leaves one less day for voting I'm thinking if maybe I should push it back to Monday evening? Meaning that voting closes sunday evening instead of saturday. In turn this would also push back the Final results though and as Wouter can't host on Sunday or Monday it would have to be on Tuesday 1. February or Saturday 29. January. So my proposed schedule is: Semi Voting Closes: Sunday 23. January at 23:59 GMT (instead of Saturday 22. January) Semi Results: Monday 24. January at 19:00 GMT (instead of Sunday 23. January) Final Voting Starts: Monday 24. January after SF Results Final Voting Closes: Monday 31. January at 23:59 GMT (instead of Friday 28. January) Final Results: Tuesday 1. February at an as-of-yet undecided time (instead of Saturday 29. January) What do you all think? I know this means we're pushing it into BJSC 142 territory but I'm hoping it doesn't derail things too much in the long run.

I think I actually didn't hate Everybody Loves Jamie but it felt like the songs could have been produced better maybe? The actor playing Jamie didn't have the best voice IMO but Idk, I havent seen the real play so maybe I was just underwhelmed. It was far better than Dear Evan Hansen at least :lol:
