I got the feel watching it that the followers really were cool with Osho having all that stuff. They never indicated that they were some sort of communist paradise and openly marketed and sold goods. The followers for the most part seemed to have their priority on creating the ideal community, and if their leader wanted to roll around in RR's all day it was no biggie.

Probably true. But their idea of an ideal community is just so flakey. Families discouraged, having children virtually prohibited. And of course, you have to cut off all your previous relationships and connections. Hand over all your money. These movements are magnets for lost souls - lost, educated, bored, white, middle-class souls. Note how the people in genuine Eastern cultures don't fall for this ####.

Many years ago, it was announced that Mitch Hurwitz was working on re-editing Season 4 of Arrested Development into chronological order. Ron Howard even tweeted out photos from the recording booth when he was doing the new narration.

Then, years passed and I assumed we would never hear about this again.

Arrested Development Season 4 Remix coming this Friday...

Season 5 coming sooner than you'd expect.

John Mulaney's new special is out today and it's fantastic. The only negative is that he did some of the material when he hosted NHL.

Yup. I watched it last night. Thought it was another good bit.

The horse in a hospital analogy was amazing.

By virtue of not hating the new Adam Sandler movie I think I actually like it.

X Company - any good? Looks to only have 3 seasons so a quick watch but don't want to waste my time if it's crap.

Quote:
Set in the dangerous era of World War II, "X Company" follows the stories and adventures of five highly skilled young recruits as they are torn from their lives to train as agents at a secret training facility on the shores of Lake Ontario called Camp X. The agents risk torture or death in each operation, and it is up to them to navigate out of situations where no rules apply. The agents parachute behind enemy lines where anything is fair game, and sabotage, deception, and glamour are part of everyday life. It is an original story about spy craft and the heroes that led the charge to change the world.

I liked X Company but I'm a sucker for WWII stuff. It's good.

It's really good so far. Feels like Seasons 1-3 again, though I enjoyed the first Season 4 mix as well.

There's lots of new jokes throughout too.

Who's watching Genius and can tell me if it's ok to pick up season 2 not having watched S1? Reading something on the show it seems that might work.

Ya it’s completely different and you’ll have no issue starting with season 2. I recommend S1 though!

Thank you. My plan was to eventually watch S1 on rebroadcast. I have the start of S2 on the PVR now.

Watched Evil Genius over the weekend. A true crime story. Amazing how many bad people and bad things can go down in a town of 100,000. Only four episodes, but really well done and extra creepy.
