Ross Is Not Cool.

They have special sacs near their cloaca that store excess pressure. Releasing the sacs gives them a turbo effect that allows them to swim at supersonic speed. Next question?

You call them “audience.” Us mind flayers just call them “thralls.”

Not that he isn’t talented or accuse him of nepotism, but do you think Duncan Jones would have his career if his dad wasn’t a Monkee?

You don’t think a high concept bank heist movie where everything plays out exactly the way you expect it to just from hearing the tagline, produced not because anyone has a story to tell but because a flailing corporation wants to prove that they’re big boys who can make movies too is going to be good?

He’s been checked out from the beginning, except every fifth or sixth movie where he’s completely awesome for whatever reason. 

It does seem like it could be broad and obvious (though I think this show is smart enough to do it right) and it would be easy to make a Trump analogy.. But I think Connor actually resembles George W Bush.

Howard initially liked Jimmy, or at least didn’t dislike him.. He was actually Jimmy’s foil on Chuck’s orders. 

I’d be all over a Beavis and Butthead at 70 cartoon. Why is Mike Judge not doing this?

Holy crap, Rob Halford is like 66 years old. I bet half the roster of the Wacken fest is age 50 and up.

Why would men in their 70s have any interest in going to see hip youngsters like Rob Halford and Don Dokken?

In other Diff’rent Strokes news, Conrad Bain’s identical twin brother Bonar died in 2005.

There’s only one way to achieve immortality, and that is to drink nothing but Coke Life. 

Really younger people don’t even know The Sopranos. 

Sensymia?

Going to jail was never on the table. Logan threatened that this would be international news and unless Kendall let him cover it up he would be forever associated with the scandal.

I am hoping Connor announcing his dream of running for president is going to pit him against Bogosian next year, with the family news channel backing him of course. This show definitely knows how to put the pieces in place long before their story unfolds. 

I didn’t think I liked the pilot and was just kind of dutifully watching this, not really enjoying it, for maybe four episodes based solely on the Iannucci connection until it suddenly clicked... This is my favorite show of 2018. I really hope HBO allows it to go the distance and I hope word of mouth brings more…

I’m filing this under “wanna-be documentary filmmakers with no ideas of their own glomming on to the latest internet nostalgia trend.” They probably didn’t even give Blockbuster a single thought until the John Oliver segment.

I’m excited about the upcoming Hancock Fabrics documentary, covering everything from the founding in 1957 to expanding to almost 500 stores nationwide to their eventual acquisition by Michael’s Craft Stores.
