My college roommate spent the better part of four years torturing me with this and Phantom. I'm about to call him and laugh my ass off.

I’d rather watch Monkeybone again.

“The problem with the new Lion King is that the animals just aren’t expressive enough”

You’d have to have toxoplasmosis to think this looks good.

“Oh boy, a new James Corden movie!” - absolutely fucking no one, not even his mother

Just imagine if this were in the hands of a Ken Russell or Peter Greenaway. I would be down for that.

Real Madrid is worth $4.2 billion and had $893 million in revenue last year. Manchester United is worth $3.8 billion and had $795 million in revenue last year. These are two of the three most exorbitantly wealthy cash-printing economic juggernauts in the history of any sport ever. Don’t blame economics for their…

I wish the Red Stars (Chicago’s team) didn’t play in an industrial wasteland in an area completely unserved by public transit, and that takes over an hour to drive to in traffic. 

That’s what I enjoy most about women’s soccer: the fans are happier. Watching the women’s World Cup was such a nice break from men’s soccer, and the on-pitch action is just as good. Is the agreement with ESPN just for ESPN+ or will these games be shown on television? If the latter, I’ll definitely be watching.

I could see Bob—in one of his hallucinatory episodes—swimming in the Caribbean and talking to the little fish.  

Really good article. I enjoy women’s soccer, I feel like the ball control and organizational style (instead of the long outlets, and more spread feel of the men’s game)

Just wait until HBO Semi-Quarter Regionals. That’s when things will get really exciting.

But the scene at Selina’s funeral with Gary... yowza.

so many rock singers are tenors, so many theatre people are baritones, they should maybe have slid this one down a few notes

I wish nominations announcer D’Arcy Carden could have announced her own name for Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series

It being added toNetflix gave the show a lot of exposure.

“True Detective might have aired too early for awards season and then gotten forgotten.”

It aired much, much later than Sharp Objects, for example. 

Anyone who can clearly explain what the difference between “Structured Reality Series,” “Unstructured Reality Series,” “Documentary or Nonfiction Series,” and “Informational Series” will get a prize from me, especially seeing what is nominated in each category.

“Same with Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Best Actress In A Comedy for Veep: The record’s been broken, let someone else take home a statue, preferably the long-overdue Catherine O’Hara.”
