God he is annoying, and really one-note voicework. Is the kid desperate all the time? Gems just "learn" from Steven's revealing something or other through the fluke of his nature, his childish perspective on the world — but in a show which is embedded within the Gems mythological perspective on the world. Glimpses…

Yes that episode was left with implications of big things to come. Marceline isn't an instigator but is emotional enough and still very tethered to her urges (recall when she was hungry and wanted to eat Jake) to be pulled into off-setting a situation already delicately balanced. I do think Maja has some intentions to…

From your summary it seems Marceline is missing, so she may be the one character to set off the events.

Well despite the issue of death and taxes, I'm glad to hear that movie didn't end up as being what killed him. And now that you mention Sid Caesar, that film really seems like some studios were burning off contractual obligations with this film. Another star who by that time couldn't manage anything further from their…

Definitely not a classic. More like a bad Rat Pack movie in terms of cohesion, but with everyone handled like they were the second bananas. Any directorial eye, sense of timing and pacing where it should zip or be edited (the finale is just very very long and no amount of blaring swelling uplifting music can make it…

As proto-hipster as a Vassar grad. can be I guess. Her c.v. does seem like a certain 90s music-vid time capsule, segued more notably to directing episodes of "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" ( guest roles for Stipe and Pierson among others.)

I enjoy Adventure Time mythology and the grass sword is a smart addition, whether in terms of the plot or the symbols providing other readings. It's hard to avoid the candlesticks, melting wax, swords, a wizards hut that opens like a vagina, Finns learning to control his up and down sword, so that it appears like a…

Shiny things show age the quickest. And even the possibility of irony in it being based on a Chinese Propganda Poster /Tianneman square reference is disputed by the director herself:

Agree, even with the forgettable Kate Pierson / Iggy collab.

Wait a minute, a family named their sons Sherwood and Elroy Schwartz and the ended up in comedy?

His designs, and compared with the others, the fact they kept him so long. I recall the conversation then on just not taking it seriously when they kept him on. The 'stunt' being that this guy had to go, but they kept him on to frustrate everyone watching. It works.

Oh yes, those home visits were great - and again, he could be so charming with famlies/partners of all kinds. I don't recall the podcast but I do recall reading Tom and Lorenzo and at some point all this about tensions between production and Tim going on and… yeah it was more fun to read about than to watch I…

Yes, you are right, I forgot about that time. I give him credit for sure, but I don't think it changes how he was in his own show. It was interesting he was at odds to a degree with the image the production was sending out. I guess I just feel that the season 1 had incredibly charming and interesting aspects to it,…

I loved the first season of Project Runway, which had a much different feel to what it soon became, and that included Tim's relationship with the contestants. His role was so necessary, especially later on as contestants were more and more stunt casted and unbelievable (Vincent…) But I have to say, he is not a solo…

And parallel to the first albums, in those first couple of years Harrison also managed to get together the Concert for Bangladesh, and some super friends. Harrison introduced a new cause-specificity, issue-wise, and organizational concert model that would become an managed industry model, that all made the…

In that case, I would suppose the more laughable sentiment in the song was the line after "If we ever get out here" — that is, "Thought of giving it all away. To a registered charity."
The Wings-as-group-effort was a joke gone too far. As was the many occasions he would bring Linda along for the press interviews…

Yes. and unlike their work together, they all established their solo signature sound and never deviated from that commercial model too - Lennon especially with the double-tracked feel and some reverb to the voice, Harrison eventually becoming a blended whiskey that could tip into ELO production land with Traveling Ws,…

Harrison has all the right to have gloated a bit at his former bandmate, as some significant music that appeared in his first albums was rejected or written while in the Beatles.

I think for the U.S. audience in that period of the 70s, it was important that the opening of the song Band on the Run worked like a clarion call for driving and radio listening on the improved quality of new stereo FM stations: it was one of those car songs. Clear in tone for any radio quality AM/FM, a quickly…

Yes, ok, true I was thinking of the guys and didn't specify it. I do think he's just been the one with least expectations and managed that surprising well. I don't think the Aniston and Cox went on to really stretch much of anything they didn't already show in Friends, but Kudrow I find different, I really grew to…
