The transition from the Silent Era to Talkies also signaled the end of the prominence of women behind the camera. I wonder if they’ll address that.

I do get tired of the whole _______, but with songs schtick, but I’ve got to admit that The Nanny (a super campy comedy/romance that includes a Broadway money man as a main character) seems like one of the best possible properties for the format.

Why are all Broadway musicals now born from the idea of “Wouldn’t it be funny if we made _____ into a musical?”

It is very odd as Brits usually only steal African American music.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a continuation of these characters because they’re so complex (every single one of them), and there’s so much to mine. I think it could be done right. It was a fun puzzlebox to watch unfold. The fact that Jeanette knew Kate was down there clarifies why she was so startled at the gunshots, like…

You and D.R. are both weird, have your weird little conversation without me please

“it feels a little unfair that There’s Something About Mary got commended for the very thing that earnest women-led romantic comedies are so often derided for.”

The debut of “Handmaid’s Tale - the series” occurred right after the first truly viable women’s POTUS candidate lost the election. Instead, a man being sued by his rape victim, bragged on tape about “grabbing women by the pussy,” was thrice married and paid an adult movie actress to cover up an affair became POTUS. It…

Considering the Hollywood norm since almost its inception has been pairing male leads with women in their 20s no matter how old they are, and having women in their 30s and 40s play the mothers of male actors 5-10 years younger, it’s unsurprising how that’s been glorified. I’m also glad to see the trend turned on its…

“I would try to reach out to fellow musicians and sometimes I just don’t hear from them anymore,” Clapton said. “My phone doesn’t ring very often. I don’t get that many texts and emails any more. It’s quite noticeable.”

Garfield plays Jon

You missed a better joke by not going with the German word for bassoon, “Fagott.” It’s virtually pronounced the same as the English slur

I’ll probably watch this, I want to see how they rectify some of the outdated tiresome things in the OG (which I also really enjoyed watching as a kid) - like all the women characters having the same face, running in heels, etc.

Jeez, at least the straight guy trolls at “South Park” tried to redefine the word into something else. “If you’re offended by f***** you are one” doesn’t even give a flimsy cover to its use.

In the middle ages the jews created a sophisticated system very much like modern banks.

That’s really a shame. I think those things are destined to fade away though, just like the Cleveland Indians getting rid of “Chief Wahoo” and Washington renaming their football team. It took a while but it happens.

Yeah it’s fine, there was a close friend of mine who said “you got gypped” the other day and he had no clue it was a reference to the stereotype of Romani people being cheating thieves

Shylock (the villainous Jewish moneylender of Shakespeare’s writing) is a character from the 16th century. Why do you think “loan sharks” are associated with the term?
