we’re hoping this is the news that pushes the project into reality

I hadn’t used WordPad in years - I used its predecessor Write quite a bit decades back - but it’s now backed up as well.

Oh, I definitely got that part. Inspired by COVID is about as interesting to me as something inspired by contemporary politics, which is to say that all I need to see is a blurb implying this and I’ll hard pass rather than even giving it 20 pages.

Those are good points.

First time in a few months that I’ve actually reserved several of the new titles at the libraries where I’ve got privileges. Not hugely excited, but at least appears better than what came out in fall onwards.

After Seasons 2 (and for that matter the ending of Season 1), “excited” is not quite the word that I would use for True Detective even after the partial rebound in Season 3.

I wish the people gagaing over Hamilton after the musical would have also watched the Adams-Hamilton confrontation in John Adams; he really did try to get the US to go to war with France as General Hamilton in an attempt to return to political power.

The remarkable thing about his performances is that you can easily recall them just from looking at the film title.

Yeah, while I thought the characterizations in Plumbers were a bit over the top and the plot a bit too condensed - I wouldn’t have wanted to watch it knowing nothing about Watergate - this wasn’t a bad series at all.

Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that the internet in all its glory apparently pounced on this about a day after it aired. Nor that the SNL writers appear rather familiar with that part of Craigslist.

as absolutely incredible as the 2019 debut season of For All Mankind was...the show’s true potential wasn’t revealed until season two

I’ve always wanted to see the details of the Craigslist ad for that, although I think I’m better off not knowing.

Some strange choices. Let’s try a few substitutes.

The Holdovers is indeed outstanding - easily on my top 5 of the year - but does have a whiff of Christmas sentimentality.

Married With Children’s You Better Watch Out.

Yes, wasn’t paying attention on an edit. I think the overall point is clear.

It should be taken as a testament to how practical effects and CGI are not incompatible or exclusive of one another but equal tools in the hands of a filmmaker, studio, and crew who know how to use them well.

First, it’s worth noting that Homicide had music editors that had some really deep cut knowledge. Long before Spotify playlists, possibly even before Youtube, I remember rather painfully tracking down a website that had parsed everything episode-by-episode because I’d genuinely never come across some of the stuff they…
