#Happy! Patton Oswalt

[nailwraps]

Sooner or later, Peacock is going to announce Law & Order: Organized Crime S5 & when they do, I ask anyone reading this to PLEASE make your voices heard & let them know (be it Facebook, twitter, or instagram) they need to save Happy! next; Chris Meloni's other (& WILD) masterpiece that Syfy should've NEVER cancelled.

So can I count on your support when that day comes? Because I know you all want this show back because a masterpiece like Happy! CANNOT end where it did.

#SaveHappy for (#PeacockTV)!

Wait. So that's where they'll end Happy! ?

They could have prolong the end where Sax killed Smoothie. That part could have been a whole other season right there.

And what about the mom and Hailey???

And they just brush pass that imaginary cloud God scene like that. They could have done a whole bit with that and made it even more funnier and sinister-y

[gorewound]

If you haven't seen the series Happy! Starring Christopher Meloni and Patton Oswalt I seriously recommend giving it a look. It's wild and wacky and absolutely fucked up and just a great time.

Oh, some content warnings though: EVERYTHING, NOT JOKING EVERYTHING ALL CONTENT WARNINGS ALL OF THEM HOLY SHIT NOT A JOKE.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - my takes, thoughts and stuff I kinda got wrong

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE MOVIE!!!

1) First off: things I definitely got wrong after thoroughly enjoying the teaser trailer…

James Acaster = NOT OSCAR BARRETT. Snarky scientist employed by Mr Zeddemore? Yes, absolutely. Anyone else get a slight Alan Tudyk vibe from his character?

Secret Society? Well, kind of? Not late 1890s but STILL Victorian era. And, why exactly would these “Adventurers” want to release a revenge-bent ancient deity? Because they can? For that matter, did they maybe kidnap Nadeem’s grandmother, or steal the orb from her? There’s so much more to her story (and presumably her family/predecessors in regard to keeping Garraka’s prison safe and hidden) we don’t know about…

On that note, Garakka wasn’t trying to escape the containment unit, he wanted to release all the ghosts within it (that the guys had caught AFTER 1984? after Peck originally turned it off? Gil, more details and context please!)

But I DID get Patton Oswalt’s character right! Li-freaking-brarian! And the whole “under-library?”Totally borrowed from the Video Game (Special Archives level!)

2) Couldn’t help these ideas, they just popped in there…and sort of in order of the movie’s chronology:

-How EXACTLY did Walter “Dickless” Peck go from the EPA to MAYOR OF NYC?!

-Darn that final edit! I liked the bit with “overruled! sustained!” from Paul and Finn.

-Couldn’t Winston have helped fix up the firehouse a LITTLE more over the last, what 2 years? I mean, it’s a business AND a single family home now!

-Also guessing they hauled as much of Egon’s equipment, tech and books as they could from Summerville to Manhattan, right?

-Love Janine being back and as sassy as ever…but mainly throwing in one-liners for the sake of exposition? Which I got a kick out of, don’t get me wrong, but they could’ve gone a little deeper with her character, possibly? Guess I’m still not happy with how much of Annie’s scenes got cut in “Afterlife…”

-Glad Callie’s embraced her Ghostbuster heritage. And look at her piloting that drone trap! Boom!

-OMG Phoebe. I have ALL the feels for her moreso than before. 15, frustrated, feeling isolated…and upping the acerbic sarcasm to 11…then doing something that very well could be read as, maybe more than purely experimental?, at least in my mind (look closely…when she gets into that extractor, her heart rate drops to 42 bpm). And what if something went wrong with the timer?

-And OMG when Melody double crossed her…was I the only one who thought they’d kiss, maybe? Anyone else think of that plot device from the newer DuckTales first season? Just me?

-Or did the orb and wax cylinder give anyone Venture Brothers season 3 vibes?

-Or how the “open rift over the firehouse to the spirit world” idea totally made me think of new Doctor Who, season 1?

-Oh yeah, Kumail is a fire MASTER, and NOT a Fire BENDER!

-One more: NARNIA AND MIDDLE EARTH JOKES!!!

Damn, I need a part 2 after all these pop culture mentions. I’ll pick this up tomorrow.

Peace out, Ghostheads!

January 27: Happy 55th Birthday to Actor and Comedian Patton Oswalt, who provided the voices of the characters of Alan Shapiro throughout the seventh season (2016) of Archer, the Moody Foodie on Bob’s Burgers, Franz on Gravity Falls, Beta Seven on Rick and Morty, and Nom Nom on We Bare Bears.

These are floppin’ so bad from the algo but idgaf

Ratatouille patootie stuff and Happy! from some obscure Syfy show I hope people remember (yes, I did only watch the show because of the animated mc voiced by Patton Oswalt)

[nailwraps]

I want to again call my Happy! brothers and sisters to arms as we now have a fighting chance again to save the beloved and acclaimed cult series Syfy should've NEVER cancelled!

With Law and Order: Organized Crime's fate in the air, there's a chance Chris Meloni will have more time on his hands, meaning we have an opportunity to convince Universal (and their divisions/connections) to revive his wild and crazy show Happy! for the long-demanded 3rd season!

Please make your voice, love, and demand know throughout all of social media the same way Law and Order fans are in any way you can. If they can do, we can do it!

And if you haven't seen Happy! yet, you HAVE to check it out and with season 2 taking place during Easter, now's a good time to start (or revisit and remind yourself why it needs to be saved). And reminder; season 3 is set to take place during Halloween!

It's time for the #SaveHappy Revolution to begin again!

Happy 55th, Patton Oswalt.

Anyway, I was thinking about it in a more Doylist sense, and I think whatever happens in S3 (knock on wood) will be much more Pratchett-esque because, of course, he was involved. I think that means it will be on a broader scale, more humanist, and also with smaller, weirder characters, like the Them—maybe Them, even, although they would probably need to be recast. And yet it will be interesting to see how the ideas work now when they were generated in the 90s, a time of relative peace. Obviously, there were horrible wars on at the time, but there wasn’t intense climate change or resurgent fascism. You could be a bit playful about concepts of the apocalypse. That’s a trickier needle to thread now.

But I do hope they get Patton Oswalt back to do that bit with the televangelist. The Four Horsemen, even.

Since Pratchett was not a romance writer, he probably didn’t envision a major falling-out between Aziraphale and Crowley, so much as a drifting apart and maybe a quarrel. That’s why I don’t think the theories about body-swapping, etc. really hold water.

Although Aziraphale is going to be terrible at his job—assuming he’s not just being lured up there for something horrific—it will be necessary to the happy resolution of the story that he took it. He’ll have to be in that position to take some kind of action, possibly by accident or by stealing a MacGuffin. And he’s probably going to have to beg Crowley to help him, not for his sake but for the planet’s. He’ll do it but absolutely refuse to speak to him on any other terms at first.

I hope there are more historical flashbacks. They’re some of my favorite bits, and they leaven the plot.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love the little details they add on #Happy! When he hand sanitizer all 4 of the horse hoof in Season 2 Episode 9

Since it seems like everyone has been having A Bit Of A Time this week, here's a bunch Andy shirtless. 👀 Happy Friday!

If I ever meet Patton Oswalt I will thank him for inadvertently getting Andy to do an entire interview shirtless. 🙌

"After navigating the path, Oswalt pointed at the alcove. 'I feel like I should have gone in there wearing one outfit and come out wearing something different,' he said. "That would have been a real virtuoso.'

In the audience, Serkis took that comment as a challenge. 'Patton set me up,' he said to TheWrap afterward. 'So I started thinking, what can I do?'"
