I will never understand why people get fidgety on a plane as soon as it has touched down. Are they planning to leave half way down the runway?

[popvulture]

@Mizmazzle hahaha I’m sorry to have exposed you to it

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture and on a Friday morning too!! Haha

-One of the reasons I won’t watch The Bear is because I saw a scene where he unironically calls something fire.
-I haven’t heard “fucks” but I’ll go ahead and proclaim it as stupid.
-I hate when people jump out of their seats as soon as the plane pulls up to the terminal. Also, I feel like planes should empty back to front. It’s just courtesy for those who had to sit in the back and fight for overhead storage.

Fucks has 12 year old still excited to say a swear and still a virgin energy.

Don’t love slaps either.

Fire I don’t care either way.

[popvulture]

@Matt yet you should still suck it up and watch the Bear...

[Jett129]

@Matt If you only watch 1 episode of The Bear,even though you won't really know what's going on,watch Season 2 episode 7,called Fishes. It has Jamie Lee Curtis and John Mulaney in the episode,and they both give really great performances.

@Matt the last shall be first?? Pinko!

[jerkules]

@Jett129 an amazing hour of TV, up there with the best I’ve ever watched. The tension just kept building, I loved the dynamics between the different family members - the dysfunction felt REAL.

[Matt]

I don’t like Jamie Lee Curtis either.

[Jett129]

@Matt I didn’t,initially,realize it was her. Her character isn’t especially likable either.

[sabergirl]

@Matt The Bear is really great. You’re missing out.

[mclaincausey]

I had to give it two tries but what a great show. The yelling and tension was grating in the first few episodes but it kind of opens up emotionally as it goes along. Really good stuff.

[Mizmazzle]

@mclaincausey haha. This is exactly how I felt last night when I tried watching it for the first time based on reviews in this thread. The high tension and rapid pace of the plot line development was not doing it for me. I love a series that allows the plot to slowly unfold. That combined with the stupid commercials on Hulu were grating on my nerves. Haha. Morgan says I’m too critical. I can agree with her. I am a very critical viewer.

Guess I have to give it another shot based on McLain’s experience.

Edit: Morgan just informed me she continued watching it without me today. Guess now I’ve got some catching up to do.

Yeah my wife didn’t resume with me. There’s an episode where Richie stages for an elite restaurant modeled after Alinea and it hit home for me on that one.

Try watching it with captions. That will give you a headache. After watching both seasons we went back and rewatched season one and it definitely felt slower the second time around. They never anticipated the popularity of the show and they thought maybe it will appeal to restaurant workers. They wanted it to be as authentic as possible. From what I heard I think they accomplished that.
