When looking through the new norm replies i found thus Christian chud shilling his small town animated slice of life kino.
Here is a full ep:
It started as a book: Vous Voilà https://a.co/d/08PCMJlR
And then a gba game: https://cinemint.itch.io/tremblay-island
And now its a show. Its the kinda slice of life stuff that reminds me of chilling with my friends and doing nothing but wandering around the woods, peepeeing around stores, cuddling, catching fireflies and other animals, and other stuff. Ppl in the city dont seem to want to do that. Cities make me sad.

Stole the image from /h/corn. It made me wonder: What is your perfect kino time?
There was a period during my childhood when my family would gather every few nights in the living room and watch an episode of some long-running TV-show together. My mom had just bought a projector, so we would switch-off all the lights and the only light came from the projection on the big white screen at the end of the room that went from the ceiling to the floor. It made it so the whole room was bathed in shadows and the faces of my family were only illuminated during bright and colorful scenes. There weren't enough chairs and spots on the couch to accommodate everyone so I'd sit on the cold tile floor and try to pet the cats as they came and went. It was always a whole shebang trying to get the movie to play and the subtitles to sync so we'd make shadow puppets on the screen while my brother would troubleshoot it.
My second favorite kino-time was in college, real late in the night in my flat I'd order an extra-large pizza, from the local shop which was amazing, with a crème fraiche base and an extra egg in the middle. And then I'd eat it and get really hammered off Kronenbourgs (don't judge me) as I watched, sitting at my desk indian-style, with my cat on my lap. Had some of my impactful kino moments during those times from movies that mostly didn't warrant them.
Never managed to recreate those times, and looking back although the movies were good if they had been removed from the setting I wouldn't have such strong and fond memories of them.
So what's your favorite kino memory?

I know there are a whole bunch of fellow neurodivergent Community fans here, so if you haven't already seen this it's a fun watch. Gillian held on to her cryogenic sperm container prop all these years later, and Pedro completely fails to maintain character during the "hypervirile sperm" dialogue.
There's a followup Q&A video here:
with gratuitous Alison Brie feet exposure (someone ping the footstrags for me; I am not that particular flavor of degenerate and I don't want to waste my marseycoins on them)

Season 1 to 3 are strong. Kino.
Season 4 to 5 are a little dumb. Drags.
Season 6 is fine. Solid.
Season 7 is dumb but in a golden retriever kind of way so you don't really mind it, and reminds people why they are invested in the show by tugging on your heartstrings.
A few niggles about the show that might throw off some people about it.
Taylor Mason who comes in during Season 2, is a godawful hamfisted autsitic they/them in seasons 2 and 3. Becomes more human and more bearable in later seasons as they grow as a person.
Chuck Rhoades aka Paul Giamatti not only gets dumber and dumber in each progressive season (except for 6 and 7 where he stops being as stupid in seasons 3-5). He also self-inserts his BDSM fantasies into the shows and has his actual real llife young Asian girlfriend also put into the show as his BDSM mistress but also has her whip him in the show. Paul Giamatti is a certified chad.
Bobby Axelrod literally is a billionaire psy-ops to make billionaires seem human. However his eyes and ginger-ness prevents that because he likes to go bug-eyed a lot so you remember that billionaires are not people.
Mike "Wags" Wagner is a dad-bod Zaddy. He's great.
Wendy Rhoades aka Chuck's wife has much better chemistry with Bobby Axelrod and is possibly the most unrealistic person in this show. In real life she would be cucking Chuck with Bobby.
All the Black people in the show are the 0.0001% creme de la creme of the African American community. I don't think anything actually seriously bad happens to them at any point in the show. This is a good litmus test to see if you are actually racist to black people or if you just hate poor people.
Mark Cuban shows up a few times for some fricking reason. Skip all scenes with him. It adds nothing, if anything it takes me out it because I don't believe he's got the cajones to hang out with the characters in the show in real life because they literally might stab him in the kidney for whatever is in his wallet.
Overall, I give the series a solid 7.5. Worth watching if you ran out of things to watch.
Edit: Oh I forgot theres also mild anti-semitism sprinkled in whenever Chuck's father is in the scenes.

answer: The Boys is a superhero show on Amazon. The basic premise is what if superheroes were celebrities and acted like the worst celebrities out there. The current season is about the strongest hero(Homelander a parody of Superman and Captain America) courting white nationalists as they will tolerate and support all the awful things he does and applaud him for them. It draws a lot of parallels to Trump and his conspiracy theorist/white nationalists base
It's worth noting the show has always been capital b Blatant that Homelander is a parody of patriotism getting into bed with racist Christian fascists. Among his very first public appearances in the show is him flying across a giant cross while in the pose of Jesus on the cross. Later, he gets literally seduced by a character named after a white power message board. The show has never been subtle about this. The only new thing is that some of the people it was parodying seem to have figured it out.
Answer: The show is a dark satire, and heavily influenced by the current political climate, and Trump in particular. The main antagonist of the show, a “Supe” (short for super) named Homelander has descended into authoritarianism. Each season of the show digs in a bit harder. In the first few sessions there was some folks on the Right who missed the whole satire aspect and considered Homelander the hero, not realizing he was the villain and they were the butt of the jokes.
Recently there was an interview with the show runner who highlighted a lot of these points in no unclear terms. He also noted that he was planning to lean in even more on the political similarities with the rhetoric from Homelander.
I have only recently started watching the show and I cannot, for the life of me, understand how people missed Homelander being a villain. It's in the first episode! He's basically "facsim will come to America wrapped in a flag" personified! How did anyone miss this????
Considering even the main show sub says the new season is crap, I'm presuming these redditors don't watch the show and parrot twitter talking points, makes sense considering how astroturfed /r/outoftheloop is.
The whole thread has zero criticism of the show writing is all THE FASCISTS AND MAGANAZIS TROLLS HATE IT!!!

The fatness isn't the issue, since she's supposed to be comic relief, but I find her acting jawdroppingly incompetent. I checked out the Reddit sub and she's stubbornly defended and praised to the skies for her acting/comedic chops.
Here's a compilation clip of her performances on Hacks.
I found her so jarringly bad I almost thought she was the inspiration of the Maria Sophia character on Curb, except that character might predate her.
I can't remember seeing acting this poor on a comedy series, especially not on HBO.
As for one of the two leads, Einbinder, all I hear when she opens her mouth is Michael Cera
The show is not funny. They actually have Einbinder saying “I still have my dignity” then following it with a pratfall, for frick's sakes. However there are titties in one episode.

How do we retract this?"
"Let's just write him into the show. "
"But...Ki-Adi isn't born yet for another 40 years"
"no one will notice. And if they do, this is my canon now. Just do it."
- we…
Ki something isn't supposed to show up in the new show but he did. Star Wars nerds are seething over it. I don't know why this showed up on my Twitter feed but it's probably because I've clicked on Twitter links from here so thanks a lot dorks.
