That must have been really hard on Craft Services.

He needs a revenue stream since all the advertisers will be leaving when the hate speech ramps up.

Seems you had almost the same relationship with Padraic as Colm did.

I’m a non-practicing Jew and this does not bother me at all. It’s not like Jews are poorly represented in Hollywood. As Mel Brooks said, “if it wasn’t for Jews...there wouldn’t be a theater.”

“Banshees of Insherrin” was really good. I expected it to get dark, just not in that way.

You (and I) are the winner because you have never watched a single episode.

Gold digger? She is worth substantoally more than he is and always has been.

I like documentaries and watch some, but not as many as a lot of people around here.  I rarely know what they are parodying and I love the show. It is hilarious even without context.

Would see in theater.

The Play USA survey examined multiple aspects of tipping behavior, such as which types of services get the biggest tips and which generation has the best tippers

I readily admit that I have trouble remembering which is which out of Paul Thomas Anderson, Paul WS Anderson, and Wes Anderson.

You can do that with frosted ones, too. Anything an unfrosted Pop Tart can do, a frosted one can do better.
