In the (regular season) NE/BUF game last month, the clock time between the calling of the first-half two-minute warning and the actual halftime was TWENTY-NINE MINUTES.  Don’t know where that fits in here but I’m still amazed by it.

One of the features of the old-style Agatha Christie adaptations, which is largely what Knives Out riffs on, is that the cast is stacked like that precisely so you can’t recognize the culprit just because they’re the most famous person.

Don’t know if this is called out later in the comments, but, when C is shot:

If it’s what I’m thinking of, I did exactly the same thing; you get all the way there and can’t get in.  Later, you’ll be able to get in, for no apparent reason.  I don’t think there’s even a fig leaf of a key or anything.

The fact that the Comcast/Starz thing is resolved is actually the most interesting thing to me, since it will matter a week from now (if you’re in the group that cares).

Or.,..well, I remember when SCTV first hit the (US) air, and one piece about it (in the Village Voice) referred to the tone as “parodies of shows that don’t exist in the first place” (paraphrase). And a few years later I read a different piece somewhere else, which pointed out that at least some of those were actually…

I thought “check” is American and “bill” is English.  Don’t know about Canada, etc.

Note that the good guys now have with them an empty new Baby Yoda pram, which Kuiil just built for, oh, no story reason at all, hee hee hee. I’m guessing it’s got some built-in weaponry or something.

Or with the same other person, through kink or shenanigans.

My sister had shoulder or arm surgery and was told that she has an extra muscle in there.  And because it’s genetic, maybe I do as well.

Interesting; I find “that’s a pass that’s almost impossible to defend against” 100% fine.

Right. I think Baby was intending to use defensive Force rather than blow the droid away.

“Defense” as verb may be correct — although I don’t hear it as correct — but what about “defend” to mean “defend against”? As in, the cornerback’s job is to defend the receiver. No, not in my language.

Especially weird about Wilde popping up to defend this, per WP:

Dammit, Kara!

I’m sure they’ll eventually explain how “Ed, the Bowling Alley Lawyer” released the Anti-Monitor, where and when.

(We’re just doing Norm quotes now, right?)

No, incredibly enough, that was a DIFFERENT wife that he cheated on. He’s had 3; the cancer patient was #1, Callista is #3. (Also, #1 did not die of her cancer — the cancer was in 1980 and she lived until 2013.)

I swear to God, I didn’t realize that wasn’t Myers until this moment.  (I don’t watch all that carefully, true.)

I will remind the world at every opportunity: the woman with whom Newt Gingrich committed adultery, while impeaching Bill Clinton for sexual misdeeds, is now the actual US Ambassador to the Vatican.
