Bill Hader playing three vaguely Hungarian people who are maybe scamming Larry is such a batshit premise but goddamn does it work.

He seems like a LOT. Like, a LOT. But I am with you. Based on what I read on the profile, it seems like his coworkers have to worry more about straining their eyes (thanks to all the rolling) than being abused or mistreated by him. 

I think the tolerance for this type of behavior from an actor is different now than it was for Daniel Day-Lewis when he was starting out. These articles have explained to me why Strong isn’t in more movies in spite of being a very good actor- it’s just not worth the trouble. Cox is right in that Strong is hurting…

Same. I felt respect because this is a guy who has wholeheartedly pursued his passion his entire adult life.  How many of us can say that? 

It feels like there’s been a flattening from “some actors have used method acting as an excuse to abuse people” into “method actors abuse people”.

To be fair, a lot of people do hate Daniel Day-Lewis for his process.

But were Larry’s actor troubles “unintentionally timely”? I bet HBO has as much office gossip as any workplace. They knew that profile was being published and I think it was absolutely intentional. And hilarious

know what’s interesting? do you recall when Larry hosted SNL and played Bernie Sanders in a Curb-themed sketch?

You are projecting in regards to Snook. That seems to happen a lot these days with people hyper focused on such things. Snook's curves always comes out in full force in non business attire. There is nothing that can hide it. She is still often filmed from top half up and the camera doesn't often follow her from…

I didn't notice the Snook torso focus but either way is that male gaze or is it a narrative touch due to the pregnancy drama?

Going to be some great John Updike jokes and headlines about this title when reviews come out.

Suddenly I’m looking forward to this. I really enjoyed the last time a Coppola worked on a re-imagining of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

Okay so a cabin in the woods. Right away, there’s gotta be a road or at least a trail leading from it to... out of the woods. Like literally how else would whoever built have... built it? And clearly made trips to “town” for supplies. I can suspend my disbelief for a lot here, but not that. Either this gets brought up…

I just want to tip my hat to HBO dollars spent very well. First using Hudson Yards and The Shed for part of the party set as well as other locations to pull off a singularly wretched display of excess wealth in the guise of a party. That it turned out to be one of the circles of Hell Dante could only dream about for…

I’m trying to decide how I feel about Roman’s recent turn. You can’t rightly say it’s out of character — he was basically introduced as The Worst Roy back in the pilot, and he’s always been an asshole. But I was really impressed at how the show built from that point so that Roman was still a crude asshole, yes, but…

If you don’t think rich people, even VERY rich people who control the world, are not miserable and don’t hate themselves then you need to meet more of these people. Some of the most miserable pricks you will find anywhere.

It’s really annoying how people understand the way Logan’s abuse shaped Kendall’s entire life, and yet when Shiv is manipulated and abused in the same way everyone shrugs and goes “I guess she’s just a stupid cunt.”

Kendall upset about missing Sophia and Iverson’s present got to me. “They made it for me… supposedly.” It reminded me of when he did his (admittedly awful) L-to-the-O-G rap for Logan’s birthday. Personal birthday presents apparently matter to Kendall.

It really sounds like, despite all his flaws, Connor did all he could to care for his brothers. #Conhead4va

Its hard to choose who the bigger dork was this week—-Kendall with that ridiculous party (The Notorious KEN, LMFAO) or Greg with that first failed flirtation.
