I wish it were the case and it doesn’t deter me from seeing them, but 3-plus hour movies don’t have intermissions these days.

this is some “oh so you hate waffles”-ass logic.

I like the idea of starting every review by catching up the reader on just what a “story” is.

Yep! Between job changes, relationships, new locations, to straight-up two-parters, lots of 90s/00s sitcoms had multi-episode runners and arcs.

Ehhh people still know how sitcoms work (beyond Rez Dogs and What We do in the Shadows being two contemporary shows which fit that mold, we do still watch reruns of old sitcoms); the writer is just struggling to hit a word count lol.

Ah, I liked that guy on Mad Men. Honestly, casting a short softboy as a beer-swilling firefighter would’ve been interesting, and you’d feel a real familial “same but different” vibe between him and Frasier.

Based on the trailer and this review I predict a ratings hit and four seasons of this thing.

I was just answering your question “What the fuck has dude done to merit his appearance anywhere?” as best I understand it; guy’s a high-profile reality star (especially in the wake of the cheating scandal) appearing on a high-profile reality show. Not trying to correct or get into any sort of bitter argument.

Not to conflate awareness with adulation; I was just answering why a reality star is appearing on a different reality show, friend (non-pejorative).

Ugh I hate that I know enough about this to deliver any input but… the thing is, he cheated on his wife (who’s also on the Vanderpump show, and I think a lot of fans like her) with another cast mate on the show (who is also well liked for a reality show star), and with the benefit of that knowledge you can see that…

Ten seasons on one of the more/most popular reality shows on tv. It’s not that complex.

It’s always weird when people call something a “predictor,” or “before its time,” when in reality it’s depicting an issue that existed at the time and simply persists.

If you don’t mind me asking, what does a pension from working summers at a grocery store pay out? I’m genuinely curious, as I’m of the generation where summer jobs don’t come with pensions.

…you mean a sequel?

A few actors I follow on the gram share their residual checks, and I’d say the overwhelming experience is “this isn’t high enough for me to survive when work is lean,” to “ I’m incredibly lucky I still get paid well for that syndicated episode of Friends, but look at this shitty check for a season of down Netflix…

My point is I’m starting to gather from this that you have no moral compunction against entrapping someone, but you’re still dumb enough to still give ‘em money.

What even is your point? Why are the police even involved in this if you’ve posted your item as “Lost, reward, no questions asked”??? How is a police investigation into property theft not under the umbrella of “questions asked?”

Yes, it is. When the thief, clutching his bloody nose, says “hey, you said no questions asked,” I’ll just tell him “I gave you the money. I made no promises of secrecy and trust other than that.”

When something of yours is stolen, the police take down a report. Depending on the property and evidence on hand, it basically ends there. This person isn’t getting arrested or prosecuted unless you’re cooperating with the police. Heck, this assumes you reported the item stolen and not just lost.
