Yeah, I’d actually give this a shot if it was a completely fresh property in a similar vein but for a prequel to work you have to have some curiosity about the world and desire to see backgrounds or unanswered questions explored. I have no further questions about the GoT universe, it’s something that’s over and done…

Thanksgiving isn’t even all that good. I mean, it’s totally watchable but it’s not that good. Peanuts specials coasted on goodwill for decades... Though the first two movies are fantastic too.

Grohl might be sick of looking at the cover himself and think this is a good time to change it. Or maybe he never liked it in the first place but it wasn’t his call back then. 

It’s pretty amazing that ageism is still so rampant by the same people who won’t tolerate even the slightest hint of prejudice in any other area of life.

This is good news for us collectors. My original 4th pressing of the CD with the banned cover is going to be worth a fortune!

Last time though he left two seasons after he should’ve which is still very Showtime.

Yeah but most of that cheap cash-in stuff was when Titanic was a recent blockbuster and fresh in everyone’s memory. Butch Cassidy is a 50+ year old movie and while it’s inarguably a classic it’s not something I would automatically expect most under 35 year olds to have seen—I mean good on them if they have, but in the…

Oh, I’m sure they were aware they were churning out garbage but didn’t care. Their business model seemed to be that the networks needed to fill three hours with animation on Saturday morning and they didn’t care what is was as long as it was dirt cheap.

You have to understand they were in the Old West and that’s what cowboys did back then. It was a different time. 

If I saw DeNiro on the street I’d have gone up to him and said “Hey! You lookin’ at me? I’m walkin’ here!” over and over like he does in that Taxi Cowboy movie.

I do think his meltdown was a case of him trying to do provocative material he just wasn’t smart or skilled enough to pull off. When I see the video it seems like he’s probably trying to be racist in a meta-commentary way but he didn’t have the charisma or delivery to sell it or the improvisational skills to bail and…

Larry David wasn’t exactly a cast member but he’s probably the clearest winner in the Seinfeld Olympics. You might think Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the runner up but I think that might actually have to go to Patrick Warburton.

There actually was a lot of Depression-era nostalgia in 60s and 70s entertainment. Retro-Vaudeville was a thing and movies about 30s gangsters and grifters were huge for example.

If life in the universe as we currently understand it didn’t come to an abrupt and final halt when Louis Prima died it’s certainly not going to happen with David Lee Roth.

Even 20-25 years ago it could have worked, I think it’s a real Gen X kind of concept that’s probably been done by them two dozen times already. But I feel like the world has moved past stuff about middle class white guys who have perfectly fine jobs making decent money but are moping because they didn’t get to be rock…

I’m gonna guess it’s a bowling expression and it’s because if you throw in your special bowling shoes they won’t let you back on the lanes.

Were you at Disneyland, the Happeningest Place On Earth at the time?

I think I see the problem. Hard seltzer is generally meant to be administered orally.

Bullies with massive egos are common in entertainment, not just at the top but in the middle too— working as a PA 15 years back I encountered incredibly awful behavior from people only one or two runs higher but the general attitude was it’s to be expected and you have to take the outbursts and belittling because even…

How much does this social media thing cost if the guy who plays James Bond can’t afford to have one?
