Actually, Hurwitz was and is(?) planning a storyline that started in AD season 4 that involves George Sr. coming out as transgender, and when he found out about Transparent while it was still early in development, he said, "Shit, that was my idea, I don't know if we both can do it," or something along that line.

Too many American actors putting on faux-British accents and taking away British jobs, yes, this is a problematic trend in contemporary film and television!

It wasn't that well reviewed here, if I remember correctly.

That's just ambitious enough.

Dawn of the Apes first and foremost, then Edge, for me. Dawn is one of my favorite films of the year period, just behind Grand Budapest. Mind you, I still need to see a lot of things.

It was the 20th birthday for women in Tara's family, not 19th.

It has that Joseph Gordon-Levitt series, and it airs Please Like Me in America, so these are good things. But yeah, I was confused when I first heard of it as well.

And thank goodness they did that!

Hey, I couldn't tell because I'm asexual. There's a difference I don't really understand/judge these things very well. I have an excuse!

I don't know if I can handle Reggie leaving the show.

You're not an idiot, and don't you dare suggest that or the latter, even jokingly.

The motherfucker certainly isn't especially charming, but I find him painfully relatable. Somehow both him and Dom, which seems like a weird combination.

I'll be honest, I thought it was singing while I'm singing. But I have a really hard time hearing lyrics right generally.

First season was French food, second was Japanese.

Netflix follows airing order, annoyingly enough.

"I briefly considered coming up with a third system that would confuse everyone, but eh, too much work." Ah yes, Zack's The Prisoner method.

Right, fair enough, I misremembered the wording of the article I read two years ago (and it wasn't on the more communicative side compared to others, looking at it right now) but PTA has repeatedly emphasized at least that they remain friends.

Cruise liked The Master, you know. He endorsed it as a friend of PTA, and didn't take issue with it as a member of you know who.

Boogie Nights is Scorsese style, Magnolia is Altman. The former has tracking shots in the style of Scorsese's trademark ones while the latter invokes the climax of Short Cuts, just as one demonstrative example from each.
