I’ve just noticed that half the scripts this season are written by women. Outside of Shana Gohd, who had already been involved with Archer last year, they’re also all new to the show.

If she had been in poor health or simply exhausted in the months before she died, she could have asked for fewer lines in the season they were writing. Because, there’s very little in the script for the episodes that looks like filler material that they had to write because they didn’t record enough lines from Walter.

You should check Difficult People, created by Julie Klausner and also starring Billy Eichner, on Hulu. They only had three seasons, but they had a blast with mocking HBO, Woody Allen, Kevin Spacey, Grace and Frankie, Aaron Sorkin and the Duplass brothers.

Campbell guested a couple of weeks ago in A.P. Bio as Jack Griffin’s oft-mentioned but never seen deadbeat dad who left his family while Jack was still a child. For some reason, it seems like the guy is in high demand when it comes to play smarmy father figures.

They’ve already done that with The Night Manager. Her character was a guy in the book.

The psyche of Tereza Draco, aka Tracy Bond, is much explored in both the book and the film adaptation of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Unfortunately, it was a direction that they never really built on for three decades.

Having a character clearly much too old for the part worked like bonkers with Roddy McDowall in Lord Loves a Duck, in which he’s supposed to be an high school senior (he was almost 37), opposite Tuesday Weld, as the whole film mocks the style of the beach party movies.

Hey, in Baby Driver, he basically lifted the character out of Shelly Johnson, the waitress played by Mädchen Amick in Twin Peaks.

The issue with a lot of latter day Christopher Nolan is that he has some supposedly cool visual gimmick as a foundation to the script that then results in more and more exposition to explain, and to partially justify it. Everything else then plays second fiddle to the Big Concept.

It makes sense for Helen Mirren to be involved with Taylor Hackford’s project. They’ve been married for nearly 25 years.

The article is full of holes and half-assessments. It’s easy to check that, as the intro mentions immediately François Truffaut after Godard, as if it were the right thing to do. Mississippi’s Mermaid is a minor entry and, seriously, one of the worst films Truffaut ever directed. While working on this movie, he…

HBO Max, more exactly. Approximately two years ago, there were some big changes at Comedy Central, as the current ViacomCBS management got rid of Kent Alterman and added Comedy Central to the responsibilities of the MTV Networks guys. They’re now focusing mostly on animation, and the remaining live action shows on the…

Charlie doesn’t play on You Can’t Always Get What You Want. It’s producer Jimmy Miller on the drums kit.

The entire show looks more and more like a collection of discarded concepts for entire seasons of American Horror Story (“Hey, how about a direct sequel to Murder House?”) stripped to fit as a few episodes that could be shot during the pandemic (“Rubber (Wo)Man” and the finale) plus dropped B-plots that could never…

What previous seasons had:

The irony is that Murray’s behavior on set is the exact thing that Chevy Chase, who was for a while his rival, has been guilty of for decades. Complaining to his fellow cast members about TV being an inferior media compared to film, which is supposedly the Big League.

Her husband isn’t even Jewish à la Jared Kushner or Sheldon Adelson. He’s been a writer/producer on Late Night with Conan O’Brien (he met her when she was an intern and a performer), Nathan for You, Eagleheart, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and, lately, Girls5eva.

Sure, but it’s the time of the season.

As I’m 6'1", that’s about the first time my height is described as almost gigantic...

It would be a good idea to pair it with Three Busy Debras.
