Ha, I only noticed your second question mark and the possibility that you were saying the show was great after I posted about its quality.

I saw this movie in the theater. Pretty good.

It’s pretty good. You’ll have to get used to Peck’s gravel voice, but he narrates a compelling piece of colonial and white supremacist history interspersed with his own memoir as a kid discovering racism. The map graphics, showing things like the Atlantic slave trade, are great. He goes into pop culture…

Noah Hawley’s doing an Alien TV series? This version of Mad Libs I can like, if done well. (Fargo season 4 wasn’t good.) Hope Jean Smart’s in it; hell, make her the lead.

Naw. Cliff’s flashback is triggered because Rick on his current project—the Western TV show—tells him that the stunt coordinator is best friends with the stunt coordinator on The Green Hornet (Kurt Russell’s character). We see how Cliff botched that job. Remembering it, Cliff says “Fair enough”, as in he gets why they…

There’s a small part in Raoul Peck’s documentary series, Exterminate All The Brutes where he laments how American TV became less and less intellectual. It used to have smart people and debates on. It does no longer. From the clips of McCain I saw, she was an idiot. If The View wants to throw a curveball, hire someone…

Meaningless corporate-speak in place of premise is a good way to get the audience excited about your movie!

Ha! Hadn’t thought of it like that, but you may be right.

Woman holds up sign reading “You’re All Winners!” Accidentally kills 10 people.

The show better answer why Allison doesn’t leave Kevin very soon; I can’t suspend my disbelief for too long. Hopefully there’s a deliberate and good reason we don’t know it yet, just as there should be a deliberate reason why the “real world” season long plot is just as outlandish as the sitcom plots. I don’t think…

Still on: the movie about the creation of Flaming Hot Cheetos based on the guy who lied about inventing Flaming Hot Cheetos. So about the same truth value as Jerry's Pop Tarts movie if that's based on a made-up joke. The real story would be interesting too.

See also the 2020 movie with Rosamund Pike called I Care A Lot. You have not been so angry toward a fictional character as you will be with her.

Thanks. I think I was thinking of “La Revolution.” I may have conflated this show’s title with Snyder’s Army of the Dead.

Oh, not a French zombie/vampire show as I vaguely recall a similar sounding title with that premise. There are too many Netflix shows. Please eliminate 3, 000. Not a crackpot.

No, but it comes with an extra set of long, clip-on nails to help scratch your back. And the Urban Sombrero.

Do we all get as a gift the Elaine mannequin? I would like the Elaine mannequin. For, reasons.

It’s hypocritical for right-wingers to praise Jon for these comments but ignore and/or attack him on years worth of criticism against their party, ideology, and behavior. Analogous to a person being a science-denier in one area but using the fruits of that same science in another.

The “I know more than trained, professional experts in their complex fields because I watched some YouTube videos” mentality is really quite something. It’s a monstrous form of egotism, actually. It’s like thinking you can fly a plane without having any training in or knowledge of planes. Would most people think they…

Prematurely commenting before pressing “play” on the clip—always a good idea—I’m going to say that it’s my understanding that “critical race theory” actually has a more precise definition than the suggested in this write-up: it was an academic framework in law school that recognized how pervasively the legal system…

I think I ate there once, but plenty of chain restaurants serve mediocre food, and they’re still around.
