...he just didn’t want to yell at his friend Ellen for asking him about it in front of an audience of perfectly nice people.

A little googling, tells me: yes it’s something he’s done. But I wouldn’t call it a trademark technique. More of a repeated concept. I don’t think this is an example, just because it’d be far more subtle/hidden than any other example I can find online.

I wonder, if you asked random people on the street who Elia Kazan was, how many would know him for naming-names versus On the Waterfront or A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

Are we sure this isn’t actually in the X-Men universe? That header image is looking a lot like a young Nathaniel Essex.

I mean, Peter may not be donning the suit anymore, but I’ve heard he and Joonas Suotamo get along pretty well.

A Zero Sum Game is a scenario where the total value will not increase or decrease, only be traded between participants. So in order for me to gain value, someone else must lose value. We cannot both be winners, nor can we both be losers.

I’m glad that they’re powering forward in Hollywood. But I’m missing The Meltdown.

That’s peak O’Neal and I love it.

My only concern for this show was, “Just how meaty will it be?”

Dear Future Television Academy, don’t praise the machine.

Watch This! Back from the dead?!? Hurrah!

We all know that Wonder Woman can’t fly, what this show presupposes is, “Maybe Gal Gadot can?”

This just made me think: I’d like to see Maya Rudolph and Haddish in something. But whatever that would be is probably a lot sillier than whatever PTA would make.

Man, Sunny’s Bar and Nick Offerman are a perfect match. And I’m glad to find out that they didn’t end up closing down. Too bad I never saw him around when I used to live over there.

There are only 2 videos of Hannity I’d be willing to watch:

I can’t think of any “literary essays”, but you did make me think of two remarkable religious adaptations:

Sounds like an interesting choice for adaptation, even if it’s not perfectly executed.

Honestly, the thing that just keeps me confused and irritated are the unforced errors. This isn’t an issue of not citing who did the describing, it’s why bother making that claim.

I think it’s like Slaanesh from the 40k Universe. Birthed from the void, made real by the collective awfulness of the minds of its adherents.
