Now I want that to happen. A modern sequel, or rewrite of Pot-Bouille. In the vein of Pride and Prejudice with Zombies—but without all the drooling and decrepitude.

At first I thought you were talking about Emile Zola, and I’m like “wow, this is some high toned snark.”

That is definitely very interesting, and worth my time—I’d like to know more about him, and this looks like a great place to start. But I meant the women he’s had in his life—Amber and Kim. Their passion is for making money. Their ambition is to make money.

LOL AGING AMIRITE
wait. everyone does that.

Hmm. Maybe I’m wrong, as I don’t follow these people’s lives closely. But as far as I can see, all either want to do is to make money.
Neither has displayed any passion or interest in anything else.

I don’t know, man. All parties involved have consistently lived their lives in a trashy manner. Half of what we know about them is as made up as a soap opera plotline. I am far from a genius so I don’t know what to make of anyone who takes this seriously or who feels anything for these fools.

oh my gosh. AMAZING idea.

That’s what I’m saying. But it doesn’t seem to stop kids these days.
Yeah, I know...get off my lawn!

They used to think the same thing about Robin Williams. Not proof that BRAND has the chops, but I’d like him to have a chance to show what he can do.

I’d love to see what David Tennant could do with the role.

Iain Banks, the Scottish sci-fi writer.
He has a lot in common with Bowie in that he’s also dead.

Russell Banks in the Bowie role...yes?

As for ‘why’—Jennifer Connelly wasn’t anorexic and didn’t show her tits in the original. How are today’s youth gonna relate? Clearly, a reboot’s necessary.

you did make your point well. but, the thing is. strictly speaking, we’re both amateurs, or, at best, olympic contenders at being witty and insightful. whereas comedians are paid to put most of their time and energy into refining whatever talents they have in those areas to wield wit, insight, and humor…

Yeahhhh...women comedians just be like ‘my boobs. LOL’. There’s no intelligence, individual voice, or craft to it. Go tit. Er...got it.

by definition, we’re all older than we were. but no one in this picture is old.

Bow before Hypnotoad.

Something with his pal Lynda Barry would be amazing. Animated version of her novel, Cruddy, or The Freddy Stories?

That’s the first thing I thought of, too. I even clicked through to the beeb story to see if a presenter’d been announced. (Hasn’t).

Not trolling. Just on a different side of The MST3K Question.
You are like the apex of Gawker snark. Everyone knows you. So I brought a lot of snark to the table. Could be I misjudged the tone.
We’re both coming from a place of deep fandom and attachment to the show, I think.

My underlying beliefs (please feel free to…

Repeat to yourself, “it’s just a show, I should really just relax.”

When your love is so conditional that bringing a 40-something year old white comedian into the mix is a dealbreaker...well, you know what Dan Savage would say.
