Wow. Are more people negative because it's easier? Fu$king hilarious.


I have a thesis: People are drawn to negative criticism as a natural response to anything, even fantastic shows such as this one because it's not only easier for their simple thought processes, but it also elicits an inflated sense of one's self immediately making their feeble existences seem somehow elevated and meaningful, if only to themselves. This board exemplifies this theory perfectly.

This show was *beep* hilarious. A-list stars wielding a highly entertaining satirical masterpiece. I had never even heard of this show before watching O Brother Where Art Thou on previously. This show knocked my fu$king sox off, the overindulged stares, Tim Robbins, the noir themed over the topness, Val Kilmer... overelongated dialogue...

Do you people actually try and take this show seriously? I just want to know, because if so I pity your existances.

I think its brilliant. Perhaps people don't understand or are too young to get the parody. It's got everything - parody of styles, genres, music, hair. Episode three was friggen hilarious: Beat, Dylan, Cool Jazz, and then ended up with Jane Austen. Made me pee my pants.

I have a thesis: there are a lot of shills for the show on this board.
