I must have seen the original show as a kid, but I have no recollection of any plots to the show. 

I mean it was right there the whole time:

So it was Jingle All the Way then? Understandable.

Per Frank Wilhoit (not to be confused with Francis Wilhoit):

Being right-wing is either about trying to ‘win’ the love of your distant, neglectful conservative parents, or it’s about becoming the abuser so that you feel safe from your abusive conversative parents. Or both.

The fact that McHale had the “Chevy Chase” role is an insight I hadn’t heard before. I could see someone with an ego like Chase’s being threatened by the idea that the show had a Handsome, Sarcastic Guy role, and that someone else was playing it. And physically fighting with someone 30 years younger than you

In what world is Lance Reddick a footnote.  I mean holy shit.

Perhaps because I’m a bit older, but I wouldn’t mind if “In Memoriam” was longer than 5 minutes. I feel like there’s always someone I didn’t realize was gone, and I also feel like they deserve their time.

There shouldn’t be anything else going on on-stage while this is running.  Just run the video.  Nothing should distract from the remembrance.

I can take or leave the format where past winners gush about current nominees, but I do wish they would show clips of the nominated performances. If the whole point is to celebrate the movies, let’s see some movies!

I think the Batman bit was possibly made even better by that ascot Michael Keaton wore, which just made him look like ‘60s-era Bruce Wayne.

The Batman skit and Ryan Gosling’s performance of I’m Just Ken were the two highlights of the night for me. Al Pacino’s moment was painful - he’s clearly not entirely with us anymore, and bringing him out was a bad choice.

Super Mario World is just perfect. It’s the ultimate distillation of everything the SMB series brought to video gaming. The level designs are inspired and endlessly inventive. The movement is intuitive, but very deep (you can do SO MUCH with the cape!) The character designs are filled with personality. There are

Hmmm, people who liked something a lot 25 years ago have grown up and still like it a lot. Go figure?

I don’t even like Harry Potter but fuck her for telling people what they are “supposed” to like.

Entertainment is for everyone to enjoy. 

Get her and Michelle Williams in old age makeup, secretly taking down Trump.

After the WB Discovery merger I feel like all the execs that knew what they were doing left the company. HBO Max I would have said is one of the best streaming services you can get but I feel like it’s become a shell of what it was. Also I don’t understand dropping the HBO brand, maybe it’s my age but HBO is way more

Oh good, so not only did they learn the opposite of what Suicide Squad’s failure should have taught them, they’ve also decided to only milk four franchises from now on.

Did the Yuzu team even have a lawyer? I don’t believe that it was worth not going to court when they had to pay this much from the start, they went down without a fight and while a settlement may not set a precedent, this will have a chilling effect, they should have fought or at least went for a better settlement.
