Most scientists posit actual time spent in Florida is irrelevant— if you are in Florida, you are a Florida Person with all that entails.

Yeah but actors aren’t supposed to ad-lib unless the environment calls for it. A tiny ad-lib the actor thinks is a genius innovation might annoy everyone else and call for another take. There could also be issues like script continuity the actor isn’t considering or aware of.

He may have been condescending and and over the line in shutting her down but I mean, an actor is really not supposed to ad-lib in a scripted TV drama. They’re filming 24 episodes a season and don’t have time to do endless takes if every actor thinks they can one-up the writers. Even if the addition is an…

I’m starting to think it’s more of an over 40 thing at this point. I don’t think it’s being picked up by younger generations like The Wire and Breaking Bad are but you can’t even imagine how huge The Sopranos was in the early 00s.

Yeah that was my first thought. Plus his father died when he was 13ish so maybe it would have been difficult to watch him in anything, much less a show where he has a lot of sex scenes.

How about we try rotating different celebrities as short-term conservators until Mike Richards decides to appoint himself?

It’s not great because of the mob stuff— that part is good and it makes the show fun to watch but it’s not what makes it great... I mean there’s not a lot of new ground covered other than portraying the mafia as becoming increasingly irrelevant and unviable which itself is more a comment on the American system and way…

I look forward to paying $7 once and cramming in a lot of listening. I don’t know if I’m up for $84 a year for podcasts. 

.... “This is the hardest letter I’ve ever had to write.”

That’s what they always say. That same farm must have seventeen billion horses on it.

Actually looks a lot more like Joan Cusack.

She’s hardly the only entertainer who’s been convicted of a crime then went back to work or even saw their career boosted by the publicity. Actors, musicians etc play by different rules than workers in corporate America.

I don’t think Canada would say no as they desperately want to keep film production happening there and don’t want to piss off Hallmark.

Among other things it is (and has long been) one of the top film schools in the world.

Maybe if there was Mike Richards style outrage on the twitters Hallmark would think twice about hiring her. Though I think Hallmark knows its audience doesn’t care, they don’t consider what she did a real crime and this will probably be the highest rated program they’ve ever run.

The drug angle will be hinted at the beginning of act 2, be the dominant narrative in second half of the act and be resolved in first half of act three followed by a triumph with bittersweet notes.

I was half expecting the winner to turn out to be Mike Richards. 

It’s not all that good but it definitely is really really blue.

I’m definitely watching, show looks great... Just commenting on their weird marketing as that’s a very off-putting image, even the composition is funky. Or maybe that’s working as intended since I haven’t commented on any other promo pictures today.

I may drive over from Utica to experience such a completely alien and unfamiliar cuisine.
