I think that’s why older gym teachers tend to be fat. They are typically former athletes who got into it because they thought that would be a career that used their enthusiasm for physical activity, but as they aged and became less physical themselves their diets didn’t reflect their new sedentary state.

I completely get what he did wasn’t at all a scientific experiment (not even counting all the calories he was getting from alcohol in addition to the fast food), but the main point was at the time (at least in the US) it was almost impossible to order a reasonable amount of food at McDonald’s because the employees

Have you never heard the term “pee-break” to refer to a non-essential part of a movie where you could leave for five minutes or so to pee and not miss important plot info?

I completely forgot that was in a Netflix episode because I thought all the good stuff was S1-3.

Like anyone wouldn’t want to be cuddled by Qualley and Dafoe.

I don’t know if people still believe this story, but when he won in 2016 (the Electoral College, anyway) people were saying that this wasn’t really what he wanted to happen — he was running for President fully expecting to lose and use this additional fame (and the viewership of the disgruntled base who supported him)

Yeah, take a look at the list of top 20 richest people in the world. Yes, you’ll find Bezos and Musk, but most of the rest are people you’ve never heard of and they want it that way.

Arguably this was the reason Star Trek became a movie franchise and then spawned multiple series --  Star Trek TOS was being syndicated in the 1970s and 1980s so it was never forgotten.

And long before LOST was ever a glint in the lens flares of J.J. Abrams, one of the Gilligan reunion movies (1978's Return to Gilligan’s Island) had the concept of the castaways being rescued, fail to readjust to life in the normal world, and go back to the island where they were more comfortable. All of which J.J.

How about a I Dream of Jeanie reboot? I mean besides the sexism and orientalism, it’d work today, right?

There’s also apparently the historic Capitol Records building behind it. I guess this is fantasy LA.

Tentacle movies? Hentai is a very specific niche that many might not be comfortable with.

You cant unsee it. He’s like those cheap no-name action figures you see in dollar stores where they didn’t give a fuck about scale.

It doesn’t rhyme so it doesn’t work the way Bill Nye the Science Guy does. Let me help you: Tom Cruise the scientology schmooze.

The sad thing is Jim Davis actually had a second, superior, strip titled U.S. Acres (1986-1989) set on a farm. It failed to get enough newspapers to carry it to make it worthwhile and so it died.

Mary Worth, Blondie, and Lois (from Hi and Lois) better be on the SNCSCU version of the Avengers.

But what he does that’s unforgivable is to eat lasagna despite having absolutely no Italian ancestry. That’s cultural appropriation!

Vin Diesel got a good paycheck saying “I am Groot” over and over.

I’ve also heard that they’ve scaled back on the castmembers interacting with the guests at their “Galaxy’s Edge” Star Wars lands for likely the same reason. When it opened, the idea was it was all in character with the castmembers “really” being stormtroopers, Jedi, and so on.
