The problem with FOX is not the people who greenlight shows.
It's the people who market them and make the timeslots.
Arrested Development would have been canceled after the first season on any other network. They kept it around because they knew it was a critically acclaimed gem. It just wasn't getting viewers.

Yo.
Yeah this.
Fox gets some really inspired shows at times.
Then does everything in their power to kill them off.
Hell yes, disco is great.

What? No. That is the opposite of what you just agreed with. Fox gave Arrested Development way more of a chance to find viewers than most shows would get. They wanted it to succeed, and gave it every chance they could. Fringe also got a more than fair chance as well. Firefly got screwed over, and I know a lot of nerds will never forgive that, but Fox is not the villain they're made out to be.
The only other example I can remember of a really good show being screwed over or cancelled early by Fox was Titus, and that was because Christopher Titus shot his mouth off at an executive at a party and the executive killed the show in retaliation.
I'm kind of glad the show was cancelled, that would have made for some rough chuckles.
Er, the heads of Fox did. But they screwed up advertising for it big time.
Futurama I remember it being impossible to watch half the time because it got pre-empted by some shitty baseball game I had no intention of watching, and then the episode was lost to the ether.

Not really talking so much about Arrested Development and Fringe.
Yeah, they did give those shows pretty good chances even if I do feel they were probably marketed incorrectly.
But back during the years with shows like Titus, Futurama and Firefly they were giving a lot of shows a bum deal.
Back then Fox would scramble shows around quite a bit and sometimes not even do all that great a job of telling people the time frame changed.
So, I'm not saying they're bad guys or anything but they have made some seemingly boneheaded decisions in the past. But that was more then than now.
These days I think TVs landscape has just changed. People don't watch like they used to so when you have a show that costs more than your American Idol's, Law & Orders, etc but gets significantly fewer viewers I guess it isn't unreasonable to not be that big on them.
This is really, really exciting news for me.
Gonna go buy me some Daft Punk.
I like Giorgio

Beyond and Give Life Back To Music are also great, as is Fragments of Time
really the only ones I'm not the hugest fans of are Get Lucky, Doin It Right (which was made in three days by the artist Panda Bear), and Lose Yourself To Dance

I appreciate the things that a few of the other films do better, but I have a big soft spot for the kind of Spielbergian Rosie-the-Riveter-esque WWII aesthetic Johnston uses, that USO show montage is tops, and there are few things that get my fists pumping more than those shots of Cap slinging his shield in slo mo.
Also Tommy Lee Jones is fantastic.

I think the only problem I had with it was
Like they were trying to put too much stuff in at once and even though it fits in the grand scheme of things a lot of stuff still felt underutilized.
Kind of like they were trying to fit as much as they could into the movie instead of focusing on any one thing.
Basically, it was a good movie but it was really obvious that its setting up whatever is next in Phase 2.
Also I somehow never noticed that they were experimenting on Bucky before Cap rescued him.

But yes, I too thought it was a little bit too much action figures and not enough Saving Private Ryan.

IM3 didn't strike me as setting up anything, to be honest
yeah, me either
but it's a movie that deals so much more with fallout than table-setting or prelude
and while I wouldn't call it a sense of finality (for obvious future movie reasons), it definitely ends with a sense of closure
Well, that or whatever GotG is going to be about.
Damn it Urban, stop raising my hopes.
