Or, hell, maybe Harry didn’t even have to end up with someone he met in high school.

Somewhere around here I’ve got a list of who’s going to be first up against the wall when the revolution comes, and whoever said “Hey, let’s interrupt people’s shows with CNN alerts” is getting added to it.

I agree; the finale really felt like a place you could stop the story. Especially with what happened in S3 (i.e. the hole), it’d be kind of hard to carry on.

I thought this was fashionably late capitalism.

I’m in the same position, but I would have to say that since every major movie release keeps doing it, they presumably have metrics that show that the promotion does lead to increased whatever: mindshare, box office revenue, secondary sales, etc.

You know, I think it’s best if you simply avoid responding to my comments. I don’t really want to hear from you.

Disavowed, probably. Dude’s always getting disavowed.

Woo, more fantasy where One Badass Rights All Wrongs and Torture Is Effective.

*raises hand*

Anyone else having trouble posting or with the “Load more comments” button?

Oh no!

“before dipping back to the exact same “Nandor acts like he knows Guillermo’s secret but he’s just being an idiot” joke that finished out “Urgent Care.””

I’ll augment that by saying that I’m one of those weirdos who really loves season 5 (Archer: Vice). But anyway, my view is, set aside a couple hours on a Saturday and binge the first 8 or 9 episodes of season 1. If you’re not into it by then, you can probably stop. If you are, well then, your weekend is planned.

The problem with that is that the union loses the potential leverage of one of the studios breaking with the others. Say Paramount decides, fuck it, we’re losing money hand over fist, we’ll make a deal. So they do, and SAG says, great, our actors can now work on/promote Paramount projects. Suddenly the other majors…

You’re probably right, but Shocksplicer said “won’t do anything for their careers,” which isn’t quite right. A major production that got pulled (for what everyone will assume are BS accounting reasons) definitely does more for your career than nothing. I didn’t mean to assert that it’s just as good as a released…

There’s a union rule (both SAG and WGA have it, possibly others) that two of its members cannot be credited by the same name at the same time. Based on their IMDB credits, Lloyd-the-younger is probably in the WGA but not SAG; Lloyd-the-elder is in SAG but not WGA. As such there’s no union rule conflict preventing them…

It’s not even that unusual for actors to move into production later in their careers! I actually did think they were the same person (the actor) for a few years, when I would occasionally see the name in a production credit on some sitcom.

It can be two things!

Yep. This one’s the (63-year-old) TV producer, who co-created Modern Family, not the (84-year-old) actor who played Doc Brown.
