If you look at it from now as “what were they thinking” Do the right thing obviously jumps out to tell a story about where the oscars were, as well as what America is. And that Driving Miss Daisy was even nominated over Do the right thing was telling. Of the nominated films, I’d probably be okay giving it to any of…

I think the reviews had it right, Seth and Evan were good at the sort of buddy movie where some man child grows into a man in the last act, so they leaned on that with Rogen, but it’s at odds with the superhero origin story where the hero has to start taking life seriously by the end of the first act, so that he can…

It was one of the big reasons for the sony hack, which as a tangential benefit, unstuck the Sony/Marvel negotiations about Spiderman.

I feel like this is going to lead to a lot more sexual acts being filmed and in the world of social media that can’t be a good thing.

Hulu feals particularly meaningless without the Disney catalog. The only player that makes sense is NBC, but then they’d have to can Peacock. which honestly sounds better as a brand name  and looks better than Hulu (even though the Peacock interface is horrible and I can never find what I am looking for.)

That’s not really it. its about applications. One of Rowling’s first issues was about bathroom use. There’s no way to wait around on that. You can’t agree to disagree and force people who make look like men into the women’s restroom, in this climate.

I think some people like the dark, strangeness of isolated or small town places. (e.g. Fargo) the limit of the characters social circle can exxagerate responses to stimuli and if well done can take you to interesting absurd places. I liked it in the Favourite. Banshee’s seemed too stagey for me and the basic premise…

My sister was an assistant in the first season and then a little in whatever season Seth Green was on. In that first season, she was kind of chummy with everyone but she’d get a lot of talks and notes on her performance especially, so as the season wore one she was spending more and more time in her trailer trying to…

I’m saying both of those things. Attempts and suicides being two separate numbers. Roughly falling into the same percentages.

You misunderstand my math, .5 -1% of all teens make a suicide attempt with no prior attempts or history of mental illness - if the referenced study holds.  So with those 2020 numbers, 600-300 of those people had no prior attempts or history of mental illness, Which is a lot.

I don’t think what you are saying is diferent from what I am saying. you say that among attempts the vast majority (90+%) have a history of mental illness, and 1 in 4 have prior attempts. I’m saying that there are still a lot of people that aren’t in either of those buckets. If studies show that there are about 10% of…

Not the norm, but common enough among this age range that I don’t know that skepticism makes sense here.

As much as people paint Chapelle as this bold truth teller, he sure backs down with these vaguely “everyone’s offended” style sets when he’s worried about blowback.

I was half expecting, "are you crazy, the fall will kill you"

He took the risk of triggering because sometimes you can get SEO bump out of it. 

The third season killed it. The Nolans took their unused ideas from Person of Interest and shoved that into Westworld.

The Nickelodeon things works, even though, that’s not even what nickelodeon is anymore. But a throwback to the days of slime and ren and stimpy, which had a bit about, “don’t wizz on the electric fence.” Sarah Sherman brings a reckless energy and some of it is, “Are we sure this is funny?” but that’s how you evolve…

This has been the line on Bill Murray for a while now, going back to the 80's. That his lovable scamp routine gave him immunity to it for this long is nothing short of shocking.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Dalton’s movies ran so Craig’s movies could walk. Dalton plays a Bond that has had one too many life and death encounters and is no longer playing nice or even on good terms with MI6 most of the time. Its what Craig’s bond slowly meandered to (with better fighting and world…

They should lean back into the weird, I think the Harvard liberal writers were sort of pulling the show into a sort of down the middle skewering of the Trump years. And it meant wierdos like Villasenor had almost no room to cook. And McKinnan who is an awesome wierdo got forced into doing the impression of the week,…
