Vinyl - HBO TV Show (2 Viewers)

Well the 3rd episode was more boring than the 2nd.

Only things remotely interesting going on is Richy trying to find new talent and the possibilities of Lester Grimes story. Is he gonna start a Hip Hop label and make a fortune (bit early for hiphop right?) ?

First episode felt like it was directed by Scorsese's nephew

Seamus Scorcese Jr

Crap! Westworld better be good

Westworld is delayed.....again. David Fincher's 80s? 90s? set music video comedy has ceased production during filming to do script work (think it might be dead now). They also couldn't work out a budget with Fincher for Utopia so he walked.

David Simon 70's set porn show is greenlit and in the works. He's one of the last forward thinking people left in television that are challenging narrative conventions.

I think Terrence Winter is a bit of a hack Alice Cooper Made A Cameo On 'Vinyl' Last Night, Terence Winter Says David Bowie Will Be Portrayed On The Show

The Alice Cooper story and all "real" cameos are not helping the show. Having real people in Boardwalk Empire worked excellently but in this it's just shit!

Now THAT was a good fucking episode. See, keep the majority of the episode in the office and it's golden!

... watched the first episode of this and then forgot it existed...

One of the better ones, yeah.

The show has structural problems and the writers are not doing a very good job of weaving the various plot strands together. The murder storyline is ridiculously silly and during the music biz parts Richie seems to temporarily forget that he bashed an acquaintance's head in with an award statue. It's just really inconsistent.

Having said that I've grown to like most of the characters and there's a guilty pleasure in seeing which real life musician they'll make a hash of portraying next.

I hear Sly Stone was on it the other day. I need to get around to this.

It was a fictional character that looked like Sly

 

[Lili Marlene]

Would they not just say it was him?

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Would they not just say it was him?

Dunno, but he was called Hannibal in the show. Dunno what the legalities are around portraying real people...

 

[nooleen]

he probably doesn't look like that any more

 

[Lili Marlene]

Huh? The show is set in the 70's.

 

[nooleen]

ah i thought you meant like a cameo

 

[ernesto]

watched the first three episodes. its a bag of shite but an entertaining one nonetheless

This week it was kind of funny at the start because it was funny, and then at the end it was funny because it was so terrible.
