For all her formidable comedic talents, Applegate also has one of the all-time great “icy stares of death.” It is Don Draper levels of intense.

Aww this is a bummer. I’ve appreciated her for all of her career and Dead to Me is just rad. I hope she's in good spirits figuring this all out as much as one can be.

The anecdote is that she was mocking him because he was pursuing writing at the expense of his grades in school. She was actually parenting him to meet some academic standards so that he would be a successful human being. She had no crystal ball back then to know that he would become Quentin Fucking Tarantino, the…

Not the boring ass “This isn’t who I am” defence... please, a little creativity. Bring back “It was the Ambien/my diabetes” at least. 

Nothing says “I didn’t do what they said I did” like a $7.7mil payout.

“in this exchange he sure comes across as spiteful and emotionally stunted.”

She’s an asshole who raised an asshole... it's a fitting end. 

I’m resisting judgment, as maybe his mother was legitimately abusive and this is all Tarantino feels comfortable in sharing, but in this exchange he sure comes across as spiteful and emotionally stunted.

I mean it depends on if it was a one-off or typical of their relationship. If she was indeed a toxic parent, I can understand him not wanting to have anything to do with her (the usual caveats about Tarantino being a Weinstein enabler who puts his actresses in unecessary danger aside)

I would’ve never have guessed Tarantino had mommy issues...said no one, ever.

Yeah, well. That’s an immature fucking dick move, isn’t it?

I feel that in order for Americans to get onboard with Alan Partridge, they’d first need to get up to speed on Steve Coogan, which is a LOT of homework indeed.

YES, this. The people that watch that show during the day (my mom, presumably other people) would be enthusiastic if one of the models was pregnant. Do they honestly think people are tuning into The Price is F*cking Right for tits and ass? I haaaate this guy. 

Doesn’t Bialik have a history of pushing anti-vax “dO yOuR oWn ReSeArCh” rhetoric?

White Guy Starts Hosting Search, Concludes He’s The Best For The Job, Blindsided By His Own History Of Lawsuits

This feels like a bait-and-switch. Get a bunch of high profile guest hosts to come in, tease the idea one of them could become the permanent host, generate interest, and then hire the dude you were going to hire all along.

Damn, I know it was a while ago but they’re still picking him after all the N-bombs?

White Guy Starts Hosting Search, Concludes He’s The Best For The Job

I’m a big fan of the guy, but he wasn't a great host, in my opinion

He got blackballed after he spoke out against the president of the Golden Globes, who he claims sexually assaulted him. This was 10 years before #metoo movement and before Hollywood decided that the GG’s were horrible and disgusting. It became quietly known that if you employed him you could forget being part of the…
