    -Increase the value of the side slots on Plinko. It's basically get it in the $10k slot or it's worse than the other games.
    -Up the Double Showcase win to $500
    -Retire Range Game because inflation has ruined it
    -My longstanding idea is that if someone hits the number exactly on Check Out give them $100k.

    My shipping tastes are apparently very in-canon. I guess, you're not supposed to ship Adam/Rachel in UnReal despite it happening?

    I liked the comedy. I was worried that there would be too many "expensive laughs" but there really weren't. Reynolds, Baccarin, and Skrein were good. Also, under two hour run time was nice.

    True, but intentional batshit craziness is tough to pull off. It's like intentional camp.

    It made the ProJo at the time which tells you all you need to know about RI.
    I would guess Universal/Blumhouse didn't feel that the budget would allow for sci-fi (or convincing sci-fi) so they tried to use social media as a stand in. It failed.

    I've mentioned this before but the irony is that in 2009 Chu went to Pawtucket (punishment enough) to convince Hasbro to let him do a Jem movie. He finally got Jason Blum to microbudget it. This was a passion project.

    Loved the show. It had its weaknesses: ASP has no concept of how the real world works, like private property and given the romantic problems maybe keeping Hubbell alive in a "settling" marriage would be something we rarely see on TV. That said, the performances were uniformly spectacular and it had tremendous heart.

    But they're teenagers. Of course, they're going to be enamored with Uncle Movie Star. Even Stu's wife gaslights Stu too much IMO.

    Dean Sr. is much worse than Dean. Not only is he gaslighting his other son, he told Dean to follow his dreams and Stewart not to. Weirdly, the show doesn't seem to realize this.

    Amend it to Jack Benny-style cheapskate.

    When you think about it the court of Henry VII really works like a 90s sitcom:

    I was in the basement of my family home. I'm pretty sure watching a rerun of Burke's Law, the remake.

    This runs contrary to my understanding of supply/demand in acting, but maybe the unspoken implication is "young actors whom I've seen and liked in other stuff and the network will approve as lead." Presumably without families to support they can be choosy.

    I disagree. I'm always pleasantly surprised how McDorman sticks the charming side of the charming/smarmy divide.

    Or he was joking to get on the team.

    And Nightmare on Elm Street used it regularly.

    I think there's definitely room to talk about the resiliency of elite institutions. They're a glorified bacchanal for entitled rich males. Simultaneously, they employ a bunch of self-satisfied petty tyrants in a consequence-free profession.
    And nobody cares.

    I actually liked Red Widow so I might check this out.

    Given that Blake Jenner stopped by and now this, focus groups must be having the same reaction to Jimmy and Winn as Ted Striker's seatmates to his life story.

    Some monkeys eat their young.
