Yeah, I mean, no shade - they don’t look bad. I’ve since gone down a wormhole of celebrity hair transplants, and I gotta say Machine Gun Kelly is a surprising before & after. Granted I only know him from dating Megan Fox, but his before pics are almost charming in their ordinariness. 

I thought some of the best stuff was the old-timer writers clashing with the younger writers. (Dan Leahy’s Benny is my favorite.) But yeah, Levitan’s background is probably the best explanation for the sort of odd tone, where there’s some sharp cable-level stuff, and then safe network-level stuff. (Yeah yeah, I know…

I have the same thing, my hair receded...about a quarter of an inch.  So I have a full head of hair but a massive forehead

Having never watched The Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway has always had a special place in my heart from being on that short-lived TV show Get Real. It was one of those fourth wall-breaking shows where the characters address the camera, and in an episode (maybe the first?) she’s in her room talking about whatever, …

Variety is a little generous, but mostly right on. I’m sure it couldn’t be as 100% bad as I remember it...right?

For sure - she seems to sort of swallow the ends of sentences, which unfortunately is where the punchlines are.  “Good luck to that baby, his daddy is wearing Allbirds” was a decent burn but I just barely caught it.

Im curious as to what they will do with Lord Commander Westerling.  He is such a minor character in Fire and Blood that he just dies of natural causes.  But since he's played by an actor from Outlander I expect to see this role greatly expanded.  I hope anyway, he's one of the few likable people. 

To be totally fair on this one, most of the people who hear about Viserys’ last words are also people who have a vested interest in making sure that the Aegon in question ends up on the throne, so it stands to reason that they’re not going to interrogate what’s basically a very convenient figleaf for them to do what…

It was really good and it was something this show really needed. It felt like a small show because it was just a bunch of people sitting around and talking without their being a sense of what the stakes are. And there you have it- stakes. People to be ruled, a crown, a huge building, cool architecture.

I haven’t seen this brought up before, so now’s as good a time as any: how do Viserys and Alicent have such shit children? Not Helaena, she’s fine, but really now, Aegon and Aemond are almost cartoonishly abhorrent. Where does it come from?

Whether it was intentional or not, I had no idea what was going to happen at that coronation. Was Alicent going to take Rahneys’ woman empowerment talk and crown herself, was Aegon going to stab himself with the dagger, was Aemond going to pull a fast one.....and then damn! It went without a hitch!

Not sure. Ask the version who still nervously twirls her hair (in ENDS) when talking to a crush. 

I agree. I don’t know if it was all the slang, Megan being a fast taker or the infamous SNL sound difficulties but I couldn’t hear half the dialogue. I don’t think I missed much, though 

Regarding “The Blob” (1958): I contend that the 1988 remake(?) is kitschier, and, somehow, better. It certainly leans into the scenery-chewing, with zero impact on the scares.

Spot on. I don’t understand why the author (one of Australia’s most notorious bank robbers at the time he was arrested) didn’t write a straight memoir instead of this fictionalised, Lawrence of Arabia via Byron Bay whatever-it-is. I remember getting to the end of the book and wanting to hurl it against the wall.

Halloween 3 was one of the first horror movies I ever saw as a little kid and it scared the living crap out of me and haunted me for years, as first-horror-movies-as-a-kid are wont to do, so it has a special place in my heart for that. But watching it now... it’s certainly silly fun? Also “if you watch this video you…

She was very good in The Good Wife

I think it was supposed to be ummm brechtian?  like...it’s not Damn Yankees where you just have a young guy replace the old guy.  And it’s not Captain America: The First Avenger where you can CGI a stick-guy in for a big guy.  And, although that guy who was in the musical of Rocky and that guy who was in the musical…

But in either series will she finally get to fuck Ray Bradbury?

A renaissance in reference to an actor or artist implies that either they’re back after a long break or that they’ve returned to peak form after a string of disappointing projects. Neither applies to Rachel Bloom, who aside from taking a short break to have a baby has been working consistently and to acclaim since Cra…
