Yup.  Thaniel probably had a story cooking on the Lissons, and that hit was definitely meant for Eli.

Exactly.  Lisson’s definitely had Jason Schwartzman’s reporter murdered, too.

Judi would have to be Fredo; she’s the most insecure and desirous of attention and respect from everyone.

I agree with this and now I realize if this is true, this season may be tracking on the Godfather (where Sollozzo tried to kill the Don so that Sonny would take his drugs deal)?

And we go live to our man on the street in Harper’s Ferry:

You could also just make a better movie. Then most people will be happy to hear what you have to say about it.

“High on its own supply” is a good way to describe my criticism of the film. I liked it more that most McKay films, but I thought McKay was too eager to wink at the audience when he thought he was being especially clever. Armando Ianucci (to pull a satirist’s name out of a hat) would have played the film more deadpan,…

I was interested in watching this movie after the first previews. Once I found out it was co-written by David-fucking-Sirota, that turned into a hard pass.

Those are most definitely not a brick oven. The standard NY slices are made in a deck oven.

It makes no financial sense to require writers to operate out of a single office space, rather than working much more cheaply from home, so it’s got to be about control. Remote workers cannot be subjected to constant surveillance, and that sends some managers - the really, really bad ones - into a tailspin.

Welp, there it goes: “The AV Club” finally and completely joins Deadspin in being an entirely zombie property.

can we talk about this instead?

It’s implausible that Fett doesn’t already know the basics of how the criminal underworld works. He worked for Jabba the Hutt. And he’s been a bounty hunter for many years, which would inevitably involve hunting down wanted criminals.

It’s like the showrunners don’t know what a criminal empire even is. You don’t just walk around being threatening and then people throw money at you. You have dudes who work for you, and dudes who work for them, in a big hierarchy, and they’re all engaging in or being accessories to criminal activity, like selling…

Your use of the phrase tells me you vibed with the movie. You just reveal your own vibrance.

The Matrix: Reburial

Strong agree. My party line has been that, if you still think “The Matrix was such a good movie, such a shame they never made a sequel” jokes are pithy and witty in 2021, then you can probably skip Resurrections and keep making that joke. But if you can vibe with the other sequels, you can vibe with Resurrections.…

Dick Cavett was making Chris Noth jokes during the great depression!

Sorry, but yeah, it is.

I’ll keep the words smaller next time around. I’d hate for you to fall behind.
