    CK is not doing great, from what I've read. He's playing smaller venues in smaller cities, and while his concerts are showing strong pre-sales, the theaters aren't full and people have been buying day-of tickets for less than a sawbuck. 

    For all its fidelity to the characters, plot, and world of the comic, the most faithful representation of this series in relation to Moore/Gibbons’ work is that Lindelof & Co have taken an existing property and used it to tell an entirely new story relevant to the times.

    I want to say “Fury Road” because - as mentioned above - it’s one of those long-delayed, past-its-cultural-sell-by-date projects that just never works out. And then it did work out. It worked so fucking out that it may be the best movie of the 21st century (so far) and seeing it in the theater for the first time was

    Amazing. 

    Her monologue of that story is the highlight of television in 2019. The writing was stellar and every choice she made as an actor was perfect.
