I think it was Polly Klaas’ sister wrote an absolutely searing OpEd on this recently. Apparently it must not have appeared in Nash-Betts’ feed.

Applegate has had a really tough road in recent years between the MS diagnosis and the double mastectomy and oophorectomy.

I thought there were a lot of elements successfully planted in the opener; whether or not they’ll pay off remains to be seen. The openly supernatural aspect is on one level fine but on another a little jarring given how the show has previously handled the hints of it; they’re going to have to walk a fine line with how

I viewed the sandwich stream as being broadcast to a family member, which would be on point for people stuck in a remote location. It would also fit with the Spanish speaker call to the police station that the secretary completely garbled.

Gomez is a great cast for this, but I’d be even more curious who they’d get to play Governor Moonbeam-era Jerry Brown - along with how they’d portray the relationship.

Yeah, I didn’t include Debicki largely because I skipped so much of the Diana storyline that I honestly didn’t feel I could make a judgement on her performance, much like Dominic West (whose work I’ve seen a lot more of.)

In looking at the best lead actor nominees, the only one you could realistically substitute DiCaprio in for would be Colman Domingo in Rustin, and I don’t think the demands on the former for his Killers role were anywhere close. It was a decent performance, but there just wasn’t a whole lot of nuance involved in

As I’ve said before, cautiously hopeful seems about right based on what I’ve read both here and elsewhere. We’ll see.

If Chris Perfetti had bothered with a shirt, his suit selection might have been one of the better ones of the evening. It’s striking, but doing it shirtless was a strange decision that greatly overrides the suit itself.

Yep, I too did a double take on that going ‘There’s no way Garfunkel looks that good nowadays’ before realizing who it actually was.

by her demeanor in the interviews, didn’t seem to harbor any ill will but I never forgot it

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.

There are undoubtedly people who hate this film

My back twinged just reading that.

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.

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