I doubt it’s a coincidence that Bortles left the team just as they were deciding to end the show.

I always get the ‘I think it’s GREAT you all have your own parade! We went once a few years ago’ thing. Or, ‘We love gay clubs!’

They’re still reshooting the ending for ‘The Day the Clown Cried,’ I believe.

Common misconception. Especially when it’s on your face.

I’m rather impressed with the sustained Homer metaphor here.

Perhaps it’s a marketing ploy to emphasize that ‘you may THINK you know the story, but you don’t’? Because even the more obscure parts of the Manson story are fairly well-known thanks to books and documentaries and podcasts. 

Doesn’t Neil Patrick Harris count as the break-out star? I mean, he was over and done with, for the most part. There was the random Harold and Kumar bump, but after HIMYM started he kinda became ubiquitous.

I had no idea about the audiobook. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Mother Mary comes to me. Shouting words of anger: Let us shame.

This is the plot of ‘The Wife’. Perhaps Glenn Close can get another shot an the Oscar. 

Enjoy your commit tomorrow.

You must support more public shaming and irrational anger directed at people for drinking water on the train. Or something. You’re extremely angry and self-righteous over something that doesn’t actually concern you. I see why you’re committed each day.

It does seem a bit like doing a NY themed show and setting it in Binghamton.

Enjoy your daily commitment, lacking comity but not short of comment.

Very solid year for performances, apparently. Ellen Burstyn, Goldie Hawn, Gena Rowlands, Spacek. Any of those performances were worth an award, though I am partial to Moore’s, because it was SO against type and so nuanced--it easily could’ve been histrionic or arch, and she downplayed it beautifully. 

No, she certainly didn’t win the Oscar, but did give one hell of a performance.

All of the moves. Every one.

Thing is... she was in Maximum Overdrive before she was Lisa Simpson, and I watched that movie constantly as a kid. Two years into The Simpsons, and I couldn’t watch the movie again without thinking ‘Hey, it’s Lisa’ the entire time. She’s very good in what is an awful movie--and she was great in As Good As It…

She also voiced the ship in an episode of Futurama. The episode itself is weird and perhaps ill-conceived, but she gives one hell of a committed performance and I’m always annoyed she didn’t get more recognition for it. She’s great on film, but she’s also amazing at voicing characters.

I assume a lot of parents will now start tossing footballs at their kids’ faces to justify getting them a nose-job.
