Say what you will about this adaptation, but I thought it was particularly brave of them to make it a musical.

Hobby drama is fun and I am a Ravelry user, so I’ll let you know that the knitters who were banned were NOT “more interested in 3-needle bind-offs than immigration policy.” Like many other dipshits on social media, they were busy organizing themselves to troll knitters of color and creating yarn colorways with racist…

I’m sorry, “Songs in the Key of Springfield”, the collected songs from the peak years of The Simpsons, produced by THIS MAN, WAS The Simpsons and was also my childhood.

Some of the shows all time best episodes, indisputably, were its musical episodes. And he was the guy behind that. There would BE no 30 years to speak…

So . . . you’re saying he should be THANKFUL he was unceremoniously fired for clear and obvious discriminatory reasons after being a vital behind the scenes contributing creative force of a legendary television show for nearly thirty years?

Have you ever made a comment here that isn’t the absolute fucking worst?

All I know is that the furry community got a lot of ammo today.

His fans are exactly like that episode of community where the Dean becomes a deranged director and Annie violently commits herself to him because in her words "Everything the Dean does is genius because if he isn't a genius than I have devoted myself to an idiot and I will not accept that!"

I was trying to figure out why Ray was wearing a t-shirt referencing Star Trek’s Borg, then I realized oh no, its for cyBORG....and at that moment I realized how Star Trek ended up calling them the Borg, and I’m embarrassed to have just now figured this out.

There was a good article over on Lifehacker (two-cents) the other day that advised people what to do when faced with eviction. https://twocents.lifehacker.com/how-to-try-and-prevent-your-eviction-1844419671

I am sorry to hear that but glad you had a great dad. Wishing you the best for the future. When my first wife died our kids were much older and it was still incredible hard on them. 

I lost my mom at 4, can relate (now 32). It has definitely been very hard through my life, as I have no lasting memories, but I’m lucky enough to have a great dad. I can only hope for the same for Naya’s son.

Can you imagine being diagnosed with type-2 diabetes during quarantine and having to completely overhaul your entire relationship with food while sitting at home all day with nothing else to do but eat?

hah, that would be nuts. hah.

*cries*

While this won’t help with depression I would urge you and everyone else to not look down on ordering out during the pandemic. One of the most impacted industries is the service industry and supporting your local restaurants (and depending where you live, bars with amazing to go cocktails) with ordering take out is…

Yeah, I read that Scientology is where he learned to read, basically.  They are is family, which is why he’s so weird.   He’s basically been created by Scientology.  And there’s obviously a person in there trying to show itself, but the two parts of him just smash into crazy.  

I’d imagine it has everything to do with wanting all of the power, but none of the responsibility. If you’re just a big powerful ego on set, you sort of decide when and where you want to step up. When you’re actually the director, dozens of people are coming up to you every day wanting answers and clarification, and…

Hear me out: the Phantom Stranger (who is actually the John from the original movie) or the Spectre, same thing. I love Keanu’s Constantine. It’s nothing like the comics, but there’s so much good there. 

I mean, Paul Haggis was a Scientologist. There are plenty of otherwise smart people who are sucked into cults. But what the auditors across the board meant was Tom Cruise was unusually dumb. Like noticably so.

According to ex-Scientologists who used to be his auditors or his auditees (at his level you’re required to learn to audit other people and must put in a certain number of hours doing it), he’s not real smart. Even for an actor. You have to be somewhat intelligent to direct.

I would see that. Or maybe even cast Keanu as the Phantom Stranger or the Spectre.
