Workaholics (2011)
The best
At first I wasn't paying attention to this show and thought it wasn't funny. Boy was I wrong. I like simple effective concepts for shows. You take 3 goofballs who like to make bad puns, pump themselves up, and not take life very seriously and you've got a great show. Jillian is hilarious how tough she is and how shes like one of the guys. The 90s references are spot on from hip hop catch phrases, old rap lines, video games, tmnt they are spot on. I hope this show is on the air for many years. There's been a ton of times where I did exactly what they did on the show, ie when they were arguing over who would be which ninja turtle (everyone wants to be leonardo or mike and no one wants donatello) the outbursts adam has are also really funny. This is a very strong comedy if you can appreciate drug humor, bad puns, and being juvenile. Its a super relateable show if you are a goofball.
The Jeffersons (1975)
Incredible
I was born in 85 so I remember this show from nick at night in the 90s. Just started watching again on tv1. Such a funny show with a good balance of black and white characters. My favorite moments are when george drops the n word and even louise uses it. Its funny and doesn't offend me. Age has added charm and this and threes company are my favorite old sitcoms. Im actually glad i never watched many episodes because for me even though its over 30 years old its a fresh brand new experience for me. Mother Jefferson is hilarious as well. I love when she attacks georges friend whos hitting on louise. Its a shame it was canceled so abruptly and there was no proper series finale. Great show!
Batman (1989)
One of the best movies ever
A reviewer from New Zealand has a great review on here and I agree with every word. This movie is my favorite movie of all time. You had to have seen it back in 89 to understand how brilliant it was. I was only 4 and I could tell it was a masterpiece. Every second of Elfman's score matches what you see on screen brilliantly. Every time you see Keaton's grin under the mask and that awesome batman logo on his suit it is a treat. This movie still has the best bat suit ever. It is so tough and rugged. Batman return suit was OK but 89s is still the most scary. In batman 89 you always have the perfect amount darkness around the suit to male it look perfect. Visually it is the most appealing movie I've ever seen up there with Psycho and Vertigo. Also Keaton has the toughest portrayal of batman. He stands up and boxes his enemies in a street fighting style which makes sense because all conflicts take place in "street settings" it is so satisfying when u see batman get to beat the crap out of Nicholson at the end and drop have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight. When batman spreads his wings at the beginning and that Elfman music kicks in it gives me chills. And of course Nicholson is amazing. This movie also works in the gangster genre. It angers me how good it is. Finally i would say the visual style is timeless. This movie was made in the late 80s but i see no 80s influences other than the cars. It will always be the 1940s in that world. Warner bros hiring Burton was genius. Great art direction, music, costumes, action, acting, and overall vision of batman there will ever be. I've watched it over 100 times and i never get bored with it. Burton has described the movie as operatic and i think that is really fitting.
