Jimmy Carr seems to be getting a lot more attention (maybe because he's so high profile in the UK and because of the tax thing) but I found the entire list of comedians who went to the Riaydh festival interesting. Some of them I thought yeah, of course. Others genuinely surprised me. Out of all of them, I felt that Aziz Ansari had the most thoughtful and reasonable explanation but in general, comedians saw it as a gig and a challenge, not an endorsement of the Saudi government. I think that's fair, but then my own government's been doing some pretty awful things and people still have to work here, so...

[(Anonymous)]

I don't care much for the majority of the list up there, but I do think it depends on current events in addition to why they're performing.

I've seen comedians perform for troops deployed in the Middle East, while others performed specifically for Saudi citizens. I admit though, I haven't been keeping up much with what the Saudi government specifically has been doing lately so I don't know the extent of the controversy.

If you agree not to joke about the slavery human rights abuses and journalist murdering on the orders of the slavers and journalist murderers while performing in a country with issues with slavery and human rights abuses and journalist murdering you're not a very good comedian. Or person.

Huge swath of comedians is just dead to me. Luckily there are plenty of others. Literally hundreds of others available at my fingertips <3

I'm so indifferent to the whole thing. America is barely any better at this point. We have little girls in detention centers who are somehow getting pregnant or disappearing altogether. Concentration camps are opening in at least four different states. And a bunch of jackboots waddling around, shooting soccer moms and trauma nurses in the head, and gassing infants into comas. If those comedians should be refusing to perform in Saudi Arabia because its leaders are abusing and murdering people, then performers should be protesting America too, because right now our leaders are doing the same thing, so let those comedians do whatever. It makes no difference.

Taking a job at a comedy club/event organized by those in the comedy community is part of being in comedy. I generally don't have an issue with that.

Taking a job funded by and for rich oligarchs/government is giving said governing entity soft power, because you are participating in and benefitting from soft power propaganda.

So whatever reasons all those comedians have to have taken that job, they have to live with that. Trying to be all "well America sucks, why didnt anyone get mad at Bill Burr for making money doing comedy in America or when he would go perform in the UK?"
Because
1) those governing bodies didnt pay for the gigs Bill Burr did
2) he heavily criticized the US and western culture in his sets (didnt when he was in Saudi Arabia
3) after seeing him participate in a government using money to try to distract people from the atrocities they commit, his criticisms in the past ring so hollow and fake. This is why people don't like a lot of those comedians and are critical of them. Gaining fans and fame from criticizing one's own government but will take propaganda money from a government that does similar/the same things to their own citizens?? And Whitney Cummings, Bill Burr and Dave Chappell have the fucking nerve to whine and moan that they didn't do anything wrong?? Fuck off.

Cliffhanger episode endings seem less impactful in the bingewatching era; I understand that it promotes the click-the-next-episode and keep engagement high model of streaming, but when one doesn't have to wait and speculate about the resolution of the cliffhanger - when there's no reason to engage on any deeper level or perform any sort of analysis in anticipation - it feels like it cheapens the experience.

secret because i feel like this is assigning too much emotional weight and significance to entertainment :(

[(Anonymous)]

Ooo yeah, good observation Secret OP. I notice how cheap a cliffhanger feels if I can instantly get to the next episode these days.

There was a really good show I watched on Netflix, but what I didn't like about the show were the cliffhanger endings to the episodes. It was always a seemingly big cliffhanger only to have said cliffhanger resolved as a nothing burger within the first 5 minutes of the next episode. If it didn't happen with nearly every episode for all 3 seasons (season 1 did this the most), I probably wouldn't have noticed or been annoyed with it.

There have been a lot of not-as-good shows I've watched that do the same thing. Few are effective

Just watching The Other Bennet Sister, and it has quite convinced me; Richard Coyle's eyebrows need to get many more acting roles. And the rest of him too, I suppose.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks, OP, didn't know he was in it! I'd give it a shot for him and Richard E. Grant alone.

I love Heated Rivalry, but can we stop saying it's the first show to depict queer couples?

Yeah. I have thought about this before. I have severe anemia and a thyroid condition and I determined that once my meds ran out, I would have about a year of steadily getting sicker and I'd be dead before the end of year two. This is based on how sick I got before my issues were sorted out. And my medical issues aren't even that 'serious' in the overall scheme of things, but I'd be super fucked in the end of the world.

The way Star Wars dudebros worship Zahn drives me up a wall. No, Mara is not canon. Mara was never canon. Mara was never going to be canon. She's cool and all. But Lucas had a clear vision for the Jedi and for Luke. Mara was not part of it. And that's okay. Not every cool thing in the EU needs to be made canon.

Transcript - Star Wars

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like a lot of Star Wars fans don't actually understand Star Wars. They think that only gritty, violent, dark things are good Star Wars. Have they seen the OT? That isn't the OT at all. I'm not saying that things like Andor aren't good. Amazing even. But pretending that they are better representatives of Star Wars than softer, happier, more hopeful things is just silly. Boba Fett wasn't the star of the OT.
