Some of her books would make great movie, tv series, or miniseries adaptations. I don’t see it with this one. It’s so internal. There’s no action. 

Early unoin activists were hardcore. They killed people who got in their way. Or look at Harvey Milk. He didn’t care what it took to force gay guys out of the closet. They’d look at the present moment and laugh. Imagine getting all righteous about being “cancelled.” 

Chris Brown was years ago. I wikied him and since the allegations, he’s been much more lower profile. 

I feel like the project wouldn’t actually be served by Kate McKinnon doing her Kate McKinnon SNL thing. Doing the voice, turning Holmes into a cartoon, would probably undersell how disturbing the whole thing was. It needs someone who plays Holmes absolutely straight. 

I think it survives for a long time, exactly because it’s a neat, easy, way to address many of the things that make people hesitant about Silicon Valley tech and culture, for which we’re usually called dinosaurs or communists.

I’m obsessed with hoaxes, so I read the Theranos news like it was my job. I can’t see myself watching a dramatised version, because the real story is nuts enough. I could see them doing something like The Big Short, where it’s basically a glorified documentary.

Someone directly asked him about this show, and he said “Hey, good for them. I’m happy for anyone who succeeds in this business.”

Eh, it’s not like that was the only show with the loser slob husband and the pretty, patient wife.

They don’t even need to do that. The daughter that was written out partway through - have her come back. She was an alcoholic, now she’s sober, and she joins the group. 

If she didn’t want to do it any more, he could have written her out and focused the show on any of the other characters. He has no problem doing that. 

Originally I read that she and Janney signed contracts for two years, which would have taken the show into 9 seasons. That’s why her quitting out if nowhere shocked everyone. She’d just signed for two more years. And Lorre shows go on forever. Two and a Half Men ran for 12 seasons, including a ton after the main…

Honestly I don’t know why the DoJ isn’t working around the clock to figure out what secrets he sold what people. This isn’t even a partisan thing. It’s exactly what can screw a GOP administration as much as a Democratic one.

As always, the right to free speech has never been absolute. Formenting an insurrection against your own government? Not free speech. 

Apparently NYS is going after him for taxes and GA for trying to get votes thrown out. Hopefully he spends the rest of his life and all his money tied up in court. Or in prison. Real prison.

He could join parler or gab. He could start a podcast. He’s still the most famous man in the world. He could email his random tweets to Fox, they’d air them. So would any other network. He has a youtube. 

I don’t understand that attitude. What does Whedon being a good person have to do with whether Buffy is a good show?

King of Queens was stealthy good. And not just because the supporting players (Jerry Stiller, Patton Oswalt, Nicole Sullivan) are better than usual. It was better than the usual ugly guy hot wife show, because the wife was actually awful, but also the show didn’t expect us to side with either one consistently. They…

Not sure what point you’re making? Hockey will always be mostly white because it’s played in Canada and Northern Europe. Basketball and soccer are played all over the world, because all you need is a ball and hoop. I don’t think the demographics of who plays professionally has to be the same as who likes it. Sports…

I thought the pelotaunt sketch was funny. And I didn’t notice that about gym instructors in general but you’re right. I know the recurring one was specifically created by Yang (he auditioned with that character, I believe). Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt had a whole episode about soulcycle so it’s probably a successful NY…

I liked the cringey guys sketch. It reminded me of one they did a long time ago, the douchebag championship with Seth Rogen hosting. Just have three guys being an absolutely awful specific type of person. The setup doesn’t matter. Watching awful people (especially a very particular type of awful we don’t talk about…
