Jeannie Darcy’s first appearance was sublime. Such a perfectly realized manifestation of that 90's stand up staple. And it has never been funny since. I appreciate it’s SNL, so - take joke, repeat - but there’s no point in going back to this well other than “remember HER?!” with no additional nuance or flavor. Which,

It’s not (Beautiful was the single from that album that performed well and actually stuck around), but it is rife for looking back and re-evaluating how we treated X female celebrity, which is a fine and fair thing.  

Wait, Skrulls can turn their arms into giant tree vines ala Groot? I thought they just changed their general appearance and weren’t, uh, liquid metal.

Exactly the opposite for me. First outing I thought was fine, but really clicked with the second. As with all anthologies, YMMV, I guess. 

He ordered the Rivian on the advice of family members who had Rivians.

This is the natural evolution of our society’s constant demonization of drinking and driving. We treat it as an ever-present evil that must be snuffed out at all costs, rather a poor decision that a few people make.

Working with horses on set must be an absolute nightmare for everyone involved.

He also eats pudding with his fingers!

Midsomer Murders has been killing British villagers in increasingly inventive and bizarre ways for 20+ years.

The energy she brings to that Harrison Ford interview will be delightful for Bake Off! Love Matt, but he never really clicked for me as a host. 

Back in the 90s criticisms of youth culture weren’t viewed as so reactionary and so could find their place amongst thoughtful liberal conversation.

Oh, holy shit, that’s a real article. Welp, I’m done here. *throws self off cliff*

I am still trying to understand why game is so scarce for David and Co. Like, it’s not keeping me up at night or anything, but in this hypothetical world 20 years after most of humanity has been eliminated, the animal kingdom should be doing pretty well.

I’d reserve one in a heartbeat! I still see them on the road in LA and must say I think the design has held up well, and would make a rather smart-looking EV with a modest refresh. Plus Element is sort of the perfect model name for an EV.

Starring Paul Mescal!

A true cinematic turd! Thank god there’s a sequel coming...

My dad took me to Goodfellas due to Siskel & Ebert’s raves (particularly Saint Ebert), so it received glowing reviews from 100% of the critics I was aware of in 1990!

Gal Godot walks on stage: “Imagine there’s no heaven...”

Various curtains pull back to reveal a cross-section of Hollywood A-listers, singing in unison: “...it’s easy if you try...”

There are other factors contributing to the project that put it in jeopardy. House Speaker and Bakersfield native Kevin McCarthy has been against the project for years.

Just what the Oscars needs: more reverence! More people in awe!
