Agreed re: seeing comedies; I think you lose the most with them because the jokes get stale & clichéd plus you're missing out on a fun communal experience.

I saw it in a theater somewhat recently too, and a couple of people behind me had never seen it. The funnest part of the experience was overhearing their chatter/confusion/screaming; I can probably recite at least half the movie verbatim at this point, so it was nice to be reminded of how surprising a lot of it is.

Jamie Foxx?

I have Showtime, but watched it on their streaming service for the extra episodes (and so did everyone else I know). I wonder if the ratings will go up once they start their regular release schedule.

Does that include Showtime Anytime or is that just cable viewers?

My coworker watched the first three episodes and was sold on the show (she described them as "a roller coaster for the brain" and is going to catch up before proceeding any further), but I wouldn't recommend it. I feel like there are too many references to past events that would just seem like arbitrary imagery out of…

That was how I fully intended to watch it….and then 4 hours later I was afraid of everything in my apartment.

Wasn’t there a soap where an actor died on the same day that his character died on the show? He was originally supposed to come back, but they ended up scrapping that storyline and actually dealing with his death.

I went to NYU when it aired so while I didn't watch the show, references to it were occasionally a source of mild annoyance, but now I totally want to watch it just for the nostalgia.

He also made sure the water in the one pool he built that was close to a black neighborhood was ice cold because he thought it would keep black people away.

I get mad every time I go over the Triborough Bridge now, but on the plus side, I'm no longer annoyed by its renaming (although I did just call it Triborough…)

If I remember correctly (also from The Power Broker), he set up an independent authority that didn't have to answer to local or state officials basically through a loophole. And as a result, he could operate without their input and more importantly, finance the projects independently.

The Moonlighting curse isn't real!

"Soulmate" means "in an emotionally manipulative, codependent relationship with an unusual degree of entitlement to your partner", right?..

I heard someone blasting it in their car a couple of weeks ago, which really threw me for a second.

There are definitely some similarities, but Pacey is a far more interesting character to me (and frequently the only saving grace of that show). But there's still time!

It's A LOT. And it only gets worse from there!

How could he not, it's ICONIC!

This one wasn't even R; it was either NC-17 or unrated (I remember the theater being particularly strict w/ IDs). To be fair, I think the sex scene had a lot to do with it.

Pumpkin and Honey Bunny?
