one of my favorites is Alec Baldwin playing Charles Nelson Reilly with Will Ferrell’s James Lipton gushing over him in an Actor’s Studio send-up (tbf, Ferrell is doing most of the work)

Seriously. “We know you did it, man” would far more likely result in a dismissal without prejudice so that he could be retried.
“Jerking off in front of women and tacitly allowing your manager to wreck the career of anyone whispering too loudly about it” comes across as worse to me than distasteful jokes. I’m sure I can share several worse jokes with you. I’m not sure the content of his comedy is the point here.
I would argue it means the exact opposite.
If I bring my car to my mechanic to get my brakes fixed and then I immediately run someone over because my brakes decidedly don’t work when I’m pulling out of the lot, am I supposed to stand trial for not checking over the work of the person I paid because they had the experience and qualifications for that thing?
I will remember your invaluable legal advice next time I shoot a gun at a condom.
I got bored of SNL’s writing and quit watching before he went into his oversaturated appearances as Trump, but he was one of my favorite hosts when it was good, up there with Christopher Walken and Justin Timberlake.
Per NBC in November of 2023:
I’m not a sexual assault apologist, [I spent four minutes looking for a gif of Rachel Dratch yelling “I’m huuuuumannnnn!!!!” and couldn’t find it :( ]
How dare you bring thoughtfulness to an internet forum!
“But as in the essay he published when his misconduct was brought to light back in 2017, C.K. doesn’t seem interested in atoning for his actions.”
Yeah, but you also say a lot of dumb shit, so are you surprised people don’t listen to you?
I’m the bad guy, I am clearly evil, but I am going to wait for more corroboration on this. I also don’t know why people are exaggerating that the nanny was 40 years younger than him or 1/3 of his age...he wasn’t 60 then? If your nanny wants to fuck you fuck your nanny: consensually and without cheating or deception!
I think that last part is important. People were more comfortable with death, or at least more realistic about it. It was everywhere. Hardships were predictable and people were better at preparing for them. They certainly worried about the things you mentioned. Stress responses seem to be a lot about the unknown and…
But it doesn’t mean what you think. A life expectancy isn’t a measure of “how long will an elderly person likely person live to”, which is how many people incorrectly interpret it as. It’s a average of all people’s age at death in the sample. To the degree that life expectancies are going down, it’s not so much that…
No way, you’re forgetting about Who Framed Roger Rabbit!
There’s no jury if he pleads guilty...
Not to mention the critic’s certitude that this is a settled topic, when we’re really just getting into it.
I enjoyed 30 Days back in the day. It marked the beginning of FX really starting to commit to making good shows (give or take a The Shield)
It’s a shame that his legacy will always be Supersize Me, a flawed documentary that I never cared for. His real strength was his TV series, 30 Days and Inside Man, which really explored compelling corners of life with an empathetic eye.
