I guess that the moves applies to the material Neil Young fully oversees as a Warner recording artist. For CSNY and Buffalo Springfield, he’s part of a band, and a decision would be supposed to be collegial, and he was a guest on the Booker T solo album that was recorded for a different label, while the Stills-Young…

The dig at Young in the lyrics was good-natured, and Young himself acknowledged that his lyrics were a little too simplistic.

Dick is also partly to blame for Phil Hartman’s wife relapse in her coke addiction, according to Jon Lovitz.

As Seth Meyers said, by pulling his music out of Spotify, Neil Young is giving up on hundreds of thousands of cents.

On a side note, it makes no sense to mention repeatedly the whole NCIS franchise in association with Quantum Leap. Bellisario was essentially sidelined from NCIS by Mark Harmon after four seasons, and he eventually sued CBS because he didn’t get a cut from the spinoffs. So, Bakula’s involvement with NCIS:NO is simply…

The Kubrick research was actually handed down to Cary Joji Fukunaga four or five years ago. He has been in touch with Kubrick’s family. The miniseries (which is currently in development at HBO with Spielberg attached as a producer) was actually mentioned during the interviews for No Time to Die.

Dangerous Men. From a different Iranian expatriate in the Amir Shervan school of filmmaking, this one is even more inept than Samurai Cop, as it’s a thriller that the guy couldn’t complete in the eighties, then in the nineties, until he ultimately released it in 2006. So, you have two different casts a decade apart,…

As you might have heard it, the AV Club office (and headquarter) in Chicago is about to be closed, with all current employees being asked to redeploy to Los Angeles if they don’t want to be fired. Freelancers like Zack may not be directly affected, but this thing is sending shockwaves all over the future of this site.

They probably wrote and shot the Broadway number as a digest of what the entire musical would be like, so they could use clips from it during the sequence in the first episode. It was cheaper and easier than to write and shoot five or eight different mini-segments with glimpses of a plot between them. When it’s shown…

WTF are you saying? I wasn’t trying to defend Johnston. I was merely trying to explain why he still had a few gigs here and there, even if people who knew him well (and who are not Trump supporters) were definitely aware for years that he had turned into a political extremist. They had some hope it was just a phase…

If you check Johnston’s credits on IMDb, he mostly has done voice work or bit parts (the Better Call Saul cameo) in the last few years. And his work in animation consists of parts he had created a decade ago (Bob’s Burgers or Mr. Pickles/Momma Named Me Sheriff). Otherwise, parts had dried up since 2017, with just a…

You’re probably right. The Rangers spinoff, in which she would have been a lead (and much more difficult to fire) was never officially greenlighted, presumably because they didn’t want to tie themselves with a “maverick” who wasn’t afraid to “speak her mind”.

He was “fired”, not fired, because he wasn’t under contract.

Laura Silverman dated Louis C.K. decades ago. And Jay Johnston also dated, a long time ago, national treasure Paget Brewster.

In “I Love You, America”, there was a recurring segment with a male talk show host who was just there to serve as a reassuring presence to the audience, but who had nothing to do. After a few shows, the guy understands he’s just a tool, he leaves and ultimately he joins some group that looks just like the Proud Boys,…

The Twilight Zone segment should be discarded from consideration. After three people were killed due to recklessness during production of the Landis segment, Spielberg tried to leave the project, but was forced to stay in due to the contract he had signed. He didn’t try to make any improvement to the script, he went…

“This movie takes a cast of peerless actors and has them deliver a series of blunt policy speeches in underlit hotel conference rooms.”

“Our rankings of the week, all ranked.”

Could they at least make a crossover episode with Succession?

That’s how I take it. What matters is that Tony Soprano, the character, is metaphorically dead. There’s nothing more about him than what has already been told. He won’t change anymore. He could die in ten minutes or in thirty years, he will be stuck in that state of mind.
