Yeah, I spent a while thinking it was a typo, but I’m going with “The Daily Show won’t be [Daily] following shooting at Trump rally”.

“that a single dad with non-biological children”

I divide movies loosely into “narrative movies” and “dream movies”, and 3 Women is about my favorite of the latter.

Jack, like Arnie S, somehow had a tendency to get cast in films where the clear assignment was “regular normal guy”, be obviously unfit for that description, and yet the movie works anyway.

Yeah, in most industries, you can get a leg up by knowing the business young, but you can go work for a company that’s not the one your parent was successful at.  Whereas Hollywood isn’t like that; it’s really one miasma of producers and studios.

The thing about Jack Quaid is that he doesn’t look like his father (that I see, anyway [EDIT: I see downthread I’m alone on this, ok]) and a bet a lot of people, like me, didn’t even make the connection until they learned it. So it’s sort of a bonus fact about him, rather than “well, OF COURSE he got all those roles…

My reaction is “Lorne, you didn’t have to do that.”

You (the reviewer) say “perfectly named”, I say “anvils are more subtle”.

I thought flashing back to Butcher pouring the “drink for Kessler” onto the table was one of those things that’s best not made explicit.  Because it’s silly.

Maggie Mull was a writer on Not Dead Yet, which explains that.  (He was the first obituary ghost; his on-screen widow remained a supporting character.)

In NYC is was on at 11PM (as was Fernwood 2nite when that was on, it was a summer replacement), but I imagine that as a syndicated show some places showed it during the day.

What? Shit.

It’s so weird how this has inverted in my lifetime. In Jules Feiffer’s The Great Comic Book Heroes (1965!) he posited that Superman is “really” Superman, and Clark Kent is the disguise — which is true if you think of Silver Age dweeby Clark; and Bruce Wayne is the “real” guy and Batman is a disguise, which is of…

Possible salute to Blades of Glory’s opening.

Which reminds me that it’s really funny that there’s a “Skip Intro” button on this series, whose “intro” is a 5-10 second title card.

Newton’s Wikipedia entry, right now, describes her as “a semi-professional golfer and actress” in that order, which I refuse to learn more about.

Just renewed!

I’d like to note that they followed through on the idea that although Jimmy is fictional, his mother is Actual Person Deidre Hall.

She’s very good at speaking plainly for a while and then dropping in something that makes me laugh without signaling “that was a joke”.

“They made Sue and Johnny be the kids of the woman who owns the boarding house where Reed and Ben live, and have 14 year old Sue crushing on Reed, which is kinda creepy for when they get together 10 years later.”
