Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 1, 2013 Members Share Posted May 1, 2013 Ha! And I know it's pointless of me to complain about the same thing over and over again to you I dunno, I just have a feeling that if somehow the premier of AMC 2.0 came on and was exactly the same in tone as AMC 1970, you would still find fault.

Members Khan Posted May 1, 2013 Members Share Posted May 1, 2013 You think so? God, am I really that misanthropic? The thing is, Eric, the stuff I liked when I was younger, I like just as well today. It isn't as if I look back and say, "God, that was horrible, what was I thinking?" Nor do I look at something I hated way back when and say, "You know what? I was off-base before, this stuff is great!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted May 1, 2013 Members Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but anyone else can not stand Jeffery on OLTL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted May 1, 2013 Members Share Posted May 1, 2013 Also, this is very unpopular, but I miss Guza and the Mob element of GH. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Q's, but all the action is what got me into GH. And in the 90's/early 00's, Guza did respect the cure families. The Q's, Cassadine's, and Spencer's were on all the time. Wasn't it Frons who told him to get rid of the Q's because they were not appealing to the younger focus group?

Members Cheap21 Posted May 1, 2013 Members Share Posted May 1, 2013 Miranda on AMC is not all that. I think all the praise she is getting is overrated at this point. I don't dislike her, but theres something I don't like about her that I cant put my finger on. She's alright but not this instant star and best find that people are touting her out to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted May 1, 2013 Members Share Posted May 1, 2013 LOL i can't stand her atm. Binks gets her One Direction tickets and she's like such a jerk about it. I get not liking One Directions, but she's just so snotty. My friend said she was hot, but I didn't find her hot at all. Might be her personality lol.

Members greens_dupres Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 I like Emme Rylan's Lulu much more than anything JMB after 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 OK--I have to agree with the "unpopular" takes on Miranda and Jeffrey on AMC/OLTL--at least partially. I think both show a lot of potential, but I don't see the magic many seem to see with them at this point. It may be due to expectations--I don't know Corbin's work but I know he has many fans of his acting, and a friend thought he was good on Broadway in In the Heights, etc--and I admit with Rob as Petey on AMC I expected the WORST and so his decent delivery (someone tell him that when you deliver a line you do NOT have to always accompany it by an arm gesture, please) has been a pleasant surprise.

Members All My Shadows Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 Co-signing on everything marceline and Eric have posted in regards to AMC and OLTL. Cussing and nudity don't thrill me (well, nudity...), but it's exciting to see soaps actually take a step in a more realistic direction. People were having bitch fits in the 70s because they started showing shirtless men in bed and implying that couples were naked under the sheets. It evolves, and I don't think that means we'll one day just have people walking around on soaps with nothing on, cussing every other word. They've just gotten closer to life, and that's a good thing, IMO, especially if people love to trot out the "real people" reason for why they like soaps so much. Certain AMC viewers don't cuss, but some of these AMC characters definitely do and I see nothing wrong with hearing them do it when it makes sense. And yes, someone please show me the receipts of people claiming these things are the best ever. I think there's hyperbole on the hyperbole from people who aren't really feeling it.

Members Eric83 Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 Nobody on this board has said nuAMC and nuOLTL are the best thing they have ever watched, just that they are better than the network soaps at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 Re: the cursing I don't know why, but I get the impression that some of it has been ad-libbed. The actors are so excited they can actually do it that they do it and get it out of their systems. But a lot of it seems organic to me. Like when Jesse said, "What the fuc.k are you talking about?" It seemed a totally normal reaction at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yes, and as Darnell Williams, I think, pointed out in one interview, producers have had to come back and tell the actors to tone it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 The new of AMC opening reminds me of something a short-lived 1992 Norwegian soap would do. I feel very comfortable watching Bo and Nora dance like that in the OLTL opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
