Topic | The Office is quite infuriating to watch. |
Derwood 08/22/21 9:43:02 AM #141 | He came in as the intern who Michael picked on, but there were a lot of hints that he was overqualified for the job and that he found Michael and Dunder-Mifflin to be a joke. The Business School episode is the first where he openly shits on DM in a way that really hurts Michael |

Derwood 08/19/21 12:42:01 PM #132 | saspa posted... Thoughts on Ryan going from awkward nervous temp, to smug "thinks he's better than everyone" junior salesman, to douchey 80s style drug addicted wall street type executive, to blonde bowling alley employee, to glasses wearing hipstery persona? He was always awful in every form. My least favorite character on the show (and I also think he sucks in other shows/movies). That said, he was one of the main writers for the show. |

Topic | The Office is quite infuriating to watch. |
Derwood 08/18/21 11:27:52 AM #126 | The episode where Michael leaves Jim in charge and Jim tries to consolidate all the birthdays into one party is one where we see Michael as a competent person. The end of that episode is perfect |

Derwood 08/15/21 5:51:15 PM #115 | Michael Scott is the perfect example of the Peter Principle: every good worker will keep getting promoted until they reach a level they are no longer qualified for. He was clearly a really good salesman, but he's just too much of a narcissist/people-pleaser to be an effective manager |
Topic | The Office is quite infuriating to watch. |
Derwood 08/12/21 8:38:03 AM #101 | The British version could be misanthropic because it was only 12 episodes long. No one would put up with David Brent for 200 episodes. |
Topic | Pixar's A Bug Life is based on Seven Samurai? |
Derwood 08/10/21 10:35:48 AM #33 | Serious Cat posted... Some Shakespearean Henry IV/V trilogy too. I see that more than Hamlet. Uncle murders king to usurp the crown is a story found in many classical texts |
Topic | Why is Abed so beloved among nerds while Sheldon is so hated? |
Derwood 08/08/21 7:21:21 PM #103 | TBBT isn't realistic. At all. Everyone is a complete stereotype, and it quickly turned from "aren't these nerds hilarious?" to "these nerds have lots of sex with women out of their league!!" |

Derwood 08/08/21 7:14:36 PM #101 | UnfairRepresent posted... Britta Counterpoint: The Big Bang Theory is one of the worst written shows in history. It's popularity is a mystery that we may not solve in our lifetimes |

Derwood 08/07/21 2:24:00 PM #67 | AloneIBreak posted... Im exaggerating a little, but the progressive left. Its an idea they wont challenge at all. When is the last time you saw someone who calls themselves progressive question anything CRT teaches? Maybe were just exposed to wildly different progressives, but Ive never seen it online or in person. I'm a progressive and I don't feel it necessary to defend something that is taught in law school |

Derwood 08/07/21 10:58:29 AM #88 | Anthony_Rizzo posted... Raj's character is like, 1940s-esque racist garbage And Howard is nothing but low-hanging Jewish tropes. The whole show is trash |

Topic | Stranger Things season 4 will premiere in 2022 |
Derwood 08/06/21 9:29:40 PM #14 | darkprince45 posted... I mean every other show does it just fine. As noted by other posts here and everywhere else on the internet. The show is taking awhile to get going regardless. There were 2 years between the final two seasons of GoT because of the amount of post production Also, Shows aren't wrapping one season and then starting the next season a day later |
Topic | Stranger Things season 4 will premiere in 2022 |
Derwood 08/06/21 9:26:39 PM #12 | darkprince45 posted... Really? Did it happen In the same gap between seasons 2-3(2+ years as well)? I see you have no grasp on how long it takes to film a long form television show with a lot of post production |

Derwood 08/06/21 9:18:51 PM #10 | darkprince45 posted... why does this show take so long? Theyre damn near college aged already You're aware that a global pandemic happened (is happening) between Season 3 and Season 4, right? |
Topic | The Office is quite infuriating to watch. |
Derwood 08/06/21 7:08:40 PM #86 | I'm glad they went with the "weirdo" angle with Dwight instead of modeling him off of Gareth, who is simply an insufferable asshole who deserves all the bullying that Tim lays on him |

Derwood 08/06/21 6:00:18 PM #36 | UnfairRepresent posted... Not only that, a lot of the jokes are literally just "Hey look! He likes something Nerdy!" with no actually funny humor or real punchline https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ib889nSZVU&t=48s |

Topic | Movies being released on streaming services are a boon to pirates |
Derwood 08/06/21 5:27:14 PM #34 | voldothegr8 posted... Musicians have always gotten the bulk of their money from concert tickets and merch, they weren't making much more with physical albums over streaming. Not true. While a band maybe only made $1 from each $18 CD sold, that's exponentially more than the fractions of a penny they make from streams |

Derwood 08/06/21 5:26:15 PM #83 | Terrible people sit-coms are abundant, though. It's a formula that works. Seinfeld Arrested Development Curb Your Enthusiasm It's Always Sunny Schitt's Creek Just to name a few |

Derwood 08/06/21 5:25:08 PM #32 | Mr Hangman posted... Oh no, concerts and t-shirts, the humanity. They deserve what they can convince people to pay them and nothing more. They don't deserve the state extorting money from them by artificially making a scarce resource out of an unlimited one. This sure is a theory |
Topic | Movies being released on streaming services are a boon to pirates |
Derwood 08/06/21 5:21:07 PM #30 | Mr Hangman posted... They should provide a product worth paying for. Some video game studios, like Valve, understand that. The music industry has had to learn this lesson kicking and screaming, but artists mostly understand it now. Media which is easier to pirate and which the creators have less money to litigate have hardly stopped being created, stopped being good, or stopped being profitable. Music itself isn't profitable at all with streaming services. Musicians have had to pivot towards higher ticket prices for concerts and $50 t-shirts |

Derwood 08/06/21 5:12:34 PM #27 | Mr Hangman posted... The generation of people who feel like authors' monopolies that extend for life plus 70 years is justified and more valuable than free flow of information is infuriating. So movie studios are supposed to spend $200 million on a movie and be cool with people bootlegging it for free? |

Topic | The Office is quite infuriating to watch. |
Derwood 08/06/21 4:08:54 PM #68 | The Office is great. Jim and Pam are not awful. What a weird, cringey take on those characters. Trump did make me see Michael differently, though, because they are so similar. "Has to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral" describes both of them |

Derwood 08/03/21 2:07:07 PM #59 | Genetics among women is also a disadvantage. Serena Williams has a genetic advantage over most other female tennis players (who have no ability to grow as big and strong as Williams). that is nuance. |

I would keep that shit and I would basically sprint out of the stadium before security could catch me. So you'd sprint out of the stadium without anyone authenticating it? Your ball is worth nothing now |
