I don’t remember his dad being in the public eye much.

Responding to your edit of your previous comment: to me it feels out of character for him to admit to having a crush on a woman who isn’t his daughter and not named Tiffany. Usually he gushes about how much people love HIM.

A lot of celebs have criticized him.

He may be a pathological liar, but if he’s making this up why Debra Messing? She’s attractive and successful enough, but not exactly an A-lister.

One things that’s really weird about Trump’s success is that I never got the impression he was especially admired before he went all political. If you’d asked me 15 years ago which non-politician celebs were most likely to be president someday, he wouldn’t have been high on my list.

“that hack Palsy Greengrass”

Maybe, but I don’t really see “Russell being Russell” as an acknowledgement that he’s a creep, more like dismissing his behavior as harmless schtick.

Wait ‘til he finds out how Shakespeare’s wife Anne Hathaway is doing.

I notice the Dune miniseries is shorter than Villeneuve’s version.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the Lynch version, but since I was also underwhelmed by the Villeneuve version one thing I notice is that passion for the source material doesn’t always mean better results. Lynch made it clear when he took on Dune that he had no interest in sci-fi. Villeneuve loves sci-fi and…

Weird how people think “that’s just (blank) being (blank)“ somehow makes their behavior less bad. The fact that this is normal for them makes it better, not worse? Reminds me of this line from Taxi: “You have to forgive Louie, he’s himself today.”

Missed Oppenheimertunity not having him play Edward Teller.

I was so looking forward to the HBO series based on Sphere, but that appears to have been Zaslaved to death along with Westworld.

I turned 37 on March 7 and Sphere, one of my favorite books since I was a kid, was released May 12 the same year, so I think feeling old is appropriate.

Are you a Crichton fan?

It’s a Paste-mas miiiiiracle!

Beeeeelaaaaay thaaaaat moooooviiiiie ooooordeeeeer!

To me, though, it seems like even regular internet commenters with no skin in the game say things like “the actors did their best with the crap the writers gave them” a lot more often than the reverse.

Wonder if SNL will start its season September 14 so it can do a debate sketch.
