I have “Misbehavin’” stuck in my head now. Just when you think Goggins and Goodman are kind of tossing off these easy characters, boom, they bring it. Nettles’ Aimee-Leigh, wow, I was like, "No shit you have a statue and an eternal-flame for this woman, I would too!"

Thanks! Yeah, for being as all-over-the (horrific) place as this show is, and for having Wardwell troll all the characters seemingly at random, the show squeezes it all into a fairly satisfying ending. They've kind of found a niche in between AHS and Buffy: Too rough for commercial television, yet not Rated R. TV17 or

I think I'm burned out on Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Used to look forward to his schtick. No longer.

It kind of makes sense from a stage-managing perspective. He was the palette-cleanser. The Who wouldn’t want to follow The Clash; they needed a buffer in there. Still, RIP dude. You were good.

Really interesting. My train of thought went to Samara from The Ring movies. Why that look? First off, I wonder if there’s a cultural difference common to Island and Coastal cultures in that their go-to ghosts all look drowned. Samara was a patient in a mental ward, so that brings in white gown vs hospital clothing

The Coens have two modes: Nail This! -and- this is fluff.

This book sounds fascinating.

You can tell he’s a writer favorite too. In a sprawling drama you can tell (as mentioned above) he’s a cinema aficionado which helps him work in his crummy corner of the film world. He’s savvy enough to talk price-points and market share. He’s a little bit sad in life. He’s nursing a crush on Candy that he knows

I fucking love David Krumholtz.

I think he’s wise for the time being keeping Ahsoka plans close to the vest. I’m guessing they’re putting together something and looking at actresses. They’re going to want to do the whole surprise reveal thing (next year maybe) and have the roles locked down before announcing. Do you do young 18 to 20ish Ahsoka, or

Look, people are also saying that Asbestos is actually the best. It works the best. It tastes great. Studies? Who believes studies? ‘Buncha pencil-necks is who came up with studies. Asbestos ... it’s great. It melts in your mouth. It goes good on ice cream. Lead paint chips - potato chips; same dif.

Thank you. This is a helpful take.

I think it means it’s more true, actually. There’s horror to be mined from "Please God, I have horrible thoughts. As a parent, don't let me act on any of them."

It's astonishing Salem's Lot made it on TV at all back then.

I'll do that. I've heard that's the one to read.

This is good. Reminds me of conversations I had with other kids in middle school trying to rank Stephen King’s books into a top ten or top 15 ... Jesus, remember when he ONLY had 15 books? Remember when only eleven of fifteen had been made into movies or TV shows? I’m 49, so I remember the kids who stayed up to watch

It might not apply here as much, these two were adults, but my going assumption is that Hollywood types who want to date jump right into getting married. I’m guessing it’s out of some legal need or agency vs agency mash-up ... or even just a way to try a relationship away from TMZ. “Let’s go out on dates together

Dead Zone is top tier stuff.

Heel turn" has jumped the shark.

The ending with the fake cats is lol funny: the fastest a movie has ever gone from being moody/ kinda creepy/just plain bad to flat out hilarious. It’s like the entire film's budget ran out at the end, so someone ran to Kmart and bought a bin of fluffy toy cats, came back to set, and when the director called "action"
