Woody Allen is in GLOW? Man, they really buried the lede there.

I thought the ending is where it ran aground. It was just so insistent on needlessly tying up every loose end that it totally lost the pace.

I am. I'm pulling up sticks in only a month. My ulpan is worked out, got my visa, Clalit enrollment, plane ticket, and a cousin over there who's the same age and also in the film industry.

Dude's been in everything. The Tao of Steve, Grounded for Life, Life, Terriers, Gotham, Vikings, Zodiac, American Splendor for a split second.

I grew up with a bunch of candy-asses. I was the only person in my graduating class healthy enough to be considered "combat-ready," and had asthma and flat feet.

Saturday Night Fever (1977): ""[It] captured the spirit of its age in a way that ensured its success but also doomed it to decades of mockery."
Capricorn One (1977): "Capricorn One feels my pain, and comes up with the perfect solution: a conspiracy that’s a total cock-up."

The word "daddy" has been ruined by the fatuous, amphetamine-addled homeless twink who sometimes sleeps in my house.

You're probably wrong. Paper is still too useful to get rid of. Hard copies can't be hacked and don't run out of battery. But the KGB has already switched back to paper records.

Spoiler alert!

That's a dealmaker!

That movie was so much better than I remembered. I just wish they had had the confidence to end each scene on the actual punchline rather than retreat into some stupid bodily humor.

I'm well fucking aware. Well. Fucking. Aware. But context is important, and he isn't saying that Jewish people being successful is wrong. You might as well get angry at Malcolm Gladwell for making similar points in Outliers.
