It absolutely doesn’t work without Mozzie. :(

Man, playing that gay character in Poseidon really screwed that guy up.

Oh man, I couldn’t watch The Office for years because it was too close to my work environment. It wasn’t until the later seasons that I first jumped in, because they were more about the slapstick than the office politics stuff. The PTSD was strong...

I thought Gregory and Olivia had much better chemistry than Gregory and Janine, but man, there’s no fighting the unstoppable force that is Hollywood will they/won’t they narrative cliche.

My wife couldn’t watch Abbott for the longest time because she’s an elementary school librarian and Ava reminded her too much of her principal. Every episode, she keeps saying, “Yep. Yep. That’s true. Yep.” at all of the stupidity and idiocy that happens at the fictional school.

Not THAT big of one!

I’m just hoping that Ariana Grande’s Galinda isn’t the kind of cosplaying homage that James Franco’s Tommy Wiseau was in The Disaster Artist. The similarities worry me - both Grande and Franco were obsessed with the source material for ages and wanted the parts on the strength of their self-proclaimed ability to ape…

I came here to say this exact thing.

So it’s like a narcissist tried to make a hybrid baby from the DNA of The Big Lebowski and L.A. Story, is that it?

I think she did at the start of her career but that didn’t pay the bills.

The Rock only sees one color - not red, not blue, just green.

Ghostbusters was a slacker comedy that happened to feature ghosts.

The Wedding Singer was filmed in 1997, only 12 years after the narrative timeline it references, and it looks like a documentary about the War Years based on how different the eras were ($700 CD players, DeLoreans, Miami Vice and Thriller callbacks, etc.).

Thanks for posting that - I didn’t know about that. The substance abuse issues (which she had had since she was a teenager) were the “unofficial-official” explanation for her dismissal, but in this context it makes her firing even more unsavory - that they played up those issues in order to deflect from the assault.…

I think TOS only had a really believable “space military” vibe in Season 1. The next two seasons gradually did away with that with more fanciful plots and a gradual departure from the on-the-edge, pioneering environment of the early episodes. By the time Season 3 hit, the series was just throwing shit at the wall, IMO.

One of the very first subplots in TOS season 1 was that Kirk and Janice Rand were basically doing the Moonlighting thing, and it was only Grace Lee Whitney’s alcohol abuse that got her kicked off the show that stopped that particular narrative thread from continuing.

I am drastically late to The Bear party but I binged the whole series in the space of a week (which I don’t recommend, because that much anxiety all at once can be crippling... but also, I saw “Forks” right after “Seven Fishes,” which was a real blessing because I was about to lose it completely at the end of the…

I dunno. I’m late to the show and this episode (hence the necro-bump here) but I have seen a lot of folks like Richie who are directionless, struggling, flailing, etc., and then when they get that one missing piece to click in their heads - whether it’s a lesson at Al-Anon, a principle of a religion, whatever - all…

Adam Sandler has figured out Hollywood to the point where he does an Uncut Gems or Punch-Drunk Love or Spaceman every so often to make him feel like he’s doing something worthy, and then he laces that with the kind of utterly disposable entertainment that makes him the money to channel into his passion projects, or at…

Absolutely this. Trump at his core is a useful idiot. He has a lot of awful policy stands but they come from a largely lazy greed and sociopathy and self-interest and the conviction that he will not personally be affected by any of it. In his four years as president, he rubber-stamped a whole bunch of terrible things…
