Such an amazing bit of physical comedy.

Her agent really needs to get her pay doubled if producers are going to keep following this excellent logic.

Indeed, and in fact when you think about both Presidents Roosevelt (and one First Lady Roosevelt), and the roles they played in the economic history of the United States, that was quite a lot of collective revenge by “old” New York against “new” New York!

Personally, I was hoping with it being an HBO show now, this would be a lot more Succession, and a lot less Downton (US), in terms of how it portrayed the uber-elite Americans of the relevant age.

I’m irrationally looking forward to the next episode of Space Force, given how much of the first season was not remotely good. But I thought it ended relatively strong, particularly in the last episode of the first season.

Are you thinking of the M. Night Shyamalan movie The Village?

Particularly if at least one is actually upper class, and picking up the tab.

Just a guess, but I am thinking around the fourth movie, they bring back the original cast for a mild reboot called The Cut and the Run, and it then becomes one of the top movie franchises of its era.

I thought the first one was weak but not awful. I thought MAYBE they could improve from there.

So I have always understood the Germanic/Nordic folklore version of dwarfs, as incorporated into the Snow White story recounted by the Brothers Grimm, to literally be a different species of sentient being from humans. Like giants, elves, fairies, mermaids, and so on. It was the sort of tradition behind Tolkien’s…

I have finally gotten around to binging Downton Abbey in anticipation of The Gilded Age. I guess I should not be surprised by this, but Downton Abbey is in fact a pretty good show! At least the first couple seasons, which is how far I am.

Yeah, occasionally I find Snowpiercer a little tedious, but mostly I have enjoyed it. Particularly Connelly’s Cavill, so I was glad to learn she had not in fact been written off.

I agree.  I thought she was excellent in Party Down . . . and since then she has done a fantastic job picking projects I have no interest in seeing.

I am sure it will be every bit as essential as Cruella . . . .

I gather you would prefer a rainbow necklace?

Sploosh!

“To” might be the wrong preposition for what that dude plans to do to that bag of M&Ms.

“Taste the rainbow” is in fact a pretty hot slogan . . . .

Jamie in particular has also been a child star, also had a lot of nasty narratives told about her (particularly but not limited to her teen pregnancy), and so on. So in her case this is not just an abstraction, she has a real stake in publicly presenting her own story, meaning an interest that is not just monetary.

It isn’t great, but I also think it is interesting in some ways. A lot of mediocre things are not even trying to do anything interesting. I see this as a show trying to do something interesting, but with mediocre success.
