Agreed. The power imbalance there between them and the top-billed star is even greater, so screaming at them in front of everyone is punching down even more.

I thought of that after I posted, but it’s her first day, they haven’t met, and she’s in the background with no lines, so it’d still be jarring for her to burst out laughing out of nowhere (as far as he knew).

Demme didn’t intervene on Glaudini’s behalf

This was the least deserving of his nominations. It was more of an “okay, it’s time” award than an Oscar for performance.

Finding Forrester’s a great call! But the one I’m really kicking myself for forgetting is Witness.

“Meanwhile he’s racking up hat... er... strong dislikers”.

Larry belting out the twirling, celebratory JG Wentworth song should win him an Emmy. That should be the first thing that plays anytime anyone does highlight clips from this show.

Yes! Seinfeld finale is hilarious. Larry is definitely setting up Curb to thumb his nose at the Seinfeld finale haters which is the pettiest (and funniest) thing imaginable.

You think Larry deserves to be murdered?! I’ve always seen his character as someone, to his own detriment. who would rather be right than happy. If you really, honestly, look at LD’s position in the shows, he’s usually technically correct. It’s just that normal people would let it go just to get along. Larry will die…

I had forgotten than Vince Vaughn was a Funkhouser until his name was mentioned in this episode LOL.

This was, on a joke-by-joke basis, probably the funniest of the season so far. Especially the Tinkerbell bit and Larry arguing about the kid’s name at the synagogue.

‘”Well, this episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm begins just as it should, considering the circumstances: with a dedication to Richard Lewis, longtime actor on the show and real life friend to Larry David, who passed away earlier this week. It’s a sad thing, and oddly, a couple of weeks ago on Curb, the TV versions of…

It would be the producers, specifically the ones who approved eliminating the budget line item for hiring a full-time armorer and essentially rolling the responsibilities into the prop assistant role. There should be an e-trail if not actual signatures on the budget of the people who approved it, and if Baldwin was…

“I mean, if someone was hired to be a pilot and a flight attendant for the same flight, and the airline complained that the pilot was spending too much time in the cockpit and not enough time serving beverages, and then the plane crashed, should we really not punish the airline somehow?

They wouldn’t be found criminally liable for not quitting, but they could potentially be found guilty for taking on a duty of care and not fulfilling it.

“No one is going to ‘learn their lesson’ in prison for this.”

It’s not a defense; it’s a fact. I think more people are criminally culpable than just her.

In this case, we’re talking about a plane that wasn’t intended to leave the ground. Where did the live rounds come from??

That’s an Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer-level defense though. “Your honor, my client was so underqualified for the job she accepted that she can’t possibly be guilty of negligence!”

Are you implying someone intentionally loaded the gun with a real bullet in order to kill a cinematographer?

while acknowledging defense assertions that a gun-heavy production such as Rust should have had two armorers on set, rather than the part-time position Gutierrez-Reed was working … Carpenter asserted that, ultimately, gun safety on the set was her responsibility. “If that is not something you feel capable of doing,…
