Kinda wild to me that both Gomez Addams and Jed Clampett, two classic TV dads, had their reboot movie actors pass away before their original TV ones.

I’ve said this before, but let’s collectively make the “prosthetic comedy” he leans on just as mocked as the prop comedy of Gallagher and Carrot Top.

Try last 10 seconds.

The solution is to stop jumping the gun on trying to get back to normal. We could’ve probably had Covid licked by now if we hadn’t kept trying to restart things too soon three or four times since it all started.

Clearly being vaccinated is not helpful.

Yeah that’s not remotely the lesson here. Vaccination ups your odds of avoiding serious infection; it’s not a guarantee. That’s always been the case.

Still one of my favorite films 32 years later, and Oldman’s comic timing in it was masterful. And Tim Roth was one of the best comic straight men I’ve ever seen.

“Do you like life, sweetheart?”
“Yes.”
“That’s good. Because... I take no pleasure in taking life... if it’s from a person who doesn’t care about it.”

The tone of this article seems to be that Morgan is in the wrong here, or otherwise deserving of mockery for defending a costar with a tweet? Baffling.

Headline spoilers seem to be the new house style at G/O. AVClub does it a ton lately too. It’s baffling, or would be if it didn’t seem designed from an “any engagement is good engagement” web traffic perspective.

It’s you who’s missing the forest for the trees. Depp’s comments about the damage to his career aren’t primarily about the public’s perception of him, though that is one element. They’re mainly about the professional effects of the allegations: on his contracts, his business partnerships, the roles he’s offered, and…

He’s not even complaining about the publicity from the suits, he’s complaining about the publicity from the allegations he’s suing her for. The damage he alleges was already done. It’s a little weird to me to take the position of “Well if people don’t want more attention they just shouldn’t sue”. Clearly he felt he…

I mean, you don’t launch a “high profile” defamation suit, you just launch a defamation suit, and other people make it high profile because of who you are. What’s your takeaway? That famous people shouldn’t sue if they feel they’ve been wronged?

I do not understand the narrative that Netflix has no good series. In the last few years they’ve given me The Queen’s Gambit, the Haunting series, Midnight Mass, Bridgerton, Black Mirror, The Witcher, Castlevania, Altered Carbon, Ozark, a number of good docuseries, and probably several others that have been among my…

Fair point. At least there’s some outrage about it there. And arguably I’m not sure how representative Boris is.

If that’s typically British, then I wish the US would take after them. The mentality that rules are bendable or breakable for the rich and/or famous needs to be tossed out of our culture.

That’s good I guess, though I was thinking recently they’re less funny than they used to be.

Just goes to show what a scrappy underdog like Microsoft Corporation can achieve when they refuse to give up on their dreams.

It’s absolutely criminal that this series didn’t last.

They had to start putting her behind things in the ads just to mitigate that. Ridiculous.

And you know, apart from all the ways NFTs are an exploitative scam, there’s another major reason why Matsuda’s blockchain scheme isn’t going to work:
