Of course you can. Why do people think you can’t be a fan of the person but not the art? Or even a fan of some of the art but not other parts of the art? Or of the art but not the person? Are these difficult concepts to grasp for other people?

You can think that Phil Collins is a pretty damn fine drummer and still…

Good show, but didn’t really jump out at me in any way. Chance was solid.

The Trump Boys are one of the best bits of two-person comedy I’ve seen in decades (it’s positively Smothers Brothers-like)... which means Lorne will absolutely grind it into dust by running them out every... single... episode for about 3 years…

True, of course. The Warriors at least have a track record of success in the spring, so we can be fairly sure they won’t wilt. (Or if they do Steph will just go 34-39 from 3 and do it all himself.)

Another good question: would they be this good defensively if Hayward was healthy and in the rotation?  (Probably not, I…

The big question, of course, is “can they play this sort of defense for four games in a seven game series?” It’s November — everyone’s still fresh and healthy from the offseason. We’ll see how they do in April when everyone’s legs are jelly and they’ve been pounded like meat for half a year.

Still... cautiously…

I’m with your dad. Saw her in the MCU films, said “yep... still got it.”

(And since someone always asks this when I post about Jenny — yes, I’ve seen Walkabout.)

I disagree. Most of the fundamentals are the same — the character names, their general roles in the plot, many of the details of the society in which the story takes place. It’s very clear that the film was based on the book - the book is just significantly different. The film mainly adds things for dramatic purposes…

A bit old school... but Logan’s Run (which made wholesale changes to the original novel’s storyline) is quite a bit better than the book.

I wish Billy had a job where he didn’t have to write the same article every week or two because the program is run by idiots.

“Sir, do you think that neo-Nazi protesters in Virginia are a problem that needs to be addressed?”

“Well... they’re gone now, aren’t they?”

“It’s just like Total Football! The other team won’t know who to cover! We’ll dominate possession and have our pick of chances at goal!”

No. No, it is not like Total Football. Unless “Total Football” is what you call the electric football game that’s been sitting in your cellar since 1977.

I wonder if the proposed World Styrofoam Cup would actually work out the way US Soccer thinks it will. I don’t think you’re going to see Italy showing up with its full complement of Candrevas and Insignes to play in a meaningless tourney. I’m pretty sure that all the really good players will be leaned on heavily by…

I’ll believe it when I see it. Literally.

Had a friend who used him for a commercial he produced. Said he was just the nicest guy in the world. My cousin ran into him in a restaurant once, too. Ditto — didn’t mind when they just said hello to him at his table, and then caught up with them after he was finished to thank them and chat.

We sure did in public accounting.... It was like Melrose Place. I don’t expect that law or consulting or i-banking were any different.

I’ve had an.... interesting life, and have met/interacted with more than a few celeb types in my life. Ultimately, they’re just people. Some are great, some are assholes, some are probably mentally ill in some way. But to call out some of the better ones:

Exactly. The only thing unique about the entertainment industry is its visibility.

Felger’s actually from Wisconsin.

Pretty fair take on Colors. I’d describe it as Midnite Vultures without Beck having the balls to say “fuck it” and push everything to 12 on the ridiculousness scale.

1976 would like to question the accuracy of your Stones “peak” timeline...
