I've noticed in the course of discussion about Bojack Horseman a certain reappearing misconception. That is that Bojack is about how "meaningless and terrible" life is. They point to money, fame, sexual exploits & professional success of the main character and say "even all that doesn't change the fact that life is still empty and cruel!" It is a shallow & ignorant interpretation that I hope to set right.
What's important to understand is that Bojack is a paradoxical creature. He despises his fellow man, yet yearns for their approbation. He is convinced his intelligence makes him superior, yet simultaneously considers it a curse because he cannot comprehend & obtain lasting contentment the way others seem to do effortlessly. Bojack's dissatisfaction stems from himself. Not from any cruelness inherent in existence, but from the way he pathologically keeps his desires beyond his reach. While he believes that he is someone who simply accepts the cold indifference of existence exactly how it is; in actuality he is perpetually unhappy because he refuses to come to terms with reality. Bojack refuses to be satisfied unless he can eat his cake and have it too. He accepts nothing less than his idealized fantasies and becomes depressed when he invariably finds that putting his dreams into action necessitates some degradation of the ideal.
Bj's foil is his old girlfriend who finds contentment; not with success, money, fame or exploits, but with simplicity. She has no grand ambitions to torment her. Bojack rejected that life and lives in a hell of unsatisfied desires. The moral of Bojack is not that "life is uncaring, worthless & nothing matters" or that "you can never fill that void inside of you no matter how hard you try." It's that "life is what you make of it".
There's more to be said about influence of Hollywoo on the inner wellbeing of the characters. It's no coincidence for instances that the one character wholly satisfied with life did so by leaving the city.
DUDE ENTRY LEVEL EXISTENTIALISM USING CARTOON AS A VEHICLE LOL
The choice of "Hollywoo" as the setting reveals a lot about the intentions of the creators. Hollywood is synonymous with movies, TV & ultimately fantasies. There's an 'unrealness' which is important to consider. It's a place where dreams are manufactured & sold, and the characters who inhabit it are all in one way or another there to go after dreams. What they find is that they've only pinned their happiness on a vapor. Something unreal, fleeting & intangible. Bojack's dreams as mentioned above come down to a desire for the external world to validate his own inner self image.
Diane dreams about doing good. About righting wrongs & helping the disadvantaged. She pictures herself as a caring individual & desires an opportunity to prove it. Ultimately she comes to find that her conceptions about what being a 'good person' entailed were entirely self serving. With her fantasies deflated by reality she lapses into depression like Bojack.
Mr. Peanutbutter on the other hand is not overtly depressed. He is characterized by his unflagging high spirits, affability & optimism. But his happiness is shallow & facile. He admits that he sees no meaning in life & is only distracting himself through constant action. Unlike the other two his fantasies change so often they never lose novelty, before he can become disillusioned he has already moved on. But he too would find himself like the others if his perpetual action were to come to a halt.
Princess Carolina is so driven by her professional aspirations that she becomes blind to reality. Her relationship with Vince Adultman is emblematic of his. She loses sight of everything that isn't related to her work. Even the obvious fact of Vince's true identity. There is also something to be said of her animosity with her perpetual superior Vanessa Gecko. She resents that there exists someone better/more successful and it torments her.

That's definitely a valid interpretation, but that doesn't stop the fact that life us uncaring, worthless, and nothing matters, and that the show is apt at showing this.
>>69753980
Goddamn posts like these are so goddamn worthless.
My dad loved this show.

My wifes son loves it
One of my buddies has this stupid meme game where if he tricks you to saying the name of a celebrity he immediately blurts out "YOU'D FUCK (celebrity)"
I asked him "Who loves orange soda"

Is there hope he may change his mind?
I was so looking forward to seeing him and Waltz back in a sequel to Spectre ;_;
>>69753333
He'll be fine
>>69753333
From what I understand, he's still under contract for one more Bond film. He just turned down the option to do two more beyond that.
>>69753458
Well let's hope MBM somehow gets him to participate.
Since he turned down over 100 million... what else can they offer him?
Doesnt Craig know that without Bond he will become Brendan Fraser, and any other actor who is disappeared off Hollywood, never to be cast in big productions ever again.
It'sEarth 2's Hal Jordan
it's Eddie
how is it barry defeats any of these people? every single one of them so far has been stronger and faster.
Wells knew the secret to being faster and was way smarter
Zoom has been faster for most of it and seems to be able to dial all 10 fucking chevrons
I loved how Barry instantly fell in love with this guy after being trapped in the same room with him for a day
Not even joking that was pretty funny
what are you most looking forward towards in the new episodes?
The extreme intensity of butthurt from the people who dislike this show or think it's morally wrong.
I hope someone tries to commit suicide with a ballpoint pen again.

>implying /tv/ is a board where genuine art is discussed.
That being said you sound like a complete new fag that just found the movie on Netflix so you are not much better.
But yes. It is the objectively best adaptation of the book in film, better than the book itself in many ways, and a masterpiece. Though it is very difficult to watch. I love the film to death, top 5 all time, but I have trouble sitting through the entire film. Kind of strange that is.
I've always wanted to see this, but I've never watched it.
Hugh Jackman is currently casting his replacement

Did you even realize that Jonathan Cold from The Foreigner is the same character from the 2005 classic Black Dawn?
This all ties in to the larger SSCU where he picks up the role again in numerous films including A Good Man where there are a bunch of references to him playing Jonathan Cold again but under a different alias after years of wetwork. He could even be playing Jonathan Cold in The Sniper because he's only ever referred to as an alias and he's a decorated army vet yet again.
How will the upcoming End of a Gun tie into the larger SSCU picture? Decker is very clearly another codename. Could be Cold again.
What about the soon to be released Cyborg Nemesis? Is Jonathan Cold a cyborg?
>>69752797
easy................. EEEEASYY

every character in a steven seagal movie is actually the same person
