Ok love those nuggets of information, thank you!!

It’s possible they’d budgeted $4 - 5 million for where the production was at that point but twice that had already been spent. 

“These shows require a vision that elevates and transforms, as well as delivers what audiences have come to expect, which is an ambitious and risky endeavor. It requires people to take the leap with me.”

I always find stuff like this and unaired pilots fascinating. It’s interesting to see what worked and what didn’t and if there was any way to fix what didn’t work. 

One of the things I’ll have to explain to my daughter is the concept of missing a sitcom when it aired, trying to catch it in syndication, and realizing they’re still mid-season 2 in the cycle so it’ll be at least another month before they hit a patch of episodes I hadn’t seen yet.

If only there were a perfect meme to describe the attempts to make this mov-

Watched Hitman this weekend. It was good. Really showcased Powell's range and ability to act various roles, but in a fun way.

I think the offenders in the stocks would adapt to the omnipresence of cameras.

From what I’ve been reading, that view is actually backwards — touring musicians are very much aware of rising prices, because the same inflation making tickets more expensive is also making touring more expensive. The price of everything, like crew wages, airfare, hotel rates, and on and on has also shot up for…

Most of the good will for the show came from the pilot episode, directed by Michael Mann, and specifically from the opening sequence, which was a flash forward to events that finally happened in season 2.

I was really moved by the geometry of the place; it’s conception, its baroque harmony. It’s a fabulous city. And to…

I mean, Netflix killed his UNRECORDED NIGHT project due to covid and didn’t revive it. Maybe there’s some bad blood considering he prepared thirteen fucking scripts for it.

I loved this show as messy and un-even as it was, then again I grew up and lived in Los Angeles so it also got me very homesick. When Flea said late night Denny’s was the essential LA, he was so correct, I can count so many times I would run into people and friends from many different social circles there.

That everybody loves Raymond. His own brother couldn’t stand him!

“The biggest lie in television history”

“I need a good boy and a VERY good boy, oh yes! Is it you?! Is it you?!"

His patron saint is Saint Bernard.

See, now the “James Bond is just a codename” is a fan theory I can get behind - if only because it makes perfect sense that John Patrick Mason from The Rock is Connery’s Bond.

The Tom Hardy casting matters because the rest of the world in Fury Road appears to be much further along in the apocalypse than what we saw in Road Warrior or Thunderdome, when the collapse felt fresh and most adults seemed to remember the war.
