I love the character of Ted Lasso, but I think Jason Sudeikis may be one of the most titanically overrated actors in Hollywood.

Love this bit: “While not explicitly related to J.K. Rowling’s rampant transphobia, The Fabelmans director is the latest Hollywood figure to publicly distance himself from Harry Potter and the Wizarding World.”

Hah nice burn, but referring to the larger discussion, at least Cruise has some piloting experience that brings him closer to what he’s portraying on screen that his co-stars don’t, so in the context of cis people portraying queer ones rather than queer or queer-adjacent actors, he’s perhaps not the best snarky…

Yeah, that whole special was the nail in the coffin for me for a long time. Then I went and checked out The Grand Tour and its subsequent specials and found that whatever alchemy Clarkson, May, and Hammond had with Top Gear had curdled into something completely unwatchable.

Not only does he identify as one, but he’s jet-rated and regularly flies an L-39 jet trainer, along with his actual P-51 Mustang fighter plane that he owns.

It’s not the investment itself, but the return on it that is at stake here.

Cliff would 100% have died in the first COVID wave.

The problem with the character of Frasier Crane is that he is at his best when he has someone as smart as he is (or smarter) to butt heads with. On Cheers, this was Diane, first, and then Lilith. Lacking either of them in a scene or episode, Frasier’s shtick quickly wore thin.

Well, the writing’s on the wall.

I’ve been wishing for an additional season, if for no other reason than to find out how Hank is doing with his orthotic.

Dang ol’ unh-huh.

As long as Hank is in charge of a “clean-burning Hell” the show will be safe. Don’t you worry, little Russian bot.

I see photos of him like this, then remember his real surname is “Dick,” and wonder yet again how it’s possible that he and Andy Dick aren’t related.

It’s so terrible. Like, “worse than the original Night Court until Christine was made a regular” terrible. Everyone except John Larroquette is horribly miscast - the worst, Melissa Rauch, whose whole damn idea it was - and Larroquette playing a neutered Grandpa Dan lacks every bit of the edge that balanced out the…

Well, if this doesn’t just kill the genre outright, we’ll know that it’s an indestructible cockroach.

Ha! Too late! I already printed my own. On cardstock.

Should mention that today Pfizer issued a press release announcing $100 billion in revenue this past year, $31 billion of which is profit, and that they’re raising the price of COVID vaccines from $19.50 to $150.00 this year.

Peacock won’t do it. Hell, they already nuked Rutherford Falls and Girls5Eva.

I have made the grave mistake of watching the Night Court reboot, and the fact that it’s going gangbusters and Reboot may be going the way of the dodo if it doesn’t get picked up elsewhere has eliminated the one small grain of hope I had left for the human race.
