“We aim to please.”

Tom is terrible, but he genuinely cares about his wife in a way that makes her cold indifference to him hard to watch. Not that he’s necessarily entitled to anything better, given that he clearly views the marriage (in part) as an arrangement designed to give him access to money and power. But it’s tough to see a…

Ha--I missed that.  Completely failing to get away with that is very Kendall.

If it were me, in that specific bizarre social/business situation, I’d probably smuggle out the offending sheet(s), then buy a new full set and mail it to the house with a note of apology. (The apology being for eating in bed and spilling something on the sheets, not for, you know, what actually happened.)

I assumed Kendall was going to find the least-smelly way possible to smuggle out the evidence and throw it away at home.  The staff being mystified by the disappearance of a set of sheets seems better than the staff gossiping about how Kendall Roy shit his bed.

I was hoping he’d fly it and crash it, and then escape—each season they could replay the accident from the first-season finale with a more unlikely mode of transport. Next season: Kendall crashes the space shuttle into the Gulf of Mexico.

Ironically they didn’t answer.

The original Deadline article that broke this story said that Disney was getting “5% of first dollar gross,” which I understand to mean that they get five percent of the total worldwide box office.

But Holland’s staying in the role regardless, and the same director’s still on board. So whatever boost the movies get from that is locked in whether or not Sony is able to make a deal with Disney. The new movies have been better, and more profitable, but not so much more profitable that Sony would be wise to give…

Yeah, stranger things have happened, but I’d be surprised if this ended with one side sticking to 50 percent and the other sticking with 5 percent.  Unless Sony’s completely convinced that, with Holland and Jon Watts on board, whatever boost they get from the MCU isn’t worth the money they’d be giving to Disney for…

With Sony regaining the full rights to Spider-Man and ending its deal with Marvel (reportedly over a producer credit, which seems petty)

Most of the show is just a standard teenage soap opera with more sex, swearing, drug use, and male nudity. But the thing I couldn’t quite get past is the way Nate is simultaneously a rage-fueled meathead and a Machiavellian schemer who likes to give ice-cold monologues in which he explains the penal code to his helples…

“Wait a minute—you’re not Felix. You’re evil arms dealer Brad Whitaker!”

I would’ve preferred:

“Clown Sighting Thing That Started off as a Marketing Thing and Then Actually Inspired a Rash of Clown Attacks:  A History of the Donald Trump Presidential Campaign and Administration”

I liked that they weren’t portrayed the way they imagined themselves (e.g., Watson’s “I’m the Devil” bullshit) and more like they apparently were. Based on what I’ve read about Manson and his followers they were portrayed pretty accurately—a bunch of mostly unremarkable young people who probably would have seemed…

It’s also kind of hilarious to imagine the NFL and an NFL team relying on a waiver when the risk involved is head trauma and brain damage. If Brown has CTE in a few years and he or his family file a lawsuit, they would certainly allege that he was brain-damaged when he signed any waiver, and therefore not competent to…

Dracula: The Bruce Lee Story?

The Way of the Draku.

“Seriously, we’re not doing anything for the rest of the night that doesn’t involve Bruce Lee fighting Dracula.“
