Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

[Coco]

I tried watching Sons of Anarchy and got a few episodes in to season 2. I get that they want to push the morally ambiguous angle, but when Charlie Hunnam is the guy you have representing the side of good, you might have trouble keeping a large portion of your audience.

I can live with Hunnam even though I think he's kind of shit.

The problem is that after a while, most of the material just falls flat for me. I don't care about these people. I don't care about this club. I don't care about this culture. I don't care about Gemma's passive-aggressive bullshit. I don't care about the latest nonsensical bit of drama-free business with the blacks, or the Irish, or whichever whoever-the-fuck. I don't care that Kurt Sutter *********es to Shakespeare. I don't believe any of the danger any more. Even when consequences arrive, like they did for some characters did this season, it's too late for me.

There have been countless fantastic gritty crime dramas on cable over the last fifteen years. As far as I'm concerned, SOA is nothing more than a successful bastard-child of the good ones. The stuff with great characters, great performances, and captivating, unforgettable material.

To me, it's on the same level as The Walking Dead: Popular garbage.

Super-talky ninety minute episodes because Kurt Sutter likes to hear himself type even though his characters are saying or doing nothing remotely interesting? Fuck right off.

Of course there's one season left. I doubt I'll walk away even though I fucking loathe the show.

I didn't intend to rant. SOA gives me Stormtrooper-esque spikes in blood pressure.

You're going to have to explain your sig to me. Did you just edit NorCal and I out because you didn't want to group us in with the rest of NJX, or are you comparing me to RVD and NorCal to Kelly Kelly? If it's the latter, I'd start running. Maybe change your name.

That's a fair point, but I'm guessing that if they had a higher quality actor playing Jacks, they'd have an even sizable audience.

I've met SOA fans. Generally pretty trashy. Their standards aren't the same as ours.

Am I the only one watching this Kanas City-Indy game? It's been a roller coaster of emotion for me, hopefully the Colts complete this comeback.

The Walking Dead line resonates with me. Walking Dead is a pretty brilliant show because they have zombies and zombie violence, and it all looks pretty awesome. That said, when it comes time to do anything else, it's pretty much complete crap. But they don't need to be good at anything else, because there's a huge audience that will watch zombies for the sake of zombies. I guess the same applies to biker gangs. It's like a white trash mob movie.

I forgot about that thread. NJX took a bit of a drubbing there.

Says the man that didn't like Speed Racer. I'm starting to think that different people have different sensibilities when it comes to entertainment options.

They still need two touchdowns to tie it up. Not exactly comeback territory, but at least they're making it into a game.

Well I don't know why everyone except me insists on being wrong!

Everything is going their way right now, they get a touchdown this drive and it's back to anybodies game.

Well, business has definitely picked up. This is exciting.

I was about to come in and talk about it. Very exciting. I am still more excited for Saints/Eagles but this has been a heck of a game.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

This game has been insane. Glad Smith got in trouble for grounding there and now its 4th down. Indy has this provided they don't screw up.

 

[JGlass]

Annnnnnnnd that's the game. Nice try, Bowe.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

HOLY SHIT! WHAT A COMEBACK!

 

[Richard Blonoff]

A little late, but fuck it.

 

[justinsayne]

Did we get new avatars, or did you just get one cause your mod & that makes you extra special now?

 

[Richard Blonoff]

The latter

 

[nightmare]

Admit it, you tossed someone off behind the Quick Stop again...


I dont know what worries me more Yaz, the pony fetish or you mouth-blending baby batter milkshakes for favors...

 

[JGlass]

A little late, but fuck it.

And you even used a (fictional) Colts fan for your gif. Very festive.

Did we get new avatars, or did you just get one cause your mod & that makes you extra special now?

We were mods and we didn't get that shit! I can't really complain, though: having this jumbo-sized inbox and sexy font for my user title is good enough for me. Besides, I'd hate to confuse people by changing my avatar.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

When I first changed to this username I was going to use an Edge avatar, then I realized there was only 1 and didn't wanna steal your avatar J.

True story.

Well I appreciate that, but there is another Edge avatar, and it probably makes more sense for your username. It's in the 2010 collection.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

I missed that one.

Avatar change time.

Quoting you because you're the only one that cares.

I just watched the episode of In Treatment where

Spoiler

Kate and Paul have the huge fight and Kate reveals she had an affair.

That's some pretty heavy shit to drop in the 9th episode, especially considering that would only be the second week.

I'm surprised HBO let a show like this exist. It demands a crazy level of commitment from its viewers, especially with a story arc like this that effects almost every episode.

Just play the game instead. It's everything the show should be and more.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I second that. The game by Telltale games is amazing.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

The Wolf Among Us by them is amazing.

Aren't they also making a GoT one soon as well?

I have yet to get to Wolf Among Us (waiting for a price drop) but the reception has been strong to it. Also Season Two of TWD is out.

And yeah, there is a GoT one forthcoming which could be incredible. Both GoT games so far have been pretty poor so I'm really hoping for some awesomeness.
