Seriously. It doesn't help that both actors have a serious case of "suburban gay voice," where they 'go up' on phrases before stretching out a nasal ending.

I'm not sure if 'attempted murder' is in the cards, but who knows?

I actually thought this might have been the 2nd best episode of the season so far. I loved the scenes with Tom on Nickelodeon's most trippy set, and how complex that interaction was: concern for Valerie; annoyance with Valerie plus camera crew; jealousy over Paulie's second chance…and the dude in the caterpillar…

The improv scenes were soooooo meta, it's sick, and I wonder just how many crappy actors Kudrow is spoofing from her own days on the improv stage. To watch this show, and then to see Lisa Rinna on a Real Housewives series is to see how dead on The Comeback gets this need to be famous for people who have touched it.

I think the wig is BOTH a way for Valerie to justify in her head that she's playing a character ("Mallory,") and to illustrate how absurd that justification is…because we all know and they all know and Valerie certainly knows (considering all her "this didn't happen" moments last night,) that she's playing a distorted…

What I think Rogen or "Rogen" or whatever is tuned into now is that 'Seeing Red' is less about Paulie's sober-artist redemption arc and more about his sadomasochistic sexual fetish punishment fantasies involving Valerie Cherish. Frankly, I'd LOVE if he begins to play his scenes that way and changes the nature of the…

…and, as I mentioned last week, that Kudrow chooses to play the "facade of no humiliation" as being demonstrative of Valerie's STRENGTH of character, versus WEAKNESS, truly knocks the portrayal waaaaaay out of the ballpark.

Oh no…she HAD to look at Paulie G…that was the perfect centerpiece to that scene and was so incredibly revelatory about how fucked up this situation is.

I took it as both, and I don't think her riff was off base, in that it was the first thing that came to mind and it was certainly appropriate.

Kudrow's pained, stressed face while Paulie G. and Rogen discussed the mechanics of the blow job should win her pretty much every acting award for the next 4000 years.

I think the issue that separates Griffin and Cherish is INTENT. Kathy Griffin, after being relegated (wrongly) to show biz purgatory after Suddenly Susan, used her place on the D-List to comment on the D-List and the absurdity of Hollywood, celebrity, rank and the rest.

The thing that Kudrow absolutely nails in this series isn't so much that Cherish is "oblivious that this action will harm her," but rather "smart and knowledgable that this action will harm her, but I'd rather be harmed and famous than protected and forgotten." I love that they've set us up for the rest of the season…

What I think makes it work is that Kudrow plays the "pushing down the abuse" trait as STRENGTH, versus WEAKNESS, and especially in the show business circus, it probably is a strength.

I always considered the Schumacher Batmans the Gay South Beach 90s Nightclub Batmans. You'd totally want to go there and boogie off some X, but not set a film there.

Nothing about the Sunday in the Park with George awesomeness?

Lost is so far from the best that I feel the need to get into an endless blood feud with my immortal brother and bitch about it to Mom's Mom.

The issue with Prometheus is that it's structure is the inverse of Alien.

By far, the most hysterical moment of the show for me was when they found a convenient supply of cans of lima beans at a "hoarder" house, and didn't have to pick them out of some Bird's Eye veggie medleys.

Mullholland Drive, but in that instance, I could understand the structure and was invigorated to discover the clues. Here, I'm dazzled by brilliant dramatic work while frustrated at the overall structure of the piece.

The difference, of course, is that Lost WAS about the mystery of the island, the apparent connections of the people on the plane, and the supposed revelations of the flashbacks, flash-forwards, and flash-sideways (God, that fucking show.) How many people downloaded and dissected the unintelligible map on the Hatch…
