Vilifying her over that is ridiculous. She took a solid job offer over waiting for an indeterminate period of time for Carson to retire. Would a male host have been called an asshole over that or would they have been called a cutthroat businessman? Events of the 90s and 00s also showed NBC couldn’t exactly be trusted…

“Death of Stalin” is great and not a biopic or attempt to accuracy depict history at all. It’s like a Russian “Burn After Reading”.

I think prison might be more likely for Kendall. I see the kids surviving but who knows. Logan will in all likelihood die or be made so unfit he may as well be gone (I mean, the show is named after the event his death will trigger) but I don’t think it’s a given any of the kids will.

I’d suggest Kendall a) didn’t want to sexualize his sister and b) being a 2020s corporate guy he is hyperaware that merely saying “tits” out loud could ruin him if the wrong person heard. He reached for the most intelligent-sounding replacement word he could come up with and of course it’s both awkward and hilarious.

He’s a detective who plays by his own rules! His own rules include always doing what he’s told by his superiors without argument.

If you include selfies in the count I think a lot of current twentysomething nobodies might technically have had more photos taken of them.

Courting a certain crowd (who are hard to define exactly but being vocally “anti-PC” and having a trollish bent is a big part of it) is probably really lucrative. I’ve heard Louis CK shows are always sold old now and he’s playing some big venues (for a comedian, at least) and this is who his audience is now.

Honestly I think replacing McCartney with a lookalike worked out pretty well. I like the post 1966 Beatles music a lot more than the stuff before.

Yeah, I think he played Roy.

It kind of is but it’s an older generation, old media version of meme. Like Howard Stern or comedians that age used to mock or reference it a lot.

They’ve signed tens of thousands of pieces... But not a single love.

If he lived or worked in Santa Clarita, probably not that much? It’s right in the city and close to everything there. The park probably isn’t crazy busy on weekdays except in the summer either so parking and getting in may be faster than you’d think. 

I mean, there are people who just want to get out of the house... Or even more likely, want some time away from someone else in the house.

Ewan seems like the kind of old man who’s in the process of dying for 30 years. You could be right but changing his will is the way he exerts control over his part of the family and he may be “putting his affairs in order” every time he wants attention.

Yeah... I’d never trust a “friend” offering a pill they swore was safe but you have to put some faith in the pharmacist who fills your prescription. Really big difference between a social situation and working with professionals, in part because professionals have knowledge and expertise you don’t.

It’s extremely rare though, right? Seems like something that makes the “weird news” segments or generates outraged editorials and facebook pass arounds which might make it seem common but it’s actually an anomaly for a criminal to successfully sue. These almost-urban-legends are Larry David’s favorite source of…

I kind of expect this generation’s version of Josie and the Pussycats. Not in the tone or humor or energy of Josie, which was all very 2001, but still using what could have been a cheap cash-in to make a smart and self-aware satire.

How about just don’t appear? Let’s not re-normalize the expectation that you have to show up to work when you may be contagious with something. 

So there aren’t a lot of Marvel-style quips in the movie? The trailer has a few of them so I was worried the movie was going to be full of that aloof world-weary banter we’re so used to with superheroes.

Baldwin is known as being difficult to work with and having a temper so it’s not out of the question that some corners were cut to keep him docile.
