Obligatory

Taco Bell usually has decent fried chicken, so no surprise.

the only regulation I need for mobile ads is to make the “X” always in the same size and position, right now trying to close an ad is a game on its own

Maybe she’s concerned about the Palestinians who Israelis can slaughter with significantly less fear of consequences thanks to the Iron Dome?  I mean, I know you can’t earn political points ANYWHERE outside of Gaza and the West Bank by caring about the Palestinians who disproportionately suffer and die as a result of…

A black comedy or thriller would be the only way to salvage a product where it looks like Dennis Reynolds is hunting for 17-year-old girls using the DENNIS System.

oh noes she failed an impossible purity test, we’d better eat her

I think this one is more about catharsis than Feel Good. The big number You Will Be Found is so emotional because in a moment of intense pain, Evan actually wasn’t found. He was alone in the moment he’s singing about. It’s kind of an Instagram vs Reality study on grief which is weird, but this is a weird, weird time.…

That’s clearly what it goes for.

...an intimate teen drama that hinges entirely on the raw-nerve energy of its youthful lead to sell his character’s manipulative, cruel, selfish behavior as sympathetic rather than horrifying.

I actually like about a third of the score—I think some of the smaller songs, So Big/So Small, Sincerely Me, are pretty great actually.

If the impetus was to preserve Ben Platt’s performance,…

so it’s like 21 Jump Street the musical, only instead of a narc it’s an emotional vampire?

Also displaying guns publicly is only allowed for Caucasian persuasion. Even if you just stopped a bad guy with a gun with it.

It’s a nuisance.  It’s my damn testicles.  I LOVE him in this movie.

Good interview, though I hoped one of the Random Roles being talked about was Grant in LA Story.

Bill Hicks nailed Jay from the start. “Company man to the bitter end.”

1. She’s taking an antibiotic for a virus. Antibiotics work only against bacteria. Taking an antibiotic when you don’t have a bacterial infection only adds to the quickness that the antibiotic stops working against actual bacteria.

If it kills her, then I ain’t commiserating over her death.

You ever hear about when Richard Pryor and George Carlin and Robin Williams and Steve Martin used to talk shit in interviews about each other’s stand-up abilities?? I haven’t either. Because they were talented and mature enough to very successfully do what they did without waving their dicks around. Stuff like this is…
